We got married at The Lakehouse Inn (Perkasie, PA) Friday, May 17, 2013. If you know the venue then you know everyone gets this venue to be married outside on their beautiful property on Lake Nockamixon. I loved that the Lakehouse Inn had 10 rooms for you and 18 of your guest to stay their. The décor in the Inn is breath taking. They have wood-burning fireplaces, stone-walled basement and a wine cellar with wine tasting. The grooms room is as I like to call it a "man cave" with the big bar, big flat screen TV, a pool table, and very big couch. The groom and his grooms men were very relaxed the day of the wedding watching the baseball game and playing pool drinking their beer and eating their pretzels. The bridal sweet is beautiful! It has 2 bathrooms, makeup room, TV, king size bed, and 2 walkout balcony's that over look the Nockamixon State Park and Lake. I along with all my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom were very relaxed getting pampered with are hair and makeup artist, sipping on Champagne and eating our cheese, fruit, and cracker tray. The ballroom is amazing with the gorgeous chandelier, water trickling down the stone wall, and the roses that were etched into the stone dance floor. They also have an after party for you and your guest that stay with you at the inn at the outdoor fire pit, with beer/wine and pizza. What could be better then that? The food was absolutely amazing! Every single one of my guest raved about how much food there was and how delicious everything was and that it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Anthia and Heather were amazing with helping me with all of my questions and concerns. If I emailed or called them they got back to me the same day no matter what day it was! They kept my wedding on schedule and made sure my husband and I sat down to eat while the food was hot. My wedding was beyond PERFECT! I highly recommend The Lakehouse Inn for you wedding!

My husband and I could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! The staff is wonderful to work with. They are organized, personable, reliable and professional. We only wish there were more rooms for guests! Our day would not have been possible without their efforts and we are eternally grateful. This is the perfect venue for couples looking to get away but not too far!

One visit to the Lake House Inn and we knew it was the place for our wedding! The venue is simply amazing. From the first day we visited we were treated as if we were the only wedding of the year; thanks to Anthia Graham and Glenn’s staff at the Inn. The Lake House Inn offers spectacular views of Lake Nockamixon, a beautiful ballroom and five star accommodations. With just one wedding per day, you have the entire property to yourself including the Inn, the ballroom and the attention of the staff. Our wedding planner was Anthia Graham and we can’t say enough about her service, attention to detail and genuine personality. Anthia was there for us from day one and was also the day of coordinator and stayed until the last guest left – a testament to her professionalism, dedication and love for what she does. Anthia runs a tight ship, and you will thank her for it, as she keeps the guests moving, the wedding organized and the timing right on point! Anthia’s response time to our countless emails and phone calls was usually within minutes, but at the most within a few hours – you truly feel like you are her only client. As a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, food quality, flavor composition and presentation were very important to us and we were extremely impressed. The quality was that of a five star restaurant, nothing frozen, everything prepared from scratch and unique flavor combinations that simply “wowed” our guests. The catering menu choices are flexible and Jeffrey Miller’s team will adjust flavors at your request, which was very impressive. The service team, including the beverage manager, servers, bartenders and valet team, attended to us and our guests with great professionalism and delivered exceptional service. We can’t say enough about The Lake House Inn, Jeffrey Miller Catering and especially Anthia Graham, who all worked together to put on an unforgettable wedding for us, our family and our friends.

The Lake House Inn was fabulous, beautiful, everything you could want in a venue. From the moment we walked into the Inn we were hooked. They provide you with an experience that you can’t find anywhere else.

The accommodations are incredible; 10 beautifully appointed guest rooms. We chose to have our bridal party stay with us and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and loved the “vacation” feel of it all. Spending time with our closest friends in the last 24 hours before we became husband and wife was an unforgettable part of our experience at the Lake House.

The experience on the day of the wedding was fantastic as well. All of the small details provided by the Lake House added to the experience and were much appreciated. Every piece of the cocktail hour and reception was exceptional. We received many compliments from the wedding guests about the wonderful time they had at the wedding.

We cannot say enough about the wonderful staff at the inn. The day would not have been possible without them. Anything you need to help you get ready for the day, the staff is there helping you. The entire staff was such a joy to work with. They all worked seamlessly on the wedding day to make the day something that we will never forget. Anthia was quick to answer any questions we had leading up to the wedding. She worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding and that everything looked the way we had envisioned. Anthia and the rest of the staff was by far the best I've experienced - very professional, friendly and catering to your every need.

Side note worth mentioning...On the day of the wedding I used a handkerchief from my great grandmother. It was misplaced during the reception and we didn’t notice until the next day. Heather helped us locate it by looking through the dumpster full of trash from the reception. This just goes to show you how much the staff really goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is nothing short of amazing.

I can't say enough great things about The Lake House Inn! Anthia and Glen are the best! Anthia is professional, thorough, and a blast to work with! She knows her stuff. Anthia took care of every little detail. The day of my wedding I didn't worry about a thing except having the time of my life. The owner, Glen, is beyond nice. He is welcoming and really goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is being taken care of. The caterer, Jeffery Miller, did a wonderful job! My guests enjoyed everything at cocktail hour. They said there was always servers with food and they enjoyed everything! My husband and I made it a point to sit down and enjoy our dinner. We were so glad we did! It was delicious. The cake was amazing! Jeffery himself came out to say hello to myself and parents to make sure we were happy with everything. Top notch service!

My husband and I got married at the Lake House this past June and I have to say that overall our wedding and experience with the Lake House Inn was absolutely magical. When we visited the Lake House Inn 2 years ago we feel in love with the setting and booked it right away after looking at only a few other venues. It was everything that we were looking for, a beautiful spacious outdoor setting for the ceremony and cocktails, and a perfect ballroom for the party. Robyn was assigned to be our wedding coordinator and I can not say how lucky we felt to have someone as experienced, responsive and knowledgeable help us plan the wedding. We were planning the wedding from a different state and did not hire an outside planner so it was very important that we could trust all of Robyn's recommendations. We had a terrific experience with every vendor she recommended- which turned out to be more than half of the vendors we ultimately chose. Looking back at the pictures again reminds me what a beautiful day it was and how happy we were to have chosen the Lake House Inn as our venue!

We could not have been happier with our wedding at The Lake House Inn. The location is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was courteous and helpful, and the inn is magnificent. We were able to accommodate the entire wedding party at the Lake House, and since we had a Friday evening wedding we had the entire place for two nights. Having 10 complimentary rooms for guests to stay for two nights definitely offset the expense of booking The Lake House. We even held our rehearsal dinner at the Lake House. We have received countless compliments on how beautiful the wedding was and have been asked multiple times about how we found such a fabulous location for our wedding. This site is definitely a hidden gem and I truly do not have enough good things to say about this venue.

We had our wedding ceremony, reception and after party here on 12/16. Everything was fantastic and exceeded my wildest expectations. The staff was very accomodating and flexible to our needs. We had a few requests for customization and they met every request with a smile. Shannon was terrific in helping us plan for the day and in executing that plan to perfection. Thanks a million!

The day couldn't have gone any better. Everything ran very smoothly -- staff was attentive yet mostly invisible, the food was better than I had remembered at the tasting... the ambiance was beautiful. Very professional all around -- I saw Jason working at 10AM that morning, and he was still working and bringing us beer past 3AM at the fire pit. "Above and beyond" fits almost every aspect of our wedding day, truly the best day of my life. Shannon did an excellent job planning with us, and although it sometimes took a few extra days to get a response to a phone call or email, she delivered on everything that was promised. I'd love to do it all over again :) Thanks a million, words can't describe, I can't think of any better place to begin my new journey in life. -A.W.

If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding in a beautiful setting, it doesn’t get much better than the Lake House Inn. The owner, Glenn, and his wife--who a few years ago bought the Lake House--fully refurbished and redecorated this historic building to transform it into a warm and modern venue space. They have thought of every last detail to ensure the couple and their guests can enjoy a really sophisticated wedding, reception and overnight stay.

Some of our favorite details: a welcome beverage for guests, a wine cellar where guests can take part in a tasting during the cocktail hour, 10 sleekly appointed rooms at the Lake House for a select group of family and friends to stay the night of the wedding, a fire pit for those staying at the Lake House where they order you pizza and give you buckets of beer, and breakfast ready for you when you wake up in the morning (the homemade quiche is really tasty).

Both the backdrop, Lake Nockamixon, and the facility are wonderful, as are the staff at the inn. The catering service they use, Jeffrey Miller, definitely delivers --we got many compliments on the quality of the food from our guests.

While it’s by no means inexpensive, you absolutely get what you pay for in terms of organization, professionalism and creativity.

Our wedding involved an Indian and a Catholic ceremony in the same day, which posed a number of logistical challenges, but the Lake House didn’t bat an eye. Our planner, Robyn, was a real pro. She was a breeze to work with, made wonderful suggestions about food and beverage choices, was incredibly attentive and energetic, and we can’t recommend her in particular more highly. Additionally, we worked with Anthony and Revathy at Jeffrey Miller in order to create a custom hybrid menu of both Indian and new American flavors, and they were amazing.

Leading up to the day, they accommodated a private tasting for us in Philadelphia and the food was fantastic. We did a group tasting too, and highly recommend that experience (which is pretty chaotic) because it gives you an honest sense of how Jeffrey Miller staff prepare and serve food in large quaniity. We appreciated that the Lake House also allowed us to drop off favors, menus, and other essentials a few days before the wedding so we weren’t hauling it all there the day of.

The nicest thing about having a wedding there is it’s all yours; the only people at the event space are there for your wedding, and it’s set off at the end of a road on a lake, so no random people walking by or peeping in to see what’s going on -- or worse, having another wedding right next door. It gives the day a really special feeling.

While we worried about the risks that comes along with an outdoor ceremony --rain!-- we happened to be very luck with the weather on our day, but the Lake House staff was fully prepared to make a last minute change to move the entire ceremony indoors if need be.

We came out of the experience feeling really happy to have chosen the Lake House Inn and we highly recommend it.

My husband and I got married at the Lake House Inn this past July and our wedding day was absolutely amazing. It started off a bit shaky because it was a rainy day but Anthia pulled it all together and made sure everything was perfect. The staff at the Lake House works very hard to make sure all of your wedding dreams come true. We got married on a Friday so we had the Lake House both Thursday and Friday night. When we arrived all of the rooms were clean and ready for our guests. From the moment we arrived the staff was very accommodating and there to meet our every need. Marina stays with you over night and she is a ton of fun! She did a photo-shoot of my husband and I after the after party lol. The Lake House Inn is pretty pricey but it is well worth the money! The only complaints that we have were with the communication. It often takes a while to get in contact with the Lake House Staff but they do eventually get back to you. Also, if it rains on your wedding day let them make the call to have it indoors. Anthia let me decide and it was so stressful, I didn’t know what to do. We brought in a lot of our own decorations and they were set up beautifully throughout the wedding. The only thing I didn’t get back was the 10,000 crystals I brought. So if you happen to use pink crystals during your wedding, you’re welcome! All in all, no other wedding will ever compare to a Lake House wedding!

I never had a "fairy tale" vision of what my wedding day would look like, but when I first visited the Lake House Inn (LHI) I knew instantly that the venue was everything wanted for my wedding day.

The site is stunning; it is located on the edge of Lake Nockamixon State Park and the state park building to the left of the LHI is the only other buillding on the waterfront. The lake is shaped like a "y" and the LHI sits at th intersection of the branches of the lake which makes for exceptionally nice photographs. Also, on a nice day there are lots of sailboats on the lake which adds to the ambiance. One of our guests jokingly asked us how much we paid for the sailboat behind our wedding ceremony in our wedding colors!

The building is historic with original elements dating back to the 1700's, but has been renovated and furnished in a clean, contemporary style which seamlessly fuses the old with the new. The architecture and decor are beautiful as they are, but is also a good foundation for customizing the site for your own wedding since the building has neutral tones and fits with a wide variety of wedding themes, colors, etc. The ballroom comes with a gobo on the draped fabric ceiling that you can customize to your wedding colors and has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the lake. In the case of inclement weather, the ceremony is held in the ballroom which still offers a full lake view. This option was very important to me as a backup to our outdoor ceremony.

The hotel rooms are really nice; certainly on par with an elegant boutique hotel - when we were talking with them about booking, Friday nights included two nights of accomodations - the Thursday before and the night of the wedding; Saturday nights had to include the room package, and Sundays had the option of the room package.

The ceremony oval is well-manicured and seasonal elements like annual flowers are added to the venue. There is a firepit area that hosts an after-party. Landscaping at the site is excellent and there are a lot of nice areas for photographs.

The staff is great; the owner Glenn is always constantly improving the venue. Several new elements and rooms were completed during year and a half from our booking time to our wedding. Glenn is on-site on the day of the wedding and is such a gracious host. Marina, the housekeeping and breakfast staff member is a real sweetheart. She was so kind to us during the day and stayed up late to drive our friends back up to the parking lot before getting up early to prepare breakfast.

Since the site is owned by an individual, there is a lot of flexibility to customize the site to your needs. Glenn went above and beyond in permitting and facilitating the special details in our wedding such as allowing us to bring in food and beverages to highlight our heritage and other elements which were very important to us.

The price of the venue is expensive versus other Philadelphia area venues, but for us it was well worth it. That being said, the prices continue to rise and it is a good idea to book early with them to lock in your date and a lower price before they inevitably raise prices. There are discounts based on the season and day of the week. Sundays on holiday weekends are still eligible for the discount. Our wedding was on the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend so many guests had the next day off from work, but we received a sizable discount compared to the Saturday price. While the temptation for some vendors would be to provide lesser service to "off-peak" guests, this was absolutely not the case at the LHI as we were truly treated like family. We booked in spring 2009 in the midst of our present recession and as I work in the hospitality industry I knew that many wedding sites were offering deals for weddings. The LHI and their exclusive caterer Jeffrey A. Miller Catering (JAM) are very firm on the price of their services. However, we found that they are open to expansion of "extras" such as the number of people at the official afterparty and breakfast which normally have additional per person costs.

My only issue the way booking and planning are handled you often are in the hands of the exclusive caterer. We found that site-related questions were not always answered promptly during the planning stages. For example, we asked our day-of-coordinator about how to pay the final alcohol expenses reflecting the updated guest count a month before the wedding and we didn't talk to Glenn under the day after our wedding about the issue. Also, since the caterer handles the partyspace wedding planning website, the LHI is not represented on the rival popular wedding site, theknot.com and I think it is a shame because it limits the number of people who know about this great venue!

I know this has been a long review, but to sum it up we had a wonderful wedding day and the LHI is a huge part of why the event was so successful. We had high expectations for them and they exceeded them by miles!

No other venue compares. As soon as we went to visit the Lake House, that was the end of our search. From the main building, to the gardens, to the ballroom, the Lake House can not be outdone. The food by Jefferey Miller Catering is amazing and your entire day is organized to a tee for you...ending by the fire pit at the end of the night. Definitely a location to check out.

This is a breathe taking venue!!! As soon as my husband and I walked into the venue we just looked at eachother and said THIS IS IT!!! Took a tour and was set! The lake at sun set was so beautiful, peaceful and elegant!!! Plenty of space for guest to walk around and explore the grounds. Still months after our wedding and guest are still talking about the Lake House Inn!!! It was the perfect venue for the style wedding we were going for: beautiful, elegant, and on a budget.
