Nature Lovers Dream Venue

​Jenny F.  Married on 08/29/2020

The moment we entered the gate and saw the wooded forest and historic buildings, we knew we found our wedding venue. Lacawac Sanctuary was the first and only venue we visited. We fell in love instantly. Lacawac has so much to offer and allows you to be creative with design, set up, and flow. From the restored barn, to the private lake, to the historic lodge and beautiful grounds (that allow for a large tent). As an event planner, I was in my element, finding inspiration everywhere. I enjoyed having the ability to select all of the vendors that would bring my vision to life.

Craig was great to work with during the planning process. He answered all of our questions and was very accommodating. He was able to work with us so we could safely host our wedding and get married in 2020 during a pandemic. We were the first couple to get married at Lacawac during COVID. We were able to keep our original wedding date, and since everything was outdoors, we had plenty of room to spread out and utilize all of the various spaces throughout the property. Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding, how much fun they had, and what a treat it was to get away to such a beautiful location.

We rented the Lodge and Ice House for the weekend and we all enjoyed it so much. Having the ceremony, reception, and lodging for family all in one place was fantastic. We can’t wait to go back. This nature sanctuary will always have a special place in our hearts.
What an amazing venue! It was beautiful, clean, well cared for, and the staff was exceptional throughout the process. 

Our DREAM Venue

​Nicole M. Married on 05/21/2021

After visiting countless venues in search of "the one" that would meet all of our preferences, we found Lacawac - a literal dream come true. We rented the entire property for two days of festivities, and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Not only are the views breathtaking, but the history of the grounds provided an unmatched "vibe" compared to other vendors that we had considered. Everything was up to our standards of excellence, and Craig, President of Lacawac, was an absolute pleasure to work with (including the accommodation of postponing our original wedding date due to COVID-19). We truly couldn't have had a more perfect wedding weekend, and Lacawac was the real MVP.

A Magical Weekend

If you are searching for a rustic, authentic wedding venue with historic buildings, dramatic nature settings, and an experienced, easy to work with  professional staff, look no further! At the Lacawac Sanctuary, you can have all of this in a unique locale AND aid the educational mission of the Sanctuary. As a family of educators, we were so proud to support  this non-profit Sanctuary, and have enjoyed the Cocktails for Conservation dinner held annually as well. We rented the historic Lodge and Ice House buildings for the entire weekend, and enjoyed a wonderful rehearsal dinner and party in the Carriage House.  The newly renovated bridal suite area upstairs was a perfect spot for our large wedding party to comfortably prepare for the ceremony.  The beautiful buildings, so rich in history, made the weekend the uncommon experience we were seeking for our guests. Initially concerned about potentially hot weather for our July wedding, the combination of air conditioned spaces and the cool forest setting made for a most comfortable weekend. Sleeping in the beautiful Lodge and enjoying breakfast together in the dining area provided unforgettable memories.  Craig, the experienced executive director, and his staff anticipated our every need,  and secured any needed rentals, working seamlessly with all of our vendors.  Whatever we needed, Craig was able to make it happen.  All in all, it was a magical weekend, and one that we will never forget!

Gorgeous, Easy to Work with, Great Cause

Julia S. Married on 05/21/2022

Lacawac was the first and only place we toured to get married. Craig was a joy to work with, incredibly responsive and accommodating, and the venue was able to perfectly execute on the vision we came up with. We got married beneath the trees, danced the night away in the barn, had a stunning cocktail hour on the grounds in front of the barn, and had a modern, colorful, and well-organized dinner under the tent. We loved Lacawac, our friends and family were so impressed by the beauty of the venue. If you're looking for a nature inspired wedding, you found the right place!
