Best Venue Ever!

If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further and book the Pines Resort ASAP.

Having kids and living far away, I booked the Pines Resort solely off pictures and videos online and the communication I had with their previous coordinator, Jessica and I am so happy with my decision. The Pines Resort is the most beautiful backdrop for your wedding venue, we had our ceremony on the lakefront lawn and ceremony in the lakefront tent. We booked the venue a little over 1.5 years in advance, pre-COVID. The Pines Resort offers a wide variety of packages for many different price points, and overall I was attracted to the Pines Resort based off their reasonable pricing, beautiful scenery, and amazing Wedding Team staff.

After the previous wedding coordinator left about 6 months before my wedding, I was nervous. However, their new wedding coordinator, Randi, is quite possibly the best person I have ever worked with and was so easy to work with. From the moment she took over, she was super hands on and so responsive, emailed back right away and hopped on a phone call to answer any questions I had (being a covid bride, this happened frequently). And then throughout the entire planning process she was so available, she never made me feel dumb for any of my questions, and made great recommendations about everything. She was so kind and knowledgable and easy to work with. Randi also took care of reserving our space for our rehearsal dinner and day after breakfast.

Randi and her assistant were a dream on our wedding day, coming to our room whenever we had questions. They made the day seamless and ran perfect. All of our guests kept telling me I was the calmest bride, and I give most of the credit to Randi and the fact that I planned my wedding for 1.5 years. Also, when Randi noticed my son did not have a boutonniere (the florist said he was too young for one since he is 2), she went and picked a flower and made him one. The service she provided was above and beyond.

The food was so delicious! All our guests were raving how it was the best wedding food they ever had. We chose the BBQ Buffet, however, due to COVID it was platted and guests were able to ask for additional plates.

Randi and her whole team will seriously make you feel so relaxed. Our wedding was everything we could had dreamed and more, and it's all thanks to The Pines and their team. The team even cleaned up all the decorations we brought and put in a location so we didn’t have to worry about cleaning it all up on our wedding night. Not only is the Pines Resort the most amazingly beautiful venue, they really take care of you. You won’t regret booking the Pines Resort as your wedding venue!

Wedding 8/19/23

The Pines and their staff made our wedding so incredibly beautiful and took all the stress away from us so we could really enjoy the day. They were very accommodating with requests and helped coordinate all the vendors so we weren’t fielding questions on the day of/days leading up to our wedding. Our guests all commented on the delicious food and great service as well as the convenience of having everything in one location. We are so grateful to everyone at the Pines for helping make our day so perfect. Would highly recommend to any couple who wants a stress free planning and wedding day!

Better than we could have dreamed!

We got married at The Pines in May 2023. Nick, Brittany, and Randi were fantastic to work with. They communicated with us regularly by phone and text throughout the planning process. They helped me to find my vendors and to plan each piece of the day. The whole team was very flexible and worked extremely hard the day of the rehearsal and day of the wedding to help us have a wonderful time. The wedding was better than we could ever have dreamed-- we will have wonderful memories for decades to come!

I always love shooting at The Pines Resort, but one things that sticks out THE MOST about this venue is that my couples CANNOT STOP RAVING about the amazing service they receive here! I was so impressed this summer as I watched my couples pampered.. from doing portraits by the lake and having champagne, water and snacks brought down to constant but non-intrusive attention throughout the ceremony, I am THOROUGHLY impressed. If you are looking for a stunningly gorgeous location for photography backdrops and an amazingly attentive staff, look no further! You cannot go wrong with The Pines! <3
