Evergreen Lake House was a great wedding venue for our special day. The staff was prompt in their communication, making the planning process smooth and easy. The venue itself is gorgeous. One thing to note is that long veils can catch on the deck, so keep that in mind. Overall, the quality of Evergreen Lake House's work and the value they provide is good. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, lakeside wedding location.

Chris and her team really made my wedding stress free! They were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. A day of coordinator was incredible and so needed. Someone to get your bouquet as you’re almost walking down the aisle and forgot it. Kelsey was so great! She even helped with my garter in a rush. They kept us on track and kept our guests happy. We weren’t without a drink in our hands that’s for sure. So thank you so much Chris and Kelsey!
