Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This lovely, family-run venue sits at the edge of a peaceful lake surrounded by lush woodlands. The care taken with the beautiful property also extends to your special day: the thoughtful owners treat each wedding with the ultimate attention.
- Walk out to the edge of the dock to exchange vows at the water's edge, as your loved ones look on from rustic wooden benches nestled on the bank—not a bad seat in the house!
- The all-wood pavilion hovers gracefully above the lake, illuminated by sparkling chandeliers hung from its vaulted ceiling. It's completely covered, with open sides that allow guests to take in the views.
