    October 2025 Wedding

    We had our wedding at The Rosemary At Spano Lake on October 4th and it was everything we could have asked for and more! The owners, Jackie and Danny, were amazing to work with and helped make our wedding visions come true by going above and beyond our expectations. The bridal suite was beautiful and had amazing lighting for hair and makeup! The tent was able to accommodate our guests of about 125, it had beautiful lights, tables, bar service, and so much more! Outside of the tent there was yard games and a fire pit! We had our ceremony on the lake facing out to the water by the rock and it looked just like a scene out of a movie! The pictures show just a small portion of how beautiful and amazing the venue was!

    The Rosemary at Spano Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Jackie and Danny were quick to respond, knowledgeable about their offerings, and easy to work with in planning all the details. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life. The venue itself is intimate and naturally beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding location and highly recommend The Rosemary at Spano Lake to any couple looking for an exceptional venue experience.

    Bride

    The Rosemary at Spano Lake was an incredible venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, helpful, and clear - they were always ready to assist with any questions or changes we had. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly above and beyond, helping to execute our vision for a beautiful, natural outdoor celebration to perfection. Whether it was guiding us through contingency plans for potential rain, cold, or heat, or simply being there to lend a hand whenever needed, the team at The Rosemary went out of their way to ensure our day was nothing short of magical. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stunning setting and a truly memorable wedding experience.

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    Jackie and Danny Spano have created something special with the Rosemary at Spano Lake. I had the good fortune to get married at the Rosemary this May, and my husband and I are so grateful that the Rosemary will forever be part of our memory of our wedding day. It is objectively a beautiful place to get married with gorgeous vistas of the lake and the woods and flawlessly manicured grounds. It also feels intimate because you and your guests are truly welcomed into the Spanos' home. Jackie and Danny went above and beyond to ensure our guests were comfortable and happy on a day when the weather didn't fully cooperate by setting up the site, getting us heaters, doling out umbrellas, and working with us to host our ceremony in a window when the clouds parted. Even though they weren't coordinators for the event, the Spanos did everything they could to make sure we were getting the most out of our day. Aside from the remarkable couple running the Rosemary, this venue has so much more available for you than the average outdoor venue, including handmade harvest tables, a bridal suite, chairs for your guests, and a sailcloth tent. I couldn't recommend it enough.
