Venue on the Lake was such a blessing for our 2020 wedding. We booked the place months before the pandemic hit, and had to postpone the event, and had many other concerns to make sure our wedding was safe and still beautiful. Communicating with Bill was so easy, and so was postponing the wedding and making sure it was socially distant. I did not have to worry about anything through the whole process and was so happy with how my wedding went, from the moment we booked until the event ended. Even when the city started construction nearby that week, they put curtains up so the orange cones wouldn't show during our ceremony. We would highly recommend working with this venue!

Paradise Cove provided incredible and so efficient communication throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work and value was absolutely perfect - they truly helped make our special day stunning. When we forgot baskets for the flower girls, they had two at the bridal suite within minutes. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Cathleen and Luis, who made our day so perfect and smooth. It was like a dream, and it all happened so fast, but they helped us enjoy every passing minute.
