Camp Lindenmere

you are considering a weekend wedding at a summer camp, look no further. This is the right spot. And I need to say this early in my review...the food is DELICIOUS. Like unbelieveably good. This venue is where summer camp meets country club! Our guests began arriving Friday and the staff helped transport their belongings and sign into bunks. The bunks were beautiful and comfortable with ac, electric, and bathrooms with granite countertops. Everything was spotless and clean. Private rooms are available as well for your more mature guests. My husband and I had a beautiful lakehouse to ourselves with a great bridal "getting ready" area. Guests were transported in golf carts which were always at the ready for anyone who needed a ride, no need to worry about your more mature guests walking! Friday and Saturday day our guests enjoyed the ropes course and lake, and we had a wonderful BBQ and bonfire Friday night at the beautiful 1800s stone lodge and patio. My guests all RAVED about how helpful and friendly all the staff were. In fact, most told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Lindenmere even provided Friday night decor and centerpieces - one less thing for us to worry about! And they were beautiful lanterns and lights. They also provided itineraries and maps for our guests which was so nice! Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day with our guests enjoying the grounds. I didn't need to worry about setup, the staff took care of ALL of my decorations. God bless them - they figured out where all my boxes of stuff went and put everything together while I enjoyed getting ready. I don't know how they did it! By the time I got to brunch the next day, everything was neatly packed and ready to be loaded into our cars to go. There were backup plans and spaces ready to go in case of rain, but I'm pretty sure these guys can control the weather. We went from 80% chance of thunderstorms to sunny and beautiful overnight. We had a preceremony cocktail hour in the Lindendome followed by our ceremony in the gorgeous stone amphitheater surrounded by nature. Seriously, in all my dreams of an outdoor wedding I could never imagine a more perfect spot. Our post ceremony cocktail hour was held on a beautiful patio near our reception area. The reception area was a large covered pavilion with everything we needed to enjoy our night. And I'll say it again because it deserves repeating - THE FOOD! We kept the party going in our canteen afterparty where we had a karaoke party. We had so much fun with the staff and they did EVERYTHING to make our weekend perfect. My husband and I even had personal van drivers for whenever we were ready to go somewhere. We finished with a Sunday Brunch and we were all sad to say goodbye. As the bride, I didn't need to worry or stress about anything the entire weekend. Staff took care of ALL of it. I know this is long but I really can't say enough about this place. We just had the most wonderful, magical weekend. Kudos to the staff for their hard work. Everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, and we hope to come back and visit with everyone soon! THANK YOU LINDENMERE!

that happen! They encouraged everyone to let loose and be silly which was an amazing bonding experience. It was so fun for us to get to see our favorite people interact and really get to know one another, allowing our friends to make new friends. Isn’t that the whole point of camp?! We came to camp with a clear idea of the experience we wanted to provide to our guests. The leadership group (Kyle, Edvin & Lewis) took the time to understand our vision and organized planning sessions and visits to craft the experience we were looking for. From putting together menus and beverage selections, to planning the weekend schedule and handling payments, they helped keep things moving along while helping us finalize the details for our event. Staying in the bunks was fun for most of our guests - and having private rooms with ‘real’ mattresses and beds was a perfect solution for others, ensuring that everyone could stay the whole weekend and take advantage of all the activities. There were organized games like kickball and lake relays, and other activities like archery, the climbing wall or trapeze (!) available all day. There were enough group activities to promote getting to know each other and the entire day ended with a huge relay race across camp that EVERYone participated in! It was so fun - everyone was smiling and exhausted by dinner time, but the good times kept going late into the night! And that was the day before the wedding! On top of a fantastic camp day, Kyle and the crew threw an amazing party! The wedding day was just as wonderful and fulfilling as the camp experience. Our guests were free to relax or keep playing at camp while we got ready at the Lake House, which was a beautiful place for our first round of photos. As we made our way over to the amphitheater from the Lake House, the staff filtered our guests into the ceremony location where the team had set up our chuppah and arranged the planters and flowers, everything was absolutely beautiful. The team took our vision for the set up and executed our ideas, and then some! Everyone went above and beyond! While we took pictures, our guests went to cocktail hour and then down to the circus for the reception - transportation by golf cart was available for those that couldn’t make the walk. The transition to each location was smooth and easy for everyone to understand. Everyone was so energized by the day before, so the reception was definitely the climax. Everyone jumped onto the dance floor as soon as the music started - we couldn’t wait to get out there! Over the course of the weekend every member of the staff was simply incredible. Our guests couldn’t help but rave about how friendly and helpful each team member was. It was clear that everyone’s primary goal was to make sure our guests were taken care of. Additionally, the number of staff members made available to us made the logistics of hosting a weekend long event a breeze! The entire event is still something our guests talk about with a huge smile!

d hardworking group. They bring the feeling of summer camp to the forefront of their service but in the most professional (and fun) way possible. You can see their friendships and positivity through the staff which made it even more enjoyable to work with them. The venue itself is amazing and they're really flexible with how you want to change things up. They literally helped make my vision complete and even added things to it that I didn't even think of. There are so many different areas that are perfect for photos, getting ready, and any sort of fun activity you could imagine. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor, rustic, romantic wedding that's filled with lots of laughs, great people, beautiful photos, and a lifetime of memories.
