This crystal-clear lake is known for its gorgeous sunsets and stunning views, making it the perfect setting for a romantic outdoor wedding. Couples can choose to have their ceremony and reception on the lakeshore or on a boat, adding a touch of adventure and excitement to their special day.

The wedding ceremony was held on the lawn overlooking Lake Wawasee. There were beautiful trees and flowers everywhere, including on the flower arch that created the perfect frame of the lake in the background. Boats drove past as the sounds of the waves crashing into the shoreline was the steady sound of the ceremony.
