We’ve had the pleasure of working with Grace on the Lake and Rich many times, and it’s always such a wonderful experience! 🙌
Rich is an absolute professional, warm, organized, and always dedicated to creating a smooth, joyful experience for every couple. You can truly feel the care he puts into every detail of the venue and each event.
The venue itself is breathtaking, from the beautiful barn to the ceremony space right by the water, every corner feels magical.
The staff is amazing too, friendly, reliable, and a dream to collaborate with. Each time we’re there, everything runs seamlessly, allowing couples to simply relax and enjoy the moment.

This was our dream come true of a wedding venue. It was beautiful and well taken care of. Rich helped us with everything and made us feel cared for. He helped relieve stress so we could focus on having our day. I would recommend this place to anyone. The barn was the seller for me.

ng process a breeze. The venue itself is truly unique, inviting, and magical - the lakeside setting and beautiful decor created an unforgettable ambiance for our special day. Rich and his crew went above and beyond to make our wedding day feel truly special, and we loved that the venue was able to accommodate our entire bridal party and all of our loved ones. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our marriage. We highly recommend Grace on the Lake to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.

m and loved having some personal space to just unwind with a cup of coffee in the morning. Can we just talk about how beautiful the property is, watching the sunset over the lake each night was one of my favorite parts of the day.
I would love another opportunity to come back to grace, it was so relaxing, and the owners are wonderful to work with.

and went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted. The bridal suite is beautiful with lots of room and natural light, perfect for taking photos! The grooms suite was a great area for the guys to hangout in the morning. Both have a kitchenette which makes it easy to store drinks and have breakfast in the morning. We had our rehearsal dinner in the rehearsal barn which had ample space and great lighting. The amount of sleeping was a big thing that we loved about this venue. The main house and 5 cabins provide plenty of sleeping for you and your guests. Each of the cabins has a shower and bathroom which was a huge plus. The main house also provides 3 bedrooms, living area space, dining area, huge kitchen, and bathrooms. The barn is absolutely stunning with its big windows facing the lake that give incredible views and lighting. The chandeliers and fairy lights are stunning. The bar is beautiful and has lots of space. The wooden tables are super durable and give lots of seating space. We had our ceremony down by the lake which was so beautiful. This ceremony spot is directly lakeside which gives great views and a nice breeze! We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our big day and would definitely recommend this venue!

ond beautiful and it was perfect for my rustic but modern style barn wedding. The ceremony was perfect, set up at the waterside, I have the most breathtaking photos from the ceremony and after pictures right on the lake.
The use of the golf carts provided by the owners for getting around the site was super helpful and so much fun. The cabins are super cute for the guests to stay in. The bridal suite and groom suite were perfect. The small barn for the rehearsal dinner was super useful so we could set up the barn for the wedding a day in advance. I couldn't have imagined having my wedding anywhere but here. It was definitely the most amazing weekend of my life. I wish I could relive that weekend all over again. You definitely should look at this place as a top venue, it was absolutely beautiful.

te an exceptionally rainy season, the grounds were well kept. The Wedding Barn was stunning: very open even with 130 guests, well ventilated, beautifully lit, and so easy to dress up to your liking. The views from the barn were stunning and the massive windows facing the lake allowed for guests to enjoy a beautiful sunset from the venue. The bridal suite was an amazing touch, with many details and touches that showed great thought: multiple places for bridesmaids/the bride to sleep, a long, well lit table for getting ready, kitchen for breakfast/etc, and a bar to hang dresses on while you steam them. The groom's suite was the perfect spot to hang out after the reception. Having cabins on site for your bridal party and other guests to utilize was also a very convenient touch. As a member of the bridal party, it was really nice to have our own spot to go rest in after the big day, with it's own kitchenette, air conditioner, bathroom, and bed. I would recommend this venue to anyone, as the weekend was unforgettable and everything about the venue was beautiful.

reathtaking. The barn easily accommodate our wedding and provided a comfortable and cool location for the reception. The cherry on top was being able to stay in the cabins on the property with our wedding party and close family.
Working with Rich and the Grace team was always effortless. They were always ready and willing to answer any questions and were very accommodating to our requests. You can tell they want your day to be perfect which meant a lot.
We made countless cherished memories during our weekend filled with quality time spent with the people we love most. Come Sunday we did not want to leave!
