    Dreamy scenery, delicious food, and attentive staff

    This is a non typical gorgeous wedding venue that is newly remodeled. Since our wedding august 2022 prices have gone up but for the location, natural beauty, and attentive staff this venue was much better than any golf course we looked at (we went to like 10) making it worth the value. George the owner was funny and easy to work with and knows what he’s doing. A HUGE plus of this venue is it comes with a day of coordinator and chivari chairs at no additional cost . On the day of our wedding our day of coordinator had to leave for a funeral (not her fault) and a new day of coordinator came on half way through which was a bit stressful but she took over nicely. The only thing missed was we wanted our new last name to display on the screens once our slide show was over but for that being a minimal issue and the only issue we were more than fine with that. We did the Italian buffet catered from the on-site Briannos and the food was so good we had so many guests tell us how good it was. We did not use their recommended vendors but they do have a large list if you want an all inclusive styles

    Perfect Wedding

    The Chart house hosted both our wedding ceremony and reception and their services from start to finish were amazing. Their private garden area by the lake was peaceful and beautiful. We had perfect weather, were shaded by the trees, and had a lovely (quiet) background of geese families swimming by during our ceremony. The back garden area was also a stunning place for pictures and socializing throughout the evening. Staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was very tasty and they had a great menu to pick from. Kim and Kayla communicated with me throughout the process and went above and beyond to make our wedding special and custom to our style. Along with all of these positives notes the price for a wedding was amazing!! They are not over priced like every other venue in the area. This place is truly a hidden gem and I highly recommend it both for everyday dining and events.

    Beautiful Setting & Wonderful Service

    Planning this wedding was a delight with the Chart House staff, and everything went as we discussed. Great setting for an outdoor wedding and so convenient to move inside for the reception.

    Highlights for us included having a harpist who could play both outdoors and indoors, wonderful setting in the gazebo and near the lake for photos. Dinner was tasty and everyone served promptly. Liked the location of our head table facing all guests and photo booth was a hit.

    Entire day and evening were fun for everyone and no regrets! Thanks to Chart House staff for making this a day to remember.

    Thanks Karen, we miss seeing you at the Chart House. Absolutely beautiful photos of a lovely couple. Come visit us soon.

    Wonderful!

    Chart House offers a beautiful setting for outdoor weddings. The wedding coordinator and all the staff are efficient, personable, flexible and attentive.

    The grounds are perfect for a romantic wedding and the food is delicious. They make provisions for a back-up plan in case of rain. They think of the things you may have forgotten.

    Such a memorable and lovely day. 💕

    Chart House was awesome!!!

    We are so very happy that we picked the Chart House for our daughters wedding and reception/dance! Kayla and Deb were so helpful and guided us through all details. The food was delicious and many of our guests, said it’s one of the nicest weddings they have attended. Beautiful venue, for an outdoor ceremony on the lake. The whole day was perfect!

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Chart House in August 2018. We met with several venues before selecting the Chart House. They were great to work with! They always responded to emails with one business day, they were flexible and allowed us to bring in personal touches to make the day feel like our own. They were accommodating to all of our vendor's requests. Overall they were a great value and we can't thank them enough for helping make our day special.

    The staff and Management at the Charthouse are exceptional! The 50th “Suprise” Birthday Party was seamless from planning the space, going over the menu and drink options, establishing the timeframe and executing the surprise! I can’t thank them enough for an event to remember. The food was incredible and the gorgeous setting unparalleled by any other patio in the metro! Bravo!

    Kayla and Debbie were wonderful to work as we planned the Groom’s dinner from out of state. They had great ideas and were very helpful. The staff the night of our groom’s dinner were attentive and went the extra mile for us. The setting was gorgeous on the patio and we were very happy with the food. We had one concern over charges on our bill and Debbie rectified the error when I brought it to her attention. Only negative thing was there was lots of goose poop in the grass, but we just stayed on the walking stones. I would highly recommend the Chart House!

    Kayla helped us knock my daughter and son-in-laws amazing day out of the park. She was quick to respond to my questions, was very personable and gave ideas that were fantastic. She was organized and offered meal selections that were in our budget as well as items we liked. The venue is stunning and there are so many possibilities. I was only able to add 10 photos to this review however we have so many pictures that are amazing and show all that the Chart House has to offer, even in the pouring rain. We planned for a year to have the ceremony outside and when Mother Nature sent rain our way the Chart House staff were very accommodating and waited for us to make the decision at the very last minute. There were a couple minor little hiccups but it did not take away from the day or our love of this venue and Kayla. If you are looking for a venue that is unique and feels like you are working with family then you should check out the Chart House in Lakeville. Feel free to use my contact information as a reference. I HIGHLY recommend this venue and Kayla!

    This place is incredible! We knew this was going to be a beautiful place for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, but the staff, service, food and overall venue were all above and beyond our expectations! Our guests raved about every detail and we couldn't have been happier. The Chart House wedding planners, Kayla and Debbie, made everything so wonderful and so easy! A bride's dream come true not to have a worry in the world on her big day.

    Everyone loved how efficient the staff was at getting food served. The food was delicious my family still talks about how great it was. Champagne chicken is definitely a favorite. Decorations for ceremony and tables were organized beautifully I couldn't ask for better help making my day special. We will definitely come back to visit. Bravo Charthouse!

    The Chart House was the perfect place for our small wedding reception. Kayla and all the other staff members were very sensitive to all of our requests. My brother and I have Celiac disease and Kayla made sure there would be plenty of gluten free options for us so we could eat safely. Everything was perfect, from the decorations, to the meticulously manicured gardens in the back, to the delicious food....it was wonderful to just sit back and enjoy every moment of this amazing event with our family and close friends. Without a doubt, we would recommend the Chart House for any event!

    The coordinators were excellent to work with shared great suggestions during the planning process. Staff was very accommodating and easy to work with on day of wedding. Guests were very impressed by the beautiful setting (ceremony was outdoors lakeside and reception was outdoors under a tent) and we heard many compliments on the food.

    I thoroughly enjoyed having my wedding and reception at the Chart House. From the scenery, to the food and venue everything was perfect. The gardens offer many beautiful pictures. We had 160 guests the setting still seemed intimate and personal. I received so many compliments about the venue and food. If anybody asks me I would definitely recommend the Chart House to them.

    The Chart House provided excellent care throughout the planning process. They were never pushy for information, yet asked the right questions at the right time. We were able to organize our reception in 5 months largely because of the Chart House's ability to help organize an awesome event! We had the place filled to capacity for the reception, and the Chart House was an awesome host! We HIGHLY recommend using this facility for a wedding reception.

    Wow! Oh Wow! Not only was this stress free but an absolutely gorgeous setting! THis venue is beautiful enough for the whole wedding- though we used it for rehearsal dinner. We were able to use their lanterns and added some personal decor to the fireplace mantel to provide a focal point above the bride and groom. THey calmly helped us with a last hour number change and allowed us to set up during the afternoon. the food was delicious - the guests loved 3 choices and raved about the sea scallops. they helped us with the planning details we needed. THey are the perfect venue- it went perfectly!!!!!

    The Chart House was the perfect venue for our wedding. We did everything there, the pictures, ceremony, and reception. The food was amazing. Our guests kept telling us how great the food was and that they will be going back to the Chart House for dinner. We had our wedding outside at the Chart House and it was beautiful! There were many gorgeous locations outside to take pictures. It was very convenient for our guests. I liked that we didn't need to provide place settings or linens or a caterer. Kayla and Debbie were great to work with and very helpful. All of the staff was accommodating and friendly. It truly was a perfect day and everything went according to plan. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. If I had to do it all over, I would definitely pick the Chart House again.
