Warning! Only giving 1 star because you can’t give NONE! This is where to lose money folks! All went well until we saw what he REALLY HAS! We got taken on this venue! Place is a mess, mud pit parking, run down, disgusting and dilapidated “brid...
al and grooms quarters,” owner represented something he does not have in online pictures. Said when he fixed it up he would send more pics to us, that never happened! Looks NOTHING like the website says! Took our deposit and upon visit we discovered he was repairing what someone previously fell through the weekend before according to another visitor post, and the owner Dennis Nooner, even ADMITTED he shouldn’t have shown the property in such a mess! My Entire family was in shock, who saw the venue also! None of us could believe what he was charging for the mess he had! We asked for our $1000 deposit back twice and he Still wouldn’t give it back fully knowing and admitting his place is in shambles. He just ignores us now that he got our money and we cancelled our wedding here! Save ur time and money and look elsewhere! This is not the venue or kind of people you want to deal with! And to you Denny, I hope you enjoy every hard earned cent you stole from us! Sincerely, US ARMY GREEN BERET VETERAN AND NURSE FIANCE!

We got married last month at the Island at Lake Banoe and had an absolutely amazing overall experience. The venue itself is very unique and beautiful. We knew we had found the right place the moment we visited. We had our ceremony on the law...
n by the lake and then our reception on the covered pavilion overlooking the water. Our guests have told us over and over how much they enjoyed the scenic views and the overall vibe of the rustic yet beautiful venue. If you choose to get photos done on site, there are many unique backgrounds for your photographer to get creative and capture some great shots. The Owner (Denny) was also an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. It was clear from the moment we met on our initial visit that his number 1 priority was to do everything in his power to make sure we had the Best Day Ever. We could not have been happier with our decision to get married at The Island at Lake Banoe and would highly recommend anyone considering this venue for their big day to take the time to visit with Denny and see for yourself the endless possibilities this place has to offer.

Great place for a ceremony as a photographer. Lot's of variety for backdrops to capture great shots. Easy to work with and super unique vibe to make it one of a kind.

I started providing a wedding venue after a friend asked to hold a wedding on my family's farm on the shore of our 10-acre man-made Lake Banoe. They loved the unique setting and the remarkable wedding photo options. Then two years ago I decided to make it even more special by planting several acres of lavender. It’s a perfect fit with my love of hosting large events, farming and offering the very best personal attention. The farm has been in our family for nearly 100 years, and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to share it with couples who want a one-of-a-kind wedding experience
