This is one of the prettiest venues! The owners are so incredible and help make planning and the day of as stress free as possible! They offer so many things that you can’t find an...
ywhere else! They are so reasonably priced for what they do for you! They have decor that they will set up and take down for you. So many signs and options! Many venues that are twice the price will make you stay and clean the entire place and don’t offer any kind of help! Tim and Marsha are the sweetest people and so gracious! They helped plan, gave vendor recommendations to help you find the best for a good price! I highly recommend Lakeside! It’s such a beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor ceremony options! Beautiful back porch with heat provided (some venues charge you for heat) that overlooks the lake! Great suites for bride/bridesmaids and groom/groomsmen to get ready! Beautiful bar area! All around such a beautiful and affordable venue! Can’t wait to see all the amazing pictures showing off such a beautiful place!
We had our wedding here on March 30th, 2025. Our experience here was fabulous! The venue was absolutely beautiful and Marcia took care of everything we needed! She was always on ha...
nd to ask if we needed help with anything. Our guests were so impressed with this location. I would give them a million stars if I could!
The venue itself is GORGOUS and very clean. We just had a lot of complaints from our wedding party and guest about the owner being rude to them. When we booked this venue we was to...
ld they would be on site for the wedding but would be in the back incase they were needed. She was out the entire time. She fussed about a back door being open. They are NOT kid friendly at all! A guest daughters shoe had left a black mark on the floor and she mentioned in front of our guest that they had another wedding the next day and if shes left black marks then we would be charged another 300$ for a cleaning fee. They provide all decor with is GREAT! We was suppose to have a cross at the ceremony. When the husband bought it from the back, one of the kids was in the way and he almost ran them over with the cross. You only get one hour for rehearsal AND decorating the night before. We had a bridal party of 20 so one hour and getting all their outfits and our own decor inside was really VERY stressful! We had a very experienced wedding coordinator who let the owner know the night before that she was very rude to us. 10 minutes after our hour she was turning off all of the lights in the venue. The day of the wedding you only get 10 hours. All of my girls had to get ready at home because the cost for one additional hour was $500. Im just mostly upset that all of my guest felt like she was rude. She was everywhere I turned the day of the wedding. The entier grooms suits said she was very nasty with them. The venue is decently sized for a wedding of about 100. The lake is beautiful for pictures. The bridal and groom suit is very nice. The dance floor is VERY small. The back patio is amazing though, with fire pits and couches. Our day is already gone, but if I could go back, we would have chose a different venue that was equally priced.
Communication could of been a little better.
Venue it's self was amazing .
The day of everyone was very helpful .

We met the owners of Lakeside Venue at Pioneer at a Bridal Expo in Greenville, SC and from the beginning they were so kind and friendly! They were excellent to work with to schedul...
e a tour, and they offered so much advice from their experience as we walked around. The pricing was very reasonable, the grounds and building are beautiful with multiple possible ceremony locations. The venue offers existing decorations that are amazing as is or as a base to add to, all at no extra cost! They have a kitchen and side room for caterers, multiple restrooms, and both bride and groom rooms for getting ready. The owners also had excellent recommendations for vendors we needed, and we ended up using two that they recommended. The owners were very accessible for questions leading up to the wedding and let us come back for a second tour later when we needed to make final decoration decisions. They are genuinely caring individuals who want the day to do well for each couple! Would definitely recommend them!
We got married here on 10.10.20 and it was absolutely magical. It rained on our wedding day and we were planning an outdoor ceremony it was so easy to just move it inside and every...
thing was perfect. Our family and friends raved about how beautiful the location was. Marcia was super helpful throughout the whole process. She even helped us have our rehearsal dinner right on site. We would get married here 100 more times if we could.Thank you so much Marcia
