Camp Lindenmere

If you're hesitant about hosting your wedding at a summer camp, don't be! Choosing Camp Lindenmere was the best decision we could have made. We toured a few camp venues but ultimately chose Lindenmere because of its incredible staff, beautifully maintained grounds and cabins, and elevated food options throughout the entire weekend. If you have family members who prefer the comforts of a hotel, there are nearby option, but after seeing photos of the accommodations and menus, even our pickiest relatives chose to stay at camp and didn't regret it for a second. From the moment you arrive for your first tour through the farewell breakfast at the end of the weekend, the Camp Lindenmere team makes you feel like family. We've never met a friendlier group of people. Kyle, Elliott, Jacq, and the entire camp staff were always ready to help with anything we needed. When we arrived for the wedding weekend, the staff took our planning binder and decor, told us not to worry about a thing, and they meant it. We were able to fully enjoy the weekend with our friends and family instead of stressing over logistics. We spent our time relaxing, playing games, tie-dyeing shirts, dancing, enjoying a well-attended pickup soccer match, and even hosting an 8:00 a.m. polar plunge in the lake! Jacq made sure drinks and snacks were always available, whether we were by the lake or at dinner, and every detail was taken care of. One of the most special parts of having a camp wedding was watching our guests truly connect. Instead of spending just a few hours together, everyone had an entire weekend to mingle, make new friends, and create memories. Our guests are still telling us how much fun they had, sharing photos from the weekend, and asking us to help them stay connected. As a bride, I was a little nervous about what would happen if it rained, but I can honestly say you shouldn't worry. Camp Lindenmere has plenty of covered space to accommodate every part of your wedding. When a sudden storm rolled through during our outdoor ceremony, Kyle and his team moved everything under a pavilion incredibly quickly so we could continue without missing a beat. The rain didn't dampen the celebration, if anything, it made our ceremony even more memorable. If you're looking for a wedding that feels less like a single day and more like an unforgettable weekend experience, we can't recommend Camp Lindenmere enough.

11/10 wedding. I’d rate it higher, but I don’t want to risk sounding sarcastic! My wife (yay) and I have been to A LOT of weddings in the past couple years, and one thing that we noticed time and time again was that we were all celebrating the couple, but it we never actually got to hang out with the couple. Between all the pictures, the stress, the speeches, the hellos to distant relatives, the only time we actually spend with the bride and group is usually a little during cocktail hour and a couple seconds as we fist pump to Mr Brightside during the reception. When visioning what we wanted out of our wedding weekend, we knew the number 1 priority was finding a place that could accommodate guests, so that we could at least spend an evening and a morning with close friends and family. We wanted a weekend where we could celebrate, but also spend genuine quality time with our loved ones. This led us to looking at bed and breakfasts and campsites, but nothing really felt right. Then we stumbled upon Camp Lindenmere, and as soon as we took a tour we knew it was the place for us. We are both very active and sporty people, so having the campground to play with our friends and family was amazing. There was truly something for everyone - we got to play sports with our active friends, drink all day from the beer/snack cart, trails for the runners in the group, there was arts and crafts and a lake with a beach front for the less sporty, a pool, and GYM and the list goes on and on. The cabins are updated and cozy, plenty of space for our entire guest list for about 150, and the private rooms are nicer than some hotels we’ve stayed in. If accommodations at a camp are scary, I assure you the accommodations blew everyone’s expectations away. The food catered by camp and I kid you not, at least 90% of our guests stopped us in passing to tell us that they will never eat a potato or sweet potato fry as good as the ones at Camp Lindenmere. The wedding space was beautiful, spacious and inviting. Kyle and Elliott were our go to guys, and helped us through the planning process. They kept everything organized and easy going, giving us feedback along the way to ensure the wedding was smooth sailing, affordable and unforgettable. They truly wanted the weekend to be our vision, and helped us as much as they could every step of the way. They listened to what we wanted and accommodated whenever possible (even with some of my more ridiculous requests). You know when the bride and groom are low key stressed trying to manage behind the scenes while also being the center of attention? Prior to the weekend, we met with Kyle and Elliott and talked about what we wanted the weekend to be - down to every last detail. They asked us to make a manual of what needed to be done at all times. Because of this, my wife and I had no stress from the moment we arrived thursday to when we left of Sunday. We were fully taken care of (and our guests), and we were supported by a whole staff at camp all weekend. Our wedding was about a month ago, and people still text us to remind us how amazing our wedding weekend was. Not just because of the activities, but because of the extra quality time we got to spend with our friends and family. So thank you once again to the team - Kyle, Elliott, Lewis, Jacque, and many more for making our dream weekend come to life. When are we running it back? (just the party part, we intend on staying married! Haha)
