We had a great experience with The Venue at Stockton Lake! Chasity was always helpful and answered any questions I had throughout the planning process. She also worked with me on being able to come out and see the venue and go through the Something Borrowed room, which I really appreciated. I loved that there was space for outdoor games, and they even had cornhole boards we could use! Overall, it was a great place to have our wedding, and I would recommend it to other couples looking for a venue.

Oh my gosh! I can’t say enough good things about this venue and its owner! Chasity was such a blessing to me and my husband right off the bat! She was so kind and funny and answere...
d my 10,000 questions with complete patience! They have an entire shed area full of things you can borrow to add extra touches to your special day and you can come look at them as many times as you need beforehand. She walked us through the sound system multiple times to make sure we knew how to work everything with Ease and came to check on us a few times to see if we needed anything from here during our two days we rented the space! She is such a kind soul and truly amazing to work with! And the location is AMAZING! The venue itself is so beautiful, and the pond fountain duo and lake views just add to the rustic elegance of the whole scene. I could never have imagined being able to afford having my wedding at such a beautiful venue even in my wildest dreams, but Chasity helped make it all happen! I had the wedding of my dreams and will never ever get over how beautiful it all turned out.

need to decorate because of how naturally beautiful it was inside. Working with Chastity was a breeze. She was available to help us any time we needed it and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Not to mention how personable she is! We can not recommend this venue enough with all of the beautiful scenery to take pictures within and outside the property. The Cabins at Stockton Lake were also a big perk, which were within walking distance and we LOVED being able to walk between The Venue and the Cabins! We could not recommend The Venue and Chastity enough!!

Upon entering the venue you will be met with a beautiful blank canvas, awaiting your creativity. The smell of cedar, authentic light fixtures, all add to the beauty. Do yourself a favor, take the drive, and view this beautiful venue.
