    My genuine advice for couples looking at the lodge is to absolutely go for it… if you have a separate wedding coordinator. The lodge is stunning, adorable, great for out of town guests, and has incredible food. BUT in the 1 year we had a contract with them, they went through 6! event coordinators. We didn’t get the menu until 3 days before the wedding. And the lodge coordinator who had been working with us for the last month just didn’t show up on our wedding day. Thank god we had decided to hire a separate coordinator. She re-coordinated the wedding in a matter of hours. I will say everyone she worked with day of and everyone we worked with after were absolutely incredible and they really worked hard to make our wedding magical. They were also very apologetic for all we had gone through and helped adjust our final bill accordingly. So I’m ultimately very pleased with our wedding and don’t regret having it at lodge but I cannot recommend them at the moment. Maybe in a year (so 2025) they will have sorted this out and be back to the incredible venue I know they can be.
