The Weekend Wedding Package

Imagine a whole weekend dedicated to celebrating your love, surrounded by stunning woodlands, a peaceful private lake, and your favorite people. That’s exactly what Shannon and Jared’s Weekend Wedding Package at Lost Hill Lake’s Forest Venue offers—three days of unforgettable moments, from the “I do’s” to bonfires under the stars.

The Weekend Wedding Package starts Friday afternoon for a relaxed gathering or rehearsal dinner at the lakeside gazebo or chapel. Then settle in for a cozy overnight stay with all six glamping units. With showers and kitchen access, it’s the perfect mix of adventure and comfort.

The magic really happens on Saturday! Say your vows surrounded by nature, then celebrate with a dreamy cocktail hour and reception. The package also includes a hotel suite at PineMark Inn for the couple.

How about that stunning dress!?

As a special tribute, Shannon wore her grandmother’s wedding dress for her big day. How sweet!

Before heading home, gather your guests one last time for a farewell brunch by the lake. The venue provides tables, chairs, restrooms, and a grill, making it easy to serve up a casual breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

Wow, where to even begin? This place is magical, and every person we came into contact with was nothing but kind and helpful.

As far as a wedding venue goes, in my opinion, it simply does not get better than this. We opted to rent the entire glampground for the weekend as well, which made our wedding weekend feel like a festival with all our friends.

Samantha made sure everything ran so smoothly, taking care of details I'm sure I don't even know about. From pictures to the ceremony to dinner and the dance floor, I cannot speak highly enough about this place and all the staff. As the bride, I was able to relax, truly enjoy the day and be present with my new husband!

Every guest, including some less outdoorsy family members, had nothing but incredible things to say about the entire weekend. It's the perfect blend of approachable nature.

On the glamping side of things, our friends (and us) had an absolute blast! The kitchen(s) were perfect for big group breakfasts and a nice way for us to catch a moment of calm. We really loved making big bonfires next to the lake. What a fun way to catch up with friends and family. I didn't get a chance to peek inside all the accommodations, but people seemed to really get a kick out of how unique everything is! We stayed in the VW bus with our dog, which was perfect!

If I could rate LHL higher than 5/5, I would do so in a heartbeat. - Shannon and Jared
