Amazing Venue

The venue is gorgeous, with many outdoor spots for photos. It's also relatively cheap and the staff is wonderful to work with. The only drawback is they charge 10% of your catering bill, which wasn't bad for us, but could be depending on which you choose

Beautiful place and very helpful staff!

Exploration gateway doesn't look like your typical wedding venue, but it is a gorgeous place. You can get married outside on the lake, or inside the lobby (we got married outside). This place features tons of outdoor photo opportunities as well! The pricing is very fair (I think I paid less than $1500 for chairs, tables, the space). Bonnie Hunt is the coordinator for the weddings and she is so helpful, and shows you all your options. This place allowels you to choose between 5 caterers (we chose old Carolina) and you are allowed to bring your own alcohol. I truly could not have asked for a better place to get hitched!

This venue has it all! It's perfect for brides who want to get married and have their reception in the same location. We were greatly impressed by the ample space to get ready in and the beautiful outdoor ceremony spot right on the lake!
