Dream wedding venue

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Candlewood Inn and their team. Simply put our day was perfection. Krista and her team made sure everything was as we wanted it and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendants Mary and Leslie were the true fairy godmothers of the day making sure myself (the bride) and the rest of our bridal party had everything they needed at all time. The communication throughout the process coming up to the wedding and on the day was absolutely flawless. We felt truly cared for which can be hard to find with the amount of weddings that are done. The venue itself was beautiful, you cant quite beat the views on that lake, and so that alone makes it so special. The food was spectacular, us and our guests could not get over how delicious everything was. The staff throughout the night was so professional and kind, and made sure our guests were cared for as well. We loved having the time alone right after the ceremony with all of the appetizers we had picked just to have a bite to eat and take a moment to reflect on being married! It was so special and I attribute that to the work the Candlewood team put in. I would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone that just wants a beautifully run day. I already cant wait for one of our friends to get married here too!

The perfect venue for our special day!

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and so much of that is thanks to The Candlewood Inn and their amazing team! Krista, the event manager, was truly outstanding from day one! From the planning process to the big day, she made everything so seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor were such a comfort, and she made sure every moment went off without a hitch.
The staff at Candlewood was phenomenal—so polite, attentive, and professional. They were always on point, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. And the food? Absolutely DELICIOUS! Our guests are still raving about it. I have a food allergy, and they were so accommodating, making sure everything was safe for me to eat!
The venue itself was stunning, especially the beautiful lake view, which created the most breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and photos. It added so much to the magic of the day! We are beyond grateful for the team at Candlewood Inn and the perfect day they helped us create!
