Amenities
Big Lake Lodge 2013
Mid June - Mid October
Our wedding venue here at Big Lake Lodge has evolved into “one wedding per weekend”. This gives you exclusive access Friday (until 9:00 pm) for any preparations (if you’re doing your own flowers, decorating, etc) and your rehearsal. Your ceremony and reception on Saturday (music must stop by 9:00 pm) and access again on Sunday (until 12:00 noon) if needed for removal of anything left behind.
Our fee is $3300 plus tax (8%) totals $3564.00 and includes everything listed on the amentities list plus a wedding planner on site working with you to plan every aspect of your event. Our staff provides the set up for the ceremony, the table set up for the reception, the food preparation and presentation on the buffet, beverage server, wait staff to bus tables and perform most of the clean up.
The fee includes the use of all the furniture, linen, dishes, flatware, appliances, serving dishes, etc. While it does not include the cost of the food and beverages, it does include all the services a caterer would provide.
Part of the planning is helping you create a menu that suits your budget. There are formulas that help determine the amount of food and beverages you’ll want to have for the number of guests you’re expecting. When that’s been determined you provide the prepared foods from either a Costco type purchase or delivery from a caterer/ restaurant and we do all the remaining preparation, presentation, and servicing for the buffet and the non alcoholic beverages.
