Question

Are there outdoor components to the wedding and reception?

Answer

Our Welcome Drinks at 8:30PM will be held outdoors at Lodges 53 & 54 on the lake. Our ceremony will be held at a church, so there are no outdoor components to this part of our day. Weather permitting, our cocktail hour from 5:00-6:00PM will be held outdoors. Ladies - we would recommend wearing wedges or block heels because cocktail hour will be on the grass. Our reception from 6:00PM-10:00PM will be indoors, regardless of the weather. Our After Party at The Orchard will be outdoors. It is a great space for our guests to keep the party going, but we want everyone to let their hair down, change into comfy clothes, and relax. The Orchard will have drinking & yard games, a fire pit, and a very casual atmosphere to end our big day.

Question

How do I get to the church and the venue?

Answer

The best way to get to the church and the venue are to plug the addresses into a GPS. However, our venue is off of some back roads, so lookout for black & white wedding signs that are personalized for our big day and will help direct you to the venue.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures on the venue grounds. Guests can feel free to head to the venue as there are plenty of guests staying on the venue grounds that I am sure would welcome you to their cabins for a drink or two. Additionally, there is a list of local restaurants provided in welcome bags and on the 'Things to Do' portion of our wedding website in case you want to explore some local spots before the cocktail hour.
