The Hotel
This is truly an all in one wedding venue. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that allows for your ceremony, formal wedding photos and reception all in one place, this could be the wedding venue for you!
Wedding Ceremonies
If you’re looking for a great lakeside wedding ceremony location this wedding venue should be on your list to check out. Leave the rustic white trellis bare or decorate it, make it the ceremony area as unique as you are as a couple. There is a balcony on the back of the hotel which is great for aerial wedding photos! Surrounded by lushes green trees, the lake is quite picturesque. If it should rain, they have plenty of options for indoor wedding ceremonies as well.
Grounds For Wedding Photos
They have a good amount of park and urban like settings around the hotel grounds for your wedding photos, you don’t have to leave the grounds unless you want to. You can find rustic beauty anywhere if you just stand back and look. The wooden rustic doors behind the bride and groom in the next two wedding photos are the doors to the hotel’s garbage area, believe it or not! Time has changed the appearance of that location but it’s still awesome!
There are quite a few scenic areas by the lake for your wedding photos as well. I just love wedding parties that like to ham it up for the camera;)
I always love to scout out my wedding venues ahead of time so I know where to take my couples. Even the front of the hotel has some amazing wedding photos opportunities. From the brick on the walls of the hotel to the gorgeous stone work across the street with hanging green leafy veins, picturesque for wedding photos.
