An Affair By The Lake

ating, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself was stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our big day. Lorraine and Cheri coordinated all day of details, which made for an extremely smooth and relaxing wedding day. It was worth every penny, and we highly recommend An Affair by the Lake for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding experience!

re able to use as our base-camp. But perhaps what sets is apart is that Lorraine (the owner) made our experience at An Affair by the Lake so seamless! She helped ensure every detail was followed through on, was so communicative throughout the planning process, and coordinated with our vendors for timing out the day. It made our wedding feel perfectly tailored to our unique "rustic elegant" style. We live in the UK, so having Lorraine to guide us through our timeline and decision making made us feel like we were in the safest of hands. The day-of was a dream!

lf way across the country, I decided to do my own research and trust the reviews of others to help us select the venue, photographer and officiant. Because everything was perfect and exceeded all expectations, I wanted to share my experience here as well. Venue - The venue is so beautiful. I fell in love with the outside gazebo and my husband was happy that it was on a lake. Lots of area for an outdoor wedding and the house was very spacious, beautiful and lots of places for great pictures. The whole place provides a very comforting vibe where you feel like you are at home. Lorraine from An Affair by the Lake was amazing! From the very first email, she responded quickly with all of the information and subsequent emails when I had any additional questions. She was very professional, courteous and sincere, which you will feel when she lets you know she wants everything to be exactly as you envision for the day. Great communication and follow up schedule to confirm details such as cake, music, decorations, etc. She creates a folder so you both can easily add information in one place and not have to search through emails. Professionalism - Lorraine was wonderful, very kind, respectful an really made it so much fun. She adds so many of her personal touches that make you feel very welcome and at ease before you arrive and especially when you get to the venue. Lorraine provided a variety of restaurants that were in the area and helped us with our "Hallmark wedding in Vermont" by finding someone in the vicinity who could end it with a horse and carriage ride. Everything here was absolutely perfect and that included the rain that day which was still drizzling during the ceremony. It made for the most incredible pictures with the fog over the lake and the mountains in the background. Sun, rain, snow - all would make for a beautiful wedding location. We were so incredibly happy with Lorraine, the venue and the entire experience while we were there. Would absolutely recommend whether you have 2 people or 200 people. It was the most wonderful time, beautiful scenery, sunsets, calming and peaceful location. . Highly recommend to anyone looking to elope as we did or to have a larger wedding ceremony. When we tell others and they see the pictures, they cannot believe it was all pulled together in a few months with no stress what so ever.

l checklist so we could keep track of all of the things we needed to do before the big day, was extremely responsive, and went out of her way to help us find vendors that met our requirements. Coming from out of state, we were a little overwhelmed trying to get everything organized, but Lorraine made it easy for us. We had booked An Affair By the Lake in early March 2020 before the pandemic began, and ultimately decided to cancel our large wedding and opted for a smaller COVID-friendly ceremony. I am confident that if we had gone through with our original large wedding plan, Lorraine would have ensured the day was beyond perfect for us.
