Catalpa Grove at Lakewood Park

I photographed a wedding at Catalpa Grove at Lakewood Park on June 7, 2025, and really enjoyed working at this venue. Everything is compact and convenient. the bridal prep took place upstairs in the barn, and the natural light there was perfect for portraits. The outdoor spaces offer great variety. There’s a private swing area ideal for a first look, a gazebo for vows or portraits, and a scenic lake nearby. The ceremony spot outside is beautiful and surrounded by nature. Inside the barn, there’s plenty of space for both dancing and dinner. One of my favorite features is the second-floor balcony, which gives a unique angle for dance floor shots. It’s a well-designed, photographer-friendly venue that makes storytelling easy.

We held our daughter's wedding at Catalpa Grove. It is a beautiful venue. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. Everything went as planned. I would highly recommend holding a wedding there. We loved having the 10 luxury cabins beside the venue for our wedding party to stay after the wedding.

As a wedding photographer, I can truly say that Catalpa Grove at Lakewood Park is a remarkable venue that highlights the immense dedication and effort of its owners. I was captivated by the beautifully landscaped grounds and breathtaking views that create an ideal backdrop for any wedding. Every detail of the venue reflects a commitment to excellence, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for couples and their guests. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the day flows smoothly. With its enchanting settings and stunning scenery, Catalpa Grove is a dream destination for capturing timeless love stories. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful and unforgettable wedding experience! I am excited for the opportunity to photograph my next wedding there!

I just put in a new cafe and bar very well done great staff. Nice place to have a morning coffee looking over the lake. With a fountain going. However I was say it was a disappointment to see that they had microwave type of frozen eggs for their breakfast sandwich not real fried eggs I'd changed that if I was them. everything else was great. Other bar food is very good.

My husband and I had our wedding at Catalpa Grove on 01/05/2025. To say the venue was perfect for us was an understatement! The venue was able to host all 180 of our guests and not feel tight. Additionally, we were able to personalize the wedding to our heart's desire! We were not restricted to any certain vendors, we were able to decorate how we liked, and could customize the floor plan to best fit out needs. We got compliments all night long from our guests about how beautiful the venue was, and they could not be more true! I 100% recommend looking into Catalpa!

My husband and I tied the knot at Catalpa Grove on 6-22-24. We truly could not have asked for a better venue with the BEST staff. Marissa went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our day was perfect! I would recommend this venue without a hesitation. Excellent! 10/10

My husband and I recently got married here and we have nothing but absolute accolades to say about this venue and their staff! First of all, the place is gorgeous. The venue has an elevated rustic look. It’s super versatile for whatever you are looking for. And has the perks of being able to bring in whatever vendors you want and has so many amenities on site as well (with more options being added)! The greatest perks of this place is honestly the staff. And more specifically CANDICE ♥️. She was absolutely incredible to work with. She puts so much time and effort into coordinating every aspect of your day to make sure it is perfect. She dealt with every vendor and went above and beyond to help with coordinating family, timing, and so much more. Candice, we love you! We had an incredible wedding weekend and will definitely be back for our anniversaries in the future! Love, The Snyders

Catalpa Grove is so peaceful and so scenic, it is perfect for your next event! My wedding was so easy and felt like a luxurious day all around! The staff is wonderful, so attentive, and well organized. The lodges are so spacious and comfortable. The grounds are so lovely to walk around, and the water features are so calming.
