Best Wedding Ever
The Candlewood Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the day we first toured the space to the day of our wedding, the Candlewood staff was consistently helpful, understanding, and flexible. They explained every detail of how the day would go, and it ended up going very smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a spacious and awe-inspiring ballroom that created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere for our guests. Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect, thanks in large part to the wonderful Candlewood team. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding experience.
All Around Amazing
From the moment we reached out to The Candlewood Inn about hosting our wedding, their team was prompt, thorough, and incredibly flexible, and accommodating (special shout out to our coordinator Christian who truly went above and beyond). The versatile, timeless, and beautiful event space felt like an incredible value for all that was included. You cannot beat the location right on the lake and it's convenience to 84, and the food was OUTSTANDING (something that nearly every guest commented on). On the day of our wedding, The Candlewood staff was the most attentive we have ever experienced - they coordinated every detail seamlessly and thought of everything to make our special day perfect. We were able to relax the day of, but even throughout the planning phases as well - we felt we could genuinely trust The Candlewood. Their kindness and consistency throughout the planning process and on the wedding day was truly remarkable. We cannot recommend The Candlewood Inn highly enough for couples looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service!
Look no further!
Christian and the team at the Candlewood Inn are absolutely top notch! We had our dream wedding there this past November and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the venue tour to the day of our wedding, and every planning call and email in between, everyone was so attentive, responsive, and helpful. Their attention to detail is unmatched. They made sure our day ran smoothly and most of all, that we were able to enjoy the day. We absolutely did knowing we were in such good hands. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food, the view, and the friendly staff. We highly recommend the Candlewood Inn!
Wedding at Candlewood November 2024
We had our wedding at Candlewood and were blown away! Krista, Connor, and all of the Candlewood staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish, they really worked with us to make our dreams for the day come true and we could not be more grateful. The service staff day of were beyond attentive, not only to us as the bride and groom, but to everyone of our guests. All our guests have been raving about the excellent food and service they received. Perfect in every way, we could not be more happy with how our day turned out. We are so grateful to the team at Candlewood!
