About

The Lakes is an all inclusive venue located in Kannapolis, NC.


What does all inclusive mean? Well let us tell you… Have you heard terrible stories of brides and all the stress that occurs when planning a wedding? They have to meet with the planner, then book the caterer, then find a venue, then order decorations, then get flowers. Sounds hectic doesn't it? We remove all of this stress from your event. When we say all inclusive we are here to provide all the essentials for the day. We have multiple areas to have your ceremony on our beautifully landscaped grounds. We have an area for the reception as well as a deck for outdoor festivities. We have a dance floor, and seating inside for 150. We do the catering, let you choose your menu and even have servers to work your event. We do the decorating before you arrive for your event, that way there is little stress. We have tons of decorating supplies for the tables, at most you would need to purchase seperately is candles. We make homemade cakes that we can design to your likings. We also can do silk flower bouquets or can get in touch with a florist that we use. We even provide the DJ! All you need to do is fill out a form to tell the DJ what you like.

We like to take the stress off you and take care of all the details. We do not offer packages because we think your wedding or party should be all that you imagined. We customize your day using our own quote sheet. We make it easy to see what each item costs that way you can add or subtract items to make it perfect for your budget!

Wonderful place to have a wedding or any event

My husband and I had our wedding last Saturday on 2/22/2020.
Our wedding planner Mrs. Deanna made my day. When we first met her for the first consultation, she made us feel at home and until the last second of our wedding day, she was there to support us. The venue , the food, the decorations, the flowers, the cake, the DJ, her staff and the personal attention was wonderful. She re-assured us that everything was going to be fine and we trusted her and all my family, guests were very impressed with her professionalism. So if you are going to have any event call her and you will not be disappointed. Her personality, her caring spirit and her love for making people happy will never be be forgotten by us.

Spectacular Surprise Birthday Party

I have been a guest at several weddings at The Lakes and have always enjoyed the events! The gardens, gazebo, and lakes are just beautiful and allow for great photo opportunities. My husband told me he was taking the kids and I out for my birthday but, pulled into The Lakes to meet one of his clients for something. He then told me to run inside someone wants to meet the kids. Surprise, it was a birthday party for me. The food was amazing, I became a little emotional when I saw a three-tier cake, I felt so special. Deanna kept up with me the entire night, always had a big bubbly smile and made sure the evening was perfect for everyone. Every single staff member was smiling and attentive. It was an evening I'll remember forever. Can't wait for the next event at The Lakes.

Our daughter was married at The Lakes a couple of months ago so this review is begin given through a mother's perspective. If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful setting for a garden wedding, The Lakes is the place to go. If you want an outdoor wedding, but need a Plan B in case of uncooperative weather, then please consider The Lakes. Our daughter's ceremony ended up being held (rain-free and air conditioned) indoors, but it was beautiful!!! Sitting inside The Lakes facility, with all of our best friends and family surrounding us, our little Cinderella married her prince. The ceremony was very initimate and beautiful.

The food was absolutely divine........oh my gosh.........the cake was gorgeous and delicious and everything we could have wanted. The flower arrangements were just stunning and so were the bridal bouquets. Most of our guests stayed the whole time and we had a ball. When our daughter & her new husband arrived back in town the next week we talked about how we wished it could have lasted for about two more hours because it was so much fun.

Through out the weekend, following the wedding, my husband and I got quite a few phone calls from our family and friends complimenting the wedding and saying how wonderful the food was and how pretty it was on the inside of the building.

I cannot say enough about Deanna.....she is such a joyful person with a sparkle of creativity that lends itself to event planning. I found her to be a calming force as you know how moms of the bride can get a little hyper. Her suggestions and ideas were wonderful--she is delightful to work with and if we had another daughter getting married we would not hesitate to utilize the services of The Lakes.

If you are getting married, or have a daughter getting married please consider making an appointment with Deanna and taking a trip up to Kannapolis and you will see for yourself how very beautiful The Lakes truly is.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

They are always just great people to work with and a wonderful venue that has plenty of photography opportunities on their beautifully landscaped grounds. My brides that have had their weddings there always falls in love with Deanna the owner. Deanna always blows them away with all of her creative creations and goes beyond the brides wedding expectations. I highly recommend The Lakes for your wedding or any event.
