I had my wedding here on September 1st and couldn’t have asked for a better day! The venue coordinator, Candice, was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning. She was very quick to respond to any questions I had and was very helpful and so was the staff the day of the wedding. They set up all the decorations I had and took them down at the end of the night. All I had to do was pick them up the next day. This venue offers the gorgeous backdrop of the lake which is great for pictures and sunsets. It’s such a beautiful outdoor setting for a ceremony, with the large gazebo, that it requires no outdoor decorations. The reception space upstairs looks out over the water with your own private balcony and is a very elegant space. To top off this unique venue, the food is delicious! Everything we tried was amazing and everyone told us the signature drinks we offered during cocktail hour were the best! You can’t go wrong with choosing the Lighthouse Restaurant as your wedding venue! Highly recommend it to everyone!

Our wedding at The Lighthouse was better than we ever imagined! We got married in March so did the ceremony indoors as well. Candice is great with the planning process and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding!!
