We had our wedding at Trout Lake on October 11th, 2026 and everything about the experience was excellent. Josie, the wedding coordinator, was extremely organized and kept us on track with everything. She provided us with a very straightforward, clear form to plan the wedding, as well as a list of excellent vendors. We planned our wedding from a distance since we live in New York City. (The groom’s family is from NYC and the bride’s family is from Pittsburgh.)
On the day we came for rehearsal, Anna was put in charge of our wedding and she was attentive, calm, collected, and organized. Trout Lake clearly takes training their staff very seriously.
On the day of our wedding, it was extremely rainy all day (practically a monsoon). The staff carted us around in golf carts, and had umbrellas ready on hand. We cannot stress how professional, kind, and organized the staff was.
In addition, our musicians (the bride’s friends) were a little late coming in from New York City due to traffic on Route 80. The staff was accommodating and did great working with this situation. When the musicians realized no stand was available for music, the staff found an alternative.
(Note from the bride: For future musicians, it might not be a bad idea for Trout Lake to invest in 2-3 heavy duty music stands to have on hand.)
We got married in the pavilion, and all of the guests raved about the ceremony site with its beautiful fireplace, unique antique chairs, and apple cider bar. The food at Trout Lake is EXCEPTIONAL. All of our guests would not stop talking about the food after the wedding. The bride’s sister (the maid of honor) commented that it is “the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding”. We would love to pay for another tasting just to have the food at Trout Lake even though we are already married. Yes, the food is THAT good.
We ended the night with a sparkler send off, and it closed our wedding in a perfect (and very Pennsylvania) way.

I cannot rave enough about Trout Lake and their truly phenomenal staff. Our experience was top notch from the very beginning. Josie and Anna made sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Their buoyant spirits and positive energy kept us ready to celebrate all day. While their attention to detail and calm composure made everything run so smoothly. Honestly, everything turned out absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning and provides such gorgeous setting for any wedding. The lake views, the multiple ceremony site options, the gorgeous outdoor patios/deck - everything combined creates the perfect atmosphere. And our guests can't stop raving how it is the best wedding food they've ever had!! Seriously, that pork chop!! I wish we could come do it all over again. Our wedding was exceptionally memorable thanks to Trout Lake and their amazing staff.

Their coordination with our vendors was seamless and the guest experience was terrific. So many people at our wedding kept asking us "How did you find this place?" and were showering the venue and staff with praise. The food was also incredible, especially the specialty cupcakes.
All in all, we highly recommend Trout Lake to anyone looking for a wedding venue where you get way more bang for your buck compared to other venues. Our wedding went better than either of us could have expected and it's thanks to Trout Lake for making our special day so memorable.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning—every detail of the space created such a beautiful, romantic atmosphere. We received endless compliments from our friends and family about how gorgeous everything was and how seamlessly the day flowed.
What truly set Trout Lake apart was their attention to detail and level of care. Every question we had was answered promptly, and they made sure no detail—big or small—was overlooked. The bride and groom attendants were phenomenal, always one step ahead and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Because of them, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was running smoothly and right on schedule.
And the food—wow. From the drinks to the cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres, to the plated dinner and dessert, everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests are still talking about it!
We truly cannot recommend Trout Lake and their incredible staff enough. They played such a huge role in making our wedding day perfect, and we are so grateful for their professionalism, warmth, and dedication.

From the moment we visited the facility to the wedding day, Trout Lake has been nothing short of spectacular! Our actual wedding day was phenomenal, which I had no doubt about, but...
the love and care from the staff throughout the process was incredibly impactful. The staff were oozing with professionalism, the venue is physically breathtaking, and guests are STILL talking about the food (3 weeks later)! Although the team was incredible, Joise and Anna were truly rockstars, and I could not thank them enough for all they've done to help make our wedding the most spectacular and STRESS-FREE day of my life. Also, the Lake House is AWESOME, highly recommend. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make our day special.

Anna was with me the whole day and did everything from hold my dress up to feed me hors d’oeuvres and remind me how beautiful I looked! Trout lake goes above and beyond to get to know you and your family to ensure they make your day special. In addition to all of this, the food was outstanding. My guests loved the Waikiki meatballs, spring rolls, and flank steak. I would 10000% recommend this venue. I’ve attached photos for reference taken by Nicole Goss.

y. Beyond the beauty of the venue, what made the experience unforgettable was the care, professionalism, and dedication of the Trout Lake team.
Josie, our main point of contact, guided us through every step of planning with patience, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and even enjoyable. On the rehearsal day and the wedding day itself, Anna was there to ensure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, handling all the details with calm efficiency so we could fully enjoy the moment.
Our guests kept commenting on how stunning the venue was and how well-organized everything felt. We also booked the Lake House for our family, which was cozy, comfortable, and perfect for our needs.
We are so grateful to Josie, Anna, and the entire Trout Lake team for making our wedding day truly memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Trout Lake to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a team that genuinely cares about making your day as special and stress-free as possible.

us was the staff. Through the planning process Josie was organized and accommodating as we wanted to make changes.
The day of the wedding, we were well taken care of. Anna and her team made sure we were fed during cocktail hour. They were organized and got us back on track as we stated to fall behind on time. All of the staff was adding to the environment! When there was no one at the bar I saw the bar tender grooving and as the staff were buzzing around every once in a while I would see them break out in dance. These small details make a huge difference in the environment, energy and the guests experience.
I could not recommend Trout lake any more highly!

ience with Trout Lake, as they were very informative and helpful with any questions we had. The day of was a completely different story. We hired an outside day of coordinator due to the time restriction of only having access to the venue 2 hours before our ceremony. Trout Lake's day of coordinator didn't meet with us till the 17th for rehersal. We were under the impression our DOC would run the ceremony given that she had helped us with planning. Their DOC tried to run the event, told my dog handlers to wait at the barrels until further notice (this was never the plan, they were supposed to be sent down to the maid of honr and best man). They also held our guests in the parking lot because they were "late" but they were being held 10 minutes before the start time. They also told those guests that it was my decision, I had to then go around during the reception and after the wedding to do damage control and appologize to guests and explain that was not my wish. I would have rather started late, than start without them. I was lied to multiple times when I brought these issues up to Trout Lake, which I am finding out more and more after talking to other vendors, and guests. The food at the reception was also cold, even the first tables up to get food said it was cold. Also we had multiple people tell us they were sick Saturday, suspecting it was something they ate from dinner. Again it was a beautiful day and the venue is gorgeous but the communication/coordination from Trout Lake is very laking for the ammount you pay them.

Hi Mr and Mrs Prushinski,
As a small business we strive to make our couples 100% happy ...
on their special day and we take great pride in our customer service. Our team works hard to make sure your day is exactly how you envision it to be from the moment you tour with us, until your wedding day. We stand by our transparency, as all our policies are outlined within paperwork and are accessible throughout your process with Trout Lake.
We spoke with you at length about your guests being held on ceremony start time. At Trout Lake we will always try our best to get all guests seated in a timely matter. However, if guests are late, we do hold them as soon as your ceremony precession begins. This is to ensure guests are not walking down and finding seats when our couples are walking down the aisle.
At Trout Lake we always have our Day of Coordinator here to greet you on arrival and assist you with all your needs to ensure your day is so special. We understand you had your own coordinator for your day, and we apologize there was a miscommunication between both coordinators on the day.
On your day of your wedding, you did choose our buffet menu. I can assure you that our food is served hot on the line with burners throughout the whole dinner service. We take our food service very seriously here and pride ourselves that is comes out hot, delicious and on time.
Between our customer service and food, these are our top two areas that couples and guests rave about after their wedding day. As communicated to you via phone call after your wedding, we are surprised to hear that you and a few guests feel otherwise.
We have gone above and beyond after your event to understand your concerns and help resolve any miscommunications including providing monetary compensation on aspects of your day. Our staff coordination team reviewed your email and notes from our phone call of the issues you bought up. We want to reiterate that that we are sorry you felt that way and experienced these negative feelings on your day. We understand that our venue is not for everybody, though we strive to ensure that every wedding and event that books with us has an incredible experience throughout their whole process with Trout Lake.
Thanks,
The Team and Trout Lake

very seamless leading up to the big day. Over 200 plated meals they had out - piping hot even - within half an hour for dinner service. The renovations they have made to the cocktail hour space are *chef’s kiss*. Our guests have raved to us multiple times since our wedding about the beauty of the venue and the delicious food. Trout Lake was prompt and efficient with timeline and dinner service, incredibly personable to our guests, and attended to us as the bride and groom effortlessly throughout the night. Thank you so much again for making 9/14 the best day of our lives!

ere excellent with communication, answering any questions quickly and with great detail. Their space is a gated property so you do have to make appointments or schedule any time you or any of your vendors want to spend on the property. They were very transparent with us up front and let us know that we would have to take down all of our decorations ourselves that night or we were given the option to pay to have them take it down and store in boxes overnight. We ended up paying for them to take down and store overnight and it was so worth it! All of our guests said how awesome the food was and many people raved about the cupcakes, they all thought we must’ve had a bakery or other vendor supply the cupcakes because they were that good! Seriously, I hope whoever makes the cupcakes and dessert at Trout Lake has a bakery they own on the side because they are so talented. Our day went so smooth from the arrival of our vendors, groomsmen and bridal parties, to the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! There was a small issue with communication where we were told on several occasions that the cocktail would last from 4:30 PM until 6:00 PM and then were told at 5:25 PM that the cocktail hour was ending in 5 minutes. The staff were quick to apologize and help make sure the transition to the reception went smoothly for our guests and everyone in the wedding party! There are multiple ceremony locations to choose from at the venue, all of which are stunning! We were able to still do our ceremony outside (in December!) at the newly constructed covered pavilion. There were ample heaters and an active fireplace that kept us and our guests all warm during the ceremony and made for beautiful pictures! There is also a Lakehouse available for rent for the wedding party the night of the rehearsal dinner and the night of the wedding (2 night minimum) which we highly recommend as it made travel to the venue the day of, after hair and make up, very easy! Overall this location is gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone looking to find a secluded location to get married with great food and amazing views!

ccommodating planning activities on the few occasions we were able to visit in person. They were extremely communicative during planning, and setting up deadlines for when to decide aspects of the wedding event. They were very transparent with our contract, no surprises. Trout lake had worked with many of our local vendors before, which allowed operations to run smoothly on our bid day. The staff were all energetic and excited to join our experience. Our wedding party and guests commented on how kind servers, bartenders, and attendees were. Of note, we loved seeing the bartenders enjoy our band as much as we did. Service was spectacular and as expected when we discussed how cocktail hour would be done, how food would be served to individual tables, and the timeline for completing key moments like cake cutting, dessert/coffee table, etc. You will be happy with the people you work with at Trout Lake. Regarding the property itself, the venue was absolutely stunning. They have clearly been investing back into the property/facilities because there were several new amenities available at our wedding that were not there when we booked and all were gorgeous! There were scattered rain storms on our wedding day and the venue was completely prepared for shifting to new locations if needed. The rainy day option, we’d like to add, is just as beautiful as the ideal lakefront ceremony locations. This is unique, as many other local venues pivot to less ideal indoor rainy day plans. The reception space is large and accommodated our 7-piece band, a large dance floor, and seating for 115 guests. Trout Lake is ultimately a beautiful, private, and wonderfully maintained property for a wedding. We are so happy we got married at Trout Lake, and that it was the location for some of our most precious memories. 100% would recommend.

Let me begin by saying we had booked in February 2020, and got married October 8th, 2022. Through the 2 year period that we were booked, Trout Lake had some staffing changes alongs...
ide of some additions at the venue. However I applaud the team at Trout Lake because throughout the entire process they remained consistent with communication, clear about any and all things needed, and overall with our questions they were answered promptly. The venue itself is gorgeous. There are SO many photographic locations throughout the property and the inside is equally as beautiful. Perfect ceremony, reception and cocktail areas. We also had rented the Lake House down the road for getting ready and it has a perfect lake view, rustic chic decor, and was the best photographic bridal getting ready suite I could have imagined. We were lucky with a sunny fall day for our wedding but I honestly don’t think there could be a bad day at Trout Lake. Our guests throughout the entire night just kept coming up and saying how beautiful it is and how much they enjoyed the food. Not a single person had anything negative to say about the food and drinks (and you know that’s a big thing at weddings is the food). Everything was just so flawless, I can’t say that enough.
A special shout-out is owed to Kelley and Josie. Kelley and Josie throughout our day not only kept us on time, but they made sure everything (and I mean literally everything) went off without any issues. Kelley made sure we had food from cocktail hour/reception and we never had to even go to the bar for a drink. Kelley even had a drink waiting post ceremony for us. Josie made sure our ceremony and sparkler send off happened how I envisioned it. We never had to worry about a single thing with these two the entire night. They both were SO beyond attentive. I’m so glad these two were the coordinators for our day because I am just utterly grateful for how professional, kind, and just amazing they were throughout our day. Our guests were SO impressed with the staff at Trout Lake.
Months later and people are still raving about our wedding. That should tell you something about Trout Lake. Anyone who I speak to I’ll always highly recommend the venue. Everything was beyond perfect. Trout Lake will forever hold a piece of our hearts. Two less trout in the lake!

We cannot say enough great things about this venue and the people we worked with! We had a long engagement so we did go through a few coordinators during that time but each one was...
great- especially the ones that were there on THE day: Kelley, Tanya, and their Team!
It was so convenient having Trout Lake provide just about everything right there on premise. Not only were they able to coordinate it all, but it was top tier! Our guests could not stop raving about the beauty, the food, and the service. There were even some things that we didn’t have to plan for (and didn’t even really know about) that were so impressive to us and our guests: the butlered drinks and the beer tubs at the end of the bar. There was NEVER a line at the bar!
We also rented the Lake House which actually was used for the grooms immediate family (complete with 6 young nieces and nephews!) and highly recommend it! The house and location is beautiful and it’s right down the road for easy access to the venue.
Another recommendation would be to do an after party at the boathouse! The reception was incredible but we weren’t ready to stop. Whoever wanted to stay longer headed over to the boat house for some more drinks and socializing. We turned it into our own karaoke night (groomsman brought a speaker and mic) and made even more lifetime memories!
We could not have asked for a better wedding day and it all started with Trout Lake!

eceived so many lovely compliments about our wedding venue and got asked a lot how on earth we came across this gem being we are from NJ. I wanted a Fall wedding so the location itself was beautiful, all the breathtaking views with all the fall colors and their staff was AMAZING. I have nothing but nice things to say about everyone there. They were all so kind, welcoming and loved seeing them enjoy themselves too! Tanya was so wonderful and helpful through out the process. Every question we had was always answered at a timely matter. She was unable to work the day of our wedding but left us in great hands with their team. Josie and Kelley took over and I wouldn't have stayed calm without her and her team. I was able to enjoy every moment as well as my husband. We were catered to every need and always had someone checking in on us so make sure we were okay. We were even treated to our signature drinks right outside the pavilion where we had our ceremony which btw...WOW! So beautiful!!!
The food was amazing! Again, so many compliments from our guests. I love that we were able to add an ice-cream along with out desserts. Everything was set up just the way I wanted and it all looked so beautiful. This venue was just perfection and it was everything we wanted and more. It had that beautiful rustic touch and the additions that they added were absolutely gorgeous. We highly recommend this venue!
Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

much at a great time. The team at Trout lake were great, friendly, and really help made our day perfect.
Whether you pick the outside in the two different locations to get married by the lake or even go into the woods under the beautiful covered area... Will make the ceremony look absolutely spectacular.
The food all round from the cocktail hour to the dinner to the desserts were AMAZING! I have guests asking me where I have gotten the food and desserts catered from, so they can order food to have on their own time.
The ciders, beers, and wines were all amazing too. I know it was our choices, but still it was super tasty.
We had a perfect day and I am so happy that we did the first look before everything and took all of our photos with our bridal party and family all after that. It helped safe so much time during the cocktail our and reception to party!
Trout Lake we will recommend you to everyone we know and hope to have another fun and exciting experience here with you again!

I do not even know where to begin! Our wedding was on 10/15/22. Trout Lake is the most beautiful venue, and they made our wedding day everything we wanted and more! The grounds are...
impeccable, and they are constantly updating and adding decks/pavilions to make your day perfect no matter the weather! We were blessed and had a gorgeous fall day and the fall foliage was perfect! Cocktail hour was great! As soon as the ceremony ended, everyone had delicious hors d'oeuvres and drinks in hand. The staff set up all our decorations exactly how we pictured, and the main room was beautiful. We received so many compliments on the food (flank steak, and shrimp), everyone's plates started very full and were completely empty after eating. The staff were so nice and eager to help with anything needed. The bartenders knew how to make great drinks! Tanya, our wedding coordinator was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and knew exactly how to make the day flow perfect. She worked in every detail we wanted. I could not say enough about this venue! We are still receiving so many compliments! Now I want to attend a wedding there! Highly recommend having your wedding here. You will not regret it!

We couldn’t have chosen a better venue than Trout Lake to host our fall wedding. We were blown away by the beauty of the property when we first visited, but since then, it’s gotten...
even more so with a gorgeous covered outdoor area (we did our first look here), and incredible deck that made our ceremony entrance that much more breathtaking. We’ve received ENDLESS compliments about how gorgeous our venue was!
I can’t say enough great things about their staff. They’re attentive, kind, respectful, and treat you like a part of their family! We never once felt ignored or slighted, and they were willing to accommodate us in every way we asked to make sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. Halfway through the night, the bartender even knew members of our family by name, and we thought that was an amazing touch!
Food and drinks here are also amazing. We highly recommend the Chicken Francaise, Pulled Pork, Waikiki Meatballs, and Bacon Wrapped Scallops!
Also highly recommend renting the lake house! It’s beautiful and only about a half-mile from the venue! My wife and I were able to get ready there together because the top and bottom floors are separate. It really made things so much easier the morning of since hair and makeup stylists arrive so early.
Honestly, we have no bad things to say about this place! We couldn’t have been happier, and our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more!

Our friends and family from out of state were blown away by the beauty of the property, and our wedding photos are incredible!
We rented the Lake House and stayed there the night before and night of our wedding. Overall, it was a great space and served its purpose of bridal party getting ready, and newlywed brunch the next morning.
Overall our experience at Trout Lake was a pleasant and beautiful one :)

Trout Lake and the team made our wedding a dream come true. I fell in love with the venue at first sight-- the setting was beautiful and all of the accommodations were stellar. How...
ever, it was the team that really sets this venue apart from the 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 weren'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!!!!!

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!!!

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 :)

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 band. 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.

Trout Lake is a beautiful wedding venue. So many of our guests commented on the stunning view. Vanessa and the Trout Lake staff did a wonderful job on our wedding day-everyone was ...
very friendly and helpful. The food and desserts were great. The upstairs did get extremely warm during our reception (in June), but overall it was a great value and an amazing setting that we highly recommend.

We were supposed to go visit 3 venues the weekend we visited Trout Lake and ended up canceling the other 2 appointments. The venue is stunning in all seasons. We were just married ...
here in May and people are still talking about our wedding! The venue is so beautiful, we had beautiful weather and were able to open the doors to the deck for the entire reception. The food was outstanding, we had so many compliments on everything from the flank steak and salmon to the cupcakes. Most importantly for us the staff was so attentive and professional making sure we had everything we needed and more. The night flew by, I honestly could not imagine a more perfect wedding day.
