About

A waterfront view in Bowdon, Georgia, Wood Lakeside Events is an unsuspected quiet setting behind layers of planted pine trees. Through the charming pine trees in this outdoorsy setting, sits a serene lake. If you’re hoping to keep your wedding outdoors and include a waterfront scene, Wood Lakeside Events is a foolproof choice. The lake is just a few steps away from the barn, where you will be saying “I do.” Couples can take in the beautiful water before they dance the night away.

Facilities And Capacity
Overlooking the lake on the dock is the ideal spot for your ceremony. From there, guests can move into the barn for a private and rustic reception. Additionally, there is a bridal suite located within the barn that includes a living room, dressing room, and full bathroom. The bridal suite has its own fully covered deck that overlooks the lake. Bridal parties can enjoy the peaceful water as they get ready for the big day. The Groom’s cabin, also by the lake, includes a kitchenette, full bathroom, dressing room, and living area. When everyone is ready, head out to the dock that sits on the lake for some picturesque moments. Each part of the venue feels as if from a fairytale. The rustic wood accents of the barn, the cabin, and the dock tie it all together. This venue can host up to 250 people.

Services Offered
Wood Lakeside Events can provide lighting, tables, chairs, altars, drapery, linens, centerpieces, aisle runners, and more. The staff is ready to assist you if anything goes wrong, but works to make sure that nothing will. In the chance of rain or bad weather, the ceremony will be moved inside the barn. But if the sun shines again, the staff will work to set up everything in time.

Other Facilities
Wood Lakeside Events offers a host of additional facilities. Those include:

  • Rehearsal Dinner — a special offer
  • Pet friendly
  • Outside vendors
  • Parking

Our Perfect Spot

We chose Wood Lakeside Events after looking at several beautiful venues. It was not overly lavish, but simple and beautiful. A very natural setting. It catered to the groom as much as the bride. Margaret was easy to work with and she put me at ease. We had a health crisis a month before 2020 got turned upside down and she worked with us moving our date twice. We planned for the dock, but rain moved us to the barn and her staff moved everything up there. The photos & website do not do it justice. Go and walk the grounds, see it with your own eyes. There is a peaceful feeling there that photos just can't capture. The Christophers- July 12 2020

My Heros!!!!

I can't say enough about Margaret and her fabulous venue! When I say this place is gorgeous, it is GORGEOUS and AFFORDABLE!!!! TRUST ME WHEN I say this place will not disappoint. We were supposed to get married outside, mother nature decided to make it rain, so it was switched to indoors. And it was BEAUTIFUL! Margaret and her team made it spectacular in no time at all. She is very hands on and best believe she takes care of her brides. If ever you see a movie about wedding and how everything that can go wrong will go wrong? Yea that was my wedding until Margaret and her team of professionals stepped in and SAVED my special day. Margaret is my hero and I will forever love her for what she has done for me. Just ask her to tell my story. Better yet, just talk to her and you will instantly feel confident she is the person you want to work with. Can't say enough GREAT things to say about Margaret or her beautiful venue. Just please check it out. You will not be disappointed!
