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!

We had the best experience booking the pines.

We had the best experience booking the pines. Their customizable packages were easy to fit in our budget. I had the easiest time wedding planning thanks to being able to book a package that was almost all inclusive. All I had to book myself was the officiant and photographer/videographer! Their packages also include a wedding coordinator (Brittany) who was by my side through every step of wedding planning, answered every question I had, and who made sure I had the most smooth wedding weekend. I would highly recommend the pines resort to anyone who values gorgeous scenery for the ceremony and reception backgrounds. You won't regret booking with the pines because they will make wedding planning fun and simple!

A very content Mother of the Bride!

We absolutely cannot say enough about our experience with the entire team at The Pines at Bass Lake …. Absolutely 10++++. From our initial on-site visit with Nick, through every conversation with Brittany in the planning stages, and especially the day of the rehearsal and wedding with planners Brittany, Jennifer and the entire staff. They were kind, patient, and the epitome of professionalism. Every request was accommodated no questions asked. Kudos to the catering staff as all of the food was not just OK “wedding food”, but DELICIOUS! The number of options to choose from was amazing for the rehearsal dinner, appetizers, main courses, and desserts. We received MANY compliments from guests about how delicious the food was!!!! We did learn, after the event, about unprofessional behavior from a bartender with regard to tipping. When this was brought to the attention of the wedding planners, it was immediately elevated up to management and handled in a manner beyond our expectations. This only furthered our respect for this team. They heard our only grievance and dealt with it swiftly and appropriately. The day was perfect for my daughter, our family, and all of our guests. It exceeded all expectations. If you are considering having your wedding at The Pines, don’t waste any time, BOOK IT! The natural beauty cannot be beat and the people you will work with are THE BEST!!!

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
