Where can I start , my wedding took place this past Saturday the 8th, my husband and I booked this…read morevenue a year ago , I did my research online prior to booking and read the great reviews, we visited the lake house and fell in love with it. Since the very beginning we did not get a good vibe from the housing manager Sally. Her attitude was dry, careless and arrogant. But I chose to look beside it because I really believed this venue was the perfect place to make my rustic themed visionary wedding to life. I can basically say I reached out or called sally maximum 4 times for help with questions because I did not feel comfortable approaching her with her dry attitude. All this woman talks and brags about is her husbands job as a CEO of a drug treatment program , big shit. Now lets start with my experience on my wedding week PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING WITH SALLY, SO YOU CAN BE AWARE AND NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOU My fiance paid the venue in full three weeks before the event , Sally told us many months ago that if in the occasion that the night before our event , the venue was not booked we may go drop off our equipment and decorate the day before. Three weeks ago Sally verbally told my fiance, wedding planner, and I that we may decorate on Friday since it was not booked nor she believed it would be with such short notice. We are super excited and relieved that we were able to decorate the day before. On wednesday August 5th I called Sally for last minute questions and reconfirmed our arrival on Friday to drop off & decorate , Sally responds" Oh i am sorry an architecture business meeting/reunion will be held Friday you can no longer come to decorate" " I am sorry for last minute" .... ok so when was she planning to call me to tell me this ? Secondly, Sally continued to tell me that I can still drop off the decorations and store them in a room , on Friday August 7th between 9:00- 1:00pm Friday August 7th : My family and I load up 3 cars , and drive 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive to the lake house and NO ONE IS HOME. I call Sally and her voicemail states she is off and away August 7th, 21st - 30th . Thank you Sally for causing me a stress overload the day before my wedding. Very irresponsible of this housing manager to do this. I could not believe my eyes, I emailed her and recieved no response to this day!!!! Luckily a woman drove in that very moment, by the name of Mary Anne, which rents office space in the second floor , she opened the door for us and allowed us to store our things in a room upstairs. Mary anne and Dan were very helpful , and provided em with the care takers phone number Mr. Haas who I contacted later that afternoon to request for premises to be cleaned prior to my event. The caretaker was very helpful the day of our event and made sure everything was found clean and left cleaned at the end of the night. The last thing a bride or couple should go through is a stressful moment due to the venue in where we have paid so much money to have our wedding take place. I believed in this lakehouse and Sally's work ethics. I never would have imagined to have such a terrible experience. In addition to this she was not present the saturday of my event either. Neither did she request a copy of our bartenders liqour licence certification after driving us nearly crazy for this months before. What kind of unorganized , careless woman do you have running your business? Please look into this matter and please reach out to me, because I know this venue is owned by the city/county and not privately owned by Sally. There has to be management over her and I very much wish to be contacted I would not take my time to express such a long detailed review if I did not feel so disgusted by my terrible experience with this manager .

My wife and I recently had our wedding here in May. Our wedding day was amazing and are happy we…read morehad it here, but getting to that point took a lot. Let's start with the positives: It's beautiful, accessible, and reasonably priced for the location. The caretaker was accommodating a sweet. The scenery and unique setup of the house lends itself well to true photographic artists. Now for the negatives: There really was only one negative aspect of our experience, and that was Sally. She was fine to start with, but two weeks before our wedding told us that we could not have our caterer use his smoker on the property due to it being a fire hazard in a nature reserve. This would have been understandable had she, and the fire marshal, not already approved the use of an open fire pit on the property. Naturally this confused us and we tried to sort out the issue with the marshal ourselves. Long story short, she was being untruthful, was not up to date on the codes, and really just didn't want to damage the grass so she passed the buck to someone else. She was also very intrusive while we were setting up, and rude to everyone until she realized we had hired event planners with us. We would recommend this establishment to everyone, everywhere, save the detail of this woman being responsible for facilitating the event. Be cautious when booking with them, and get everything in writing well in advance.

He kept yelling at the bride and groom and saying nasty things. I would not recommend any interaction with him.

Service was bad too, dirty plates and other dinnerware. Half the Guests weren't served desserts either or coffee. Bartenders were rude, and watered down the drinks a lot, you were basically drinking Coke, juice or whatever they were mixing it with. They should not be doing that if it's paid for.

If you want to throw a party, this is the place to go! I had my twins Sweet 16 here recently and…read morethe owners/employees were so kind and helpful! We had a Glow in the dark party which included a lot of set up. They gave us the opportunity to come in not only the day before, but the day of, earlier than the alloted time we had. We moved a good amount of furniture to fit our vision and they had no problem with it. The one woman (Sorry I forget your name) was so helpful to the point where when we couldn't figure out the sound system with our android ( yes I know) she came back to help. The place has an abundance of outlets which was great since we had a bunch of black lights. We had the 360° photo booth which we were allowed to rent for as long as we wanted. The woman who ran it was very kind and the kids loved it. We also had enough room for another photo booth. At the end of the night, the wonderful woman came back and helped us clean some and told us to just worry about the bigger things and to leave the smaller things for her and her team to clean. I've already recommended this place to another friend and I'd definitely give this company more business when I need to throw another party. Thank you so much for everything, my daughters, their friends and our family had a blast!

The courtyard was beautiful and goes right into the Meeting House so I was able to have a bagpiper play in the courtyard as I walked down the aisle. The price for the wedding was incredible, we paid for an extra hour, the use of the full kitchen, (which is huge and industrial), we also paid to set up the night before and for them to clean up. With all the extra requests we had and all the extra time it was still incredibly affordable. I loved that I didn't have to choose a venue that made me use their baker and caterer. We chose our food and our favorite bakery. We were able to buy beer and wine cheaply and serve it via bartender. We saved heaps of money doing the wedding here and people loved the history that resonates from this place. You don't have to be a Quaker, Quaker's are incredibly accepting of everyone and this makes it great if you have a lot of guests that are different religions, or do not have religion. Everyone felt comfortable and welcome. Thanks again to the Burlington Meetinghouse, it meant a lot to us. Will post pictures of our set-up when our photographer gets them to us!

Breaking news: this place does Bridal Showers…read more My mom had rented this place out for my sister's sweet 16 back in the day, and I used to go to Zumba here, but I never considered it for a more formal sit down event. This weekend, I discovered another hidden gem for hosting Bridal Showers, which as many of you know, has become about 1/3 of my social calendar these days (the other 2/3 being weddings and bachelorette parties, naturally). Space -It's a large space with a parking lot in the back. Dark red curtains, and a wooden floor. There were maybe 6 tables of 10 organized in a semi circle in the middle of the room, with some tables for gifts at the front and a throne for the bride, and three large tables in the back for food. -The entrance is by the parking lot, not the street, so signs may need to be put up for guests unfamiliar with this. -A bar area was set up with sodas and lemonade. I think the hosts can bring their own alcohol if they want (but it's not provided by the venue, so unclear if they'd serve it or if it would be a self serve situation). Food -Food was catered by the venue and very good- simple and delicious pasta salad, potato salad, penne a la vodka, caesar salad, and make your own sandwich situation with turkey, ham, corned beef, roast beef, and salami, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. -Dessert was delicious too-mini brownie looking things that were actually (suprise!) chocolate mousse cups, mini cheesecake bites, profiteroles. Great spot to host an event! This particular one was 12 to 4, with a half hour alotted for cleanup before and after.
