For a more relaxed atmosphere, the Pool House suite offers a spacious setting complete with comfortable lounges, tables, and games - ideal for pre-event gatherings.
Host your ceremony at our signature Forest Vista site, where a stone pathway leads to a scenic peninsula surrounded by pristine waters. Graceful towering trees create a natural cathedral effect, while wooden posts and white rope railings add nautical charm. The surrounding landscape features native plantings and ornamental grasses, providing endless possibilities for photography.
The Twin Lakes Pavilion serves as your reception centerpiece. Its greenhouse-inspired design showcases panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Before entering, guests can mingle during cocktail hour at Viewpoint Terrace, which is enhanced by comfortable lounge furniture and lakeside views. The pavilion's contemporary design creates a seamless connection between modern sophistication and natural splendor, making it ideal for weddings, galas, and social celebrations.
Our experienced Wedgewood Weddings & Events team provides comprehensive packages that allow you to focus on your guests while we handle every detail. From vendor coordination to day-of execution, we ensure your event reflects your unique vision.
