The North Shore House holds a special place in our hearts- they helped make our wedding day the literal BEST DAY EVER. From start to finish, we couldn't have been happier! Emma and the rest of the staff were timely with communication, SUPER organized, helpful with details, and so attentive. Emma was truly a rockstar point person- we can't rave about her enough! The space speaks for itself: the outdoor space perfectly amplifies the natural beauty of the lake, and the indoor space is cozy, warm, and inviting- a perfect place to dance the night away! The food was amazing (must get the pistachio crusted lamb chops), and the wait staff was the most helpful. We have been to the restaurant several times before, so knew the food was delicious, but our guests couldn't stop mentioning how tasty everything was! Some bullet points of things we LOVED: -the hotel rooms are cozy, individual, and inviting, with space for all the hotel guests to chill and hang out -North Shore picked us up from my parent's lake house on the other side of the lake in their 2 pontoon boats, and we had a blast riding to the ceremony -everything was meticulously set up, from the beautiful white chairs to the signs we had made -Can't stress how beautiful the outdoor ceremony was -My husband and I scheduled 5 minutes alone together in the bocce ball quart after the ceremony during cocktail hour, and the staff had pre set a plate of hors d'ouvres and 2 cocktails there for us so we didn't miss any of the food -One of the waitresses told my husband and I at the start of the night that she was going to make sure we ate enough and drank enough water throughout the night- she was so sweet, and several times made sure we had cocktails and champagne. -The dance floor was big enough for all of our friends and family to dance- we were on the floor the entire night! - We used all of the North Shore House's preferred vendors (Platinum Band, Karen's Kreations, Orchard Street photography, Stocker Bus) and couldn't have been happier with their suggestions -We did an after party in the back bar- super fun! If you want a beautiful venue with picture perfect outdoor space, cozy indoor space, delicious food, super helpful personnel, and overall GREAT vibes, book North Shore House!

We didn’t go into our wedding with many clear ideas, but I had a clear “vibe” for the venue that I was looking for. We visited dozens of places and were about to give up when someone from a local restaurant told us to check out Magnolia. Thank god we did – I walked in and started tearing up. We didn’t have an appointment, but they gave us a tour anyway, and we fell in love. Although you can’t see it from the road, the moment you step inside Magnolia feels like you’ve entered a beautiful hidden forest glen. The only word we could think of to describe it, and the word we heard over and over from our guests, was “magical”. Everyone we met and worked with at Magnolia was great, but Cheyenne is truly amazing. By the end of the wedding day, it felt like we had gained a family member. She is so kind, thoughtful, creative, and fun. We called her with big problems and small questions and just curious thoughts, and each time she treated the conversation as the highest priority. She went out of her way to make sure our day was exactly how we pictured it, from finding us a local taco truck (and taste testing them for us!) to securing last minute umbrellas when the weather suddenly shifted. We called a lot of vendors, but after speaking with them, almost always ended up going with Cheyenne’s recommendation – we liked them best! And from food, to photography & videography, to music, we were happy with how everything turned out. Shout out to Love & Light, Mackey, and DJ Ruben! It did rain the day-of, but it only added to the beautiful scenery, the experience, and even the photos. The pavilion added plenty of cover for the majority of the night and Cheyenne coolly handled all wrinkles that appeared. We got married last year in June, and it’s taken a while to write this review, in part because it doesn’t quite feel like we can ever find the words to truly express our gratitude and appreciation for Cheyenne and Magnolia. Thank you for making our day feel as magical as we do when we’re together. Can’t wait to come back for our anniversary each year!
