I attended a good friend's wedding at Severn Lodge this weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was great, the food excellent, and there was always something to do. At most weddings, you need to find ways to kill time between the actual events (ceremony, supper, dance, etc), which usually means hanging out at the hotel with nothing to do. The morning of the wedding I was able to go kayaking, play some tennis, horseshoes, ping pong, and just relax on the dock with a magazine. Other guests made full use of the heated pool and the lake to get in a quick swim before the ceremony . . .

Severn Lodge is definitely one of our top choices and we were very impressed with everything and would recommend it to others. Actually, when we visited and were eating in the dining room a family sitting next to us asked if we were thinking of having our wedding here because they first came to Severn Lodge 15 years ago for a wedding and loved it so much they've been coming every year since. What a great testimonial and in person too!

We both had the most amazing day of our lives. Everyone's hard work at Severn Lodge truly showed and made for such an enjoyable weekend. We know many of our family members were amazed by the location and the atmosphere that was created. We're looking forward to celebrating our anniversary with you guys next year and perhaps for dinner in the fall.
