The Lodge at Boyce was the perfect place to have our family holiday get together. The interior is spacious, even with our large group, but still intimate enough for everyone to be included. Plus it’s gorgeous inside, and could be used for any occasion. Plenty of parking area, and a perfect location- private, quiet, without being too far away from Bowling Green, Scottsville or Alvaton, and easy to find. We all loved having a place to be together, without worrying about size, space, seating, etc. We, without a doubt, will continue to use The Lodge for future events.

From the moment we first reached out to Five Palms Weddings and Events, their communication has been fast, efficient, and incredibly personable. The venue itself is large, upscale, and absolutely beautiful - exactly the kind of elegant, high-end setting we were hoping for our wedding day.
