Large parties are welcome and can be served on the lakeside deck and lawn, where tents can be erected. The lodge can also accommodate up to 50 guests for overnight stays in rustically-appointed queen and twin rooms, meaning the wedding party can stay together over the weekend.

All meals can be tailored to accommodate the budget, tastes, and preferences of the newlyweds.
