As a wedding planner, I highly recommend The Venue at Maison du Lac! Its modern yet rustic charm lends itself to a variety of wedding aesthetics, and I love that couples have multiple ceremony locations to choose from. The venue is well maintained, from the bridal and groom suites to the reception space and outdoor barn. The exterior grounds are meticulously maintained so that couples are able to enjoy the beautiful lake views and luscious tree lines that border the property.The catering options for the venue are wonderful as well. Couples have the option to choose from a variety of caterers and menu options spanning a variety of budgets. From a vendor perspective, Jessie, the venue manager, is fabulous! She has great energy and passion for her work and is proactive in helping couples finalize all of their day-of details like floor plans and vendor arrival times. As a wedding planner, I felt confident working with Jessie and appreciated her above and beyond work ethic and willingness to assist in any way needed. I look forward to working with her again!

Having my wedding at MDL exceeded all of my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. I love that it was a mix of rustic and modern. The reception and ceremony being all in the same place was another GREAT plus. All of my guests could not stop telling me how beautiful the venue was and I couldn’t agree more! The staff at MDL (especially Jessie) was absolutely outstanding to work with. I will recommend MDL time and time again for anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue! Reviewed on 28-11-2023

Date: October 2023Wedding Size: 55 peopleCeremony: BarnA beautiful venue and the manager Jessie was fantastic to work with. She helped work out a ton of details beforehand and then was available throughout the day to help coordinate. She was there to keep us on schedule, get everyone in place, and ensure we had everything we needed. Having a smaller wedding (55 people), I was a little concerned about the reception space feeling too large or empty. We only had 7 tables (about 8 people each), but Jessie spaced the tables and decor around to feel well balanced and fill the room. The suites were well equipped for getting ready and beautiful in themselves. Every angle of the grounds was gorgeous and well kept. Peaceful and not able to hear/see the road the venue is off of. Plenty of parking with huge lot and extra lot for wedding party. The llamas were adorable and a huge hit with guests and made for great photos. Recommend! Reviewed on 23-10-2023

Any direction you want to go for your wedding, The Venue at Maison Du Lac can accommodate. I was drawn to the venue initially when I wanted to have a modern, summer wedding, but as my wedding ideas changed, the venue continued to fit it. The property owner was even willing to accommodate a date change when my (now) husband and I decided to move up our wedding to an winter date.

If you get married here make sure you pay to get the llamas! They were a huge hit with the guests and the pictures I was able to get with them are so cute! The inside of the venue is modern and doesn’t need much to make it look beautiful. I will say, make sure you have a couple really tall centerpieces since the ceilings are so tall, it made all the difference and was a great piece of advice from the staff. Coordination of the event with Darla and Bailey made me feel at ease. They made sure every detail was covered. The venue was also much more affordable than many places I looked at, you get bang for your buck for sure. Highly recommend getting buses from your hotel to the venue and back for the guests since it’s a distance from town. We used first student buses and it was perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married. If you book the venue you have to use Ces and Judy’s catering, as they are the owners, and it was the best food and service.

From the floor to ceiling windows in the reception venue to the lake, to the BEAUTIFUL bridal cottage- I was completely sold. The llamas and alpacas are also a must and makes this venue even more unique- our guests absolutely loved hanging out with them during cocktail hour and we got some amazing pictures. The staff is what sets this venue apart though- Bailey, our wedding coordinator was on top of everything, responded quickly to each email I sent (and there were a lot) and was just a pleasure to work with- she truly made my vision come through.

Bailey served as our Coordinator and was with us every step of the way during planning - always checking in to see if needed things or how she could help. She was willing to offer an opinion if we asked and supported each decision that we made. We couldn't have had an easier experience planning than with The Venue team!

The staff was very friendly and pretty accommodating to some of my preferences. My husband and I chose the buffet option but still were able to have a few plated vegetarian and gluten free dinners. I thought the food options were better than the typical food you might find at other places. The size of the ballroom ended up being a good size for 15 tables we had seating our guests. I was a little worried about this since our original plan was around 180 guests but we had quite a few out of town guest who ended up not being able to come to the reception. Something to consider as a potential down side would be having a larger guest list and having the tables closer together than you might like. The bar area is in a separate room so guest will have other space to move around a little if they want too. \r\rOverall, great place and great food.
