Loved Carver Lake Venue!

We are so honored that we could get married at Carver Lake Venue. We were a very DIY wedding, and the Carver Lake team was very supportive, and informative throughout the whole process. We appreciated how transparent they were with us, and allowed us to use our creativity as well. On the wedding day, they were so helpful! We had a rainy day for our wedding, and they were supportive and helpful to make sure our wedding was still beautiful!

Truly beyond AWESOME

Wonderful. Not only was the venue beyond mt expectations but Patty helped pull all the loose in together, and just made the wedding so spectacular. It was as if every detail have been considered. I have already started praising this place to the people I know.

Carver Lake

As soon as we booked with Carver Lake for our wedding a month ago, we knew we made the right choice! The barn and all of the land is so gorgeous and made for beautiful pictures. Patty was an absolute joy to work with and was always more than willing to accommodate us and help out wherever she could. I would highly highly recommend Carver Lake to anyone that is working with a rather small budget but still wants a beautiful wedding!
