An All-Inclusive Forest Wedding in Franklin County, Missouri | Chelsey and Steven

Chelsey and Steven envisioned a forest wedding that was both enchanting and stress-free. They found their dream venue at Lost Hill Lake, nestled in the serene landscapes of the Missouri Ozarks. Opting for the the Canopy All-Inclusive Wedding Package, they were able to craft a personalized and unforgettable celebration.

There are so many great features of this package, including:

It’s not everyday you get ready on a houseboat!

The Canopy Package includes ALL SIX glamping units for the weekend, and the larger units are perfect for primping and prepping!

There's nothing quite like those intimate "First Look" moments up at Thinking Rock —our exclusive river overlook. It’s the perfect secluded spot to soak in the beauty, share a quiet embrace, and create a memory that’s just yours. Trust us, it’s pure magic!

In a Lost Hill Lake first, Chelsey got a haircut back at the Happy Dayz Houseboat between the ceremony and reception. We are all about this level of personalization!

Take it from Chelsey and Steven:

Lost Hill Lake was the most perfect place we could have chosen to have our wedding! Sam was there every step of our planning progress and truly made everything we envisioned come to life. Having their decor package available made it stress free and they truly have everything. Having Sam and her team to set everything up and gather things made our wedding weekend worry free and we were able to be fully present in our wedding and not be distracted on helping vendors or make sure things went smoothly. The shuttle got us all to where we needed to be in a timely matter and also it was helpful to our guests. The bar staff was incredible and had everything we needed and were attentive as most of our guest are heavy drinkers. Forrest was there to help wrap things up at the end of the night and was attentive to make sure we made it back to our glamping site with all of our gifts and belongings and had everything organized and easy to find the next morning when the rest of our personal decor we had to be pick up. I could not have felt better about having this group of people in charge of some of our most important time. I truly would recommend Lost Hill Lake for any event that is in your life. Their team and family have dedicated so much to have such a beautiful property that left our my guests speechless. - Chelsey and Steven
