We have 2 gorgeous ceremony sites with scenic views!

💙 By the Lake ~ say your "I Dos" under the arbor. Have up to 200+ guests on the flat, grassy area with views of the lake & mountains. You have the option to arrive by Woody Wagon! This site is a short, easy walk from the Mayes Event Center.
Which location would you pick? 💍

It`s about time to get back out on the lake! 🚣♀️ There`s nothing quite like the calmness of being out on the water and getting a whole new perspective.
