My (now) husband and I had discussed having our ceremony and reception at the same location and had a more limited budget. I knew an outdoor ceremony would also be magical (if the ...weather cooperated, which it did thankfully). Western Lakes and the Saz's Catering Lake Country partnership checked all of the boxes! We knew the second we walked in and met with co-owner and catering manager, Chris, that we would have our wedding there. The way the team there structure everything is top notch, and they were all actively engaged in making our wedding spectacular. Coordinator Sara even responded to one of my (many) emails with questions while on a beach vacation, which was above and beyond the call of duty. The team even put out all of my signage, set out the place cards, and strung lights on the balcony that morning, so we didn't have to do a thing. We loved every minute of our special day, and we are still getting responses (a month later) from our guests with how wonderful everything was during our wedding!
