Awarded Best of Zola
Evergreen Lake House was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, they provided quick replies to all of our questions, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - the lakefront location and lush greenery created the most picturesque backdrop for our special day. While the overall rental fee for the full venue was a bit on the pricier side, it was well worth it for the stunning setting and seamless service. Krista, the coordinator at the lake house, was such a joy to work with and ensured that every detail was taken care of, including providing all the necessary tables and chairs. We are so grateful to the Evergreen Lake House team for helping to make our wedding day truly magical!

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!
