About this venue
The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is named after our dear loved one, Carolyn Varner Baldwin, who unexpectedly passed away in 2008 due to an allergic reaction. She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions. She has worked with over 200 wedding & event clients over the last 10 years and has learned quite a bit about weddings & event planning through her experiences.

Amazing Venue!
Having been to a few events at this venue, I love coming here. The area is beautiful and the venue is ran amazingly!
Gorgeous
This is a beautiful location and Joanna is terrific to work with
Wonderful venue!
We have hosted a couple and been to many events at the Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion over the years and we have always had a fantastic time. Joanna is quick to respond, helpful, and communicates in a professional yet friendly manner. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and provides great value for the price. Joanna has always helped set up and given great suggestions for the party "flow", ensuring our events run smoothly. The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is a wonderful place to gather friends and family for any special occasion.
Great venue!
Joanna at Carolyn Baldwin is the best to work with. She is responsive and helpful and knowledgeable about the area and exactly what's needed for a successful event. The venue is picturesque and beautiful on the lake and the price is more than reasonable for what you get. Definitely recommend!
