My husband and I got married here June 1st this year and would highly recommend the Lake Nepessing Boat Club to any couple looking for a wedding venue. Absolutely beautiful setting both inside and out. If you haven’t been here in the past 3 years, check it out.The new owners, Justin and Tracy, have updated the venue and it is beautiful. They also go above and beyond to make the venue exactly what you envision for the day of. All of our vendors had nothing but good things to say about how accessible the building is to bring in and take out any equipment. They offer the option to book it for the entire weekend (highly recommend) which allowed us enough time the day before and after to set up and tear down without feeling rushed on our wedding day. Perfect venue for a lakefront wedding.
