About this venue

Located in the heart of Southern Virginia is the hidden jewel of Mimosa Lake. As you drive through the majestic entrance you will know you have found the perfect place to start your life journey with the one you love. Mimosa Lake is located across from historic Lunenburg Courthouse. The courthouse was built in the late 1700s and is one of three Thomas Jefferson designed courthouses in the United States. Mimosa Lake is an ideal location for a destination wedding or event. It offers Southern hospitality at its finest. The centerpiece of the property is the 30-acre private lake backdropped by 300 acres of open fields and 400 yr. old evergreen trees providing year-round beauty and privacy for your ceremony. The 7200 sq. ft. rustic barn pavilion and 420 ft. covered veranda overlook the lake. We are 30 minutes from Farmville, Blackstone, and South Hill Virginia. We are less than 2 hours away from Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, NC. You've said Yes, now say I Do at Mimosa Lake.

We had an amazing experience working with The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake. From our first collaboration, communication has been prompt and professional. The family-owned venue takes pride in making every couples’ wedding experience exceptional. The waterfront venue itself is completely breathtaking! It has versatile indoor and outdoor spaces that allow for individuality and creativity. There are numerous on-site amenities available that contribute greatly to a successful wedding day. We highly recommend taking a tour of The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake - you won't be disappointed!

From the moment we first spoke with the team at The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake, we were blown away by their amazing communication, attention to detail, and genuine warmth. They stayed on top of every aspect of planning our wedding, always thinking ahead to ensure our special day ran smoothly. The Foleys, who own the venue, were unfailingly polite, sweet, and helpful - we truly feel like we've made lifelong friends with them. The Pavilion itself is a stunning, one-of-a-kind space, with a beautiful, timeless rustic elegance that was exactly what we were looking for. The online photos don't do justice to the breathtaking natural setting, with the sparkling lake and lush grounds. It was the venue of our dreams, and we wouldn't change a single thing about our experience working with The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake. They helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect in every way.

From the moment we first met Cindy and Bob, the owners of The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication was fast, clear, and transparent, and they were incredibly personable throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt perfect for our special day. Cindy took so much time to sit with us and talk through every detail, even the little things we hadn't thought of! On the day of the wedding, Cindy and Bob kept everything moving seamlessly, ensuring our day was stress-free! We loved getting to know them and felt like we were in great hands from start to finish! Having our wedding at The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake was truly the best decision we could have made.
