Located in the heart of Southern Virginia is the hidden jewel of Mimosa Lake. As you drive through the majestic entrance you will know you have found the perfect place to start your life journey with the one you love. Mimosa Lake is located across from historic Lunenburg Courthouse. The courthouse was built in the late 1700s and is one of three Thomas Jefferson designed courthouses in the United States. Mimosa Lake is an ideal location for a destination wedding or event. It offers Southern hospitality at its finest. The centerpiece of the property is the 30-acre private lake backdropped by 300 acres of open fields and 400 yr. old evergreen trees providing year-round beauty and privacy for your ceremony. The 7200 sq. ft. rustic barn pavilion and 420 ft. covered veranda overlook the lake. We are 30 minutes from Farmville, Blackstone, and South Hill Virginia. We are less than 2 hours away from Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, NC. You've said Yes, now say I Do at Mimosa Lake.

“From the moment we first met Cindy and Bob, the owners of The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication was fast, clear, and transparent, and they were incredibly personable throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt perfect for our special day. Cindy took so much time to sit with us and talk through every detail, even the little things we hadn't thought of! On the day of the wedding, Cindy and Bob kept everything moving seamlessly, ensuring our day was stress-free! We loved getting to know them and felt like we were in great hands from start to finish! Having our wedding at The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake was truly the best decision we could have made.”
