Nestled among gently rolling hills, Lake Forest Country Club is one of Hudson’s hidden Gems. Though a private club, Lake Forest Country Club specializes in both intimate and large weddings.

From a photographic point-of-view, Lake Forest Country Club offers an amazing balance of outdoor spaces and historic architecture. The exterior of the clubhouse welcomes you with historic Tudor aesthetics and is surrounded by mature greenery, a picturesque lake, and a breathtaking bridge. Walking through the indoor space, the ornate hand carved dark wood accent historic architecture. Lake Forest Country Club has found an amazing way to combine warm historic architecture and modern amenities setting the perfect stage for your event.

Having worked on their grounds many times over the years, I can’t say enough good things about Lake Forest Country Club.

From a vendor’s standpoint, their staff is best described as a well oiled machine. They are talented, fun to be around, and super accommodating. The indoor spaces are designed in a way that every room feels intentional and different while still being photographically cohesive. From large scale architecture to beautiful crafted nooks and crannies every square foot screams old school elegance.

And finally, from a visitor’s perspective, there are very few places that can combine an upscale feel while creating an environment that promotes casual fun. Everything you could want is nestled into an easily traversable grounds without feeling packed in.

Pro Tips

Plan Ahead
Ensure you set time aside before your guests arrive to take advantage of the texture rich indoor spaces for photos.
Multi Purpose Spaces
The lakefront patio, where outdoor ceremonies take place, doubles as an elegant & casual cocktail hour space.
Year Round Beauty
Tour Lake Forest’s grounds around the same time your wedding will be. Each season compliments the space differently.
Unique Vision
Lean on your photographer for photo location suggestions. There are many well-known spots that will top your photo locations list, but there are many nooks and crannies that photograph beautifully as well.
Golden Hour
Be sure to set a little bit of time aside for golden hour photos (the final hour before sunset.) Gervasi's vineyards are stunning as the sun gets low.
Glam Travels
