We spent three incredible nights at Lewana Cottages for our wedding, including a welcome dinner, our big day with the ceremony and reception, and an after-party. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the level of care and service provided by Errol and Nola was exceptional. The location is absolutely stunning, with incredible versatility and options that made our wedding truly unforgettable.
The accommodations between the cabins and the glamping tents provided by a vendor were exactly what we needed to suit our guests. Everyone has been gushing with compliments about the venue, and the recommended vendors exceeded all expectations.
Despite an unexpected curveball with summer rain, Nola went above and beyond to ensure our guests were comfortable—she was spotted running up the driveway with extra umbrellas to rescue some VIP guests from the weather. It was such a thoughtful and heartfelt gesture that exemplified the dedication and care the hosts put into every detail.
The dam was beautiful to swim in, and communication leading up to and during the event was seamless, making everything stress-free. We now have a lifetime memory to treasure and can’t wait to return to celebrate anniversaries in the future. Many of our friends are already asking about this hidden gem for their own events.
Thank you, Errol and Nola, for making our special day so perfect. You’ve created something truly magical at Lewana Cottages!
