Eko Backen is an amazing place! We had many guests come up to us saying how beautiful and fun it was! We got married 10/01/2016 and the scenery was stunning. John is an absolute pleasure to deal with as well, very down to earth and doesn't try to rack up prices, just because it's for a wedding. He's very reasonable. I would highly recommend Eko Backen and John's catering for your wedding!!

If you are looking for a true country wedding this is the place to have it. John has all the hardware you need (tables & chairs) and you can decorate anyway you like. John also caters if you want everything all in one place. He has a good selection of food to choose from and it all tastes amazing. My wife and I got married in October and the view was to die for! If you want a secluded venue where you can relax and enjoy the day, this is the only venue you should look at. Contact John and he will gladly give you the tour and even does a sample dinner. Look no further!

Great All-in-One Outdoor Location

Eko Backen is a great venue and versatile space. We were able to have both our ceremony and reception at one location. Unlike other places we looked at where one space was offered for that same outcome, Eko Backen has a variety of areas that we had full access to all day long and into the night. The open concept allowed everyone to feel close and involved without being crammed into one room. Awesome colors made for amazing photos and scenery. Mini golf and bonfire pit made for a unique wedding experience. John and staff were responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and the big day. Ultimately, the flexibility the venue offered made Eko Backen an easy choice for us.
