Best wedding day !

We recently got married at the Inn on the Lake in March 2024. It was is amazing wedding venue with super friendly staff. A big thank you to the whole wedding team especially Jonathan, Kerri and Teresa for planning and executing the day perfectly, it exceeded our expectations. Jonathan (wedding coordinator) made our day run so smoothly from attaching the men’s button holes to setting up our decorations, which looked so professional. Our guests loved the hotel and were impressed with the wedding food and drinks. The weather was so sunny on our day, so we got married outside. If you can I would highly recommend it! The venue and its lands are stunning, creating lots of photo opportunities. The new patio area looking on to the lake was great place for guest to relax and chat. The bridal room was gorgeous and very spacious, perfect for the girls getting ready with hair and make up. Thank you again for creating the best wedding day! Love, Rachel and Lewis x

We had the most wonderful wedding day

We want to say a huge thank you. We had the most wonderful wedding day. When we were deciding on a venue and saw the Inn on the Lake we instantly knew it was perfect, but the actual day surpassed our expectations. The staff were so friendly & the food was exceptional, we had lots of positive feedback about both from our guests too. The setting is beautiful & the day was planned and executed so well, thank you, everything on your side seemed seamless and meant we could relax and enjoy our day.

THE best venue, THE best team of staff

The best wedding venue with the most stunning surroundings and the best team of staff ever. Not a single thing went wrong or not quite to plan. Everything was as we wished for and nothing we asked was too much trouble. They are a credit to the beautiful venue and they made our day perfect. We were made to feel so special our whole stay and it really did make a difference to us. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more - Jonathan, Kayleigh and Kerri a huge shout out too - they are just beyond incredible! We are overwhelmed by how perfectly run the day was and we will be forever grateful. To anybody thinking of getting married here, don’t think about it - DO IT.
