 At
the upper end of the lake meadow we have built a covered
pavilion. The basic pavilion is 25' x 40' but can be
extended on both ends to provide upto 2,000 square feet of
covered space, enough to accommodate 200 attendees. There is
also a movable stage that can be used for wedding rituals or
as a band stand. There is ample parking in close proximity to the pavilion.
The views from the pavilion take in the lake, the fountain
and the wedding island. After the reception the guests can
enjoy themselves with boating on the lake, horseshoes,
badminton, volleyball, disc golf and other field games.
There is also a campfire ring for later at night.
Arrangements can be also made for additional games and
attractions that are listed on our
reunions page.
Pricing for the reception varies according to the number of
attendees. Arrangements can be made for rehearsal dinners as
well.
Additional photos of our grounds appear on or “Photos”
page.
