The Crooked Lake House

BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER! My husband, family, friends, and I all absolutely love Old Daley on Crooked Lake. We had our wedding here on Sunday, August 10 2025, and the team at Old Daley made the entire day, and wedding planning process, a breeze. Personally, as the bride, I was able to feel fully present and enjoy the entire day because of the team at Old Daley on Crooked Lake.

Our wedding planner, Kate, was incredible! From the start of the planning process to our wedding day, Kate was helpful, communicative, and an absolute expert. She helped with every step of the process, and used her expertise to advise how to make our special day exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't have done it without her! On the day of, Nancy, was the best captain, and was there for us and provided impeccable service from sunrise (6:30 a.m.) to sunset (12:00 a.m.) and the day after for pickup!

We received so many compliments from our family, friends, and guests on their experience at our wedding. The team at Old Daley assured everything was organized, clean, and seamless. The food during the tasting and on our wedding day was all amazing, and we can't wait to go back for winter dining!

We are SO happy we chose Old Daley on Crooked Lake for our wedding! If you want a venue you can absolutely trust with everything, we recommend you choose Old Daley on Crooked Lake for your day.

Old Daley on Crooked Lake exceeded every expectation we had, and we had high ones. From the moment you arrive, the venue speaks for itself, the waterfront ceremony set against a stunning sunset was an absolutely perfect backdrop for our vows, and the rustic, homey interior gave us a warm and intimate feel even with 220+ guests. The space is gorgeous and needed minimal decoration because it already has so much natural charm.

The food and bar service were excellent, and the staff were warm, attentive, and professional throughout the entire night. But what truly made the difference was our day-of coordinator, Nick. He communicated with us clearly and consistently in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and on the day itself he was everywhere he needed to be, always one step ahead, coordinating seamlessly with all of our vendors, and making sure everything ran on a tight, stress-free timeline. He checked in on us regularly without ever being intrusive, and he truly felt like an advocate for us every step of the way.

Because of Nick and the entire Old Daley team, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy every moment of our wedding day. We couldn't imagine a more perfect venue!

Old Daley Hospitality was the perfect venue for our wedding. You’re not just booking a venue, but a whole team. The hospitality group provided so much support, not only the day of the wedding, but leading up to, as well.

The venue’s coordinator, Nick, was there for us every step of the way. He was so easy and flexible to work with. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day. We were there from 8 am to 11 pm; the venue can really handle it all!

The food was spectacular! All our guests were raving about it and the amount of it. They gave an excellent hospitality group. If you book this venue, you are in good hands.

Old Daley on Crooked Lake has surpassed all expectations!! The beauty this venue has to offer is absolutely breathtaking!! From the bridal suits and groom room to the Oak room, Great room and obviously the Ball room! Each room has such character and charm!!

Old Daley is such a picture perfect place to have a wedding!! We got ready and had our reception here with an off site church ceremony. They've really got everything down to a science to make things run smoothly and also have a unique and personalized experience. Our day of coordinator Nick was above and beyond helpful and knowledgeable!! It is a beautiful spacious location that met all of our needs and wants. The catering is top notch!!! So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. From cocktail hour to the reception the food was outstanding!!! Cannot recommend enough having your wedding here!!

Old Daley on Crooked Lake was the best wedding venue I could ever imagine. Every detail and every inch of the space is absolutely gorgeous. The entire staff—and our especially wedding planner, Kate—were absolutely amazing. They made all of my dreams come true, and I truly could not imagine getting married anywhere else. The views were stunning both inside and out. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive to every need. There’s a reason they’ve been hosting weddings for so long—they truly know how to put on an unforgettable celebration. They thought of every detail and helped make the night magical. It was an experience my husband, our family, our friends, and I will never stop talking about.

We had our wedding on 7/19/25 at the Old Daley on Crooked Lake. To say the experience was 10/10 is an understatement. Having it at the Old Daley was the best decision we made! Our initial meeting with Jan made us feel confident that the venue staff and coordinators would have everything under control on our wedding day. And obviously, the entire space is STUNNING!
Nick was assigned as our day of coordinator and we couldn't have even happier with his knowledge, attention to detail, professionalism and excellent customer service. I had a vision for our day and Nick helped me bring that vision to life. He answered any and ALL (there were a lot) of the questions we had and made sure that we were well-informed on decisions we made. I was a type a bride and all of my needs / wants were not only met but exceeded throughout the entire process. Nick has an impressive amount of experience and knowledge and has the perfect personality for his job. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of stress for the couple and having his support and guidance was so appreciated!
There are a few things that set this venue a part from the rest. 1: The aesthetic: it's historical charm makes it unique and can be seen throughout the space. You really can create whatever vibe you'd like. We opted for a black tie occasion decorated in black and white with lots of white roses and hydrangeas. We also chose it because the indoor ceremony space is just as beautiful as the outdoor. We knew that having our wedding in upstate, NY, we needed a plan b for the ceremony because of weather. At most venues, the indoor is not as nice as the outdoor but that is not the case here. There are also so many amazing spaces to get photos: outside by the lake, in front of the building, next to the flowers/greenery, the Oak Room, and so many more! 2: The food: once we had our tasting, we knew the food was second to none. There were so many options to choose from. On our day, we had an abundance of hors d'oeuvres, a grazing table and a southern station for cocktail hour. Both us and our guests were beyond impressed with the selection and taste. The plated dinner was superb (we had guests tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had!) and our cake/desserts were outstanding. One thing is for sure, if you have your wedding here, no one will leave hungry! 3: The customer service: it is unlike anywhere else we toured. You get a family owned feeling as soon as you walk through the door. Jan sat down with us and answered all questions we had before booking. She made us feel like she really cared and understood the investment of a wedding. She also knew that we had never planned a wedding before so she took the time to walk through each detail. The day of coordinator is part of the package which is something you do not get most places. As I mentioned, Nick was amazing and went above and beyond. We also want to shout out Hannah who was our attendant for the wedding day (also an amazing touch you don't get most places) she went above and beyond to make sure that both us and our wedding party had everything we needed / wanted throughout the day.
We would absolutely recommend the Old Daley on Crooked Lake to anyone!
Thank you to Jan, Nick, Hannah and the team for making the most important day of our lives everything we dreamed of and more!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Old Daley on Crooked Lake, and we can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue and the amazing team behind it.

First of all, the location is absolutely breathtaking. The ceremony was held by the lake, with the serene water and lush green surroundings creating the perfect natural backdrop. The setup, complete with a stunning blue floral arch and a beautiful floral-lined aisle, felt like something out of a fairytale (see the photo for reference!).

Our guests traveled from places like Buffalo, Indiana, and Los Angeles, and every single one of them was blown away by the beauty of the venue and the peaceful, romantic atmosphere.

We want to give a very special shoutout to Nick, our wedding coordinator, who was simply fantastic. He was so helpful, calm, and detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly because of his efforts, and we felt completely supported the whole time.

We’re also incredibly thankful to Janice, the manager, and the rest of the Old Daley team. Everyone was kind, professional, and so easy to work with. They truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

And we have to talk about the food—super duper delicious! The beef steak especially was unforgettable—many of our guests said it was the best steak they’ve ever had. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and served with care.

Thank you, Old Daley on Crooked Lake, for giving us the most beautiful and unforgettable day of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a gorgeous setting, exceptional service, and truly delicious food.

With love and gratitude,

Our wedding venue exceeded every expectation and made our special day absolutely perfect! The staff was incredibly professional and accommodating, making sure every detail was taken care of. Janice was incredibly helpful in helping us with the initial details, and Nick was an essential part to our day and did an incredible job making our day perfect! Because of Nick and the team at Old Daley, the day was effortless. They worked with our wedding planner and vendors seamlessly, ensuring the day went off without a hitch.

On our wedding day, the venue was transformed into something out of a dream, with stunning views, gorgeous lighting, and every little touch thoughtfully executed. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to celebrate here.

We had the most amazing wedding day thanks to the staff at Old Daley, especially our wedding planner, Nick. Communication was excellent before, during, and after our wedding. Any questions or concerns that we had, Nick answered them quickly and helped put our minds at ease. He and the rest of the staff were on top of everything the day of our wedding. They brought our vision to life with their beautiful decorating. The food was outstanding and everyone had an amazing time. This was hands down the best experience we have ever had. We absolutely recommend this beautiful venue for your wedding.
