The best wedding venue ever
It is hard to express how grateful we are to WFL. Our wedding in October 2025 was an absolute dream come true. We had our ceremony at the Canoe Club and the reception at the Clubhouse. Everyone at WFL was so lovely, helpful, and professional every step of the way. Our guests raved about the delicious food (esp the steak!) & drink, spectacular views, and wonderful staff. Extra special shout out to Michael, Maris, and Mary Catherine — they are truly the best!! We are SO thankful we booked our wedding there and would do it 1000 times over. Can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!!
