Lodge At Little Seneca Creek

Note: I did not use this venue for an event of any sort.
I have been at this venue for an event and everything from the lodge to the gorgeous green grass field behind the lodge is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to host an event here one day.
This review is for the reservations manager, Justin. I had called, extremely last minute, inquiring about the availability of the lodge and while it was not available, the normal thing would happen would be to say thank you and hang up the phone. Soon after Justin told me that the lodge was unavailable, he quickly starting spewing off all the other venues in this area he could think of and gave me names of POC’s and their information to contact them. He was so incredibly helpful that I definitely want to use Lodge at Little Seneca Creek one day in the near future. Knowing that they have such a great reservations manager makes me optimistic about the rest of the staff.
Thank you Justin for being so kind and spending 5 – 10 minutes of your time helping me when it was not necessary.

Great venue for a wedding and the staff is exceptionally nice. Had great weather and a lot of fun! The staff bent over backwards for us and because of them, it was a memorable wedding. Would recommend for your next special occasion.

The Seneca Lodge is absolutely beautiful! My husband and I loved everything about the wedding venue. The location is situated near the woods and has an expansive green lawn, which makes for a gorgeous backdrop. There is also an option to rent out the tent in the yard, but we declined that option. When you first walk into the lodge, it gives off a very rustic, yet intimate and romantic feeling with great lighting and a fireplace in the center. The vaulted ceilings make the space seem a lot bigger, yet it was still cozy for our 110 guests. The AC and ceiling fans do a great job in keeping the room cool, which we were very grateful for in the summer heat. The bridal room downstairs was recently renovated, and it had a couch, private bathroom and space for our entire bridal party.
Lastly, the staff at the lodge were friendly and approachable. They were accommodating with last minute changes to our layout, and they answered every question we had. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

This is such a beautiful venue. I give this place 4.5 stars. I love everything about my wedding venue except for the fact they do not give us enough time to set up. I had to buy an extra hour for my wedding planner to set up. Extra hours add up because each hour costs about 300 $. For that one reason I deduct .5 stars.
But if you are a bride who is looking for a rustic and whimsical wedding this is the perfect venue. I loved everything from the industrial overhanging light fixtures to the deep vintage wooden walls. When I walked into my wedding space, I was in love. The venue really captured my rustic and whimsical wedding theme.
The space is small and intimate so I would not recommend the space for brides looking to have a large wedding. The most this space holds is 120. I had less than a 100 guests and it felt perfect.
I can’t image having my wedding anywhere else. It was just what I pictured.

Great location to host an event, the venue works well, plenty of lawn and indoor space.
Good parking, and easy to get to, even if you are coming by MARC Train!

The Lodge is such a beautiful place! If you are looking for a venue with an outdoorsy nature feel that is affordable, the Lodge is a great choice. It costs less than Brookside Gardens or Woodend Sanctuary and has a fantastic forest in the back which you can take pictures in (if you don’t mind the occasional spider crawling on your dress). The venue consists of an entertainment hall with log construction, a stone fireplace, and a very nice deck in the back, which is perfect for a bar and for folks to hang out on. The back lawn is spacious and there is room if you want to place a tent there for shade. There is plenty of space in the field area if you are having an outdoor ceremony. The venue also has dinner tables, dinner chairs, cocktail tables, and outdoor chairs available for use at no extra charge.
We visited the Lodge once during an open house and decided immediately that we liked the place. The open house sessions were frequent and useful for us to visit without setting up an appointment. The events coordinator and some of the vendors that show up at the open house give useful input based on their experience with other events that have taken place at the Lodge. On the day of your event, you are assigned a coordinator who will let the vendors into the venue and let them know where everything is. Booking was very simple and I did not have to have a lot of back and forth with the scheduling staff for the initial reservation, add-​ons, and making payments.
There were about 120 people at the reception. In terms of space, our dinner was plated so we didn’t need extra space for buffet tables, but we did have a fruit and cheese display on two tables against a back/​side wall and a dessert/​candy table along the side of the fireplace. There were between 8 and 10 people per 6ft round table and a long head table. We had a good-​sized dance floor and dj and we didn’t find it hard to move around when visiting each table. It felt cozy in an intimate way. None of the guests complained about space, but our families are thankfully filled with easy-​going people. We used the enormous back lawn for activities like badminton, bubbles, bocce ball, hula hoops, and a moonbounce (best decision ever; don’t worry, your mortified mother will get over it).
I am 100% satisfied with my experience visiting, booking, and celebrating at the Lodge. It was an elegant, warm, and inviting space close to nature to host our family and friends.

Great location for a wedding or private event. I attended a wedding reception here over the weekend and it was the perfect set-​up. I would say it comfortably fit 75 – 100 people indoors leaving room for the appetizer and mains set-​up, DJ, and dance floor. There is also a great patio out back looking over a vast green field, perfect for an outdoor wedding.
The lodge is dark wood and the perfect event space whether you are going with rustic/​casual or upscale. There is also ample parking.
