Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting milestones in life, but it can also be a whirlwind of decisions and logistics. Resort weddings, especially at Keefer Lake Lodge, offer a unique combination of charm, convenience, and unforgettable experiences. Here are the key benefits of choosing a resort wedding and why Keefer is the perfect venue for your special day.

One of the standout advantages of a resort wedding is the all-inclusive experience. At Keefer Lake Lodge, everything you need—accommodations, dining, event sites and activities— are offered in one breathtaking setting.

Our bundled packages include essentials like venue setup, catering, and wedding day amenities, streamlining the planning process and reducing costs compared to traditional weddings.
