You can now book your dream wedding for Summer 2023 and beyond, and we cannot wait to help you make lasting memories.

The Wedding Ceremony

Your wedding should be one of the most special days of your life, and booking your wedding at our Elsewhere Retreat will certainly help make that dream a reality. Our property has a stunning little wedding chapel nestled into a beautiful little forest overlooking a pair of private lakes. The chapel sits up to 150 guests for an extra romantic indoor ceremony, or you can elect to take advantage of our outdoor ceremony options instead, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery.

With our Bridal and Honeymoon Suite, you’ll have a pair of separate rooms for the bride and groom to prepare for the ceremony. The bride will benefit from her own personal quarters with everything she could need to get ready for the big day, including getting her hair done, her makeup, even a mani/pedi. Likewise, the groom benefits from a special quarters of his own, outfitted with sofas, televisions and a pool table for he and his friends to relax and get ready.

The Wedding Reception

When the ceremony is finished, you and up to 150 guests will be able to shift to our indoor restaurant and bar for a catered dinner. There are plenty of great catering options in the area that we can recommend, and they’ll benefit from a large, fully outfitted kitchen to get everything ready for the reception. With an additional outdoor bar, you and your closest friends and family are sure to enjoy your special day well into the night.
