    Absolutely amazing experience! Perfect venue and breathtaking scenery!

    The Forrest pond lodge was a dream come true for our intimate wedding. Patty and Thomas made sure every detail was taken care of. The beauty and intimacy of this spot cannot even be captured in pictures. The picturesque views allowed for amazing wedding photos!!!

    The venue is absolutely perfect for any style of wedding! Patty and Thomas ensured that everything was in place without us even having to ask!
    We will always cherish the memories of the Forrest Pond Lodge !

    Personable and Helpful

    Patty and Thomas were wonderful to work with for our special day. We planned our wedding in less than 5 months and Patty was always just a text away. She helped me so much with recommending vendors and making the connections. Their property is beautiful and we loved every minute of our weekend at Forrest Pond Lodge.

    Best choice

    From the time we arrived on the property we were in love with the peace and serenity you immediately felt. Mrs. Patty was the sweetest soul and was so kind through the whole process and was so responsive. She was super helpful with vendor recommendations as well. We enjoyed our whole weekend out here with family and friends and being able to wake up Sunday morning and spend a few hours just sitting with my new spouse and soaking in the view together to start the day was the best start to our next chapter together. I cannot recommend Forrest Pond Lodge enough. The venue is so versatile and has so many options you can utilize. We did a lake side ceremony and did our whole reception in the covered outside area downstairs under the venue. If you take the time to tour this venue you will be in love and you won’t regret spending your wedding day at this beautiful place.

    Forrest Pond Lodge's reply:

    Thank you for your exceptionally kind words! You both were pure a delight and joy. We miss having you here for wedding planning. Please come by if ever in the area!

    Beautiful venue, wonderful owners!!

    My review is so late, but we got married 12/17/22 and Forrest Pond Lodge was the best venue we could have ever dreamed of! The owners, Patty and Thomas, were so kind and helpful. They were able to answer every question we had! They were available and flexible. The venue was perfect for the vision we had of our wedding. The views are gorgeous, the lighting in the venue is great and we loved the flexibility of the ceremony locations. We loved that the lodging was on site for all of the wedding party, it made everything so much more convenient for setup and take down! Highly recommend FPL! Also, the location of the venue itself is perfect, because there's so much acreage on the property, yet it is still close to food options and hotels. Everything was perfect!!

    Forrest Pond Lodge's reply:

    Thank you for your sweet words! Your Christmas wedding is one we will always remember. I still love looking at the photos on our Pinterest album!

    Best Venue Ever

    Forest Pond Lodge was an amazing venue to get married at. When my family and I first went to visit the venue, I knew at first site this is where I want my special day to be. Forest Pond Lodge offers a one stop shop. We rented for the weekend and was able to enjoy everything the property had in store for us. Patty offered around the clock help by being available and she was responsive within minutes. I wish I could give Forest Pond Lodge more than 5-Stars because they deserve it. Forest Pond Lodge is certainly the place to get married or even renew your vows. Thanks for all you have done for me and my husband.

    Capital A-mazing!

    I cannot say it enough how amazing it was to get married at Forrest Pond. My now husband and I both knew from the first time we saw it, it was our venue. Your breath gets taken away the second the venue comes into view while coming down their drive. And as gorgeous as the venue and lodge were, the owners Patty and Thomas made it just that much more worthwhile. Patty was very sweet, responsive and easy to work with.

    We loved having our wedding at Forrest Pond Lodge! We rented the entire venue and lodge for the weekend and it was so nice to have everything in one location. I also loved the multiple options for a wedding ceremony location.

    David lewis

    This venue is amazing! It has so much room for all your friends and family to enjoy. Not to mention how gorgeous it is. The owners are so great and make the process so easy. So worth it for the price. With most venues you get it for a day and a half for the price we paid for 4 days at this beautiful place.

    Forrest Pond Lodge's reply:

    Thanks for your complimentary words, David! We are love getting feedback from our grooms. We are happy to hear the wedding weekend was all you had hoped.

    Majestic and beautiful gem

    I cannot begin to explain how breath taking this venue is from the lake views to the spacious cabin everything was a perfect 10 I couldn’t have chosen a better place to say “I do” the fire pit was a great touch and a great way to gather the family around and talk and let me tell you we talked out there for hours thank you guys again for starting us off with such a beautiful beginning and when it’s time to renew our vows guess which venue we’re gonna choose to make it happen at…… Forrest Pond Lodge

    They are the absolute best!

    This is the most beautiful venue that we could have imagined for our wedding day. Mrs.Patty was always so quick to respond and let us come view the venue and showed us what all the property had to offer for our special day. It was the perfect location for our wedding and I recommend it to all of my friends for their wedding venue location.

    Forrest Pond Lodge's reply:

    Thank you Joanie for your kind words! Your "pumpkin spice" fall theme was absolutely beautiful here at the Lodge.

    Stunning, breathtaking, perfect

    This venue is more perfect than anything I could have conjured up. I was able to save money on decorations because the place is breathtaking by itself. Patty and Thomas put so much love into the place and made sure everything was perfect for our day.

    Russell/Williams Wedding

    This venue is absolutely beautiful, once we toured the property we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. Ms. Patty & Thomas were so accommodating and such a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend this venue, we had so many compliments and everyone had a great time here!

    Beautiful wedding site.

    Looked at a lot of wedding venues but Forrest Pond was by far the most beautiful site of them all. There are multiple places to choose to conduct ceremony and every setting is beautiful. Great value and great people to work with!

    Corbitt / Belcher Wedding

    This is a beautiful place to have an elegant wedding, with all the amenities. We rented the venue and the house for the wedding party, being so many came from out of town, everyone enjoyed the space and convenience of the grounds.

    Wonderful to work with

    This venue was the perfect choice! Most of the bridal party lived out of state, this venue and lodge accommodated all of the bridal party. We had the opportunity to visit and create many wonderful memories on and before our wedding day with our closest friends and family!
    The ceremony site was gorgeous!
    The Wrights were absolutely great to work with! I highly recommend Forrest Pond Lodge to any bride looking for a wedding venue or any family looking to spend some quality time together and make wonderful memories.

    Perfect Setting!

    Forrest Pond was a perfect setting for our son's wedding. While the venue is beautiful, the availability of the lodge to house the mostly out-of-town/state wedding party was a win-win for everyone. I would definitely recommend Forrest Pond to any bridal couple.

    Brandi Jordan and Steven Fanczi Wedding

    Forrest Pond Lodge was an amazing venue for my son's wedding and Patty was wonderful to work with; always helpful and quick to respond to our questions. All of our family and friends enjoyed the beautiful scenery. From the minute we arrived on Friday, we knew that we had found our little piece of paradise and felt right at home with the cozy accommodations. The reception was absolutely gorgeous and we enjoyed the intimate feel of the venue.

    Forrest Pond Lodge

    Forrest Pond Lodge made picking a venue easy. The owners were very helpful along the way to ensure our wedding was perfect. All of our guests were pleased and enjoyed their time as well. The guys stayed busy outside roaming the property fishing while the girls were able to get all dolled up for the big day. I highly recommend Forrest Pond Lodge to any couple!

    Superb Wedding Venue Experience

    Forrest Pond Lodge is an amazing wedding venue with wonderful lodging accommodations.  The experience from the first tour to signing the contract to our wedding day was superb.  We felt so special as if we were the only couple planning a wedding there.  Even though you may decorate and have a wedding theme, Forrest Pond is breathtaking in itself--a hidden gem.

    We had the BEST experience any bride could ask for! We instantly bonded with Thomas and Patty. They are such kind and down to earth people. The venue was breathtaking on the wedding day, and every guest could not stop talking about it. I was weary at first because I wanted an elegant look for my wedding and not rustic...but it turned out more beautiful and elegant than I could have ever dreamed. The lodge was perfect for the wedding party to all stay comfortably. We brought golf carts and made memories riding around the property. The guys had fun golfing and shooting guns. I could literally go on and on with how amazing the service and venue was.

    Patty and Thomas at Forrest Pond Lodge were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We booked our daughter's wedding there in October of 2017 and we couldn't be happier with our choice. It was a beautiful wedding and our guests couldn't stop saying how nice things were at both the lodge and venue. Much of the bride's family stayed at the house for the weekend so we could take care of all the wedding details. We rented a golf cart from a local vendor and scooted back and forth across the property as we set up, arranged the flowers, cooked, decorated, partied, rehearsed, etc. There was plenty of room for everyone to gather, mingle, cook, and work on all those last minute details. Everything we needed was right there in the cabinets/closets or within a short driving distance. Patty was easily accessible before, during, and after the event to answer all our questions. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to book a wedding, special event, or family reunion. There is plenty to do on the property for everyone. It is a beautiful property owned by good people.

    Forrest Pond Lodge is a beautiful setting for a wedding and the owners are wonderful to work with! You truly can not find a better place with everything that it includes. The lodge, the venue and the grounds are kept in pristine order and you can tell that Patty & Thomas care about not only the property but the satisfaction of the guests inquiring about it. They want each couple to have a memorable experience that will last them a lifetime.

    There were a few venues that I was interested in viewing starting off with. Forrest Pond Lodge (FPL) was the first on my list. Once I toured the facility, I found that it would actually be my first and last tour. . I don't have enough positive words to describe this place. Patty and Thomas, the owners of FPL, are so accomodating and are such wonderful people. They genuinely want to ensure that your wedding day is absolutely perfect. The grounds are perfect and pristine and they are very clear on what they provide and are responsible for. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!
