While it was the stunning beauty of Lakeview Farms that caught our attention initially, it was the Lakeview Farms team that really made for a stress free planning experience and an... unforgettable day. Despite being the cheapest venue we toured, it had the most to offer and was by far the most beautiful. Other venue tours pointed out good photo ops throughout the tour. The entire property at Lakeview Farms is kept up to such a high standard that it doesn't matter where you're standing or which direction your photographer is standing, the background of every photo is gorgeous. Every angle is a photo op. One of the major and unique benefits of Lakeview is that they have a whole closet full of decorations that anyone can use for no added cost. You can also view other wedding setups to see how other couples incorporated the decor for inspiration and theres so much to choose from. Not only does it save you so much money in decor, but it also eliminates the stress and hassle of trying to fit all your leftover decor into cars to take home and store until you can donate or try to resell for less than what you paid initially. Another unique benefit of Lakeview Farms is the use of internal and external connections that they have. They offer decorating, bartending, and linen services that can be hired through the venue for very affordable prices and they already have experience at the venue and working with their team. Externally, Lakeview provides a list of recommended vendors including food, music, photography, cake/dessert, and more that they have had good experiences with and that are also familiar with the venue. Coordination is made so much easier when your vendors are familiar with the venue and the team. Our day of coordinator, Laurie Ruby, was provided to us by Lakeview Farms for no added cost and she was absolutely fabulous. She communicates well, shes organized and detailed, she met with us 2 weeks prior to the wedding to nail down all the last minute things we needed to go over, and she was so accommodating and patient with all of our crazy requests including our desire to have our two pugs in the wedding, one which was our ring bearer. Our guests continue to rave about how gorgeous our venue was and how perfect everything was. Don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself!
