Here at Lakeside, we want your wedding day to be everything you want and more. We have multiple ceremony sites available for you to choose from. You can do a ceremony inside the Event Center, on the Great Lawn, at Main Campfire, or by the Dead Sea. Inside the Event Center you don’t have to worry about weather and you have a variety of ways to set up a ceremony and reception in one or use the different spaces in any way you can imagine to have it all. The Great Lawn is 3 acres outside the Event Center over looking the lake. You are next to the event center and close to parking.
