Bride
The Lane was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we inquired, their communication was efficient, swift, and professional. The team guided us seamlessly through the booking experience. The venue itself is top-notch, with gorgeous views of the water and the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space. The food and drink provided by Social Tap Catering was incredible - our guests raved about it all night. The Lane's clean, modern aesthetic created the exact ambiance we were looking for on our special day. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
Amazing Waterfront Venue
From our first inquiry, The Lane's team was fast, helpful, and thoughtful in their communication. The venue itself was clean, beautiful, and surprisingly affordable given the high quality of their work. Their staff went above and beyond, providing thoughtful recommendations and excellent customer service throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their resourcefulness and attention to detail allowed everything to run smoothly so we could fully enjoy the stunning water views and amazing atmosphere they provided. We are so grateful to The Lane for making our special day truly unforgettable.
