About the Owners:

Two engineers fell in love and decided to get married. They had dreams of building a business together, so that is what they did at the Wild Basin Lodge. They created an atmosphere of peace and calmness that they so desired for every couple. They understand what it is like to be stressed with wedding plans, so they built a business that allows them to walk through the process with each couple to meet their individual needs. They believe that "no two weddings are alike" so you get the sense that this is your very own venue the day of your wedding. It offers a small family feel that many couples desire and the owners are able to invest in personal relationships that create lasting memories.  They also make sure that weddings can be set for all seasons. No need to worry about snow or rain, this venue can accomodate it all!
