Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set on the shores of pristine Cedar Lake, this award-winning restaurant and venue showcases many of Northern Indiana's most valuable resources: stunning landscapes, caring hospitality, and delicious, locally sourced cuisine. The whole place has a warmly sophisticated vibe without ever feeling stuffy—and all-inclusive packages keep the planning process a breeze.
- A charming lakeside gazebo is roomy enough to host your ceremony, with guests seated on a patio facing the sparkling water. As the sun dips towards the horizon, the celebration can flow onto the adjacent lawn (make sure to capture golden hour on the pier!). Inside, there are spaces to fit every style and guest count, from the glass-walled Garden Room to the cozy, nautical-inspired Main Dining Room.
- The food is truly spectacular, with exceptional service to match. The culinary team brings craft, creativity, and seasonality to every menu, and are happy to customize everything to suit your tastes, whether you envision a formal plated dinner, a cocktail-style reception, or an intimate brunch affair.
