We could not have asked for a better venue. Not only did they embrace our creativity, they encouraged it. When we first visited trout lake we loved the lake view center, but had concerns it would fit our ginormous family and 10 piece salsa ba...
nd. Mark read our minds and suggested we check out “the arena” which was part of the property seldom used for wedding receptions. We fell in love with it instantly and the encouragement to make the space our own allowed us to transform it into something magical with bistro lighting strung from the support beams, an endless dancefloor, a second floor section for the DJ, and plenty of room for a 10 piece salsa band. Trout lake was overly supportive of our multiple trips and meetings to the venue to make sure everything would be just right. Vanessa’s ability to consume all of the information we threw at her and then execute it into the perfect event left us feeling like she is either a magician or has multiple twins. Morgan and Lucy also killed it. I showed up early on wedding day to drop off some last minute stuff and they were already there finishing the set up hours ahead of time to make sure everything went well. The rest of the day I could not look up without seeing them ready to pounce on any ask that we could have. This venue truly was amazing in the fact it had everything. Perfect ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception areas. Everywhere you looked was an awesome spot for a photo. Food was great. Staff was over accommodating. The planning process was easy. Truly top of their field.

rest. The day of our wedding was completely stress-free because they had everything under control and were there with us every step of the way if we needed something. Everyone was kind and fun and felt like they all felt like they were celebrating with us, not just working. All of the food was incredible and the late-night food was such a hit! (I highly recommend to any couple.) My girls and I stayed at the lake house the night before and got ready there and I 10/10 recommend this if it's available for your wedding. It made the morning of stress-free by having everyone already there. We also hosted our rehearsal at the Boat House the night before and had the best time. Huge shout out to Lucy for being an absolute angel the day of the wedding. She anticipated all of our needs beforehand and if something went wrong, I didn't even know it. We also paid for them to decorate for us, and they went above and beyond and made the place absolutely magical. I can't recommend having your wedding at Trout Lake enough. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I got engaged in Feb 2020, just as everything around us started to fall apart. When we came across the pictures of Trout Lake we knew that this was the vibe we were looking for. Our first tour was done virtually and although we w...
eren't there in person, we needed to act quick on locking this venue in as many 2020 weddings were being postponed. A few months later we were able to go onsite and realized that the pictures don't do justice and felt so much relief to know that we booked a venue virtually that we fell even more in love with in person. The venue coordinator at the time was always around to answer any questions and we never felt like we were just another couple that booked with them. We later went on our fall tasting and thought the food was pretty good! As we got closer to our wedding date, the coordinator that we have been working with decided to leave and we were introduced to the new coordinator, Vanessa. Meeting her and talking through our big day was seamless and she was able to pick up right where we left off. She is also assisted by Tanya who we met on our original tour. She has been the absolute BEST throughout our 1 1/2 years we have been working with them. Lastly, we met with Lucy the day of the wedding and felt like we knew her as long as the rest of the team. The entire staff has been a pleasure to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. They were always around making sure we had a drink in hand, enough food to eat, or any other things we may have needed. We left the decorating up to them and left them with some staged pics of what we wanted along with a box of miscellaneous items to place using their best judgement. If you are looking for a fall/rustic wedding, this is the place to be! So many photo opportunities on site and I don't doubt that the other seasons are probably just as beautiful. THANK YOU TO THE TROUT LAKE TEAM!!!!!

s beautiful views of a lake and mountains, look no further because Trout Lake has it all! As for our wedding day, the staff made everything go smoothly! My hair and makeup ran late but they graciously worked with us so that we were still able to do a first look before the ceremony. My family also arranged a surprise carriage ride for me and my husband during cocktail hour which we loved but it did cut into being able to get photos with our families and bridal party during that time. Trout Lake was so accommodating though - they gave us some extra time between cocktail hour and the reception to get our photos. That truly meant the world to me! They were wonderful to work with and checked in with me through the day to see if I needed anything. The food was great and all of our guests had a great time. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!!

I typically don’t review places even if i’m unhappy with it, but this entire experience was unacceptable. If I could give this venue 0 stars, I would. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding here recently, and was beyond disappointed and disgusted with...
the lack of professionalism in the people at this venue. Your wedding venue is supposed to take some of that stress off of you, instead this place added so much more. Let’s start with when we arrived to drop off all the wedding decor: We were “greeted” by someone who called the bride “Melissa” when that wasn’t even her name. Not only did we have so much to carry, but not one person out of the 3 that were there offered to help us. We arrived at 4pm to drop off the stuff, the rehearsal was at 6. As I’m carrying boxes down the steps, pregnant by the way, the girl tells me “the rehearsal isn’t until 6 so when you’re done you will have to wait in the parking lot, you can’t wait inside.” Excuse me? One, who says that, two we needed to get dressed anyway, we didn’t intend to stay. Fast forward to the rehearsal. Not one of the staff were friendly, it actually looked as if we were inconveniencing their day. They proceed to tell my friend and her husband that they have to set up their own wedding decor the DAY of the wedding. Not only set it up themselves but they wanted them to pay per hour to do so. Is that a joke? They paid almost 30,000 to decorate their own wedding? When they requested to speak to the owner, who was clearly on premise, they didn’t show their face. They instead told the staff member they could come at 10am to set up but still had to pay $125. Absolutely pathetic if you ask me. What exactly did they pay for? Just to use the space? Not once the day of the wedding did anyone even say “congratulations you look beautiful” “do you need anything?” Instead we just got barked orders at as to where we needed to be or what we COULDNT DO. The view was beautiful, I will give it that. But I wouldn’t ever in my life recommend this place to anyone. You almost ruined my best friends day. Kind of crazy that one of the reasons she picked this place was because you told her you took pride in yourselves for the fact that you don’t tack on every little cost like all the other venues, when that is in fact EXACTLY what you did. And you should truthfully give your staff training in empathy and professionalism. Maybe then you can treat the next bride how they should be treated.

If you're thinking about having a wedding at trout lake I would rethink your venue. It was a terrible sign that every time I spoke to someone it was a new staff member and it seems like a revolving door there, they've had a new wedding planner...
four times over since we booked last year. Not a good sign. Now one of the reasons we booked with them is because when we sat with the owner he said he took pride in the fact that unlike other venues they don't charge for every little thing, but that is in fact exactly what they do. When we got to the venue they had a staff member Who barely greeted us tell us that we could put our decorations in the bridal suite but that she was not responsible if someone took them, I totally understand that concept but that's not really how you greet the couple coming to get married there. Maybe say that after saying hello, welcome, congrats etc.When I first booked with them I was told that I would have a wedding coordinator, not only one but three, and the three that worked there that night did not do anything for me, my wedding planner did everything, one of the girls didn't even fix my dress before I walked it down the hall with my father and she was standing right there.Right before our rehearsal dinner we were informed that we could not bring our decorations in and set up until 230 when our wedding literally started at 4:30. We asked them how they expect us to do that and they just shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't know. When we asked if there was any possible way we could do it sooner they told us we would be charged hourly to come in earlier, and that is not some thing they talked about until that day, he felt trapped we had no other option. But to ask if we could come earlier and pay more money. They totally blindsided us. My three year old popped one confetti pop in our bridal suite and when they saw it they told my wedding planner that they're charging us extra for a cleanup. Thankfully my wedding planner did not tell me about any of this until after the night because she already knew how frustrated we were at them. At the end of the night they started packing in the tables and chairs before our guests even left, our wedding ended at 10 PM and they were folding up those chairs by 9:50, some of my guests photos even got thrown out on the tables by staff members. When we were leaving they informed us five minutes before 10 PM that we had and then take all of our decorations that night out of the venue. We were baffled, they did not mention that prior and we had just gotten married we were not expecting to drag all of our decorations out that minute. They were completely unaccommodating and handed me my cake in a box as we gathered all of our decor as fast as we could.They didn't congratulate us, they didn't save a plate for us, they didn't help us, they were cold rude and totally unprofessional. In my opinion this place is charging people at a venue level but they cannot properly perform at a venue level. Trout Lake is not a wedding venue I would ever recommend again after my experience.   I didn't plan on saying anything but seeing as though they are already posting about their wedding tonight that they're having congratulating the couple that's there when they didn't even say a word to us, take one photo, or tag us in anything, it's a huge slap in the face. Don't use trout lake as your venue if you want to be welcomed and feel congratulated as a newly married couple.

We had our wedding on Sep. 11, 2021 and everything was absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, the day was absolutely perfect. Vanessa, the day of coordinator, was extremely helpful from the day she started with Trout Lake until the end of ...
our big day. ALL of the staff were incredibly polite, going far above the call of duty to help where needed. I couldn’t walk past a staff member without them telling me how beautiful I looked or being asked if I needed anything. That little bit of extra attention goes so far to make your day less stressful and more enjoyable. The food was excellent, we received so many compliments. The indoor/outdoor space was beautiful. I especially love how much space is available for cocktail hour. Everything was absolutely perfect! I will continue to go out of my way to recommend Trout Lake to anyone who’s looking for the perfect venue! My only piece of advice for brides/constructive criticism for the venue is to make sure you’re both on the same page as to where a cigar bar will be set up if you opt to have one. My impression was that it would be set up during cocktail hour and that no smoking was allowed on the upper deck, which is what I wanted. Unfortunately it was done on the upper deck, during the reception. I wasn’t thrilled but I will say that my guests loved it and that’s what mattered most to me. Just make sure if you’re doing this to confirm this detail ahead of time :)

l as the Finger Lake Region of New York, Trout Lake was one of the BEST! The venue is the perfect combination of rustic, modern, and elegance. I am starting to notice the down trend of old barn style weddings compared to our 2017 Season. Trout Lake has the rustic atmosphere outside with a beautiful landscape and countless number of photo opportunities right on sight. They are able to bring subtle rustic vibes inside combining with modern amenities. The history of the venue is very unique as well. From a DJs point of view this was one of the easiest weddings to setup for. Their cocktail area space downstairs was equipped with a professional connection for our Laptop and a very modern sound system. This drastically cut down on our setup time. Upstairs in the main reception area the layout was very adequate. The space over looks the lake and is extremely beautiful. This was the first venue that offered additional space for all of the vendors to stow their gear bags during the reception as well. Their coordinator CJ was always accessible and was on top of everything. She did a phenomenal job and was very accommodating. As soon as I walked into setup I knew this was going to be a fun crew to work with. I highly recommend checking out this venue if you are planning a Poconos wedding and want the perfect combination of rustic, modern, and most importantly elegance. I can not wait to work at this venue again!

rom foreign countries such as Australia, Great Britain, and Ireland. They requested to extend their visas just to be a part of the wedding. Who does that? Except for incredibly wonderful people! The venue was amazing! This is a real gem of a wedding site. The food absolutely delicious. And I can't rave enough about Cj, who was in charge of the whole event. She made my daughter's day a complete remarkable experience. The weather didn't cooperate, but that didn't matter. Everything was well taken care of. I highly recommend Trout Lake, and cannot thank everyone involved enough! Rob P.

If I could get married over and over again, it would always be here. From the perfect views to CJ and the incredible staff, this place and the people here are magical. We got married October 13th and our guests are still raving about the space,...
the food, and the amazing service provided. CJ was a dream to work with throughout the entire process. Not only was she always there to answer my binder of questions, but she was able to deal with the entire wedding party, set up everything I brought exactly as I envisioned, and truly put my mind at ease when I started to become overwhelmed with the day-of emotions, all with an infectious smile on her face. Being pescatarian and gluten-free, they were able to easily accommodate my diet and even went the extra mile as to accomodate my grandmother who cannot have a variety of spices. We ended up having our ceremony, reception, AND rehearsal dinner at Trout Lake and my husband and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Every square foot of the place lends itself to gorgeous pictures and a perfect backdrop to say "I do". We truly cannot thank Trout Lake enough for being a huge part in pulling off the perfect wedding.

We used Trout Lake Retreat Center as the venue for our wedding reception, and overall we were satisfied with our experience. The grounds are nice, and the indoor/outdoor setup worked well with the weather cooperating for our party. People reall...
y spread out down towards the lake, onto the deck, and on the dance floor, and we and our guests really appreciated the entire space. Once you get inside the reception room, you feel the true size of the space – pictures can be deceiving. We used up-lighting to help accentuate the tall ceilings, and the deck has built-in lighting that worked well with that. There is also plenty of parking, and shuttle buses work well with the venue. There is a handicap drop off point closer to the building. CJ, the on-site coordinator at Trout Lake, was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. We live a couple hours away, so most of our communications were via email, but we usually got quick replies. She worked with us on a couple of customizations in particular and was helpful and patient with us. We had our own wedding coordinator who she also worked well with. Trout Lake serves their own food and alcohol, which must be purchased through them in separate packages. There are top-shelf or bottom-shelf options for alcohol. The food was good; there were a lot of options and the food quality exceeded expectations. They include the wedding cake in the packages, which they can work with you to customize the icing style and light decorations on it. Ceremonies can also be held on the property, but we had ours elsewhere. A couple downsides to this venue include that you cannot start setup until 2pm on the day of your event (unless you elect the option to rent the entire property for the weekend). Also, it was unexpectedly warm on our wedding day and either the upstairs room does not have AC, or they were not running it, so it got a little warm in there during dinner. With the doors open onto the deck, there was a light breeze and once the sun went down it was perfect temperature. Overall, we highly recommend this place as a modern yet rustic venue set in nature for your event!

Oh and the best thing was everyone loved the food! With both my husband and I being professional chefs as well as some of our guests, food is a very big deal. I am still receiving complements on the entire wedding, the venue both indoor and out are breathtaking, the staff was super friendly, the food was fantastic, everyone had a great time and the price was so reasonable compared to any other venue in the lehigh valley. I am truly grateful to everyone at Trout Lake that made our day as perfect as I could have ever dreamed.
