Lake House Reception Center

can be as all-inclusive as you want it to be. Flowers, decor, food, bar, photography/videography, cake, an excellent staff, an amazing coordinator (Lauren) and MORE are all available to you. Speaking of Lauren, she is the ABOSLUTE BEST!! If you want a coordinator who is not only helpful and available to you throughout the entire wedding planning process, but is also super supportive and truly focused on making your vision come true, Lauren is your girl!!! When the pressure and anxiety started building up, Lauren was my sounding board and bringer of peace and calm. She's so easy to get along with, funny, and runs a well-oiled machine. She's a rockstar and does right by her brides! On top of that, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful!! I am beyond satisfied with Lake House! They were a huge part in making our wedding day the absolute best day of my life.

booking Lake House Reception Center. When my wife and I arrived for our appointment, we were in awe of the beautiful venue grounds and building. The interior is ornate and perfect for a regal wedding, and we were given a royal welcome. Lauren, the owner and coordinator, was a joy to work with. She’s a straight shooter and knows everything about the industry, which gave us the comfort and confidence to book with her. Over the year and a half process, she was extremely communicative and attentive. She really is an advocate for couples and helped make our day perfect. We are so grateful for her, the wonderful staff, and Lake House Reception Center.

ate, drank and didn’t have to worry about anything. Lauren even helped calm our kids down when they were having melt downs right before our ceremony. Truly wonderful people!! The food and drinks were top notch also. People are still raving about our wedding. You will not be disappointed if you choose this lovely venue! Thank you for everything Lake House!

r a wedding, a corporate party, and more. The Grounds outdoors are beautiful, and the indoor areas are well decorated. The food is always a wonderful selection of southern goodness. You should definitely check it out!!

lism, made it a truly exceptional experience.

l of our guests were impressed with the menue. Lauren and her staff created a beautiful and went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Lauren for everything. We could not have chosen a better place for our wedding!

and every email. They also were able to schedule phone calls with me when ever necessary.

appreciated that the DJ played exactly the kind of dance music we wanted and that he did tone it down so we could actually have conversations. The committee received many complimentary comments from all who attended. Having a handicapped entrance was also helpful. Hope to have another big reunion in 5 years!

owers were hand delivered to the church.The venue was immaculate and the food exceptional. Our guests made a point to compliment us on our reception at The Lake House. We would rate their performance with as many stars as permitted, five seems too few!

ir beautiful facilities and with their personal and professional staff has been a joy for our school families and our staff. Whether our event was during the day or in the evening, all of our expectations have been met. Working with Lake House Reception Center management has been seamless and all at a fair price. I strongly recommend your consideration of their excellent services and soon enjoy their beautiful grounds, pond, exceptional Southern Charm and atmosphere.

t hosts and worked with us on every detail! All of our attendees have been asking when will be doing another one because they think the Lake House is a beautiful venue in a prime location!

nds are beautiful and make for great pictures. Highly recommend!

rsed in the business. She thought of so many important pre-ceremony and reception details that my husband and I would have otherwise overlooked and helped the timing of it all to work seamlessly. I gave her my vision and she truly brought it to life and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Lauren!!!!

s, everything worked out great. Thanks Lauren for everything, we appreciated it! And congrats on your upcoming wedding!

and the wrap around porch are pretty. Inside there are mantles/fireplaces and chandeliers and lots of windows! We booked our reception with Lake House a couple months before COVID started. Once we realized this wasn’t going away before our wedding in December, we decided to meet with Lauren to discuss postponing. We were able to come to an agreement on a new date the following December (2021). Lauren helped us orchestrate picking up samples of the food so we could make our menu selections. She was also always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. When I waited too long to order my flowers, she did them herself and they were BEAUTIFUL. I do not recommend this though, she has enough to do without doing flowers! She seemed to just fill in all the holes that I missed. Like a wedding super hero or something! She and the rest of the staff were amazing before and during our party. Regularly asking if we needed anything to drink/eat (because we all know how thirsty you’ll be when you get stuck talking to that relative that you can’t get away from lol). Lauren suggested that we use our “signature drink” for our toasting photos and even thought to not get the sugar on the rim of my glass so it wouldn’t mess up my lipstick! She literally thought of ALL the things - like she’s done this before or something! I cannot thank Lauren and her staff for making our day as easy and enjoyable as possible. All of our guests raved about the food and how beautiful everything was!

Chris took excellent care of everyone. The food was great! I recommend the boudin balls, spicy corn dip and mini muffulettas!! They packaged all our leftover food for us to take home. Something I appreciated very much. We had 95 in attendance and there was plenty of space for seating and dancing. The Lake House is especially beautiful for an evening reception. You will love it!!!❤️

d out beautifully! The decor was great, the food was great, and the staff was super attentive throughout the whole night.

it was absolutely perfect. The BEST part about booking Lake House is Lauren - she is so good at her job its scary. The day of the wedding she coordinated everything down to the little details so I had nothing to worry about. She even brought me a drink after the ceremony to calm my nerves. I can't even begin to tell you how valuable this is. I've seen most venues do little to nothing on the day of. I am so grateful for Lauren and her whole team for giving me the wedding I've always dreamed of. I would recommend them to anyone!

es. When we decided to push back our "big day" celebration, we decided also to still have a "little day," which the Lake House BEAUTIFULLY accommodated. Our family had a lovely time, the venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the amazing staff was so supportive and helpful. Also, pictures here turn out STUNNING!!

s of the wedding, but they were always flexible, patient and understanding. They eased all of my concerns. I wanted to fit all 130 guests in the ballroom and they made it happen with no issues and plenty of space to dance. Lakehouse is a beautiful venue, both outdoors and in. The flowers were fabulous too. Lauren did a great job with the arrangements. Seriously, the staff went above and beyond to make our day run beautifully and smoothly.

the photographer. The monthly payments made it easier on our budget. Everything was taken care of so we could relax and enjoy it.

enough that whatever past issues had been resolved. They were a pleasure to work with and made my daughter's dream wedding come to life. Even the inevitable hiccups on the wedding day were addressed promptly and professionally. Lauren is the best and will make you feel at ease in the middle of the wedding day chaos.

sample the food before we picked the menu. (The stuffed mushrooms are amazing!) The lake is gorgeous and the building is classic but my favorite thing about the whole experience was the spacious bridal suite! The staff brought me and the bridesmaids mimosas and a tray of food and we had our own little dance party before the wedding. I loved every minute of the experience and felt like they cared about me and my family.

us. The staff members were a dream to work with––very accommodating, helpful, and gracious. They quickly addressed any concern I brought to them. The food was wonderful and healthy and perfectly timed. The setting was simply beautiful. Our workshop attendees gave the the venue top ratings. Dr. Julie Nelson LA Psychological Assn

ding needs ! Full catering.

better venue!

uren about two weeks before our wedding. There seemed to be more communication problems as we neared the wedding. i.e. when we could bring decorations to the venue, the arrangement of tables and placement of things. Everything came together nicely on the day of though! One thing that did happen during the reception was the bridal party toast during the cake cutting. Someone asked me if I would like the bridal party to have glasses and toast with us (which should have been previously discussed, but wasn't), I said yes and we waited around for glasses, but after about 5 minutes, we went ahead and cut the cake. We never did get the champagne glasses for the bridal party. That is one picture I wish we would have had the opportunity to have. Overall, we had the perfect day and are happy with how things turned out.

ll the leftovers for us to take home. The grounds and building are lovely and we got some phenomenal wedding pictures. All our guests had a great time. The pricing was great for what we got. Would recommend!

prepare for the ceremony inside and it was just as beautiful. The flowers came from Lake House florist and they couldn't have been any prettier. Food was delicious and I'm hearing nothing but compliments. David, Jennifer and the rest of the Lake House staff were just absolutely amazing to me! It's definitely a night to remember!

ling to work around your schedule. I can't say enough great things about my wedding day. The food was phenomenal. All my guests are still talking about the shrimp dip.

g after I specifically said I did not want something multiple times & they still did it anyway! I also feel like we overpaid because here you have to pay for your vendors to eat & drink--mine did not eat or drink. We went home with so many leftovers because some guests did not show and including our vendors in our headcount.

y multiple times at the reception, was ugly and rude to all of my venders, dressed and a white tank top and black tights, and was completely unorganized. She ran around Ll night like a maniac and I could never find her. The food ran out and they forgot to set up my cake. I had to wait 20 minutes for knives and plAtes to cut my cake. And when I called to complain, they dismissed my complaint. I am not happy with them at all. The red headed lady was AWFUL and even told my venders at one point "I run this shit, not her". Please pass on this place. It's sad, because it has so much potential

ork with.

swering my questions.. She told us we didn't need to bring anyone to the rehearsal except the MOH and Best Man and it would take 15 minutes. That sounds ridiculous. I didn't want my bridal party to be confused the day of. As far as the rehearsal, We were given a time slot of 5pm and when we got there, there was another rehearsal just starting. I was NOT pleased and it took over an hour to finish. Considering I only had 5 BM, that's a bit long. The wedding coordinator they had did not seem organized. The wedding, I was VERY angry when I was told there was a party ending at 5pm, the day of, and my wedding was to begin at 7pm. Since I was getting married there, my band needed at least 2 hrs to set up. We were told we couldn't get there till 5:30. Margaret did agree to let the band show up at 5 to set up, but didn't let them in when they got there at 5.. I disregarded her 5:30 timeline because my photographer wanted us there earlier and I did not want to be rushed. I was highly disappointed with the service and they way things are ran. The venue is a beautiful place, however, I will not be returning.

d the latest contract and they charged us 600.00 for 30 minutes before we even left the venue. We advised of the contracts and they said we must have changed the time on the contract. I was completely upset and it ruined the rest of my wedding night. We were told people would serve the food at the buffet but of was self serve. We thought they would serve the bridal party while sitting. They did not. Just a lot of unmet expectations. Very unhappy.

d like most of my requests were an annoyance to him. He did not do a run-through of the wedding during the rehearsal time. He simply explained to each person separately where they needed to walk and. It was never explained to me that we would NOT be doing a walk-through during the rehearsal time. By the time I realized he was just explaining things to people, nearly an hour had passed. This led to my bridal party standing the wrong place, my officiant forgetting to include a song, and slightly disappointing pictures. Not doing a real rehearsal also made me feel more uncomfortable standing in front of so many people because I was unsure of little things like when to turn and where to put my hands. All of this could have been avoided by doing a true rehearsal. When reflecting on my wedding, I realized everything that went slightly wrong had something to do with their day of coordinator , Will. He placed the head table in the wrong place, which messed up the seating assignments I had spent time on. He also nearly forgot to save the top of the wedding cake,which is pretty standard and we discussed saving the top of the cake twice. They all were simple things that could've been avoided by their staff honoring my requests and more careful planning on their part. I loved the space at the Lake house, but my experience with the staff was disappointing. I would recommend following up in writing with any specific requests you make to the Lake house for your wedding and emphasizing the rehearsal piece. I'm very grateful I had an amazing team of friends who helped with decorations and coordinating the events the day of. My friends proved to be of way more value to me on my wedding day than the staff at the Lake house.

d experience - for example, the food that should have been given to the guests were eaten and taken by the kitchen staff. How does a buffet become limited on servings when it just opened? We were served tea, water, lemonade, and soda in plastic cups usually used for alcoholic drinks. The "professional" cake cutters were "professional" at butchering both cakes. Other logistics that staff assured me would be taken care of never happened, such as ensuring that all parties needing to speak during the wedding would have a mic. Not to mention how the staff failed to agree to relay the same lie to us during rehearsal. It is unacceptable how Lake House treated this local celebrity's special occasion. I paid full price for substandard treatment.
