What does your special day look like and where do you see yourself saying "I Do"? Have you considered the Northern Poconos? From outdoor weddings to an intimate indoor reception, here are a few perfect venues for you. These four beautiful venues are all unique in their own right and you will love checking them out.
Lacawac Sanctuary Historic Watres Lodge
Lacawac Sanctuary, in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, is a nature preserve that surrounds a 52-acre glacial lake. Lacawac Sanctuary was founded in 1966 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The sanctuary came about with the donation of 341 acres and now totals 545 acres. The mission of the sanctuary is to preserve the glacial lake, its watershed, surrounding forest, and historic buildings.
Declared a National Natural Landmark, Lake Lacawac is free from development and is the southernmost glacial lake in the hemisphere. It has been referred to as “the southernmost unpolluted glacial lake in North America” due to the owners being careful to not allow wastewater into the lake. This is what makes Lacawac so special for your special day!
Lake-side outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour on the first floor of the Historic Watres Lodge, then dinner on the lawn of the lodge in a beautiful tented space and dancing in the 20th century carriage house make for a fabulous experience throughout Lacawac on your wedding day. Your creative flair can be added to the treasures found around every corner. These treasures provide a unique atmosphere for you and your guests. The centerpiece of Lacawac besides the lake, is our Watres Lodge built in 1903.
Our newly renovated Ice House Cottage is the perfect place for the bride and her maids to prepare for the big day and it is also available for the newlyweds to stay in while they prepare and/or the night of the wedding. Clients love these special options for their wedding party. More information on Lacawac weddings at www.lacawaclodge.com.
The Settlers Inn, Hawley
Couples hosting their romantic wedding in the Poconos at The Settlers Inn will have the choice of a garden or riverside outdoor ceremony. After you’ve said “I do,” you and your new spouse can take wedding photos while your guests will enjoy a cocktail hour, which includes an open bar and a scrumptious selection of hors d'oeuvres.
A champagne toast will take place during the reception, which is held in The Undercroft Room. The lovely dining room features a fireplace, beautifully set with willow tree tiles, windows and glass-paned doors to enjoy the natural light, a stone entryway that leads to our gardens, and accents of cherry wood, glass art, and Arroyo Craftsman wall sconces. The Undercroft Room is warm, inviting, and serene, creating the perfect environment in which to celebrate your nuptials. (From Settlers Website).
