Shopping for the perfect venue? You probably have LOTS of questions! Here are a few things that make Eagles Nest at the Lake a little different. 🤍

❓ Do we have to leave right after the reception?
🏡 NO! With our Weekend Wedding Packages, the venue is yours from Friday through Sunday! No rushing your celebration or packing everything up immediately after the reception. Settle in, celebrate and enjoy your wedding weekend!

❓ Can our wedding party stay on-site?
🥂 Yes! Our cottages make it easy for your wedding party, family or out-of-town guests to stay close to the celebration.

❓ Can we have more than just the wedding here?
💐 Absolutely! Think rehearsal dinner, getting ready, ceremony, reception and relaxing with your favorite people afterward—all in one location.

❓ Do you only host weddings?
🎉 Not at all! We also welcome bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, reunions, corporate events, holiday parties, celebrations of life and more.

❓ What if we want our event to feel like OUR event?
✨ That’s exactly what we want, too. We love helping our guests create celebrations that reflect their own style, personality and vision.

❓ So what really makes Eagles Nest different?
❤️ It’s more than a venue. It’s a place where your people can gather, celebrate, stay and make memories together.

Why book a venue for a few hours when you can create an entire experience?
