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.

We had our consultation with Deanna and loved that everything is included. Also how she takes care of it all. She was very nice and kept my fiancé attention. We have changed our wedding date but are still having it there. Very nice venue. And we're excited to have our wedding there. I give 5/5 for the value and consultation!

Deanna and Doug went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. If you want a stress free day, and wedding planning process this is the place to go. Deanna's attention to detail is amazing. Everything down to our bouquets and boutonnières were absolutely beautiful and everything was better than we imagined it would be. And the food is delicious. Our family and friends still talk about how delicious the food was. We would recommend The Lakes to anyone, and promise you will not be disappointed.

Deanna and her staff were wonderful! She was great to work with and made our wedding perfect. Everything was the way we wanted and they took great care of us and our guests the whole night. She decorated the venue beautifully and even used some of the homemade items we brought it. She booked the dj, cake, catering, and dj for us which made our wedding planning so simple. We were excited at how stress free the experience was and how we were able to really enjoy the wedding and reception because she took care of everything. I tell everyone how wonderful she is and recommend her to everyone I meet who is getting married.

Deanna made our last minute planning easy, and took so much stress off of us, by being prepared and having everything in place. It was a rainy day, but it was a beautiful day for a wedding. The food prepared by she and her staff was awesome. It's a shame we can't have dinner there more often. I loved the venue, and made a great friend by working with Deanna and her staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Lakes is a beautiful venue all year round indoors and outside. 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.
