Nestled in the stunning Shenandoah region with a picturesque lake as its centerpiece, this venue offers a serene and magical backdrop for any couple's big day. But it wasn’t just the location that won us over. The beautifully constructed reception building was not only visually appealing but was also well-maintained and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Every corner of the property echoed the dedication and meticulous care of its owners, Brenda and Lynwood. Brenda and Lynwood's exceptional communication stood out throughout our journey. Their responsiveness to our questions and concerns was always timely, and their assistance in coordinating our wedding ceremony made the planning process seamless. One particularly memorable moment was when Lynwood, despite the rain, skillfully got a fire started for our fire ceremony, ensuring that even Mother Nature couldn’t dampen our special ritual. Adding to the allure of Brenwood Lake Weddings were the beautiful two cabins on the property. Conveniently located in close proximity to the main venue, these cabins were immaculate and provided a perfect staging area for us to prepare for our big day. It's evident that Brenda and Lynwood put their heart and soul into every aspect of Brenwood Lake Weddings. Their genuine passion for their work ensures that couples can truly experience their dream wedding. One of the most admirable aspects of our experience was the personal touch Brenda and Lynwood added to every interaction. Their guidance, combined with the venue's natural splendor, truly made our wedding day an unforgettable one.

Words cannot adequately describe how grateful we are to Jessica Hewlett and her staff at The Cove and Fawn Lake Country Club for the perfect wedding reception for our wedding on Saturday, October 30, 2021! However, we want to share some of our thoughts. When we came to visit The Cove at Fawn Lake Country Club the first time in June, we knew immediately that this beautiful new venue was the perfect place for our reception. We were impressed with Jessica’s professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail. From the tasting experience to the coordination and planning prior to the big day, Jessica led us through this stressful process with caring, respect, and understanding, while being the consummate professional. Once the big day arrived and we entered the venue, our jaws literally dropped and brought us to happy tears at how perfectly Jessica set up the reception. It was magical! She coordinated the events of the afternoon and evening with precision, leaving us with no worries and just being able to enjoy our special day. Our guests raved at how wonderful the food was as well as the service. They were also in awe of the incredibly beautiful venue and lakeside setting. We both looked forward to this day all our life, and Jessica delivered our dream Wedding reception. As we said, it was simply a perfect day none of us will ever forget, and we are incredibly grateful to Jessica and The Cove at Fawn Lake!

My son recently got married at Earlyhouse, and the entire experience was nothing short of perfect. The venue was gorgeous. Everywhere you looked, there was a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. We were especially grateful to have the day-of coordinated by Katie, who worked behind the scenes to coordinate with all of us (coming from Florida, Texas, Maryland, Tennessee, & New York) and our vendors, she even managed my sons wedding timeline. It was evident that she genuinely cared about making the day special for our family. Her dedication and professionalism shined upon us the whole time. Because of Katie's expertise and dedication, we were able to relax and truly enjoy the day without any stress or concerns.

She answered all my questions during the entire planning process with so much knowledge. She never made me feel like I was a nuisance or annoying with so many questions and emails. There was really no request that went ignored. Everything was set up perfectly on the day of. She made sure everything ran smoothly without overstepping into the fun part of the night.
