If we could rate LBL 10 stars, we would!! We are two brides who booked our wedding date with LBL about 2 years ago, and we just had our big day with them in August 2024 (~70 guests...). We initially fell in love with the gorgeous views and ability to accommodate so many of our guests onsite, but over the past two years, LBL has taken up a special place in our hearts. Our wedding coordinator Rebecca was with us every step of the way, from answering our random 'details' emails to chatting it up at the tasting, even to fluffing our dresses before our walk down the aisle. She made the entire wedding planning process feel like a breeze, and we are so bummed that our time working with her is over! The entire staff and crew during our wedding weekend- Xani, Hannah, Evan, just to name a few!- were just the kindest people, and genuinely seemed excited for us and wanted the day to go smoothly for us. LBL was all about the little details- from handing us celebratory glasses of champagne after our ceremony to writing an adorable sign for our tiki boat ride (and yes, they have a freaking TIKI BOAT that you can book!!). They went out of their way to make us feel special, even when they were fully booked with weddings the day before and after us. But don't you worry- they have all the big stuff covered, too! Room blocks, rehearsal dinner, setting up decor, transitions between the hillside and cocktail hour and reception; all of it went off without a hitch! And the FOOD!!! Y'all, the food cannot be understated. Everything was truly so delicious; on our recommendation, we had about 50 guests order prime rib and all of them were so impressed/said it was the best wedding meal they'd ever had. The bacon-wrapped scallops at cocktail hour, the signature cocktails, and the after party nachos, are all legendary right now in our group chats.
Stepping back again, we cannot say enough how well taken care of we were by the LBL crew. As a lesbian couple, we toured several other venues that made us feel uncomfortable, or that we didn't feel would fully celebrate us. LBL never once made us feel that way, and truly gave us the best bridal experience we could have. Both of our families stayed the full week and we are all already thinking of booking again next year just for a family vacation! The rooms/options (especially pet-friendly ones), amenities (pool, lake, kayaks, etc.), and price fit our needs perfectly.
After the wedding, the word that all of us used to describe it was "magical." We had a truly magical wedding weekend, and it was all thanks to LBL! If you are looking for a venue that won't treat you like a number, somewhere that provides stunning onsite lodging and the most incredible food, gorgeous ceremony and reception locations, and the best staff in the world, look no further than Lake Bomoseen Lodge! All our love, The Burkes <3
