When my husband and I were engaged, we looked at loads of venues; but Iola Lakeside Events just simply couldn't be beat for their price, and all that it included (chair and table set up/tear down, access to their backdrops and decorations, a day-of coordinator, beautiful lighting already set up, and loads more). We ended up using their decorations, altar options, and between those and chair/table set up/tear down, it saved us so much stress and money. For the wedding day they did NOT disappoint; they were incredibly kind, professional, informative, and helpful the whole way. For the wedding itself, our day-of coordinator (Chelsea, we miss you!) was very calm as she managed so many behind-the-scenes details. I had to throw some schedule changes at her and she handled them so kindly and helped make them happen. And the venue itself is absolutely beautiful; the outdoor greenery is so pretty for any season, and the indoor barn is an elegant beauty. The included lights are absolutely stunning and perfect for any time of day. I cannot recommend them enough!
Working with Sara and Cristi was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding! They are such great people to work with! Not to mention that the venue is gorgeous! They will really go above and beyond to make sure the day is beyond perfect. Couldn't recommend this venue enough!
