Catalpa Grove at Lakewood Park

Beautiful site, incredibly accommodating and helpful staff.

If you are looking for a unique wedding experience that your friends and family will never stop talking about, Catalpa Grove is the perfect place for you! We were tired of going to the same wedding time after time and wanted a place where we could customize the experience to us. Catalpa gave us a lengthy list of recommended vendors but also allowed us to work with ones we found on our own. From the day we reserved our wedding weekend dates to the day of our actual wedding, Alex and Marissa were awesome. They had great communication and made sure I had all of my ducks in a row for our wedding day. We had a large group of people use the campground sites and reserved all of the cabins for the weekend. Andrew and team did a great job ensuring the reservations and weekend stay went smoothly. We can't wait to come back year after year to camp and reminisce on our perfect wedding weekend!

The absolute greatest venue with the BEST staff. We had a long engagement, which meant tons of questions over time and Marissa was there every step of the way!! Every question we had was answered quickly, every reasonable request was accomplished and she handled every panic moment I had with grace. The venue was beyond gorgeous and people are still talking about the venue & cabins. We were able to have our day exactly how we wanted it and we could not have asked for a better place or a better person to lead us through it all!! Thank you Catalpa Grove and Marissa for making our dream come alive!

Overall venue is a 10 out of 10! From the venue itself to the staff to the cabins. They were able to make my dream wedding come true! There is not other venue like Catalpa Grove! Staff we patient and kind through the whole process. We rented all 11 cabins out and it was such a nice touch to have friends and family stay the entire time with us!

I've been trying to find the words to describe our experience with Catalpa Grove. It's been a long journey we originally toured the venue in March of 2021 and instantly fell in love! Patty, Alex, and everyone there were absolutely wonderful to work with and made the planning process so much easier. I can't have imagined a better place to be to share our special day with family and friends.

If we could 10 stars we would!!! Our wedding was amazing and everyone at Catalpa went above & beyond for our day! Marissa was the best, seriously we love you. Meg & Matt Romano 💕🎶

If I could rate this venue any higher I would. The staff are amazing. it rained the day of our wedding and they helped us come up with another idea in lieu of an outside wedding. the facilities are amazing.

This venue is just absolute perfection. I'll put it this way - I started with a spreadsheet of 200+ wedding venues to research across PA, and toured 10+ of them, and Catalpa both checked every box on paper and also every WOW factor in person. Let's start with the obvious - this venue is just absolutely beautiful, inside and out. It has the rustic charm of the lake, the woods, the trees, the wood, but it also is extremely elegant and modern. From the moment we drove up, we were in love with its beauty and setting. Then there are the people - every single person we interacted with was not only just helpful and professional, but you can tell that they truly take pride in this place and care about the couples who have their wedding here. Karen gave us an incredible tour and helped us through the booking process, and Candice was absolutely delightful, organized, and made our month-of and day-of coordination go flawlessly. Catalpa is extremely organized and detail-oriented. They send checklists, ask questions, and guide you through the entire process, and they will work with you to make sure your wedding goes perfectly. And finally, I want to touch on just how unique this venue is. We were able to rent the venue for both Friday and Saturday, allowing us to spend Friday setting up our decor and having our rehearsal, and then having the ceremony and reception on Saturday. Friday night, the entire wedding party stayed in the on-site cabins, and Catalpa even lit the firepit for us to hang out around on the eve of the wedding! The on-site cabins are absolutely incredible, and all of our guests who stayed there were blown away. The other amazing part about this venue is that you can truly make your wedding your own - you can bring in any vendor you would like, bring your own decor, your own alcohol, food trucks, anything! Being able to customize all of these things really made our wedding feel like OUR event, something that reflected our personalities. And finally, the guest and vendor experience here at Catalpa is just unmatched. The kitchen was built specifically to caterers' recommendations, the bridal suite is beautiful, the parking lot is huge, the stereo system is brand new, the bar is massive, the site is handicap accessible, the bathrooms are large and clean, there is a huge indoor space for lots of guests (we had 180 and still had a huge dance floor) and also a huge outdoor area for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as lawn games and the firepit. I just cannot recommend this venue enough, and I will never stop raving about it. Thank you so much to the entire staff at Catalpa - you're truly incredible and made our day absolutely perfect.

We can't say enough good things about our wedding experience with Catalpa Grove. They are so responsive, kind, helpful, fun, organized, and everything else you want in your venue's staff. The venue itself is stunning. So much greenery, the grounds are well-kept, everything was perfectly clean inside and out for our big day. We rented all of the cabins for our wedding party and everyone raved about how luxury they were. It was so much fun (& convenient) to stay all together with our wedding party/family/guests for the wedding weekend! For us this was really just everything we could have wanted for our wedding. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a wedding or large event. We couldn't have been happier with everything they did for us and are so grateful to everyone at Catalpa for our perfect wedding!

This venue is so beautiful and unique. My husband and I toured this venue and booked it the next day. It was the perfect location and fit our style amazingly. I think 99.9% of wedding venues are beautiful but they’re designed to be that way. This place has the most beautiful industrial meets rustic style which we love. However, the looks of the venue is not what was amazing about it. The venue coordinator, Marissa, was AMAZING. Marissa went above and beyond not just on our wedding day, but every time I went contacted her. She always responded quickly and was super helpful! She works efficiently and always has a positive attitude. Marissa is such a lovely person to work with and such a kind soul. On our wedding day, it rained, so Marissa made sure the indoor ceremony was set up nicely (and turned out more beautiful than it being outside). We had some issues with the DJ and Marissa was a total champ and handled it effectively. She even went dumpster diving for me when I thought my now husband accidentally threw out money! She seriously went above and beyond for us! Marissa is really what made the venue extra special for us. Whenever we think back to our wedding, we always think of Marissa first and how truly wonderful she was! Thanks Marissa for being so amazing!

We had the most perfect day at Catalpa Grove. So many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how many options there were for guests during the reception- inside, outside, firepit, balcony, etc. We lucked out with the weather being the most beautiful day but I would recommend Catalpa for any event! The space is stunning and Karen and the team were so helpful and accommodating. Karen thought of everything I could possibly consider and helped so much getting everything set up on the day of the wedding. We could not be more happy with our wedding day at Catalpa Grove.

Amazing venue! So beautiful and staff was so helpful! We loved them all from day 1! We loved being able to camp with our camper and family and rent the cabins for the rest of the bridal party. Trish was always very helpful and kind to us, I truly felt like a pampered princess all day even knowing they have weddings all weekend long! I really loved that we had the venue all day and no other weddings are happening the same day, very helpful with setup and teardown! We are still camping now and love our relax day!

The days was perfect! We loved that we could pick and choose services based on our budget and design the day exactly to our liking. The staff was super helpful, responsive, and flexible throughout the process!

We got married here on March 19, 2022. The day was amazing. The venue is gorgeous and the staff was fantastic. The on-site cabins were an awesome feature. They let us take our engagement photos here as well. The day was perfect. Every detail was taken care of. Alex was awesome. She was our coordinator.

We are beyond excited to have our wedding here next year!! The venue is beautiful! The grounds are breathtaking and everyone there was so very kind! We sent an email to schedule a showing and get pricing within a few hours we got a response and a time to come visit! While there everything was explained clearly and any questions we had were answered right away. They were able to work with us on our budget! This venue will defiantly add to our big day!!

My wife and I got married here on August 13th, 2021. We were originally scheduled for September 2020 and then April 2021 but had to postpone twice due to the pandemic. Patty and Karen were nothing but flexible the entire time helping us. We booked this venue before construction was completed and they were nothing but honest with us the whole time, the venue looked exactly how they showed us it would in their mock ups! The only thing better than the service they provided during our planning was the service they provided the day of our wedding. Patty and Karen were there all day and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. Whether it was rearranging tables/chairs/place settings, signaling the wedding party on when to walk out during the ceremony and then reception introductions, or just other necessities throughout the day, the wonderful staff at Catalpa Grove made our special day as stress free as it could possibly be!!

Our wedding is booked for 2022. Our experience with the coordinator and booking has been amazing so far. The place is beautiful and the cabins are very nice as well. We are so excited and cannot wait to have our special day here.

I absolutely loved my venue! Such a beautiful rustic venue with the best staff! Patty and Eric were amazing to work with. Due to rain, they moved my ceremony inside (within minutes) and made the weather not even a factor. They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely PERFECT. Go for a tour, you'll fall in love like we did. I would not think twice of having it anywhere else.

Catalpa Grove was the PERFECT place for our wedding reception. From the beginning of the process to the very end and after, Patty and Trish were incredibly helpful. They were always available to answer questions and help out.

Amazing communication, and what an amazing venue! We had a warm greeting when first walking around the property and soaked up the perfect atmosphere for our Wedding! Super excited to be married at such a lovely venue!

My fiancé and I recently said yes to Catalpa Grove venue! We are so excited to have our special day at this location in August 2022. Karen has made our experience so wonderful, so much so that we did not even have to look at another venue. This was the one and only venue we looked at and we instantly fell in love! Karen has been so incredibly helpful and in addition to the beauty of this venue, she is one of the main reasons we chose to book the venue! There are so many different pieces to planning a wedding, but I have no doubt that the staff at Catalpa Grove will make this a seamless process! We are so beyond excited for all that awaits us on our special day!!

My fiancè and I were so impressed with this venue! This was the first venue we visited, and was the best one we had seen. We knew we had to book immediately. Not only is the venue stunning, the owners are amazing too! Patty and Karen, are very personable and you can tell they love helping couples. Their warm personalities truly made Catalpa Grove feel like a home away from home. We are excited to work with both Patty and Karen while having all of our wedding dreams come true!

This venue has it all ! At 1st sight I thought there was no way we would be able to afford this venue and have the wedding of my dreams but with the help from Patty I was able to start planning and I am truly grateful to have my dream unfold into reality!

Catalpa Grove is simply beautiful! If you love rustic charm and cathedral ceilings this venue is for you. This place is awesome because you have the freedom to make all your decisions. We looked at other venues and NOTHING beat the price that Catalpa Grove offered! This place is VERY CLEAN. There is even an option to rent cabins next to the venue for a discounted price. Patty was wonderful and answered all our questions. Check out this place you wont regret it!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff was a pleasure to work with. We stayed in the cabins along with our family, which I highly recommend!

I recently had my wedding at Catalpa. Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous it is there! Eric, Karen, and Patty were amazing! So welcoming and helpful! They really do whatever they can to make your day perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a more gorgeous place. Thank you Catalpa!

Karen is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met. We are BEYOND excited we chose Catalpa to celebrate the happiest day of our lives! They made it so easy to book with them, extremely organized, and quick to respond back when I had questions. And there were a lot haha Only 788 days left until the big day but who’s counting ;)

Catalpa is a gorgeous venue! The chandeliers are beautiful; it’s a big open space; it has an outdoor fireplace and it’s right next to a creek. Besides the fact that it’s perfect and beautiful Patty and Karen were a bonus as well! They were one of the reasons why we choose to book the venue. They were very kind, adaptable, open, and personable. I’m so happy we choose Catalpa and I look forward to working with Patty and Karen! The venue is amazing and so are Patty and Karen!

Brianna S. I had one of the best experiences booking this venue. It was so stress free and she answered all of our questions. And of course the venue is absolutely beautiful!! If you are on a budget this is the place to definitely book!

The most beautiful venue run by the most beautiful souls! Catalpa is a must see! The second you see the venue you will fall in love! In addition to such an intimate and gorgeous setting, you get to work with some amazing people! They are the most genuine group to work with and will do whatever to help make your day unique and special. When you rent Catalpa as your location you’re not just “booking a place” you’re booking a friendship-people willing to go above and beyond to make your day YOURS! We are so excited for our special day and it’s all thanks to our friends at Catalpa!

Catalpa Grove was the perfect host for my wedding! Planning was a breeze from the beginning with Buck and Patty. I'm so pleased that I get to say was one of the first few brides to be married here. They have the hall decorated beautifully. The Catalpa team is hands on and always friendly. The location couldn't have been more perfect for my husband or I since his family was once the former owners of Lakewood Park. What a special memory for us!

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience so far working with Patty, her family, and the rest of her staff! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. We have booked our wedding for next sunmer and have already had our engagement photo shoot on the beautiful property! Patty was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule our engagement session due to poor weather. The day of the engagement session they offered to drive us and our photographer in their golf cart to different scenic spots as well as offered some tips they have learned from the weddings they have already had. Our family members have stopped in for a few visits and we are always told how sweet everyone treated them! I cant wait for all our guests to enjoy this wedding venue with us on our special day!

It’s a wonderful thing that such an amazing creation has been brought to these grounds. The history of this property is full of intriguing scenes. The owners are beyond amazing! When we came to do a viewing they were still working on the finishing touches. Not just all hired contractor, but the family was all there working together to finish this venue & it’s grounds. And even in their busy schedules they all stopped to greet us and welcome us to Catalpa! Patty and her family are so helpful with everything that I myself, and my vendors need for the planning of our wedding. Their helpfulness to accommodate our visions for our wedding is heartfelt and they are just simply wonderful. to work with. We couldn’t be more pleased with our selection for our wedding and reception. Highly recommend Catalpa Grove for anyone seeking a venue!

Catalpa Grove at Lakewood Park was EVERYTHING I have dreamt about. My wedding was on October 18, 2019 and without the help of my wedding planner, Patty, and Karen support and amazing ideas my wedding wouldn’t have been what it was which was AMAZING. Patty is very responsive any questions you have, especially when you don’t know the area very much she has that covered for you. My guest were speechless and the scenery was priceless. Trust me the moment you see the scenery your heart will melt and the inside of the venue was everything you can imagine! Thank you Patty, Karen, Eric, and Buck!

Highly recommend this venue! The reception hall is gorgeous. The land itself is beautiful and has so much cool history surrounding it. Patty and Karen are so sweet and are working very hard to make this place special for every couple that gets married here!

Patty, Karen, and Eric were so welcoming and helpful during our site visit this past weekend- it was only the second venue we've visited but we fell in love with it right away! The construction is coming along very nicely and I am so excited to see the finished product. Can't wait to have my dream wedding here next fall!

We absolutely love the family filled atmosphere that was surrounding us when we went to tour this venue!! We fell in love with it & can not wait to get married there, and see how everything is going to look finished! Patty & Karen are sweethearts and answered every single question we had about the venue and the day of our wedding!!

We just recently booked this venue and we couldn’t be more happy with a perfect place! Patty and her crew are so easy going and gave us very detailed information and answered any of our questions! We cannot wait for the big day!!

Booking our wedding venue with Patty was the best decision we've made thus far! She was very responsive, and replied to all my emails immediately. When we met in person, she was warm and personable! When we reviewed the contract, she was so flexible and accommodating to all our requests. All the prices were VERY affordable. Unlike many of the other venues we toured, she's allowing us to use our own vendors. The venue location was breathtaking! It sits next to a gorgeous lake that is surrounded by trees. We were a little anxious about booking a venue that hasn't been built yet. But, Patty was happy to show us around and even went through the blueprints to help visualize it. I can't wait for our wedding day! I'm just so happy we found this place.

Booking with patty at catalpa grove was nothing but smooth sailing. From our first conversation she was nothing but kind and extremely helpful . They are very accommodating and keep us up to date on all new things coming to this gorgeous venue ! Can’t wait to celebrate our big day in November there !

I booked the venue a few weeks ago and the booking experience was absolutely wonderful. They are incredibly nice and accommodating people. I am so looking forward to having my wedding here.
