Anderson Lodge is such a unique facility offering a lodging and wedding/reception site all in one! Our wedding packages are very affordable and make a truly memorable event.
The usual concept of a wedding is limited to an afternoon. Here at Anderson Lodge, weddings take place over 2 days or several days. This allows your family and friends to be more a part of this wonderful event! If your experience is the same as many of our friends, wedding couples become frustrated having to greet and talk to relatives and friends who have traveled at great lengths, all within the short amount of time allotted at most reception locations. Frequent comments are, "The reception was such a blur. It was over before I could talk to everyone."
Weekend weddings at Anderson Lodge are amazing. Arrive on Friday and leave Sunday afternoon. Mid-week weddings are very popular too. You have the chance to choose from many possibilities for your special day.
For example: Friday is check in. You and your wedding party, close friends parents, etc. arrive. Dinner, rehearsals, video times, decorating are just a few options.
Saturday, the major set-up and decorating can take place and the families are together and so much a part of the occasion. In the afternoon, the ceremony can take place with the reception following. If you so wish, guests can stay the night not forcing them to drive after the celebration. We offer private rooms, family rooms and cabins.
Sunday offers a leisurely morning, perhaps a breakfast buffet and a chance for good byes.
Now this weekend wedding design is only an example. But it shows how the wedding experience can be turned into a meaningful, memorable occasion, by not limiting it to just a 4 hour generic event. Whether you want a 1 day package or a package with multiple days, we can accommodate. Celebrations are welcome any time of the year. We have seasonal pricing for our wedding packages as well as special pricing for mid week events.
All Wedding Packages are very affordable and include:
- Lodging for guests
- Large reception pavilion
- Spacious conference room
- Outdoor wedding sites
- Exclusive use of property
These are just a few of the amenities our lodge has to offer!
CEREMONY OPTIONS
Couples may choose either our Main Lodge or our Hilltop House for their celebration. Both facilities are equal in the amenities that they offer. Taking a tour of the Main Lodge and Hilltop House is the only way to assess which facility YOU like the best.
In warmer months outdoor weddings are ideal with the natural beauty that surrounds our facility. With outdoor patios and decks, your reception guests wander freely with so many options for dining or socializing. If the weather turns cool, you have the 2 conference rooms to entertain your guests. There is nothing more beautiful than celebrating in the natural beauty of Anderson Lodge.
We are open all year long. Fall, Spring and Winter weddings are very popular as well. Every season has its own beauty which is evident at Anderson Lodge. One can have a dramatic ceremony in our carpeted conference room or the spectacular pavilion. Receptions are warm and cozy as well. Some of our most beautiful weddings have been in the winter!
We provide 150 indoor chairs, 150 outdoor chairs, buffet tables and dining tables for your event. China and flatware for 150 people as well as access to our commercial kitchens is a part of all wedding packages. Providing a choice of catering or self-catering allows you to customize your event to meet your needs. Many of our wedding couples have outside vendors such as: photographers, florists, DJ's, musicians or wedding cake specialists as a part of their wedding plan. We even have a wedding officiant in the area if you need someone to perform the ceremony. (See some suggestions of vendors in our "links" page of our website) Others choose to have family members provide their services. It is all up to YOU!
