The Lakehouse exceeded our expectations

We had our wedding on October 7, 2023 and everyone had a blast! The attention to detail that the staff took while setting up everything was amazing! I saw the room before the guests entered and it took my breath away! It was so beautiful and elegant, I couldn’t have asked for anything more! The food was delicious- we had prime rib and NE chicken. My husband’s grandmother uses a walker which I told Victoria, our event manager, and the staff accommodated to her needs so much so that she said she felt like she was “at a Kennedy wedding” 🥹. Several people have told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I’m so glad we went with The Lakehouse. They catered to the bridal party so attentively and they truly do make your day so special! I am beyond grateful to them!

The Lakehouse

My husband and I had our wedding at The Lakehouse on 9/9/2023. It was a beautiful day and came out perfectly because of our wondering wedding coordinator Victoria!! The staff was excellent and took care of everything! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and staff for our special day!

Wonderful!

We were married on 8.11.23! Victoria and the whole team at Sapphire Group were so amazing on the day of our wedding and the days leading up to it. I had a lot of questions, and they were very responsive each time. We got married at The Lakehouse, and the views were amazing. The food was incredible and people still talk about it! The vibe was calm and their decor has really come along, it went right along with our style. I know they are still renovating, so I am sure it will be even more amazing in the coming years. We wish we could do it all over again! :)
