Testimonials

We had such a great time working with Elk Lake and all their staff. From the very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. I was able to work with their onsite coordinator and work out many of the details ahead of time, which allowed me to be more free to enjoy all the other details of wedding preparation. As we got closer to the actual day, everyone at Elk Lake went out of their way to make our day special. The coordinator, Darcy, maintained close contact with me during our stay, and helped my husband and I and all our guests get organized, transported and ready to go. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The site location was so beautiful and the weather was perfect. The reception site was right next to the ceremony site making for an easy transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. The reception went so smoothly that my husband and I felt comfortable enough to just sat back, relax, and let the party unfold. We decided to bring in live music and the sound was perfect. The day and night was one to remember, and we will forever be grateful to Elk Lake for helping to make our wedding a truly magical day.
- Natasha and John Baldwin
Darcy and her team made my wedding experience absolutely perfect, I can’t recommend them and Elk Lake enough! When my husband first proposed, the first place we considered was Elk Lake. As a location, the forest and waterfront space is breathtaking, especially for those of us that love the outdoors. The venue is a perfect balance of nature, but with enough amenities that any wedding guests who are used to a big city won’t miss the creature comforts.

I did shop around before making a deposit, and although there isn’t anything else quite like Elk Lake in Central Oregon, I still found that their pricing was very fair. Being a type A bride, Darcy answered my many questions quickly and was always helpful and honest with anything I asked in the months leading up to our event. On the big day, she made herself 100% available, communicated with my vendors, and made sure that at least a dozen little things were taken care of that I didn’t know were issues until after the day. Her personality is cheerful and calming, and I would absolutely plan another event with Darcy and her team at Elk Lake in a heartbeat!
