Ceremony & Reception Venue
Everything about Silver Lake was outstanding. It truly was a great experience. I had a beautiful afternoon wedding in the West Gardens in July. It was a perfect backdrop for pictures during the ceremony. The grounds were beautiful for all other pictures as well. The staff were very friendly. Amy and Janine (Event Coordinators at Silver Lake) were so accommodating. They were able to change tables at the last minute, make special food for dietary restricted guests, provide water at ceremony site during that very hot 90 degree day and all those other little details. I was impressed with the price. The price that is quoted includes it all tax, gratuity, etc... I would hightly recommend this venue to anyone.

"Dear Donna & Howard,
My husband and I wanted to let you know how lovely we thought our son's wedding was last Friday evening in your chapel. We heard many times over from the guests at the reception that they were impressed with the ceremony, the grounds, etc. You deserve to hear the accolades personally, but I can only be the messenger.
Sincerely, Julie"
