From the reviews
Highly recommend this venue it is so beautiful, and very accommodating, Kara is an amazing manager and is a wonderful coordinator for our wedding, she always answers her phone, txt messages, and emails very blessed about our special day ❤️ #Veryblessed
This place is absolutely gorgeous. They have transformed a once thriving farm into an amazing purpose built wedding venue of anyone's dreams! The barn is decorated beautifully. The lakside view is so serene! And the atmosphere is everything you could ask for in terms of a farm/country style wedding.
I got to photograph a wedding at Lakeside Occasions this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. The views of the lake and the property provided excellent photo opportunities for my couple and the staff was always on hand to help things run smoothly. As a 13+ year wedding professional, I highly recommend this venue!
We had our wedding at Lakeside Occasions! It was amazing. Kara was so easy to work with, she handled last minute details for us, helped with planning, and was quick on replying when I needed some answers! It was a hot but gorgeous day; many people complimented the venue throughout the day!
Getting married at Lakeside Occasions
Lakeside Occasions 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 Lakeside Occasions
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Lakeside Occasions — 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.
