- TTori & Jase12/06/2026The most gorgeous wedding The most gorgeous weddingWe had the most amazing day. Ella and her team at the Lake house made the whole day seamless and run so easily. The location was beautiful, the reception room looked incredible and the food was amazing. It was raining on and off on the day of our wedding and they let us decide that morning whether we wanted to use the inside option which we ended up opting for and it was so beautiful and cosy and a great option.
