The Sojourn Lakeside Resort was an amazing wedding venue. Everything starting from our initial contact with Joy, to booking the resort, having the rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception was fantastic. The people we worked with - Joy and Rob w...ere both outstanding individuals with top-notch personalities, and clearly a
genuine interest in ensuring our ideas and needs were met. Joy did a great job providing a document with recommended vendors who are familiar with this resort, and know how to make things run smoothly. Rob coordinated our wedding rehearsal, and did an awesome job rounding up everyone to ensure that they understood what to do during the wedding. On the day of the rehearsal we explained that we had a playlist of songs that we wanted to play during the rehearsal, and that we planned to use a Bluetooth speaker for audio. Rob immediately said while this was possible, he would set up an audio system for the wedding and that all we would have to do would be to plug in the music. On the day of the wedding he coordinated us again, and throughout the night had a wonderfully happy personality. Summary of the staff: Joy and Rob aren't just adequate, they are above and beyond.
The resort itself has 20 rooms and sits on a beautiful, small-sized lake. The resort features a welcome center that was used by the bridal party to get ready for the wedding, a hospitality room with tables, fridge/freezer, coffee pot, microwave, toaster, etc., tennis court, volleyball court, fire pit, pool, water-raft in the lake, paddle boards, kayaks, a great room that is used for the reception, and many other amenities. The location and the resort are both beautiful, and left us wanting nothing.
What we hoped for our wedding, was to have a celebration that was about more than us - the bride and groom. We wanted our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception to be a fun and relaxing time that our guests could equally enjoy Sojourn Lakeside Resort was perfect in this regard. Since everything we did was contained on site, the resort served as a family meeting/reunion site of sorts where everyone could spend the weekend relaxing, enjoying the beautiful weather, pool, and lake. After our event, our guests stated just that - how great it was to have a weekend getaway at the lake spent with family and friends during the day, and then being able to walk over to the wedding/reception when the time came.
We can't recommend this venue enough.
