Congratulations!
It is exciting to be embarking on a "new phase" of your lives!
Thank you for inquiring about having your special event here at The Lodge. This is a special occasion that we would feel honored to hold.
Our wedding packet is a starter for an event here on the Lodge property. If you haven't already please fill out the reservation information request form, send an email or just give us a call. Eventually I will need enough info to get an idea on what stage you are at in your planning and begin to offer a price/event scenario for your particular function. You can print out our Lodge Wedding Planner here.
If we have not met already, I encourage you to meet my staff and myself, and to tour The Lodge property. Many photos of the property, virtual tours and wedding photos can be seen on the website.
Wedding/Reception Locations:
We offer many areas on the property for your wedding and/or reception, and some have combined the different areas.
- The main dining room: for up to 75 persons
- Lakeside: involves a catered event utilizing tents and equipment
- The rathskeller and outside garden: combines the use of our "lower" room with the outdoor garden.
- All of our "other lawns"
- Consider a "weekend event"
Cocktail reception as guests arrive on Friday, rehearsal dinner, Wedding on the lake Saturday, with reception to follow on the lake or in the Lodge, Sunday brunch.
- Consider a "whole resort package" adding all lodgings to the above scenario. Most lodgings are subject to a 3 night minimum July 4 - Labor Day and Columbus Day.
- Consider a wedding time other than July 4-Columbus Day or February. We can work with pricing and discounts during those periods.
Menu:
Typical weddings start off with an appetizer/bar offering as they gather, dinner, dessert then the reception and various festivities. With those simple ideas, and the various locations and offerings - We have not had two weddings the same yet!
See the restaurant section for our style of menu and service. Specific menu is determined per each event. Email us for a listing of offerings.
Event & Wedding Fees & Services:
All fees subject to change and dependent on the special event. Final service fees will be determined on your Event Proposal.
One way to estimate and get an idea of the cost of your event here at The Lodge is by figuring approximately an average of $75, multiplied by the number of people. Obviously each scenario is different. This will be an average price for events here at The Lodge but will give you an idea of a basic budget.
