Sugar Lake Lodge

I need to start off by saying that Sugar Lake Lodge gave my husband and I the absolute wedding of our dreams! It is exactly 3 months later and I am still wrapping my head around how unbelievably beautiful and perfect everything was for us! My husband and I were engaged on October 31, 2021 and by November 1st we had a stack of 10 venues to look at. Sugar Lake stood out to us the most and it was the first one we wanted to see! By November 6th, only 6 days after our engagement, and one venue visit we were booked with Sugar Lake! It was the best decision we could have ever made! When we sat down with Nadine and Steve after touring the venue we just knew immediately it was it for us. Other options were not even a thought after stepping foot on Sugar Lake. Nadine, the event planner, is so unbelievably creative and took our vision to heart and made it a true reality. She was attentive and patient and always supportive and understanding of our needs. She told us on the first day that she wanted us to experience as little stress as possible and that she would make our day so special. We took a leap and trusted her completely and my goodness she did not disappoint! It is so evident that she puts her everything into her work and wholeheartedly means it. My husband and I had no doubts in her abilities and were so pleased with what she did for us! Her and her assistants were meticulous in their work and truly, the amount of compliments we received from guests was astounding! It’s one thing to love everything yourselves but for it to be 3 months later and your guests are still talking about it says something.

I think it’s important for every bride to know that Nadine genuinely wants you both to be as stress free as possible. I loved how the packaging was set up and so many things were taken care of! Even down to their preferred vendors who also did amazing work for us! Looking back I really do not think I could have made my wedding exactly how I wanted without Nadine’s help. No way between work and life could it have been done for me. I am so beyond grateful my husband found Sugar Lake and we were blessed with such a wonderful experience all around. If you’re looking for as little stress as possible, Sugar Lake is the way to go! I think it’s important to know that I struggle with anxiety in general and Nadine honestly put me so much at ease and that is so important to me.

My Husband and I also had the pleasure of having Steve, the owner, as our officiant. Steve did a wonderful job and really was able to personalize the ceremony for us which was so special and meaningful to us! Steve also helped coordinate the day and was there whenever you needed him. Steve and Nadine make such an incredible team!

It truly took me so long to write this review partly because of my hectic life schedule but also because I wanted to make sure I could convey everything in writing that I wanted to. And honestly as I sit here and do this, I’m finding I still can’t finds the words to do our experience justice.

For most, your wedding day is one of the most momentous days of your life. We all have dreams of what it will look like and have high hopes for the absolute best. To make it simple, Our wedding on November 5, 2022 was above and beyond what we have ever dreamed it could be. Our hopes and expectations were more than met and we were truly blown out of the water. We will forever look back fondly on this day and be so unbelievably grateful for Nadine & Steve.

First of all this venue is amazingly beautiful, both inside and out. We knew immediately at the first tour that this is where we wanted to be. This place has character and style. Between the gorgeous lodge and stunning grounds there is no shortage of places for whatever ceremony and/or reception you had in mind.
Nadine was an absolute joy to work with and we are so glad we added her services as coordinator on to our package. She and her assistant made the day seamless. Everything from set up, to coordinating vendors, to the clean up was completely taken care of.
We had originally planned a ceremony by the lake with reception inside the lodge to follow. The weather was not cooperative as it had been raining the previous 24 hours. Nadine and her team let me wait until the last possible minute to make the decision to move the ceremony inside. They did such a flawless job of decorating and setting up the side room you never would have know it wasn't the plan all along.
The bridal suite is stunning. We did not take advantage of staying overnight but it was a fabulous room for me and my girls to get ready in.
I can't praise this venue and staff enough for how well they helped us have a fantastic wedding.
