We could not be happier that we chose The Lodge for our ceremony and reception! Meghan was amazing to work with from day one. If there was something we didn't think of, she thought of it. Nothing was overlooked. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch! We even had our own server (Emily, who was amazing!) assigned to my husband and me to make sure we never went without food or drink while we were busy running around with photos and the other things that keep pulling a bride and groom away. We can't say enough good things about The Lodge. It was obvious that making our special day perfect was as important to them as it was to us. - Renée & Mark 9/17/17

Wonderful Experience

Joelle was a very responsive and detail oriented coordinator. The staff at this venue have been there for many years and know how to throw an event! The space is gorgeous and allows for lighter decor. There are so many picturesque spots on the grounds for photos. The food was amazing and all of the guests raved about the passed hour devours and plated dinner. The in-house DJ kept the day running smoothly and there was no awkward downtime. Our wedding day went perfectly at The Lodge and we can’t recommend this venue enough!

Amazing Venue and Team

We absolutely LOVED the Lodge. The Venue is beautiful and unique and the staff is professional and experienced. Joelle (coordinator) and her team were amazing, they were on top of every single detail and helped make the day perfect. So many of our guests commented on the venue, how good the food was, etc., and that is not all that common in the wedding business. Would 100% recommend to any and everyone
