The Ballroom at The Essex

The Ballroom at The Essex is an indoor event space within The Essex Resort & Spa, an 18-acre resort in Essex, Vermont, about 20 minutes from Burlington International Airport. At 2,688 square feet, the Ballroom accommodates up to 250 guests, with configurations ranging from plated dinners for 150 or buffet receptions for 100 to cocktail-style receptions for up to 200. Every reception in the Ballroom includes tables and chairs, a choice of white, ivory, or black linens, and a dedicated Event Manager who oversees setup, breakdown, and day-of logistics. Catering is prepared in-house using ingredients from Vermont purveyors; outside catering is not permitted, though outside desserts are allowed for a fee. Couples booking the Ballroom also have access to the wider resort, including 120 guest rooms for overnight stays or room blocks, complimentary on-site parking with EV charging, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony options elsewhere on the property.
