About

Welcome to Lakeview Weddings & Events! Located just one hour north of Edmonton, our venue is a private sanctuary overlooking Peanut Lake near Barrhead, Alberta. Lakeview harmoniously blends natural serenity, cozy comfort, and elegant touches, creating the perfect setting for your wedding.

We offer an incredible opportunity to celebrate your wedding without time restrictions. Unlike many venues that require an early departure, you can rent our space for the entire weekend. Accommodations include the lodge for up to ten guests and five all-season cabins with washrooms (available for the 2025 season), plus options for RV parking and camping. You and your guests can stay and savour every moment together—from the night before to the day after—making it a truly unforgettable celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

We offer a large 40 x 80 covered outdoor space with an amazing view of the lake. Use of white chairs and rectangular tables for up to 150 guests, as well as all linens, table decor (including candles), and a beautiful dance floor for everyone to enjoy. Inside the lodge, there’s a beautifully air-conditioned room for hair and makeup, where the bridal party can enjoy complimentary mimosas. A new Groom's Room, complete with a bar, fridge, games, and cozy chairs, is a perfect space – yes, the groomsmen get mimosas as well! Use of the hot tub, bonfire, and BBQs are a few extras for everyone to enjoy.

Services Offered

An on-site event coordinator is available to assist you on your wedding day, ensuring you can fully focus on enjoying the occasion. For your convenience, professional and attentive event staff are assigned to your function, providing setup and cleanup assistance. Lakeview offers bar service, fireworks, dinnerware packages, a lemonade/coffee bar, ice and water (after the ceremony), a popcorn/donut wall, and s’mores for an additional price. Outside vendors are welcome, and you are encouraged to arrange your own catering services.

Location

Ideally located between Edmonton and Barrhead, Lakeview Wedding & Events is nestled within a tranquil forest on Peanut Lake, making it easily accessible yet private and remote. Couples and their guests are free to explore the 160 acres of pristine landscape, waterfront, and walking trails. Barrhead is located 12 minutes north of the venue, and Westlock is 25 minutes northeast.

Double booked

We originally booked this venue for our family to stay from Thursday to Saturday due to its size and amenities. A few weeks after confirming our reservation, Cindy called and informed us that a large group was interested in booking the property from Thursday to Sunday—the same weekend we had already secured. She assured us that this group would be on the opposite side of the property and that we wouldn’t see or interact with them. Reluctantly, we agreed.
A couple of months before our wedding, Cindy reached out again and asked if this group could use the terrace in front of the lodge on Friday night while our family would be attending the wedding. She promised they would not have access to the lodge itself and told us we could cancel if this was an issue. We agreed—only under the condition that the terrace use would be limited to 4pm–11pm on that one night.

Then, just 10 days before our wedding, we received an itinerary from her detailing that the group would actually have access to all the green spaces every day of our stay, and that there would be events, vendors, and workshops happening throughout the weekend—completely contradicting what we had been promised.

When we confronted Cindy, her response was that this group was more profitable, and again offered to let us cancel, just days before the wedding. It felt clear from the beginning that she had received a better offer after confirming our booking, and all communication from her felt like she was trying to push us into canceling.

While we were refunded our deposit, we were shocked and disappointed to later find out she had contacted our wedding venue and shared a version of events that wasn’t accurate—all without our knowledge or consent.

Extremely unprofessional and disappointing experience. We would not recommend booking this venue if you're looking for reliability or transparency.

The site of a perfect wedding. All the guests were impressed with the gorgeous facility, the venue is on top of a hill that overlooks the lake.

Romantic, comfortable and gorgeous setting for a wedding. Guests could stay on site in the cozy yurts while the wedding party stayed in the house.
Our hosts were absolutely fantastic on the wedding day, and the only small criticism I have is that responses to emails prior to the event were not always prompt. Overall we had a fantastic experience at Lakeview: an ideal location for a wedding celebration.

Great experience! They made my day

Loved this venue. So many guests commented on how amazing the venue is/was. The team helped so much the weekend of the event. Make sure things were running smoothly.
I will admit the communication leading up to the even was minimal. But enough to get what we needed across.
The day was absolutely perfect. The team dealt with bring things in out of the rain and the wind. I barely noticed the downpour that was happening.


If you can afford this venue I highly suggest it!!! So beautiful. Great team!

Highly dissatisfied

Up to the wedding date everything seemed to be great with Brie and her team. However, the day of the wedding it was a disaster and made it so disappointing for myself and my guests.
1. Grass was long, we asked in rehearsal for it to be cut Brie said she would. She did not
2. We were told we had kitchen access and yet was not allowed to borrow a spoon for the bar.
3. The entire septic system backed up causing toilets to overflow as well as come through bathtub.
4. We were told we had a crew of 4 for cleaning up dinner/ tables throughout the party. We had two and had to go ask them to come as guests were clearing their own plates.
5. Our glamping tent guests when going to bed around midnight found they had no sheets or pillow cases on their beds. Some guests were in bed by then, with no sheets.
6. Bride and groom glamping tent was suppose to have heated blankets coffee and power, we had none of that. It was a major disappointment for a wedding night. Bonus at least we had sheets.
7. Messaging Brie it would take days to respond - so I emailed same questions to the main email. I got different answers from Brie and her team.

Very disorganized and promised many things that they didn’t live up to, I would not recommend this venue at all. Although the view is beautiful it is not worth wrecking your wedding day with all the issues like it did to me.

Dream wedding venue

We want to start out by saying that the venue in itself is stunning. The property, house and deck all set up is absolutely beautiful. All of our guests commented on how it was the nicest looking wedding they have every been to.
Cindy, Brie and their team handled everything flawlessly. If there was any issues we had no clue. They made sure that everything ran smoothly without a hitch and right from the panning stage had everything under control. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, all while being so friendly. We felt like part of the family.
Lakeview took all the stress out of the wedding and made it a weekend and a day to remember, for us and all of our guests.
If you're looking for a super classy wedding venue that helps you every step of the way, look no further.
Thank you so much Lakeview for such a great experience!

Best wedding imaginable!!

Mother & Daughter duo were very prompt, and amazing with all the planning to make our day as perfect as it was. During our rehearsal dinner I didn’t have a altar, within an hour they had one delivered. I remember the sunset over the lake watching as they set up the altar and thinking wow all this for us, they truly made our dream wedding happen! Every bump that came our way they took care of to make our day as special as it was. The property is absolutely stunning and all the options they have make their venue unforgettable. Our guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding was. We are forever grateful to Cindy and Brie’Enna and team for going above and beyond. We highly recommend Lakeview weddings.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
