Meet Cajun Lake Lodge: A Country Wedding Getaway
Wednesday, December 22, 2010
As you begin to plan for your wedding, you're probably considering the pros and cons of doing a destination wedding vs. one that's here in town. Maybe you're looking for a more rustic, outdoorsy locale? If that's the case, definitely check out Cajun Lake Lodge. Forty minutes west of Nashville, Cajun Lake Lodge boasts sprawling grounds with a great view of a lake and tons of greenery. They have a huge pavillion in which you can have your reception and an area just outside of it that's perfect for a fire pit or, should you run out of room inside, a tent for more people! They also offer accommodation options for you and your wedding party so you could make a whole weekend out of it!
