Carawood Lake

Our Perfect Enchanted Fairytale

My husband and I toured many venues a year ago. Each one, we found something that didn’t speak to us and our love for the great outdoors. When we met with Suzanne a year ago, we felt an instant connection at how welcoming she was with her contagious smile, showing us all the venue had to offer us. She explained plans she and her husband had as well. There are many attributes that caught our attention- the two acre pond sold me-I love fishing and the energy that water gives off. Kris also loves fishing. It’s another love we share together. During hunting season, he spends a lot of time in the woods-his church. We are very outdoorsy people and we couldn’t pass up this hidden gem. The cabins were another cute addition that we loved. We like to take camping trips also. We loved that it’s secluded from housing and quietly tucked away in a more intimate and private setting. My bridal party and I got ready in the bridal suite and it was an amazing bonding time together. Thanks for taking care of me and my ladies, Suzanne! I loved how the arbor was decorated and the benches were set perfectly for all to witness our love for one another, as we said- I do. The bon fire at the end of our day was just perfect. Jay was also a huge help asking me and my bridal party if we needed anything multiple times a day. He was so sweet and kind and helpful! Thanks for everything, Jay! We hope you enjoyed yourself as much as all of our family and friends did! We had 135 guests and everything was just an absolute dream. The light rain didn’t hold back any smiles. It was Gods way of washing our worries away, as I like to say-a strengthening of our bond, like a sailors knot when it gets wet, it becomes stronger and impossible to pull apart or undo. I couldn’t give Carawood enough five star reviews, we truly are elated and extremely grateful for finding this hidden gem in the country. Thank you from the bottom of hearts for everything and always answering any and all questions I’ve had leading up to our wedding on 9/12/26. Until next time, love- The Carlsons’

Perfect place to celebrate! Great lodge on a lake.

Carawood was the perfect place for our fall family party! The lodge had plenty of room and looked beautiful with all of the twinkling ceiling lights. We had a bonfire on the lawn. It was a great place to hang out by the lake. Suzanne was wonderful to work with and made planning super easy. We will definitely book here again!

Picture perfect day

I helped my mother-in-law plan her wedding at Carawood Lake this fall and everything about the process was wonderful. Suzanne is a very warm and responsive communicator. The grounds are extensive and the view of the lake from the back patio of the venue was beautiful. A highlight was the bonfire after dinner when all the guests roasted s’mores next to the lake. It was such a wonderful day. It was the perfect place to have an intimate, private wedding surrounded by nature.
