    My experience with the Folks at the Greatful Dane Lodge has been positive from the get go! From the day we met the Evans' and toured their venue, we were welcomed with kindness. We knew immediately that this unique and stunning property was where we wanted to celebrate our special moment with family and friends! If any couples are searching for that perfect wedding venue that has timeless charm, that offers scenic views and a peaceful atmosphere for people to really spend time with each other, then I would recommend the Greatful Dane Lodge 10 out of 10 times!

  • Thank you for making my day so special!

    The Greatful Dane Lodge was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team was welcoming, humorous, and sincere in their communication, making us feel right at home. Keith and Nicole’s compassionate and kind demeanor put us completely at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of, the venue itself was simply beautiful, highlighting warm, nurturing, and effervescence, with a homey feel that our guests raved about. The Greatful Dane Lodge family truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would seriously recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple looking for an unforgettable celebration.

    The Greatful Dane Lodge was an amazing wedding venue for our special day. The owners were incredibly outgoing and understanding throughout the entire planning process, which helped to ease any stressful times. The venue itself is spacious, elegant, and charming - the grounds are beautiful and the interior is absolutely stunning. I haven't had my wedding yet, although the process with The Greatful Dane has been smooth so far, and I just love this space so much and can't wait for my special day here!
