    Wonderful wedding venue

    We could not have asked for more from a wedding venue! The building and grounds are absolutely beautiful. The outdoor ceremony site is stunning, even with no additional decorations. The staff was well organized and very easy to communicate with, they even helped us with last minute back-up plans in case of poor weather. We couldn't believe we were able to get such a nice spot for such a good value. Highly recommend!

    Beautfiul venue but disorganized staff

    The Lodge itself and the grounds are beautiful! However, the event manager was very disorganized and rude at our walk-through a few weeks before the wedding. On my wedding day another staff member of The Lodge was there and contradicted everything we discussed at the walk-through. Although we kept them in loop throughout the process of creating the master timeline of the day, which stated that the last dance would be at 11:30pm, the staff memeber told my DJ to shut off the music at 11pm and would not let us have our last dance. It's a truly beautiful venue and it's a shame that the staff were difficult to work with and caused unnecessary stress on our wedding day.
