Timber Lake Camp Reviews

We were married in late September of 2023 at Timber Lake Camp and it was an unbelievable weekend. We walked away not just filled with so much love and joy, but feeling so eternally grateful that we chose Timber Lake Camp as our venue and had the pleasure of working with their amazing staff. We were initially drawn to the venue for its stunning beauty and because we wanted to maximize quality time, fun, and ease for our guests. The idea of having all of our guests stay together at one property was hard to find for a group of our size (180 people). We also loved the idea of bringing our guests' inner child out and forcing them to disconnect for a couple days from the outside world. Thank gosh we found Timber Lake Camp and decided to book it. The entire weekend from beginning to end completely surpassed our expectations, even with unanticipated rain that caused us to make several last minute adjustments and decisions. The process of planning with Meredith was seamless and stress-free. She was available to speak whenever we needed to and passed along all of our information so carefully to the team that would be present for the actual event. The entire staff on camp for the weekend including Scott, Liz, and Sheila were amazing. They worked so hard to make sure our wedding weekend went perfectly and were able to help make last minute adjustments to handle the rain. So many guests came up to us raving about the service they received as they described feeling like everything was completely taken care of. They also raved about the food, which is really quite delicious. Guests were also blown away by how "us" the wedding felt. This was probably the most special and unique part of Timber Lake Camp as they allowed us to craft our perfect weekend. We had a bbq and outdoor kickball-esque game with a campfire on Friday night followed by a full day of camp activities on Saturday including a pickleball and basketball tournament. Our ceremony occurred later in the evening followed by cocktails and a reception in the gorgeous dining hall and new pavilion. This may not be everyone, but the "do it yourself," laidback, and flexile feel of Timber Lake Camp really captivated us. I could not recommend Timber Lake Camp more highly. It was a magical, joyful, insanely special weekend that we will never forget!

Meredith and Scott are the reason you book here! So kind, so professional and responsive. The rest of the staff were equally as kind and flexible able to help you figure out how to pull off whatever you can imagine. My wedding required a karaoke set up and several food trucks in lieu of catering and they made it happen. The place is stunning, the activities are so fun, this was a truly unique and memorable experience for everyone. Hoping to have our anniversary here again in a few years!

We got married at Timber Lake last September, and it was truly magical. The setting is gorgeous and it’s wonderful to have full reign of the camp. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming and always happy to help us with whatever we needed.

When we were first planning our wedding, we were first looking for a more traditional venue for a standard, one-day ceremony. We stumbled across Timber Lake Camp here on Wedding Wire, and we are so glad that we pivoted to planning a weekend affair. Choosing a venue like Timber Lake allowed us to create a multi-day event that was specific and meaningful to us and our guests. Having the full weekend meant we had time to have meaningful interactions with all of our guests, which is much more difficult during a one-day affair. Throughout the weekend, Timber Lake’s staff supported us from start to finish.

In the planning process, our coordinator, Meredith, was very accessible and we had multiple zoom meetings with her leading up to the wedding. She answered our long lists of questions diligently, and gave us all the information we needed to know.

Meredith worked with us to create exactly the weekend we wanted to create. There are several standard events they provide (the late night bonfire with smores was a hit with our guests!), but they are also open to any other activities you suggest. We had a cabaret night in their theater on Friday, a ballroom dance class the morning of the ceremony (so guests could learn a few moves!), and an arts and crafts table accessible all weekend long! They were happy to accommodate whatever activity we wanted.

Once we were there for the weekend, the staff was accessible and always looking to solve problems. The kitchen staff was incredibly generous in making sure that everyone was always happily fed. We felt well taken care of and always had someone to ask questions when they inevitably came up. Special shout out to Alice, who helped one of our groomspeople to decorate our arch with wildflowers picked on the campus!

We want to note that Timber Lake is not primarily a wedding venue, and it has all the advantages and disadvantages that entails. This allowed us to have the level of personalization and involvement that we wanted and that made our weekend so special. It also means the process is a little more hands-on for the couple and wedding party. We really enjoyed being part of setting up on the day before the guests arrived and having our wedding party there for an extra night to help, but we know that’s not for everyone. This may be less true depending on the caterers or wedding planner you hire, but we really loved that all parts of the weekend came from us and our loved ones. Also because the staff needed to deal with the camp, sometimes emails took a day or two to get a reply, but they were always answered thoroughly and within a reasonable amount of time.

We are so happy with our experience at Timber Lake camp and could not recommend it more highly to anyone interested in a personalized, full wedding weekend!

Choosing Timber Lake Camp as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It is such a unique venue that truly allows you to create a one of a kind wedding experience. There are few places where you can have all your friends and family in one place for a whole weekend, staying, eating, and hanging out all together. The fact that the grounds are stunning, the food is delicious and the camp activities are what kids (and adults!) dream of makes TLC a unicorn in the world of wedding venues. For our guests, it truly was a mini getaway. For us, it was a chance to get quality time to connect with and create incredible memories with our loved ones that went beyond the typical wedding experience.

But what really really sets TLC apart is the people. If you’re reading this, you probably already know how stressful wedding planning can be. Scott and Meredith do everything in their power to make the whole process as easy and smooth as possible. They were always available to answer questions and hop on calls. In an industry where many places have strict rules for the way things have to be done, their open-minded and “can’t hurt to ask” approach to our ideas made all the difference to us during the planning process. All throughout they maintained a friendly, calm demeanor that made us feel supported and put us at ease.

And that’s to say nothing of the rest of the TLC staff during our actual wedding weekend. Every single person we and our guests encountered at TLC was incredible. To be surrounded on our special weekend by their excitement, helpfulness, can-do attitude and kindness was invaluable and only added to an experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.

I truly can’t recommend Timber Lake Camp enough!

Timber Lake Camp was a wonderful venue. If you are looking for a venue where most or all of your guests can stay together and hang out all weekend, Timber Lake is ideal.

First, the grounds are amazing. The camp has a pool, lake, game room, movie theater, multiple basketball courts, a baseball fields, and probably 50 other things I’m forgetting. Your guests are guaranteed to have a great time. It’s also beautiful, secluded in the Catskill mountains, so your ceremony, reception, and photos will look great too.

Second, the food and lodging are fantastic. Every meal catered by the camp was delicious, camp-y enough to fit the setting but tasty enough to satisfy any picky relative. The bunks and private rooms are very comfortable with AC and their own bathroom. We’re not camp people and most of our guests weren’t either – but everyone was very comfortable.

Third, and maybe most importantly, the venue comes with a ton of staff and they are all wonderful and willing to go above and beyond. The staff set up the rooms, facilitated every aspect of the wedding weekend, drove our older guests around in golf carts, and basically tended to our every need. They were a joy to work with and made sure everything went off without a hitch.

Seriously, get married here. We are so happy we did.

We were drawn to have our wedding at Timber Lake Camp (TLC) after seeing a video of a previous wedding there! We reached out to this couple and they assured us it was the most magical weekend they ever had, and we in turn became friends and went all-in on our camp wedding. We were all set to wed in Fall of 2020, but then COVID hit, we were panicked about what to do, but Meredith of the TLC events team held our hand, listened to our concerns, and even helped to arrange to reschedule our wedding to the Fall of 2021 without any hassle or additional costs.We were so relieved and grateful!


So, now on to the lead-up to our wedding weekend! The TLC team was a delight to work with on site tours, Scott was super knowledgeable and laid back, and Reggie won us over with his intimate understanding of the camp paired with his enthusiasm and charm! They were great at keeping our planner in the loop and always had a team approach from start to finish. We are a very laid-back couple, so the TLC approach to planning was the perfect fit for us, as they are not micro-managers they serve up what they offer and then match your needs and energy.


When the start of our wedding weekend began, we and our guests were greeted and directed to our cabins with warmth and care. Our welcome events were amazing. The barbeque was flawless with Reggie at the helm! We hosted a Roller Disco at the Timber Dome (TLC's roller-hockey rink). The music system worked well, Scott was such a great help at making this all come to life, and it really was a dream come true. My only note would be to practice walkie-talkie communication with the staff at your venue tours, because it can become a little tricky to acclimate and make multiple welcome events run smoothly (In our case, barbeque, roller disco, and bonfire).


Now for the main event, the day went off without a hitch! Reggie and crew were at the helm for breakfast, and all of our guests fell in love with him. The activities for the day involved the waterfront, pool, zip line, and adventure course. The team at each activity station was more than gracious and helpful whilst always keeping safety at the forefront. Special shout-out to the zip-line and adventure course team for really allowing for flexibility for our guests. The ceremony and wedding reception were expertly prepared by the TLC staff and our vendors. All seating was set to our specifications, they really made that day easy for us by ushering and helping guests down the ceremony site and reception sites. The show stopper was definitely the saddleback mountain that served as the backdrop for our wedding and reflected creating a mirror image in the lake! Our ceremony and subsequent reception were absolutely magical, they managed to be a little elevated, a little casual, but all together unforgettable! The majority of our guests had never been to a camp wedding and were completely blown away by the experience and now over a month later I am still getting constant texts from guests saying that they're dreaming of going back to TLC. The weekend was absolutely transformative and it's everything that getting married should be it was a relaxing environment for folks to let their guard down, connect with each other, and celebrate not only the love of the couple getting married but love in general. I would get married there again if I could.

Everything about the weekend – the support and help from Jordan and his team, the food, the activities, the quality of the cabins and beauty and cleanliness of the camp – exceeded our expectations. The weekend was better than my husband, family, friends and I ever could have imagined and I would not change a single thing. From the moment we reached out to the camp, Jordan Cooper was professional, responsive, and provided us with enough information that we felt 100% confident moving forward with planning our dream camp wedding. Jordan provided us with information on vendors for rentals, reception servers, he invited us to visit the camp on every occasion we asked, and was quick to answer my questions. Jordan’s Google Drive planner helped us to organize the weekend timeline, menus, and cabins, and this support was huge in easing my pre-wedding anxiety. When the wedding weekend came, all staff at the camp was extremely accommodating and did not set any restrictions on how we wanted the weekend to run. TLC staff was readily accessible to help out our guests including those who needed a golf cart to get around. They made sure all activity areas were set up for us and they checked in on us throughout the weekend to make sure everything was running smoothly. My husband and I felt safe, confident in the process, and well-taken care of. And our guests still cannot stop raving about the weekend! They loved being able to take full advantage of the camp, including the pool and lake, basketball courts and hiking trails, etc., and loved this opportunity to reunite with distant family members, and appreciated the low-key, comfortable vibes of the weekend. My mom, who was not keen on the idea of a non-traditional wedding, is still raving about how impressed she was with the food that Reggie, Sheila and their team provided for each meal. In the word of my mom, “No wedding, moving forward, will ever compare to this!”

well how can we easily some up the experience my wife and i had at our wedding at TLC. TLC has been nothing less than SPECTACULAR. My wife and i want to personally thank Scott, Rob, Reggie, Sheila and the rest of the staff at TLC. Scott was basically our wedding planner. we honestly didn't think the wedding would go as smoothly as planned without an official wedding planner. Scott was literally a phone call away during the upcoming months leading to the wedding. we even met with him couple of times to hash out the final details for our wedding. Ive never received such service where his response time was so instantaneous. i couldn't have asked for more. scott and rob also helped facilitate team bride vs team groom games to keep everyone occupied. even the staff security at the front gate was on point. they had an iPad checking off every single guest and who was suppose to be there. apparently there is another timberlake camp venue hours away.(don't forget this one is in Shandaken NY). there was a family who had the wrong address and came to TLC unannounced. i was given a radio to be able to communicate with the staff and immediately Scott and his staff radioed me to confirm if we had known the guests. long story short they came to the wrong wedding. whether it was getting a wine bottle opener, transporting elderly guests,or transporting ice,the service at TLC is second to none. I been to 5 star destination weddings before and i would say the service and hospitality is by far better than any other wedding i been to. my guests till today rave about the service and food at TLC. my grandparents from korea never tried american food like the food at TLC. they loved it! Reggie even made coffee for my family late at night because my catering company that i provided for the reception had forgot. you can't go wrong with the food at TLC. i highly recommend TLC for any wedding.this has been the best time of our lives including our family and friends. thank you for everything!

Well, a big part of me doesn't want to leave a review for Timber Lake because I'm selfish and don't want other people have a wedding as PERFECT and AMAZING as we did. However, I will do the right thing. TLC was the best decision we could have ever made! Our wedding was the most unforgettable experience of our lives! Everything was above and beyond our expectations, from the second we drove through the gates right up until we sadly left that Sunday. Where to start... The grounds are beautiful and well kept with awesome views all over. Countless options for a beautiful outdoor(or indoor) setting. The food offered throughout the weekend was excellent, we didn't know what to expect going in as far as serving food to over 100 people at once but Reggie and Sheila killed it and everyone loved the food! The Staff! The staff are really what made the weekend what it was. Anything we needed was done immediately! Scott Glick ran the show like a well oiled machine. Between Scott, Reggie, Sheila, Robbie, Jordan, Nathan, Jamie, Owen, Dave, Erin (really apologize if I'm forgetting any of you guys), anytime that I would ask if the staff could do something for us, it would already be done. The staff were all some of the most hard working, friendly, easy to work with, awesome people that I've ever come across. Thank god for them taking care of every single thing, when I was in no condition to do so! Every person at our wedding is raving about how beautiful, perfect and fun our wedding weekend was. Now I'm just spending my time trying to figure out another reason/event to book TLC again!
Thanks Guys!

Timberlake truly exceeded all of our expectations. Our wedding weekend was a dream come true and our friends, family, our parents' friends, etc. are still reaching out to say how much fun they had, how stunning Timberlake was, and how impressed they are with how the Timberlake staff. One of the biggest compliments we've gotten (from quite a few people) was that they fear we've "ruined weddings" for anyone who has to try to plan a wedding after attending ours!

The camp did everything they could to meet our expectations and consistently went above and beyond.
It really was a dream to have our friends and family together in one beautiful place to celebrate from Friday night until Sunday brunch and Timberlake was the perfect place to do it.

Though everyone and every couple is different, some things that we loved the most:
- The adventure course! - we were torn whether people would use it / if it was worth the expense but in the end we did decide to open it up and couldn't believe HOW MANY people used it and had so much fun. People of every generation were dying to do the climbing wall and the zip-line. Even those who didn't climb or zip had a great time watching, cheering on, and photographing those who did!
- We planned our own adult minute-to-win-it games/relay races/silly time using games we found on pinterest and google and it was hysterical and served as a great opportunity for people to meet before the ceremony/reception.
- The dining hall transforms once you turn off those overhead lights and doll-it-up with some sexy lighting. In our case, our DJ came ahead of time do do some string lights through the rafters and some up-lighting on the walls and the place just looked incredible!

The food was good too and the kitchen staff feels like family by the time you leave!

Timber Lake Camp met all our expectations and then some! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just how we wanted it and the weekend went off without a hitch. The camp is breathtaking and it really brings out the inner kid in everyone. All of our guest are still talking about it! The facility is beautifully taken care of by there exceptional staff who is on call the entire time and really made us feel comfortable with all the events going on. We wish we could do it all over again!! We can't thank the camp enough for how great our wedding weekend went!!

My husband and I had the time of our lives at Timber Lake Camp! Our guests thought it was a unique and fantastic way to celebrate our marriage as well. While we did not get married at the camp, we certainly celebrated long and well at the camp! The staff was super helpful and so friendly. It would not be an adequate review without mentioning Josh and how tirelessly he worked with us both before and during our event to make sure everyone was happy and having fun the whole time. Reggie and Sheila in the kitchen were also outstanding and made sure our expectations and needs were met, exceeded, and anticipated. Not only did the staff do everything we asked and planned ahead of time, but they also jumped in when needed during the event, going beyond their actual duties.

If we were to get married again, we would 100% choose Timber Lake Camp without hesitation!

During our wedding venue search, we were really disappointed with how limited our options were and how much a cookie cutter wedding would cost. We started to explore unique venues and camp across Timber Lake Camp. It was perfect for us. Top 4 reasons why TLC was the best wedding decision we made:

1. Personalization: To be clear, this was a DIY wedding, but that was exactly what we wanted (you could get a coordinator). TLC had essentially no stipulations so we got to make the wedding weekend exactly the way we wanted it. There were small things like table setup and where the band would go, to larger things like getting to choose all our vendors (caterer, florist, band, etc.), no restrictions on the type of alcohol/beer we could serve, and getting to create a playlist to play over the loudspeaker during the day. We got to personalize the cabins for our guests, we got to have a lip sync battle on Friday night, and best of all, there was no curfew so the after party went well into the morning.

2. Weekend vs. 6 hours: Weddings are f*%&ing expensive. We were really having a hard time swallowing the reality that we were going to either spend tens of thousands of dollars on a 6 hour party or have to make some serious cuts to our plans, including our guest list. While TLC was still expensive, it was still less than other places we looked at AND it was for an entire weekend. I cannot underscore that enough - we got to spend quality time with every single guest that came because we had family there Thursday, guests on Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. Old friends got to catch up, new friends bonded at sporting events, the whole weekend was relaxed because we had so much time with everyone. I understand that not every wedding can be a weekend event, but it made sense for us. My parents who were initially hesitant about a camp weekend, ended up getting VERY on board when they realized it would essentially be a family reunion. If we were going to spend money on a wedding, I'm happy it went to a wedding that was exactly the way we wanted it and longer than an evening.

3. Flexibility: Everything we wanted to do was a yes from TLC. We got to have a Lip Sync Battle in the Playhouse. We got to have an early morning ceremony so there was more time for activities during the day. I got to ride in on a fire truck and my husband got to canoe in to the ceremony. We got to have bonfires both nights. We got to set the time of the reception. We got to go wherever we wanted on the grounds. Our friend's dad ran a spin class in the cycling studio. We had pizza delivered for the after party. We got a say in the meal menus. It really made it all worth it because we had complete control over our wedding.

4. The People - Reggie, Jordan, Sheila, Scott, Jay. Every single person we worked with was wonderful. They helped us plan each detail of the whole weekend. They went out of their way to make sure the guests had a great time. Everyone hugged Sheila and Reggie good bye on Sunday as if they had had us all over to their home for the weekend. Jordan was with us all day making sure we had transportation to photo spots and then back to activities. He made day of adjustments when we had a few guest list changes. Everyone was warm and welcoming and so lovely to work with.

I can't imagine getting married anywhere else.

TLC surpassed our wildest summer camp wedding dreams: swimming pool,zip line,climbing wall,water slide,ropes course,canoes,paddle boards,bonfire,s’mores,sports&a talent show! Guests slept in shared cabins & also nice private rooms! Cleanliness&comfort of the housing and bathrooms were priorities: TLC definitely checked those boxes. Grounds are well-kept & conveniently laid out: like a "summer camp country club” or “if Disneyland were a summer camp” Staff was also A+. Meeting Scott after first touring the camp solidified our choice of TLC. Through the process Scott was hospitable,professional,friendly&fun. On wedding wknd, the members of the team were all “YES” people. I joked, “I’m waiting for the moment you say ‘no’ to one of my requests” (It never happened) Scott&Jordan have such calm and can-do attitudes:comforting for a stressed&anxious bride! Reggie&Sheila, in addition to clearly working hard & making AWESOME food, they also seemed to have a great time and truly care for us. The owner, Jay even helped! The team happily stepped up to every request, & even joined our festivities! By the end, they felt like family. Couples looking at TLC, I will say: weddings are a secondary & new business venture for the camp. In addition to camp, they host other events before, during and after. I say this only because responses are delayed. Rest assured, emails always do get a response with thoughtful attention. Have patience knowing that the people responding to your emails are the same people who are manning those other events. This means they are incredibly attentive and hands-on for YOUR event too! If you are “more traditional” & require a bit more hand-holding in planning, you may want to explore other options. TLC IS a summer camp not a 5-hour event space hosting weddings every weekend. If you are specifically looking for a truly spectacular & unique summer camp wedding at a breathtaking location, with some really lovely, kind & FUN people, without a doubt, check out TLC!

Our wedding at Timber Lake Camp was unforgettable, and our guests still tell us how unique and special the weekend was!
When looking for a venue for our wedding we wanted unrushed time with our guests, a beautiful ceremony location, and a place that captured the relaxed bliss of a summer lake getaway. Winding up the road to get to our site visit, the treeline opens up to TLC's well-kept grounds within the mountains. We knew it was what we were looking for.

As we began to plan with Meredith, she was always willing to schedule a call with us, welcoming all our questions (there were a lot). She made time in her evenings for us; always with a positive attitude when exploring customizing activities, meals, and set-ups. I am so grateful to her for her help in what was a stressful time.

When our guests began arriving, the TLC staff welcomed our guests at the gate, gave directions to the parking lot, and seamlessly coordinated golf cart transportation to their cabins. Willow, Craig, Liz, Sheila and numerous other staff members were always kind and willing to help. Scott, our main on site contact, had such a calming demeanor and was immensely helpful.

Under the beautiful brand-new outdoor pavilion (we had no idea this was being built!) the meals were delicious!! We had multiple guests that commented on the quality of the food.
As a former wedding planner, I will note that this type of wedding weekend does add additional planning on your plate! There is no cell service on site and cabin plans are like a seating chart times ten! The biggest challenge was finding/creating a website (that doesn't keep a large $%) for the guests to purchase accommodations for the weekend rather than an easy RSVP.

Inevitably, with any venue you are going to run into a few hiccups!
1. Upon arrival with an hourly detailed Thursday set-up plan (our immediate family came in early to help), the dining hall was not ready. There was actually a band camp still on site that we weren't aware of, on campus until Friday. My family and I had to work late into the evening and shift Fri plans after it was set- everything worked out, it was just a stressful note to begin on.
2. The groom's brother was driving overnight to allow his baby to sleep with plans to arrive at 1am. We noted it on the shared excel sheet, talked with Meredith multiple times about it, discussed it with Scott more on site, and unfortunately the cabin was locked. They arrived and couldn't get into their room, having to share/set up the baby in one of the bunk rooms for that night.

Additional Considerations:
While there are many aspects of the venue that are bundled, there are additive costs to consider.
The pool + lake are not included in the venue, in order to swim it's an additional $1200
$3000 for the zip line and climbing wall (we opted to keep them closed)
$300 venue insurance
$100 additive bonfire fee
$$$ Reception Dinner - Catering, Beverages, DJ, Linens, Decor (note: you can't have candles at this venue), Flowers, etc
$ Ceremony - If you don't want white plastic ceremony chairs, you may want to factor in rentals

We overall truly cherished the full weekend and are infinitely grateful to the team that helped make it happen!! I hope this is helpful.

Timber Lake Camp proved to be the *perfect* place for us to have our wedding. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed, and maybe even adventurous wedding--this is it!
Grounds and cabins: Before booking with Timber Lake, my fiance and I toured a variety of summer camps, looking for a place that could provide our guests with an entire weekend of fun, as well as affordable lodging and meals. Timber Lake was by far the most beautiful camp out of any we've seen. The grounds are gorgeous--surrounded by mountains, small lakes, and forests. Additionally, the buildings are by far the nicest I've seen at any camp. The cabins are clean, air-conditioned, and in tip-top condition, and there are a variety of private cabins with full size and queen size beds to accommodate older guests. Our younger guests had a blast staying in bunks and getting to re-create memories of camp weekends as kids.
Activities: We were able to fit in so many activities during our wedding weekend that people who have seen our wedding photos have asked me how it was possible to do so much. On Friday we had a rehearsal dinner BBQ with a musician, a campfire, and a comedy show in the Playhouse (a TLC theatre-like building). On Saturday we used the high ropes course, zip line, water slide, kayaks, row boats, and pool. Our guests also played golf, tennis, basketball, and went on hikes up the private trails to the mountains surrounding the camp. After our ceremony and reception, we went back to the Playhouse for karaoke, foosball, ping pong, and games. Multiple guests have reached out to me in the following weeks to tell me it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Even the older folks who were skeptical about a camp wedding kept talking about how much fun they had, and how they enjoyed getting so much time to catch up with/meet other people over the course of the weekend.
Staff: The staff are wonderful. Reggie, the dining hall manager, and Sheila, the chef, were exceptionally warm and eager to help us with any dietary needs for any guest. Scott, Lisa, and Willow were very attentive, responding to walkie-talkie calls immediately. When it rained for a few minutes before the ceremony, they immediately arranged for towels to be brought in to dry the seats. When the reception ended, they quickly set up the karaoke machine in the Playhouse. They also have a relaxed, can-do attitude and are quite flexible about making your dreams happen.
Flexibility: It's hard to think of any other type of wedding venue that can give you the same flexibility as a camp. There are no curfews or noise limitations and you can play music/let the reception run as late you want. They don't have a "preferred vendor" list and you can hire anyone you want. You can also purchase and bring in your own alcohol which can save quite a bit of money. Scott and his team are so flexible that they allowed my fiance and I, as well as our parents, to come in on Thursday to start setting up.
Communication: Once at the camp, communication is quick and efficient. During the actual planning process, communication was a bit slow because it was often a two-step process: first, reaching out to the wedding coordinator of TLC, then waiting for her to reach out to the camp leadership. Luckily, it turned out that any miscommunications we did have ended up working out of the best. For instance, we thought TLC didn't have certain items available (e.g. a curtain to break up the space in the reception hall), however, once we arrived at the camp, we discovered those items were available after all. Don't be put off by this! Although planning was a bit confusing at times, I still can't believe how much fun I had and I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable wedding.
In summary: have your wedding here!

We LOVED our wedding and have Jordan and his staff to thank for such a wonderful experience! They were always willing to accommodate, so it is important to know what you want or coordinate with Jordan on what you need guidance/input on. We wanted our guests to enjoy our wedding as much as we did and Timber Lake Camp made that possible.

Our wedding weekend at Timber Lake Camp (TLC) was the most amazing weekend of our lives! Jordan and the rest of the staff were super accommodating all weekend long, making sure we had what we needed for our beautiful wedding AND ensuring that we had three days of the most fun ever. Guests were gushing throughout the event, and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards! Not only was the weekend the best that my husband and I could’ve ever dreamed of, but it created memories of a lifetime for all of our guests. Many were saying that it was the wedding of the century! Reggie and Sheila cooked delicious food for every meal (note: we had an outside caterer for the reception) and were able to accommodate some special menu requests. The cabins were cozy and welcoming for the guests staying onsite. We had upmost flexibility in transforming the dining hall for our wedding reception, and TLC was super helpful with all the vendors we brought in. The outdoor activities (pool, lake, rock climbing, zip lining, and kickball) helped bring out everyone’s inner kid. It really was the best weekend ever! Thank you Jordan, Reggie and Sheila … and everyone at TLC!

Timberlake Camp management and staff helped make our wedding truly unforgettable. It was the best day of our lives. I would be very clear with them about your intentions and ask lots of questions so as to avoid any confusion. You can't beat the views- just check out our picture on their site, we're the couple sitting on the bench with the mountain behind us. I have to mention that one of the best parts was having all our friends and family in one place for a few days. It was as though our wedding lasted for three days.

We, like many other brides and grooms had an expectation of what our wedding day/weekend would look like... With all of the planning, work effort and love that went into it, we'd expected it to be the best weekend and day of our lives. Our expectations had been clearly explained in detail with our "event coordinator". However, they WERE not even close to met.

When we arrived many of the cabins were still dirty from the weekend before. Half of the private cabins (that we'd been promised were going to be fully renovated) were disgusting and filthy.. with graffiti written on the walls, and dirt, grime and empty liquor bottles among them. OUR BRIDAL SUITE had a moldy fridge, and dirty linens wrapped in a ball on the floor, along with the filthy towels from the weekend prior. Our BRIDAL SUITE REMAINED THIS WAY FOR THE DURATION OF THE WEEKEND, EVEN AFTER REPEATEDLY ASKING FOR IT TO BE CLEANED ON THURSDAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

Our Event Coordinator didn't show up until about 8pm thursday... alone... We had been promised a team of 6 staff to help us with setup.. Instead, we had our family running around in a commercial kitchen cleaning the glassware and silverware We had to move every single table and chair in the dining room ourselves to set it up. (Thankfully Reggie was able to help us with some of this) Our question is... where was the rest of the staff? I certainly didn't expect I would be breaking my back the two days before my wedding day!

We froze all weekend since they only provided tiny space heater jokes that would kick off the electricity when used. The dance studio i was supposed to get ready in had a broken window, and i put my gown on in a hallway, I CAN GO ON... but the character limit will not allow, if you'd like more info feel free to email me jacvecchione@gmail.com. SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE AND DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE.
