From the reviews

I recently had a wedding at the Country Lane Lodge on October 26th. I probably toured 10+ venues but nothing could compare. When we toured the venue we fell in love! The location is so beautiful and Erin was the wedding coordinator at the time and she was very helpful and nice!

★★★★★ — Allison, Nov 2024

We got married here in August and everything about the day was perfect! Kendra and her staff were so helpful and accommodating throughout our entire planning process, making our wedding day flow seamlessly and without issue. The venue itself is so beautiful and extremely well kept.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Jan 2024

Choosing our wedding venue felt like SUCH an important decision. For us, Country Lane Lodge was the perfect mix of woodsy beauty that's outside of the metro city's hustle and bustle.

★★★★★ — Jennae, Aug 2025

My Husband and I got married at the Lodge on September 28th, 2024. We booked our date in April of 24' as they had a cancelation date available. At the time of signing our contract Kendra was still the owner. Kendra had great communication and was a great point of contact in the early stages of wedding planning.

Getting married at Country Lane Lodge

Country Lane Lodge comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Country Lane Lodge

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Country Lane Lodge — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
