“We got married 9/5/26 at the Lake House and it was an amazing experience start to finish. From our first meeting with the owner Paul, to email communication, meetings with Carole, everything was exceptional. They really went above and beyond for our day. They are a great team and made it easy and stress-free. The venue is so beautiful on its own, you don't have to add much! The food was incredible, the views outside were amazing and the service was top-notch. They worked closely with us to pick our menu, linens, drinks, you name it. The day of went smoothly, as Paul himself continuously checked in on us and our guests throughout the night. We gave Carole our signage and other decor and she made everything look beautiful. Our guests have had nothing but great things to say. We would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend the Lake House and their team for a wedding or other event. We have not a single complaint, everything was flawless! We will miss working alongside such a great team! We'll always be grateful for them.”

From the minute we walked in we felt right at home and that feeling stuck with us throughout the entire process.

“The Carousel Museum is truly a beautiful and unique venue, and very affordable compared to other venues. My wife picked this place, and at first I couldn't understand how people get married here...then we get upstairs to the ballroom and I was sold. The chandeliers from the ceiling, the gorgeous wood, the colors and aesthetic can pretty much work with whatever your theme is. The staff were great, a couple minor issues leading up to the event but all things considered they did a fantastic job handling everything. Highly recommended!”
