Wolf Lakes Parks, Inc. Reviews

We hosted our wedding at Wolf Lakes Park and it was fantastic. During our planning process we must have toured over 50 venues. Of all those we chose Wolf Lakes Park -- and it didn't disappoint. The setting, the details, the food, the professionalism, the value -- all were there in spades. The day-of coordinator Rebecca and her team were extremely helpful, arranging our ceremony and coordinating the schedule and vendors. The food was delicious, with thoughtful accommodations for our gluten-free and vegetarian guests (some of our guests said this was the best pasta they'd had). Their list of vendors helped us greatly in the planning process. And on the day there were plenty of staff, including security and servers, to make sure everything went smoothly. The extras -- like the complementary boat rides, were a great add-on for our guests. There were no troubles accommodating the few things we decided to add: a photo booth, some lawn games. The venue itself looked spectacular, with the flowers in full bloom. The open house in April was extremely helpful in making our decisions on food and linens, and all throughout the planning process Janice and her team were responsive and helpful. After having seen many different venues, with varied offerings, we thought the value was hard to beat. We really couldn't have asked for more in a venue, and we would highly recommend it to anyone planning an event in future.

Thank you Wolf Lakes for helping me live out my fairytale wedding . Wolf lakes is a very beautiful place and the stuff was really nice treated us like royalty. Amazing 🤩 Amazing place . I couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to host our wedding.

Wolf Lakes was my dream venue for our wedding and they did not disappoint! Everything was just so beautiful! Wolf Lakes does a great job keeping up the property and helping their couples vision come to life.
Janice was always helpful with any questions I had during the planning process. I highly suggest using their preferred vendors list. It really helped me plan our event.
Alex was our coordinator for the day of and she was really helpful for keeping the ceremony on track and asking our preferences. Rebecca also helped us and helped to keep our flower girl entertained before the walk down the aisle.
The food was great! Everyone loved the tri tip and coconut shrimp.
The bride and groom getting ready rooms were spacious and nice as well.

Great place! Cannot say enough about how effortless they made our wedding! From the booking of the facility, their staff, food, organization, and accommodating aspects they give to you as bride and groom as well as your guests. Would highly recommend this place 100%!!

Everything about this venue is amazing! They made everything so easy and even with COVID-19 they made all of my dreams comes true for my big day! The venue is absolutely beautiful! The staff is so amazing and they were so helpful with everything! They made my wedding day perfect! I would highly recommend them!

Wolf Lakes is not only the most beautiful venue around... it’s also the most stress free venue around! Their staff takes care of everything. All the tiny little details that make or break your day are handled seamlessly by wolf lakes staff. Their day of coordinator saved me countless times. She is such a sweetheart!! I can’t say enough good things about this place! I wish I could relive that day over and over.

Wolf lakes was incredible! They put us and our guests first! Our day of coordinator did everything to bring our day together and treat us like a king and queen! It was the most perfect day ever because of wolf lakes! I had nothing to worry about!

Wolf Lakes Park made our wedding day so perfect and magical. I was slightly concerned to be the first wedding of their wedding season, but they hit the ground running and did a fantastic job. Elise and her assistant were so on top of keeping everything flowing, ensuring nobody came to me with any problems, and with getting us drinks and food at the head table. They were awesome at checking in with my husband and I, and seamless when it came to coordinating the vendors. The chef was awesome. I don’t eat much when I’m stressed, so I requested pasta for just myself (because I can always eat pasta!). They were so accommodating, and even brought me out a plate of our wedding food in addition to my delicious pasta so I could still try it (seriously, the food here was SO GOOD. I can’t even count how many complements we got from our guests about the food. We got the apricot chicken and tritip, and for appetizers got the coconut shrimp (OMG. It was worth paying extra to make that into an appetizer), their HOMEMADE cheese, and shrimp and artichoke dip. No regrets about the food whatsoever.) The best part was my mom needed to make her famous brownies for our wedding, our oven ended up falling through, and the chef and staff very kindly allowed her to make her brownies in their kitchen. They went seriously above and beyond. My only downside was I didn’t get to try our food before the wedding because they have a big open house once a year for that, and it was the weekend before our wedding and we had another wedding to go to. My parents went, raved about the food, and it was reassuring that since the food was mass produced at the open house that they would be good at mass producing food at a wedding (and they were!). I was blown away by the professionalism, kindness, experience, and awesomeness that Wolf Lakes put into our day!

Wolf lakes park made all our outdoor garden dreams come true! The venue is beautiful and blooming, and the staff there was amazing at making our guests have the best experience. The food and selection of food choices was so amazing, it was hard to pick our menu because everything tasted so great! Total dream venue and worth every penny!

Our wedding was May 31, 2019. This venue was amazing. The staff were SO helpful. They always answered all my emails and phone calls. The food was spectacular. There were some hiccups during the wedding with some decorations falling, and they took the decorations and hot glued them and fixed them without me knowing and took care of everything. It was honestly the best experience we could've asked for. Their vendor list is so helpful. Everyone was asking me who my vendors were and commenting on how awesome they were. I think the best part was that I left my shoes, purse, bouquet, and my leftover cake at the wedding venue that night on accident. The Wolf Lakes staff locked my purse up, and they put my leftovers and bouquet in the fridge so it wouldn't wilt. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the park had another event in the Feedlot. My event was Gardenside, so they are right next to each other. The people in the Feedlot were standing right on the other side of my ceremony area and talking really loudly during my ceremony. I'm not sure if the staff didn't know, but it was really annoying and it would've been nice if someone was standing out there to tell them not to talk. So my brother-in-law went out there and told them to stop talking. Other than that, it was PERFECT!

My name is Aubrey and I am the Co Owner and Wedding specialist at A Secret Garden Florist in Clovis California. Ever since I began with the shop, Wolf Lakes has been my favorite Venue. That was back when the white Gazebo was on Lakeside.....and so to see it evolve into the INCREDIBLE atmosphere that is now. Everytime I set up a wedding I notice something different or improved upon. The staff is amazing and the grounds are spotless. This is the Venue of your dreams!!!

The location, staff and service are beyond compare. My daughter was married on 3/16/19 in the Garden Venue. It was incredible. The Wolf Lakes staff leading up to and during the wedding were professional, knowledgeable and beyond accommodating. I felt like every conversation was about making my daughters (and mine) requests into reality. The site is simply breathtaking, and as the sun sets and the lights go on, it screams romance. I feel like i could go on and on, but there are not enough compliments for how i feel about this venue and staff. The food was fantastic. Almost every guest i spoke with raved about it. Every interaction with the staff was wonderful They were friendly, smiling and helpful. From the planning, to the rehearsal to the wedding its self, I felt like Janice, Elise and Jordan were there to listen, advise and ensure all was done to perfection! Thank you! Kathryn

The beauty of this venue is overwhelming. It's the perfect place to have an outdoor wedding and reception. Most venues charge you a venue fee but this one doesn't. Price is very reasonable and variety of food selection is good. The only downside is the venue closes at 11:30 p.m. so if you're not ready to call it a night, you'll need to make plans to continue the party elsewhere. It's about 15 minutes from Fresno so your guests can definitely find things to do over the weekend.

From start to finish they have everything well coordinated. Answered my questions prior to actually asking them. Very kind and helpful!

This venue was everything we were looking for. We wanted a venue that provided natural elegance and ambiance, as well as a venue that included catering, beer/wine, and indoor/outdoor options. Wolf Lakes was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the planning process from start to finish. Our only issue was that you had to use their preferred DJ vendors, which was unfortunate that we had to choose either our favorite venue or our favorite DJ. Overall, it was a great experience with affordable prices and exactly what we were looking for.

My husband and I had the best experience! The crew was the best, food was amazing, and the family who owns Wolf Lake become like family. The day of my wedding we got thunder, lightning, hail, and rain and the crew was so calm, you wouldn’t have thought otherwise. They had a plan B and the plan B turned out better than what I had imagined plan A turning out. I could go on and on about a Wolf Lakes. Our day was PERFECT!

We have nothing negative to say about Wolf Lakes Park. We had our wedding here on April 21, 2018 and we could have not asked for a more perfect day. We loved everything the lake, the gardens, the flowers, the staff, the food and so much more. The staff was amazing from the moment we booked until the last personal item was picked up the night of. Our guest have nothing but positive comments. Everyone loved the appetizers! Dinner was great as well. We had our wedding reception on the Garden side and every part of it makes an amazing background for photos. The pontoon boat rides were a hit for both the kids and adults. This place is beyond perfect in every way.

Absolutely beautiful! Everything was amazing the food, the staff, the boat rides, the coordinator and the owners! The staff was always there helping us out asking us if we need anything it was just amazing! If I could do my wedding again I would come here every time! They are amazing!

Dont waste your time looking at any other venue, this place does and has it all. Very easy to work with and the food is outstanding!!!

Love love love!! 7/7/17 was our wedding date on the lakeside!! From day one we were treated amazing we couldn't have picked a better place to get married!! Will always remember wolf lakes!! Thank you to the staff and all for everything!!

A beautiful place to get married . It's a Must !!

Beautiful place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had the best time! The staff is amazing and super helpful! The venue was absolutely beautiful! Even though it was raining for our ceremony and had to be moved from the garden into the reception area, everything went so smooth. We didn't hear any complaints from any of our guests. They were all amazed at how well the staff worked together and accommodated everyone. Dinner and appetizers were to die for! Thank you all for making our wedding day perfect!

Wolf Lakes is an absolutely gorgeous venue! The staff is so wonderful and helpful, they really made our big day so special and relaxing, they took care of everything! The food is stellar and the grounds are immaculate! Such a great experience!

Wolf Lakes was amazing. Best overall experience you can get at an incredible value. Family owned and operated, it really feels like they care for each wedding couple. Thank you Wolf Lakes!

Most beautiful place I have ever seen!!! Everything about this venue was absolutely perfect! The staff is incredible and they have the best food I've ever had, especially at a wedding. They were very helpful with all of my questions and responded very quickly to all of my emails. Was a little hesitant about the fact that two events could be going on at the same time, but the venue is perfectly set up so there is no interference and I never felt like we had to look for anybody for help on the big day. They were all super attentive and extremely helpful. It's a little pricier than some of the other venues around the valley, but absolutely hands down well worth it!!!! AMAZING!!!

Absolutely loved our venue! It was amazing and couldnt ask for a better outside wedding!

Great site with lots of natural beauty. Staff was friendly.

Fabulous venue. Gorgeous grounds, wonderful food and easy to work with!

Just perfect!!!!!! If you don't want to have to worry on your big day if everything will go smoothly then have your wedding at wolf lakes! Their staff is amazing and they are so well experienced! The day ran beautifully without a hitch!


Thank you wolf lakes for the most amazing day!

Wolf Lakes Parks is a great place to get married. From the views (Lakeside), to the staff, you cannot go wrong.They take care of you before the event and during. I never felt worried because they truly were always professional and took care of everything. I highly recommend them as a venue.

This place was so beautiful and affordable. The food was amazing and the staff was remarkable. It was so stress free, I couldn't believe it.

Perfect venue! Beautiful area! Professional and very nice!

Wolf Lakes Park was a wonderful! We are so glad we had our wedding there. We looked at probably 10 other venues and still came back to Wolf Lakes because their quality and service were amazing! Not to mention, the scenery was breathtaking and the day of our wedding was gorgeous! Everyone worked together so well to make our day beautiful! Elise and Ryan were especially helpful and amazing!! Thank you Wolf Lakes, we loved everything!!! Don't let the price stop you, we calculated and Wolf Lakes really does provide the most bang for your buck!!!

Just got married at wolf lakes park! And it was beautiful. Place was really clean, hostess and workers where very nice. My husband and I loved every moment we where there. They do boat rides for guest and that was a HIT! All my guest loved the venue and couldn't stop raving how good appetizers and dinner was. Im so glad I had Wolf lakes as my venue :)

Planning a wedding for our daughter and not being from the area was challenging. But as soon as we met and spoke with several family members and staff from Wolf Lakes, we knew how fortunate we were to have found them. They personalized our wedding in many ways due to date and time constraints we had. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The lakeside reception areas are so beautiful, along with the lush landscaping and unique ironwork throughout the gardens. The food was so good! We got so many compliments from our family and friends. Thank you so much to the family and staff at Wolf Lakes for helping make the day so beautiful.

Best and most beautiful place to get married in the Fresno/Clovis area. Probably on the higher priced scale but worth every penny! Great food, friendly staff many amenities included! Thank you for making our day go off without a hitch!!

The ceremony and reception site were BEAUTIFUL! It actually cut the cost of our flower budget since we didn't need extra decorations. Also, the staff took care of everything on the wedding day. The food was delicious! We're STILL getting compliments on how beautiful our wedding was.

I don't have any complaints at all! My wedding was so magical and amazing. Worth every cent!! They were so accommodating, there for me with whatever I needed, even when I didn't know I needed something. The setting was gorgeous, I have already viewed my some of the photographs and they are magical!! I am so impressed with the staff, the food, the area, EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! Couldn't have asked for anything better!!
I was not at any moment, stressed about ANYTHING, and that was strictly because they were there to take care of every issue before it got to me!!

The staff at Wolf Lakes Park are extremely nice and helpful. The site itself is incredible. In addition to a garden or lakeside ceremony site, there is also a bridal dressing room, all tables, chairs, linens and food is provided. they also provide a wedding coordinator the day of the event to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Our wedding was beautiful and everyone loved the site. Datesbook up quickly, we were lucky enough to move our date up due to a cancellation.

We really loved this place! I would highly recommend this vendor to any bride and groom. We fell in love with Wolf Lakes the moment we visited - it was just perfect. So picturesque. Rolling hills, beautiful landscaping, mature trees, and it overlooks a lake. The one down side to Wolf Lakes Park is that they do tend to be booked well in advance. We had to wait 13 months until there was an opening! But it is well worth it. The location is beautiful, the food was amazing, the staff was so nice and friendly and cooperative. They were willing to work with us customizing details so that our wedding would be perfect. It was a fabulous experience and if I could do it all over again I would marry at Wolf Lakes Park again. They made our wedding perfect.

Great location, beutiful the food is out of this world fantastic!

We had about 5 places in the central valley we wanted to look at for our wedding. We tour Wolf Lakes first and it was a done deal. They have the total package. ( Chair Covers/Sashes, Cater, Coordinator, ceremony site, room to get ready in, Beer/Wine.) The venue is self is absolutely beautiful. We got married 08/20/2016 Lakeside. Wolf Lakes let you sample the food they have to offer. We went with the Apricot Bourbon Chicken, summer medley, and the rice pilaf. Portions may seem small but it really is enough for dinner. The Coordinator was amazing, she made sure everything went smoothly. throughout the night she kept coming up to us to make sure we had everything we needed. Wolf Lakes is worth every penny spent.

Very helpful and gave lots of information

You can't go wrong with this beautiful outdoor garden venue. We met with Janice who was extremely professional and well versed in how weddings work with her venue. The venue provides on-site catering, space for both the ceremony and the reception, as well as brides and grooms rooms to get ready. I can't wait to get married here.

Very kind and helpful people. Beautiful venue and very accommodating.
Only issue is that you can't try the food but once a year. Unfortunately, the tasting is only a couple of weeks before our wedding. But, I trust it will be great!
Their staff was incredible! The tables were so beautiful! Lakeside was so beautiful! Everything turned out great! The food was superb! We had many compliments on it!

As soon as we stepped foot here, we knew this was our venue. The communication with the staff was pleasant and prompt. They were willing to answer any questions I had, even when I had plenty of time before the wedding. The day of we were worried about rain, but we were assured that there was a plan B that was beautiful. Thankfully, we didn't get rained on. Everything the day of was absolutely perfect! I honestly don't think there was one thing that I was disappointed in. I was blown away with the service and all of the staff that helped us that day. If you are interested in having your wedding here, you will not be let down.

Wolf Lakes Park team from beginning to end made our big day more than we could of hoped for. From planning with the office staff, to rehearsing with our coordinator who had to be patient with a bunch of people with no idea what we were doing, and finally the big day doing last minute twerks to make everything perfect. We never had to worry about anything on the big day! They were even accommodating with extra appetizers when our wedding party appetizers got chowed down by family. The food was spectacular and they even made dogie bags for us since we barely touched our dinner due to the chaos!

We just had our wedding there a couple of weeks ago and they are great. They worked with us and let us do pretty much what we wanted, we had a minor problem but they negotiated with us and it ended up great! The place is beautiful and they take care of everything so that you don't have to deal with tons of rental companies or anything like that, you pretty much leave it to them and they take care of it. We had a great experience and our guests were just blown away that there was a beautiful place like this in Fresno for people to get married at. They were a hit!

Wolf lakes was great, they took care of everything and ensured a worry free wedding day. If I had to do it all over again I would still choose Wolf Lakes.

Picture perfect setting by the lake. The food was awesome, everyone loved it. They even offer free boat cruises for the guests, at night during your wedding.

The Groom can also arrive on his own boat right before the ceremony.

I marked down 1 star on quality of service because they were training this new girl as my wedding coordinator, and I wasnt notified until the day before my wedding. She was ok, but I didnt feel confident, as some things weren't done on time. (ex. i had to find her and tell her to get my toss bouquet because the DJ had just announced that we were going to do the bouquet toss...she should have been more on top of it)

Wolf Lakes Park is such a beautiful venue, I got married on their garden side. They were always there to answer all of our questions, not to mention their food, OMG it is delicious! The only issue I had was on the day of the wedding they were really pushy and rushed me through a lot of things such as photos, saying hi to guests, things like that. I understand we had 6 hours to get through everything but we also paid a lot of money to have our event there so a little leniency would have been appreciated. Other than that it was still beautiful and I would definitely recommend this venue to other brides.

We visited several times and asked many questions before booking. Be sure you have an appointment if you're needing help from the office. If you show up without an appointment, the office ladies will remind you that all office visits require one, but they will still help you. Otherwise, you're free to do a self tour of the grounds during business hours. Very excited for our special day!

Wolf Lakes is a beautiful venue and was the perfect choice for our wedding. The surroundings are amazing and the service is second to none. The only thing we did not like was having to pay for a minimum of 150 guests when we only had 130. Also, they opened all of the wine so we had several open bottles to take home rather than unopened ones. We had to throw a lot away. Other than that, the venue was great.

Wolf Lakes did an amazing job for our wedding, absolutely exceeding our (and our guests) expectations. They have added a lot of lovely architectural detail to the site, and the foliage has grown in a great deal. The staff was fantastic - every single person we talked to or dealt with was professional and very friendly. Our event went off without a hitch! While the cost for a wedding at Wolf Lakes is up there, it's definitely worth it!

My only issues were:
1) The minimum person requirement was a tad frustrating (100 people for a Friday). If you're going to require a minimum headcount, and people don't meet that, they should be able to make up the difference (money-wise) with either food or beverage. For example, we only had 80 guests, so it would have been nice to be able to upgrade our food choices with the money we had to pay for the additional 20 people.

2) Wolf Lakes really needs to pave their entire driveway and parking area. It astounded me that half of the drive is dirt.

We got married at Wolf Lakes park on April 22, 2017 in their Lakeside area. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I wouldn't change anything. The staff at Wolf Lakes are wedding experts and they know what they are doing! We had a little under 200 guests, and had so many of them tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. I don't want to be biased, but it was the best I've been to also. ;) Our entree choices were tri-tip and stuffed chicken, and they were AMAZING. We chose golden potatoes for our starch option and OMG they are gooood. If you book your wedding with them, you get tickets to a food tasting that they host every March. This is the only opportunity to try their food free of charge, but you get to try every option that they have and there is a lot! So many guests complimented the food and said it wasn't typical "wedding food." The venue is absolutely gorgeous on both the Garden side, and Lakeside. The selling point for us to pick the Lakeside was that the groomsmen have the option of riding in to the ceremony on a pontoon boat! Soooo cool! Our guests were amazed and I got to watch their entrance while I hid at the beginning of the aisle. I get to watch it over and over in our wedding video, and it is seriously cool. You get a "day of" coordinator, and ours was Savannah. She didn't get to be with us for our rehearsal, which initially made me nervous, but she did a great job when the day came. The bridal dressing room is spacious and comfortably fit my wedding party of 7 bridesmaids, myself, and 3 stylists. It also has 2 salon style chairs, which the stylists appreciated. I would without a doubt, chose Wolf Lakes Park again!

Wolf Lakes is a beautiful venue with great food. I worried about nothing the day of, rain or shine - I knew they had a plan!

Wolf Lakes was outstanding. We're not a huge fan of the aesthetics of their new improvements, but their service is exceptional. We had a great wedding!

My groomsmen and I got to come in to the venue site on a boat, which was cool. All of the guests had a lot of fun. The only downside was before the weddng the room that the guys were suppose to get ready in didn't have any electricity. It was hot!

We fell in love with this venue! It is a gorgeous place to get married at. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The only problem we had with them was with the grooms changing room. There was no electricity for them until right before the ceremony, so the room became too hot and the guys stayed outside so they could stay somewhat comfortable, even though it was hot outside too. Other than that the food is delicious and our guests really enjoyed the boat rides provided!

When I call to get information I was told that each area would have it's own coordinator, for that area. I found out two days before my wedding that the coordinator for my area wouldn't be there the day of my wedding. I thought they would put another coordinator for my area but the used the coordinator for the other area. He was to work both area but I never saw him there. I had brought soda's so my guests wouldn't have to pay for them and bartender still charge my guests for the soda I bought. I had told wolf Lakes that the flower girl and Ring bearer were sitting at the head table with us. When we went over thing I told them I was not going to drink champagne we we sat down they had already pour champagne for everyone including my flower girl and ring bearer. I was informed that wolf lakes server were standing behind guest just waiting to take their plates, I had one guest go use the restroom just to come back to find his plate gone. I feel that this wouldn't have happened if they would have given me the coordinator just for my area like I paid for. Wolf Lakes is a beautiful area to have you wedding just make sure you have a coordinator just for your area.

Wolf Lakes is hands down one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Central Valley. That being said I feel that because the venue is gorgeous they can get away with treating you like crap. First of all we feel that advertising that a "wedding coordinator" is included in the facility cost is a scam. The only contact we had with the coordinator was at our detailing appointment which they wouldn't allow us to do until a few weeks before the wedding. We met someone who we assumed was our coordinator however when we asked her how else we could contact her she simply said to call the office, which is impossible to get someone at times. The day of the reception we had a COMPLETELY NEW person who knew NOTHING about the wedding and the details that were discussed. I actually got a call in the middle of getting my hair done asking for the table assignments (which was emailed several days before, I even received a confirmation email that they had it) Several very important things were botched the day of the wedding- while the head table was served we had mentioned time and time again that the parents table and important elders table be hand served. The head server chose to serve the VIP table first rather than sever our parents and grandparents. An observant person would have known which table both fathers had stood up from to give their speeches. What's worse is that the bride’s father stood up as the other table was being served and informed the head waiter that he was serving the wrong table and that the grandparents table must be served first. He reiterated this twice and was rebuked. After what seemed like eternity the table was served except for the father of the groom. We had to inform the wait staff that he was not served. This is a terrible disgrace in Asian cultures and were embarrassed that this occurred. Not only was the table served inappropriately late the food that was served was subpar- the steak served to our parents and grandparents was so hard that they
