Great venue
Highly recommend getting married here! The staff is wonderful! Ever since Kristen took over it was smooth sailing. The location is beautiful and if I could afford it I would do it all again.
BEST DAY EVER
I had the most wonderful experience having my wedding weekend at the Lakeside Inn. My coordinator Kristen was amazing and all of the staff was so helpful and friendly. The food was AMAZING. All 150 of our guests had the best time. I am so grateful. Highly recommend!
