Perfect Wedding

When we were looking for a wedding venue, we wanted a place that was on the water and provide the catering and alcohol in one package. We found this place and do not regret one single thing. Everyone on the team was so amazing to work with and provided great communication. Gun Lake will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we will be back celebrate our anniversary :)
