Wolf Lakes Park, Inc.

Having my wedding here on the lakeside was a dream come true! The entire process with this team was incredible. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the site was, and how beyond amazing the food was! As a bride, I had a STRESS FREE wedding day. They take care of practically everything you could think of, and their coordinators are so professional and on point! We will remember this day forever as the PERFECT DAY! I would not even bother looking elsewhere, this is thee Venue if you are looking for a magical, and perfectly orchestrated wedding!

I had an incredibly beautiful wedding at this venue. Everyone was in shock that something so beautiful was nestled away in the Central Valley! Not only was it absolutely breathtaking (before adding the wedding decor), but the staff is friendly and SO organized. My wedding went off without a hitch! I cannot express my gratitude enough!

Spectacular venue and incredible service! Our wedding day was magical, my husband and I live in SF so we had a lot of friends from out of town come to our wedding, we received so many compliments about the food, service, and how beautiful the venue was! Carla, our coordinator of the day was AMAZING! She helped me each step of the night and helped keep everything in order. Highly recommend!

The absolute perfect place for our special day. Everything and everyone was amazing!

Wolf Lakes Park made our wedding day so perfect and magical. I was slightly concerned to be the first wedding of their wedding season, but they hit the ground running and did a fantastic job. Elise and her assistant were so on top of keeping everything flowing, ensuring nobody came to me with any problems, and with getting us drinks and food at the head table. They were awesome at checking in with my husband and I, and seamless when it came to coordinating the vendors. The chef was awesome. I don’t eat much when I’m stressed, so I requested pasta for just myself (because I can always eat pasta!). They were so accommodating, and even brought me out a plate of our wedding food in addition to my delicious pasta so I could still try it (seriously, the food here was SO GOOD. I can’t even count how many complements we got from our guests about the food. We got the apricot chicken and tritip, and for appetizers got the coconut shrimp (OMG. It was worth paying extra to make that into an appetizer), their HOMEMADE cheese, and shrimp and artichoke dip. No regrets about the food whatsoever.) The best part was my mom needed to make her famous brownies for our wedding, our oven ended up falling through, and the chef and staff very kindly allowed her to make her brownies in their kitchen. They went seriously above and beyond. My only downside was I didn’t get to try our food before the wedding because they have a big open house once a year for that, and it was the weekend before our wedding and we had another wedding to go to. My parents went, raved about the food, and it was reassuring that since the food was mass produced at the open house that they would be good at mass producing food at a wedding (and they were!). I was blown away by the professionalism, kindness, experience, and awesomeness that Wolf Lakes put into our day!

Our wedding was May 31, 2019. This venue was amazing. The staff were SO helpful. They always answered all my emails and phone calls. The food was spectacular. There were some hiccups during the wedding with some decorations falling, and they took the decorations and hot glued them and fixed them without me knowing and took care of everything. It was honestly the best experience we could've asked for. Their vendor list is so helpful. Everyone was asking me who my vendors were and commenting on how awesome they were. I think the best part was that I left my shoes, purse, bouquet, and my leftover cake at the wedding venue that night on accident. The Wolf Lakes staff locked my purse up, and they put my leftovers and bouquet in the fridge so it wouldn't wilt. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the park had another event in the Feedlot. My event was Gardenside, so they are right next to each other. The people in the Feedlot were standing right on the other side of my ceremony area and talking really loudly during my ceremony. I'm not sure if the staff didn't know, but it was really annoying and it would've been nice if someone was standing out there to tell them not to talk. So my brother-in-law went out there and told them to stop talking. Other than that, it was PERFECT!

Beyond expectations!

We got married at Wolf Lakes park on April 22, 2017 in their Lakeside area. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I wouldn't change anything. The staff at Wolf Lakes are wedding experts and they know what they are doing! We had a little under 200 guests, and had so many of them tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. I don't want to be biased, but it was the best I've been to also. ;) Our entree choices were tri-tip and stuffed chicken, and they were AMAZING. We chose golden potatoes for our starch option and OMG they are gooood. If you book your wedding with them, you get tickets to a food tasting that they host every March. This is the only opportunity to try their food free of charge, but you get to try every option that they have and there is a lot! So many guests complimented the food and said it wasn't typical "wedding food." The venue is absolutely gorgeous on both the Garden side, and Lakeside. The selling point for us to pick the Lakeside was that the groomsmen have the option of riding in to the ceremony on a pontoon boat! Soooo cool! Our guests were amazed and I got to watch their entrance while I hid at the beginning of the aisle. I get to watch it over and over in our wedding video, and it is seriously cool. You get a "day of" coordinator, and ours was Savannah. She didn't get to be with us for our rehearsal, which initially made me nervous, but she did a great job when the day came. The bridal dressing room is spacious and comfortably fit my wedding party of 7 bridesmaids, myself, and 3 stylists. It also has 2 salon style chairs, which the stylists appreciated. I would without a doubt, chose Wolf Lakes Park again!

We got married on June 10 at Wolf Lakes and we could not be happier!!! We were on the Lakeside venue. The service was great, the venue is gorgeous, and the food was probably the best "wedding food" we've ever had. You have to book early, because they book up fast! The staff there is very friendly. The only advice I would give to future brides is to always talk to Elise. Janice is another worker there, older, and isn't as friendly. You can tell that she has been doing this for a while so some questions that we had she acted annoyed to answer. She's just a little cold and harder to work with. Elise, the younger lady, is AMAZING and so very helpful! All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone. The food, service, accommodations, everything turned out great - my sister already wants to book it for her wedding!!

Wolf Lakes Park was a perfect 10. We got married on the "English Garden" side March of 2016. The grounds weren't quote flowering at this time however they were still very lush with the greenery & mature trees. The structures here are perfectly kept, from the fountain area during the post-ceremony cocktail hour to the reception. Warm colored stone with gorgeous creative & handmade chandeliers above the dance floor. Don't get me started on the ceremony site... truly an "English Garden". The staff was elegant & professional. At first I felt even a little embarrassed with how much the wedding coordinator was attending to me, I felt bad! But then I just had to realize she was just REALLY good at her job. Anything I wanted throughout the whole entire day she was right there with beautiful manners ready to get it for me. We truly had a wonderful experience at Wolf Lakes. Highly recommended.

Wolf lakes was a wonderful place to have our wedding. The scenery was gorgeous and we had many compliments from guests about how beautiful it was. We picked the chicken cordon bleu for our entree and it was so good. The staff was super helpful and nice. When we would meet to discuss details Janice was so helpful and flexible and really put me at ease. As the bride, this was extremely helpful. The day off coordinators were also wonderful. The wolf lakes staff all know how to put in a great wedding!

My wedding was absolutely beautiful, the venue was amazing! The staff was awesome; Christina our wedding day coordinator was awesome always made sure everything was taken care of. My guest could not say enough great things about how beautiful the venue was; the food was amazing the whole day was awesome. This by far is the most beautiful place to get married in the Central Valley.

I would say that they are the best venue in all of Fresno. Everything was so beautiful, their staff was so helpful, and everything was just perfect. Plus they weren't all that expensive compared to other places that weren't as nice.

Wolf Lakes was a dream to work with. I was planning my wedding from out of the country and they worked well with me to help me plan my special day. The venue itself is gorgeous and kept up really well. I also got SO many compliments on the food as well as how beautiful the grounds were.

We loved the natural beauty of this venue, it provided the perfect scenery for our outdoor ceremony and reception! We were in the "English Garden" and the grounds were so green and lush! The sunset on the lake was also a beautiful backdrop for the cocktail hour. Our guests were impressed by the food and the quick service as well. Overall we had a nice experience with this business and our wedding day was as amazing as we hoped for!

I had my wedding at Wolf Lakes & it was PERFECT!!! The staff was awesome and so helpful. They kept the wedding organized and the whole day was stress-free for me. I recommend this venue to anyone getting married!

My sister got married here and it was such fun time. The staff was cool and the venue really is pretty.

My groomsmen and I got to come in on a boat. That was pretty much awesome! The food was great and the staff was friendly. The only downside to it was the guys changing room had no power until after dinner was served. It was pretty hot the day I got married so it sucked.

Wolf Lakes Park is a gorgeous place. I still get complements on my wedding and the location. Who can say no to boat rides at a wedding? The staff was friendly and helpful as well.

My wedding exceeded my expectations. It was a perfect May evening and the garden venue is gorgeous. Not to mention their staff took care of most of the day of details. I didn't stress about anything that day. Even though it was pricey, i felt it was worth the expense.

Wolf Lakes is hands down one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Central Valley. That being said I feel that because the venue is gorgeous they can get away with treating you like crap. First of all we feel that advertising that a "wedding coordinator" is included in the facility cost is a scam. The only contact we had with the coordinator was at our detailing appointment which they wouldn't allow us to do until a few weeks before the wedding. We met someone who we assumed was our coordinator however when we asked her how else we could contact her she simply said to call the office, which is impossible to get someone at times. The day of the reception we had a COMPLETELY NEW person who knew NOTHING about the wedding and the details that were discussed. I actually got a call in the middle of getting my hair done asking for the table assignments (which was emailed several days before, I even received a confirmation email that they had it) Several very important things were botched the day of the wedding- while the head table was served we had mentioned time and time again that the parents table and important elders table be hand served. The head server chose to serve the VIP table first rather than sever our parents and grandparents. An observant person would have known which table both fathers had stood up from to give their speeches. What's worse is that the bride’s father stood up as the other table was being served and informed the head waiter that he was serving the wrong table and that the grandparents table must be served first. He reiterated this twice and was rebuked. After what seemed like eternity the table was served except for the father of the groom. We had to inform the wait staff that he was not served. This is a terrible disgrace in Asian cultures and were embarrassed that this occurred. Not only was the table served inappropriately late the food that was served was subpar- the steak served to our parents and grandparents was so hard that they couldn't even put a knife through it. The candles that we put on the tables were never lit even though both I and my bridesmaids asked about them multiple times during the night. We had discussed when they should be lit at our detailing appointment. On top of it all the expensive scented candles were not returned to us. Few days before the wedding I had asked about the vegetarians and I received a very rude email saying it was my job to make a sign on the food table saying that vegetarian opinions are available... During the reception multiple ppl let both the coordinator and the waiter know that one of the bridesmaids is vegetarian. She was promised a plate of pasta would be brought to her since all they brought her was salad and vegetables There were no tooth picks for the messy appetizers and no forks for the cake cutting. On top of it all we were actually charged MORE for a wedding reception than if we chose to have both the ceremony and wedding there (which is more work no?) All in all like I said before, it is a nice place however the service could use a lot of help. If your head waiter can’t get it together and if your supposed wedding coordinator can’t complete the simple task of lighting candles you’re in trouble. Really unexpected for a place that is supposed to "do" weddings. (they have two wedding sites and are booked solid year around)

Elyse was the wedding coordinator who walked us through the whole thing. Let me just say she is my saving grace; she's sweet, professional, and gets things done. Not to mention Wolf Lakes is the Central Valley's hidden gem. If you are looking for a memorable wedding with five star quality food on a fair budget, this is your place. No regrets, best place ever!

Wolf Lakes was beyond amazing!!! The venue was breathtaking, and the service was OUTSTANDING! I was married in the English Garden in May, and the setting was perfectly lush and green! Everyone at Wolf Lakes was so professional and genuinely cared about your happiness and your dream! I would highly recommend to any bride!

The staff was great, the food was great, and the venue was beautiful! I could not have asked for a better venue

Over all you will be satisfied and happy. They take care of almost everything. However could work on communication between staff.

Wolf Lakes staff was absolutely amazing on our big day - they catered to us and all the guests raved about the food and service! I was impressed with the attentiveness of staff throughout the entire evening!

Wolf Lakes Park is one of the most beautiful places in the Fresno area. It's basically a venue with 2 event locations nestled on a manmade lake. My husband and I had our wedding there in their "Garden" location. I'll note that their service is exceptional and the people that work there are awesome. They made sure that our "day" was special and went smoothly. I'll also note that they don't allow outside caterers so you need to select from their menu...but the food is fantastic! Only a couple of complaints that knock them down a bit to a 4.5-star rating instead of a 5-star: 1) the bugs...eek, there are lots of 'em (I was pulling critters out of my veil and dress for days after)...they seriously need to get some mosquito abatement guys out there; and 2) the fact that you are limited to a 6-hour event that cannot go past 11pm (bad for a party that's still rockin' at 11pm)...they should give people the option of paying loads more $$ should they run over by an hour.

The only complaint I have regarding my wedding is that it was really hot that day! But, a summer wedding in the central valley of California can't escape that. Wolf Lakes even set up big swamp coolers (which were somehow unobtrusive) beside a few rows of guests during the ceremony. As soon as I arrived I felt completely doted on, which was great because I was the bride. The natural beauty of the venue made Wolf Lakes Park the perfect place for our wedding. These people know what they're doing!

I had my wedding on August 18th and I received many compliments. The location is excellent, food is great and the staff was very helpful and awesome. If you haven't been out to the location it's a MUST SEE if you're wanting a outdoor wedding.

I loved Wolf Lakes. There are so many great places for pictures and the food was wonderful, everyone was very pleased with the quality of the food.

Excellent all the way around!

loved loved loved the Wolf family and this amazing beautiful venue! I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else. They truly are a class act! No cost for the venue itself but the cost seems high because I had a large wedding and they do their own catering... Which is so yummy!!!

I fell in love with Wolf Lakes when I found their website and knew I had to get married there. The place is gorgeous, they take such good care of everything. They are so nice, they even let me bring cheesecakes in, istead of a big traditional wedding cake. The food there is outstanding! Our guests still talk about it! They do everything there for you which helps make things less stressful! I tell all my friends to get married there!

Kind of on the pricey side, but there aren't any hidden fees and the price is basically all-inclusive. They were very helpful and nice without being too present and they weren't pushy on the day of. They do not negotiate on price tho, so you have to be willing to pay at least $6,000, but this covers ceremony/reception location, catering, china rentals, white tablecloths, colored napkins, etc.

Everyone who works at Wolf Lakes wants to make your night the most wonderful and memorable night of your life. Let me start off by saying that they do an outstanding job keeping on on the landscaping of their privately owned park, they cater their own events with THE BEST food (I'm not biased ask my guests), and they coordinate the night so you and your family can relax and have fun! They offer linens, silverware, stemware and glassware as part of your package with many napkin color options. The office is easy to contact and are more than happy to answer any question you have! They have two ceremony sites, we chose the garden side, which was intimate and felt like our own secret garden. The reception site, which was steps away, overlooked the lake. The reception site also acts as Plan B. If it rains they are ready to move the wedding under the covered pavilion. You also have the option to do a hand served dinner or buffet.Appetizers are served near the bar before dinner while the wedding party takes pictures. Wolf Lakes Brought out 2 platters of food and drinks for us while we took our pictures. I was so thankful for that since I was so busy I hadn't eaten all day! The bride and grooms dressing rooms are big and have recently been remodeled. The brides side even has an outdoor patio area overlooking the lake that helps relax the mind right before the wedding! They only accept cash or check which makes life so much easier after the wedding! Our night went smoothly and we had so much fun! The one reccomendation I have is that if you and/or guests are goign to need a cab make sure you call at least an hour before leaving. They are pretty far out there in the country and cabs take a while! If you haven't already been to Wolf Lakes make an appointment to check it out! I can't say enough how thankful I am that we chose Wolf Lakes!

They were great with everything leading up to our wedding day. They were so organized and so friendly. They helped us feel at ease and that they had everything under control. At the wedding the food was excellent and the place was absolutely beautiful. They keep up the grounds so that everything is perfect. The only problem was the timeline got way off. I think they took too long serving everyone their food so everything got behind. I don't know if they were understaffed or what, but I was not happy. We had to pay our DJ and photographer to stay longer because we hadn't even had our first dance yet and it was time for them to leave. I was disappointed because there was hardly any time left for people to dance at our wedding. I always wanted a fun dance party at our wedding and we didn't have time for one. :(

Best place for a wedding!

Finding the right venue for my wedding was the hardest part of the planning process. I visited many, many places throughout the Visalia and Fresno area to have my wedding. When I visited Wolf Lakes Park, my parents and I knew it was "the place" for my wedding. It truly is the best outdoor venue in Central California. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to have my wedding ceremony and reception. I was very happy with the staff throughout the planning process, rehearsal and wedding day. They were helpful, accommodating and always friendly. All and any questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. To top it off the food was delicious!! My new husband and I are definite foodies and we were not disappointed. Our families and guests had a wonderful time. Several of my guests described our day as a fairytale and I (as the bride) couldn't have agreed more. Everything on our wedding day was simply perfect. Wolf Lakes Park helped make our wedding an event to remember. Thanks WLP!! = )

The staff was totally on top of everything the day of the wedding! If there were any problems, I didn't know about them...they took care of everything. The food was amazing and my guests STILL compliment us on how beautiful and smooth the wedding was.

This location is pretty..depending on which season you choose to get married in. Summers are hot for an outdoor wedding here. Also, they don't allow small wedding parties.

was amazing! beautiful! the people work amazing with you and the service was AWESOME! did not have to worry about anything!

They were so great to us. We had our rehearsal run through there, they answered all our questions, everything we asked for we pretty much got. Emergency products were there, I had wine spilt on my dress and the red came out with the coordinators products. The bride's room should have been a tee bit cleaner, but nothing that was alarming, and we had some timing issues with our Mariachi, but they were very good about working it out with us. Everything was beautiful and all their workers were great and the food was awesome! I don't regret it at all.

Such a fabulous location and venue. With there being so many places to wed in Central California I thought finding a better spot than where my sister got married just two years prior would be a snap. After searching, reviewing and seriously considering our options I agreed to visit Wolf Lakes and was blown away being with what they were able to offer my husband and me as well as our guests. Our pictures came out amazing, the service is bar none and we have been told many times by our guests that our wedding was the best they had attended. Little pricey but I wouldn't have changed anything for that day. Highly recommended to brides to be.

The views were excellent, including what the guests looked upon while dining. The lake provided the perfect back drop. Additionally, our ceremony was held in the english garden, and despite it being the wettest and coldest spring on record, the site was still breathtaking. Minimal decoration was needed due to the natural ambiance. The food was great (what I tasted) and our guests still rave about it. My in-laws and parents were especially happy regarding everything.;book early! We booked over a year in advanced and had 2 options.

There were 2 reception areas, with beautiful landscaping. I believe that Wolf Lakes is the best place in the Central Valley to get married. Everythings was gorgeous, and they were so helpful. There were many food selections to choose from.;It is difficult to find a date on the weekend that is not already booked, as it is a very popular venue. We booked approximately 16 months ahead, and the two Saturdays we wanted we already booked, so we had a beautiful Friday wedding.

I loved everything. My pictures were beautiful, the food was great, the site and the staff were brilliant. I had absolutley no complaints or worries with Wolf Lakes.
