Sugar Lake Lodge

uldn't have done it without Nadine. You never would have known we didn't spend years planning what was the perfect wedding.

usband and I were engaged on October 31, 2021 and by November 1st we had a stack of 10 venues to look at. Sugar Lake stood out to us the most and it was the first one we wanted to see! By November 6th, only 6 days after our engagement, and one venue visit we were booked with Sugar Lake! It was the best decision we could have ever made! When we sat down with Nadine and Steve after touring the venue we just knew immediately it was it for us. Other options were not even a thought after stepping foot on Sugar Lake. Nadine, the event planner, is so unbelievably creative and took our vision to heart and made it a true reality. She was attentive and patient and always supportive and understanding of our needs. She told us on the first day that she wanted us to experience as little stress as possible and that she would make our day so special. We took a leap and trusted her completely and my goodness she did not disappoint! It is so evident that she puts her everything into her work and wholeheartedly means it. My husband and I had no doubts in her abilities and were so pleased with what she did for us! Her and her assistants were meticulous in their work and truly, the amount of compliments we received from guests was astounding! It’s one thing to love everything yourselves but for it to be 3 months later and your guests are still talking about it says something. I think it’s important for every bride to know that Nadine genuinely wants you both to be as stress free as possible. I loved how the packaging was set up and so many things were taken care of! Even down to their preferred vendors who also did amazing work for us! Looking back I really do not think I could have made my wedding exactly how I wanted without Nadine’s help. No way between work and life could it have been done for me. I am so beyond grateful my husband found Sugar Lake and we were blessed with such a wonderful experience all around. If you’re looking for as little stress as possible, Sugar Lake is the way to go! I think it’s important to know that I struggle with anxiety in general and Nadine honestly put me so much at ease and that is so important to me. My Husband and I also had the pleasure of having Steve, the owner, as our officiant. Steve did a wonderful job and really was able to personalize the ceremony for us which was so special and meaningful to us! Steve also helped coordinate the day and was there whenever you needed him. Steve and Nadine make such an incredible team! It truly took me so long to write this review partly because of my hectic life schedule but also because I wanted to make sure I could convey everything in writing that I wanted to. And honestly as I sit here and do this, I’m finding I still can’t finds the words to do our experience justice. For most, your wedding day is one of the most momentous days of your life. We all have dreams of what it will look like and have high hopes for the absolute best. To make it simple, Our wedding on November 5, 2022 was above and beyond what we have ever dreamed it could be. Our hopes and expectations were more than met and we were truly blown out of the water. We will forever look back fondly on this day and be so unbelievably grateful for Nadine & Steve.

ting! The property itself really is stunning, and so comforting. Being able to have both our ceremony and reception there was so wonderful, and they helped fill in the details along the way. 10/10 recommend.

coordinator named Nadine who just was perfect. As I told her I wanted it stress free and the perfect day for my wife. Not only did Nadine and her father make sure it was perfect she always answered any question no matter the time or day. Now I know I might of been a lot at times with certain things but Nadine was awesome. Leading up to the wedding she always followed up asked if we needed anything and the day of made that day even more perfect. The venue and set up were stunning.The vendors she picked for us was spot on and she new what we would like. If it wasn’t for her our wedding day couldn’t and wouldn’t of been possible. All we can say is if you are looking for a beautiful venue with an experience that will blow your expectations away. Then I’d definitely use Sugar Lake lodge and contact Nadine because it was truly perfect.

go over all of the details, was always responsive and quick to reply to any questions I reached out with, and she perfectly captured the vision I had for decorations and honestly made it look even better than I expected! 10/10 recommend!

ding day is everything you could dream of! I can’t put into words how magical sugar lake lodge and all of their team is ❤️

ight chaos. The property is gorgeous and we had the best time at the cabins for our after party. Book this place!

for him! Everything was so fun and there was always something to do. The staff was so welcoming and helpful when I needed them. If I lived closer I would definitely choose Sugar Lake as my wedding venue!

tiful venue! Thanks for hosting our friends. Congrats Jesse and Brittny!

party with about 15 friends and family members and it was great to sit around a fire after a long day. Nadine and Cailin were amazing. Our day ran smoothly and we had no issues. Our day was as perfect as we could have hoped.

, rustic, elegant, outdoorsy, elevated, vintage, honestly whatever you would like it to be, it will and can be! Sugar Lake Lodge has package deals. My now Husband and I went with the diamond package. This made wedding planning so so easy! Our wedding coordinator nadine set us up with the best of the best vendors. If we ever had any issues with any (our first photographer was somewhat unresponsive) she is quick to supply you with a new contact. Even vendors that you choose outside of the package nadine will still contact them for you so you have absolutely no care in the world. The weeks leading up to my wedding were stress free! Nadine allowed me to email her or text her with any questions and was quick to respond with an answer. The day of our wedding, my husband our wedding party and parents wanted for nothing. Nadine and her assistants Cailin and Heidi were there to get us anything we needed. They were our personal servers throughout the night and would come to us so we never had to wait in line at the bar we could stay on the dance floor. At the end of the night we had special touches waiting in our honeymoon suite on property from the staff. I felt like a princess! As we were talking about our day. We both agreed there would be nothing we would change about our day. If you want a stress free wedding, choose Sugar Lake Lodge. You will be in excellent hands with Nadine.

ll set up and waiting for us. After getting ready and it was time to go, we head over to the lake for the ceremony. A short drive on an air conditioned passenger bus and we were there! The ceremony space was gorgeous!! From the rugs lining the isle way, the dried petal bar to toss at the happy couple, the beautiful antique tables and chairs used in the space. This is a fairytale wedding! Her wedding planner Nadine always made sure everything went smoothly and made sure I didn’t need anything at all times. The perfect day!

a bonus along with the guest cabins. Worth every penny!

he does and wants everything to be exactly what you want it to be!

ven more special. The guests were wowed with the space. A gem in Lake county and all set on a beautiful piece of property. It was so good that I am planning my second daughters wedding shower there as well.

e bringing the bride to the ceremony, to the last dance, every detail of this wedding will be remembered by all of the guests. We received so many compliments on this venue, the beauty of the property and the professionalism of the staff. It truly was a wedding of a lifetime.

A LOT. We especially loved working with Nadine who is a wedding coordinator at this venue. We hired her for our day of and know the wedding would not have been so perfect without her! We also rented the summer camp cabins for the night for friends and family.
