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.

Loved my wedding at this venue! This was the first venue we toured and ultimately decided to book it. The prices are reasonable and the team is great. Isabelle knows what she’s doing. The forecast was calling for rain the day of the wedding. She and her team were constantly watching the radar and working hard to make sure everything was perfect despite the weather. They were great at catering to my husband and I and making sure we had everything we needed the day of and did not stress about a thing
