Outdoor or indoor wedding.

Lakedale resort was amazing! They helped you with whatever you needed set up the tables and chairs and even had golf carts to help family members who weren’t able to walk very well. Carla the head director is amazing and responds to emails within a timely manner. Like the resort is the place you need if you’re looking for an outdoor and indoor wedding setting. It was relaxing and beautiful and worth every penny. Thank you Lakedale resort!

The venue of our dreams!

We wanted to have a "summer camp" type wedding, but at a location that would actually allow our guests to be comfortable. Lakedale was PERFECT. It's an oasis - just absolutely beautiful, with a wide range of accommodations. We rented out the whole site so almost all of our guests could stay on site. It's contained enough to feel exclusive, but not cramped, with a couple different beautiful spots for ceremony, reception, etc. The staff was fabulous beyond words - we particularly worked closely with Carla. She was responsive, helpful, and flexible during the planning process. During the weekend itself the staff was never in the way but ever present, and it felt like the set up magically appeared and got cleaned up without us or our guests having to worry about it. Being at Lakedale in general is a special experience - having a wedding there is a dream. All of our guests told us they'd never been anywhere like it and were planning their return trips. I cannot recommend highly enough!

Our wedding at Lakedale was literally EVERYTHING we hoped it would be. We threw a weekend-long party and 90% of our guests (135 total) stayed ON the property. Lakedale has something for everyone - luxurious rooms in the Lodge, entire cabins for 5-6 people to share, canvas "glamping" tents, or just simple campsites. We booked out the entire Lodge, all 6 cabins, the "Airstream" RV trailer, a number of canvas tents, and tons of campsites. I can't even begin to explain how fun the weekend was... everyone was so relaxed, the weather was amazing, and the Lakedale staff was simultaneously ever-present when we needed something, yet completely out of the way at all times. They were 100% open to everything we brought to the table - we are very DIY people, and our wedding reflected that. We asked to have our ceremony in a location they had never done one before: no problem. We wanted our friends to throw a live concert on Friday night as people were arriving: done, they set up all the chairs! We had a very specific layout for our reception: easy, they followed our map and set it up without complaint. When we were all partying late into the night on Saturday night, they found ways to work with us so the party didn't have to end. We had our own booze, our own caterer, decorations, everything: they were on board with it all. Their staff was always right on cue, yet never in the way. All of our guests raved about the weekend - how relaxing and memorable it was, how AMAZING the location was, how much they enjoyed the ferry ride over, etc. I seriously can't say enough about Lakedale Resort as a venue for the perfect weekend wedding!

We had our dream wedding at Lakedale! It was a three day event, and we took over the entire resort for that time! We were able to bring in our own food and drinks, and had a local favorite band "The Chameleons" play! The staff at Lakedale never ceased to amaze! They were extremely organized, welcoming, and positive throughout our year of planning and during our special weekend! The setting was perfect for what wanted. All of our guests were able to stay at Lakedale, and there were accommodations for everyone- from camping, to glamping, to lodging, to cabins! Our guests fished, played kickball, biked, and enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of the setting. Lakedale will forever be a special place for our families to visit!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
