“We got married at Loveland in March 2024 and are SO happy we did! They were the first venue we looked at and instantly fell in love but wanted to do our due diligence and look at one more to be sure. We checked out one more and that validated that we knew Loveland was the venue for us. Heather is a complete boss and does amazing work and her team is so so helpful. The venue itself is beautiful - we loved the privacy and all that it had to offer (the outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception area). The team cares about their couples and are there every step of the way. Also the fact that we could get an outside caterer and supply our own drinks saved us a good chunk . I’d recommend them 10000x times over!”

“From the moment we first reached out to The Venue At Maison Du Lac, Jessi was incredibly responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The venue communication helped make our planning process easy and stress free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a lovely dock on the lake, bride/groom suites and amazing ceremony and reception spaces. Jessi worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure our day ran smoothly, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. This venue truly helped bring our wedding vision to life and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received there.
