About This Vendor

Northern Indiana's Ultimate barn wedding venue

Lakeside Occasions isn't just any old barn wedding venue. We were one of the first in our region and have made steady strides since our first official season in 2014. Since then, we've gained invaluable hands-on experience in the barn weddings business and we might be biased, but believe our quality and customer service is second to none! So, you ask, "What do you have that the others don't?" *Well, first and foremost, our property is drop-dead gorgeous. We are set on a small, but beautiful lake in the heart of Northern Indiana's Amish Country and we have the most stunning landscaping/flowers spread throughout the grounds, especially in the summertime. And our sunsets are insane! *We have wide open spaces for your guests to wander while you take pictures in newlywed bliss. (And the photo opps are endless!) *Our indoor spaces are air conditioned/heated for your guests' comfort. *We have real restrooms - no port-a-pot trailers. *We have THE COOLEST changing areas for you & your wedding party to get ready; A 50s themed diner with a pool table and a jaw-dropping silo in our 1880s-restored dairy barn. *Our reception space (and sometimes backup ceremony space) is naturally beautiful, so there's not much decorating required. *We offer our own bar services with qualified, certified, responsible servers & very reasonable prices on alcohol - and who else has a GRAIN BIN BAR?? *We allow you to choose whomever you want for food (as long as they're licensed), photography, music, lighting, decor, cakes/cupcakes, and more. This is YOUR wedding and we want you to have it your way! But, we also have some great recommendations if you need them, and work with some of the best Wedding Pros in the biz. Don't get "wedding envy!" Please come see us in person. I promise, you won't be disappointed! THE ONLY TOUR YOU'LL REGRET IS THE ONE YOU DIDN'T TAKE!

n August wedding. Kara was available to answer questions when needed. The price point was great if you're looking for a "classy" barn wedding. Make sure you give this venue a visit before making your final decision. We are so happy that we came across Lakeside. Our day could not have been any more perfect.

Reviewed On 6/01/2015 by Jade M
The venue was beautiful and everything was set up just the way we asked. However, the owners were watching my guests like a hawk. Post-Wedding I heard various stories about several of my guests being scolded by the owners due to smoking in a su...
pposedly non-smoking area however there were no signs anywhere designating where guests could NOT smoke. I understand their want/need to keep the property clean as well as fire hazards, but from what I understand from my guests they were not pleasant to deal with. Like I said, the wedding day was beautiful, however I don't appreciate my guests being yelled at. I think the situations could have been handled differently and with far more grace.

Thank you for taking the time to review our facility! We do hope you enjoyed your special day and are truly grateful that you chose Lakeside Occasions for your wedding! Lakeside Occasions is our home and we spend countless hours working to prov...
ide a beautiful facility so that couples can have the wedding of their dreams. We only want to make it comfortable and pleasant for all in attendance. In order to accommodate our smoking guests, we have one designated smoking area. Prohibiting smoking in other areas and making sure cigarette butts are placed in the receptacles helps us keep our property looking nice and reduces cleanup costs. We understand that your guests may not be aware where the smoking area is located, so when we see it we try to inform them in a respectful way. If we have offended anyone, we apologize, but sometimes our requests are not honored. We will be posting more signage in the near future, however too many signs takes away from the beauty of the property.

My background is in TV news, however, after having a baby in 2014, my husband and I decided to move to his hometown and I joined the family wedding venue business. I am having a blast working with the wonderful couples who have chosen our barn venue for the most important day of their lives. I truly enjoy helping you design the wedding of your dreams!
