The pines resort is a such a gem. My husband and I got married here in September 2023 and had the best experience. We worked with Randi and Brittany who were so accommodating, friendly, and supportive. Unlike many other venues, the pines was able to accommodate a smaller wedding (35 people) without pushing a minimum food and drink cost which is super rare to find. The venue itself is so beautiful, our ceremony and reception over looked the water and everyone had such an amazing time. The vibe and atmosphere is so amazing, staff are all so friendly and you really feel like you care. The day of our wedding, we had some small mishaps and Brittany and Randi were able to work to find solutions while we got ready for the big day. We really felt taken care of. Highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!! Reviewed on 23-10-2023

We got married at The Pines in May 2023! We had the most wonderful wedding we could ever have dreamed of! Nick, Brittany, and Randi helped us every step of the way -- very communicative via email and text. They helped us plan every piece and recommended local vendors for things they don't do in-house. Nick and Brittany were wonderful during our rehearsal, wedding, and reception -- they truly were on top of things and helped with every little thing that came up. The rest of the staff was also fantastic and professional.The setting is beautiful! We had our reception on the deck and had smores and our guests had a blast! Our wedding day was truly better than I could ever have imagined! The Pines gave us support in planning and flexibility to make it our own -- highly, highly recommend. Reviewed on 30-06-2023
Janelle Jarvis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 We had the most wonderful wedding at the Pines. Everything from the staff, food, decor and overall flow of the day was perfect. We had the wedding out on the lawn and the reception in the lakeview room. Nick was our day of coordinator and he was fabulous. Easing our minds during stressful situations (aka possibility of rain). One amazing thing about this venue is how willing they are to work with you. It was projected to rain during our ceremony and The Pines was doing everything possible to make sure our day was going to be just as special. They have multiple options if there will be rain, and that is definitely a plus! I ended up not raining and the views were gorgeous. We had our rehearsal dinner at Ducy’s and it was so fun for our family to mingle and hang out together. Ducy’s also catered the wedding and the food was phenomenal. We have gotten so many compliments. The girls got ready in a suite and the boys got ready in a chalet.

Emily Wong(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2022 The most amazing venue I could’ve asked for. Such a beautiful location right on the lake and the indoor space for dinner was just perfect. Nick and Randi were both so attentive and professional throughout the entire process especially during wedding weekend. The chef made amazing dinner choices and I heard guests raving about the food all night long. The staff were very kind and helpful all day. Nick went the extra mile every time the wedding party needed anything. The venue is gorgeous and the resort is the perfect place for guests to stay for the weekend. The most perfect wedding for me.

Julia Hall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 I got married at The Pines and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Randi, Nick, and Brittany were absolutely wonderful. They had great communication from day one of planning before we even booked all the way through the event. They made sure everything went smoothly and helped me with details I didn’t even think of or I was unsure of my decision. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. I’ve received so many calls and texts post wedding to tell me how beautiful it was and how amazing the food was. Chef did a perfect job. I can’t express how grateful I am to have people who truly cared about my big day and who seem to truly enjoy their job. I’m sad my wedding is already over but it truly could not have gone any smoother thanks to the wonderful people at The Pines. We’ll definitely be back for future anniversaries and I’ve already been recommending them as a venue to other friends of mine. The Pines will always have a special place in my heart.

Lauren Hull(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2022 Our wedding day was beyond perfect and I cant thank Randi, Nick, and Brittany for everything they did for us. During the planning process the staff at The Pines was so responsive and easy to work with. Randi was very diligent and answered all of my crazy questions. Nick and Brittany were just amazing during the tasting and on our actual wedding day. They made sure that everyone in our party was taken care of and that my self and my husband had anything and everything that we needed. The bartender and wait staff the night of the wedding were very fun and had really great energy. The food was AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about it.

Carrie LaShell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 There are not enough stars to give Randi, Nick and Brittney for the amazing event they help me put on at The Pines Resort. Every day I think about how I want to go back and relive the entire weekend. Randi bent over backwards to help me for almost two years to plan. When I couldn't find the right flower vendor she found me the PERFECT match because she listened to me and saw my vision. Her understanding of this vision also made my day of look EXACTLY like what I had envisioned. The food was amazing, the space and decor were amazing, the views were amazing, the staff was amazing and the entire process went great! We also hosted a Friday night welcome reception for all 125 of our guests with heavy apps and smores at the fire pit. Honestly, we had many friends and family tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to.

Very communicative, and very on point with everything! Our guests were more than pleased with our wedding...great food, great service, great drinks...and amazing outside scenery!

I enjoyed doing the catering tasting with her and her assistant, Nick. Speaking of catering, the food is included as part of the venue. It was so delicious! I highly suggest ordering the Alfredo pasta as one of your sides. My fiancé and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. I would highly recommend having your wedding at this venue.

I wanted an all-white wedding with greenery (leaves and stuff), with a gold accent (gold chairs, and some decoration). With those instructions provided to them, they exceeded our expectations, I mean - our decorations, flowers, everything was absolutely stunning!!! We were pleasantly surprised. THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL in itself and the service is exceptional. Also to add, My husband is Korean and I am Indian. We requested some of those flavors, and they were accommodating towards our culture/food.

It would cost an additional $2,500 to have an hour-long, outdoor ceremony at the wedding lawn of Ducey's, which I thought was ridiculous. I was assured by the ladies at The Pines there would be an outdoor venue built by my wedding (which was 16 months away at this point). Long story short, no outdoor venue was completed, even though they had sent several e-mails to me about different plans they were making (including pictures of a gazebo they were supposedly in the process of purchasing), all with assurances there would be an option for an outdoor ceremony.
