History
Before the clubhouse was erected, the land was named Valhalla by the First Nations. In the ancient Norsemen language, the name translates to the “dwelling place of the Gods.” Later in the 1930s, the stunning house was built on the divine land with the supervision of the head architect, Mr. Francis G. Hasselman. To preserve the prestige of the community, no building was permitted to cost less than 5,000 dollars, a dear sum for its time. No expense was spared while developing the Lake Valhalla Club, and once it opened its doors it entertainment the likes of many families. The house provided a hub for guests to enjoy outdoor activities such as, tennis, fishing, boating, skating, and socializing with likeminded people.

Wow - what an amazing experience working with the staff and crew at Lake Valhalla, especially during a pandemic. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the business/operations manager Kristine Howar made the entire process so easy and personable. Absolutely no drama or hiccups on our actual wedding day, and our guests still can't stop talking about attending the "best party ever." Huge shout-out to the awesome bartenders who were able to keep-up with our rather rambunctious group. And working with the Maitre' D Claudio was an absolute pleasure - he truly made me feel like the luckiest bride. We can't wait to go back to Lake Valhalla to celebrate all future anniversaries.

Amazing Wedding Day
From the moment my husband and I met with Kristine (who is so sweet and the best!), we knew that Lake Valhalla Club was the place we wanted to get married. First of all, it is a gorgeous venue. They advertise this venue as rustic elegance, and it truly is. The lake alone is beautiful, but the rustic charm inside and out with exposed beams, fireplaces, etc. make this venue one of a kind. On top of the beauty, the staff are truly what make Valhalla club the best. Claudio, the banquet manager, truly is an amazing maitre d. He makes sure that everything runs smoothly from lining everyone up, making sure everything is decorated perfectly, making sure the bride & groom are on point with their attire at all times etc. In addition, the wait staff and bartenders were also the best. Our guests keep telling us what an amazing time they had. We can't THANK YOU ALL enough for an unforgettable experience on our special day.

Amazing staff and beautiful place.
I do not even know where to begin. First off, the venue is gorgeous! We were looking for a rustic look and got exactly that at lake Valhalla. The gorgeous fireplaces and lights above the dance floor gave it such a cozy and romantic look. Kristine and Claudio were amazing to work with. Kristine was so responsive to all inquiries and a pleasure to work with. Claudio was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to help make our day amazing! He was so helpful and took very good care of us on our wedding day. His assistant, Rachel, was so sweet and very helpful too! My husband and I didn’t get to eat at cocktail hour, with saying hi to everyone and taking photos, so she was sweet enough to put a plate together, so that we had something to eat. They really went above and beyond to make our day truly amazing. I highly recommended this venue. We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out. Thank you!!!
Lake Valhalla Is an Excellent Venue that we just love to work at! Staff is Amazing and the Food is Great! Brides this is Definitely a Place to check out!
