    Can't speak more highly!!

    Working with Sara and Cristi was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding! They are such great people to work with! Not to mention that the venue is gorgeous! They will really go above and beyond to make sure the day is beyond perfect. Couldn't recommend this venue enough!

    Stunning location

    Everything about my wedding was perfect. Cristi Johnson really blew me away with the whole day. The location is breathtaking and I couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful wedding space.

    Wedding at Iola Lakeside

    Truly a beautiful and memorable experience. My husband and I loved working with every member from this venue who created such a beautiful day for us. Every detail was attended to and each person from within the package took their role personal and made us feel like we were a part of the family. The entire process from consultation to day of was handled very seriously and as a detail orientated person I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. I highly recommend choosing this venue!

    Amazingly flawless

    Sarah, Angela and Cristie were beyond amazing... Im sorry I didnt catch the names of the men on staff, they were all amazing also. There was a torrential down pour minutes before the wedding and the team seamlessly and flawlessly moved the ceremony inside (before it rained). Everyone's attention to detail was superb! You could really see and feel the love and warmth coming from the heart's of EACH staff member. I would DEFINITELY recommend this venue!! Thank you guys for an unforgettable wedding ❤❤❤

    Where do I start? I find it hard to put into words how wonderful the people who own this venue truly are. I gave them five stars because I don't think you could have a better experience anywhere else. I found Iola Lakeside events for my wedding and then I recommended them to my friend who was married there on 2-17-18 (my wedding is not until November 2018) My friend is very sick and planned her wedding while undergoing radiation treatments. She planned it about 2 months so there were a few things we didn't think of. Sara was there every step of the way to help with the finishing touches. She help wherever she was needed and truly helped fulfill the wishes of my friend, the beautiful bride. The entire family was amazing to work with. They are Godly and kind. I cannot wait for my own wedding here.

    Hinrichs Wedding

    Our wedding at Iola Lakeside was even more perfect than we could of imagined. Sara was always quick to reply and offered wonderful different options for packages and pricing that fit for our head count and budget. Sara and her family were so attentive on our big day with every wish and detail we had. From helping with set up to wiping down chairs numerous times when we had a little sprinkle before walking down the aisle, we felt so comfortable knowing our guests were in such great hands. We could not of asked for a better wedding day and we would highly recommend this venue for any wedding, party or event you are planning; you will not be disappointed!

    Excellent!!

    Sara and her family were awesome. The venue is beautiful. They opened their homes up to us so that it would be easier for the bride and groom to get ready. Words can not express how much we appreciated Sara and her family!!!

    Dream Wedding

    Andrew and I got married on 6th October and the entire process was easy from first view of the property until the day of!
    This was the 3rd venue we looked at and this was by far the best service and price!
    Sara was extremely friendly and welcoming and helped us with decor and organising the day!
    The day-of coordinator also did a good job making sure the entire event ran smoothly.
    They set up the entire ceremony and reception seating arrangements, and even provided additional decor for us such as swings and a bon fire. We highly recommend Iola Lakeside Events!

    I can not say enough good things about this venue to do it justice. We held our wedding there April 6th 2018 , and it was absolutely amazing, Sarah went above and beyond for my wedding and myself. All my guests raved about how beautiful it was and how much they loved the venue! Definitely recommend for any bride!

    This venue was beyond my expectations! Sara and her family went above and beyond to accommodate any idea I had and provided way more than I ever would have thought of being a first time bride. Any questions were promptly answered and they were there every step of the way to help out. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day and I would recommend the venue to everyone! The property is beautiful right on the lake and the set up in the barn is just perfect! Perfect for any type of wedding it is that you’re wanting. Again I can rave enough about them!!!

    I had such a wonderful experience at Iola Lakeside Events for my recent October wedding (ceremony & reception). The view of the lake, all the greenery surrounding the venue, the barn, and the venue's decor were exactly what we were looking for for our rustic wedding. Sara was extremely supportive, flexible, and enthusiastic in helping us for our special day. I highly recommend this venue to future brides!

    My sister just had a wedding here and it was amazing! The venue is a beautiful rustic barn type space with a stunning view of the lake right outside the barn doors. The owners are a joy to work with and were so available the whole duration of the event in case we needed anything. One thing I would suggest if doing a Florida summer or spring wedding/event here would be to invest in the air conditioning unit but the ideas are endless when it comes to the space! I’d recommend checking it out 100%! :)
