About

Four waterfront venues ideally suited for country, vineyard, lakefront or beach themed weddings.

In the summer the properties additionally have a 5,000 square foot sandbar covered by 6-18 inches of water that can comfortably seat up to 200 people for those parties that absolutely must have their feet in the sand and the water. Cannabis and kosher friendly weddings are welcome.
