Inn On The Lakes

igner high end finishes. The ceremony was in the garden area off the pool full of tropical plants and flowers overlooking the lake. The reception was in the newly renovated Royal Palm room. Erica, the event coordinator, was so very professional. She helped us plan and advised us throughout the entire wedding. Everything from managing staff to fixing the train before walking down the isle to staying to the end was seen to by Erica. She is an tremendous asset to the Inn. We just can't say enough about how she catered to us every way possible. The delicious food was provided by Chicanes and was plated and served by the highly skilled staff. They also cut and served the cake at Erica's request. That evening as we left, we were all touched by the congratulations to the newlywed couple on the hotel marquis.

We held the wedding ceremony at the far end of the pool, in the garden area surrounded by flowers and chirping birds. The hotel closed $ the pool area for "a private event", so the wedding was very private and the photographer had free rein in the pool area. We booked room 218 for the couple for five nights, so that we could take wedding pictures on and from the balcony. Everything was super easy: licence and marriage certificate from a friendly lady at city hall; officiant White Butterfly Wedding Creations; two hours of photography by Carmela Blackwell Photography; and dinner in the semi-private Brick Room at Chicanes, where we simply ordered off the menu. And, as a bonus, all very affordable - cost for the wedding event (license, officiant, photography, pool closure, dinner and five nights hotel) less than $2800.

in. Since we live 2 hours away, we depended a lot on the event/wedding planner at the hotel and she did not disappoint. Lines of communication were always open and she worked with our budget and number of guests very well. The price of the reception was very reasonable and the food was quite good. The reception room itself was big enough to fit our 70 guests plus DJ and dance floor. The only downside to the room was the fact that the ceiling is very low which made it look smaller than what it really is and the space in between the tables used for our grand entrance was a little tight. The only other thing that was a bit disappointing was the cocktail hour setup. I didn't realize the appetizers weren't going to be served by the servers. They were left on the table for people to serve themselves. Unfortunately, people took advantage of this and only half of our guests were able to taste the appetizers. In retrospect, that was the one question I didn't ask and I probably could have asked for it to be done that way. I would definitely recommend asking that question beforehand. Overall, my husband and I had a great experience. We especially enjoyed the Presidential Suite we stayed in for the night and the complimentary champagne and breakfast we received. We definitely recommend Inn on the Lakes to anyone getting married in Sebring.
