My husband and I recently got married at this beautiful venue in August. We had the ceremony on the water and everything about the day was so beautiful and perfect. It was also so very nice to have so many things within walking distance for our guests and more than enough spaces for people to stay nearby. Everyone we worked with was so incredible and helpful. Wedding planning is very stressful, but they all had a very calming, put-together presence. They were so organized and helped make the day go seamlessly. We are beyond appreciative of Franque, Mindy, Jack and Karen and everyone else who helped make this day so very special. They were so patient and worked with us to make it everything we wanted the day to be and more. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a beach wedding!!

We couldn’t have made a better choice than EnVision as our venue for our 3 day and 550 guest Gujarati Indian traditional wedding. This particular venue was a perfect place to use not only as a venue but also as accommodation for many of our guests. The open concept building allowed them to freely mingle and attend events in a ballroom conveniently central to all the food, drinks and rooms. Christine, the Director of Catering Sales, was exceptional in contributing on her end in the wedding planning process. We appreciated the opportunity to meet in person with her several times throughout this period to touch base about all the details on the hotel’s end. She was very flexible, cooperative and understanding of our culture’s traditions and what they entailed. She truly did her best in ensuring we could do everything we wanted while also maintaining safety of all the guests, vendors and employees. Samantha from sales was also wonderful to work with. She was very quick to respond and very helpful in coordinating our room block and room assignments. Overall, highly recommend EnVision for all weddings, traditional or not!

I got married at Lake Pearl in July 2024, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the entire staff was an absolute dream to work with. They truly held my hand through the whole process, making everything feel so seamless and stress-free. One of the best parts was that the venue included beautiful floral centerpieces and a delicious cake, which took so much coordination off my plate. Their preferred vendors and the staff are like a well-oiled machine, working together flawlessly. Lake Pearl is also the perfect backdrop for photos, with a beach, dock, gardens, and tree-lined forest areas that provide diverse landscapes for stunning photo opportunities. I got married in the new Belvedere building, which is a showstopper filled with great lighting and tons of windows! Getting ready on-site was a wonderful experience, with breakfast and lunch catered to the bridal suite, making for a perfect, relaxed start to the day. From the cocktail hour to the reception, everything went smoothly, and it truly was the best day of my life. A huge thank you to Jules and Janet for making everything perfect! Lake Pearl will always hold a special place in my heart, and I highly recommend it to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

In 1928, Castle Hill was crowned with a 59-room Stuart-style mansion designed by world-renowned architect David Adler.
