From the reviews

This place is absolutely stunning. It’s like a hidden gem. I attended a wedding which was officiated by the lake and it was a wonderful atmosphere. The hall for the dinner is a good size too.

SPECTACULAR VENUE! This place has the most breathe taking views, along with their amazing wedding barn, and spacious grounds. A romantic and beautiful place to plan a wedding or just a getaway with family and friends. Cozy rooms, and enough places for everyone!

★★★★★ — David, Oct 2021

I couldn't have imagined my wedding weekend anywhere but here. The professionalism from the owners made our weekend run so smooth. The venue is amazing, the newly built barn is beyond beautiful and it was perfect for my rustic but modern style barn wedding.

★★★★★ — Jill, Dec 2023

We toured for a wedding venue. The location is gorgeous and there is plenty of places for people to sleep, plenty of acres to explore and enjoy and the barn is GORGEOUS!

Getting married at Grace on the Lake

Grace on the Lake 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.
