feature|weddings Lakeside Wedding Destination Lake Anna For a unique and beautiful destination wedding, check out lovely Lake Anna When a newly engaged couple begins considering possible wedding locations, there’s an allure to the idea of a destination wedding. Most people think exotic locales and Caribbean vistas, but this often excludes close family and friends who can’t afford an expensive excursion. If you want the excitement of a destination wedding without the expense or inconvenience, why not think a little closer to home? With its convenient proximity to Northern Virginia and Washington D.C., Lake Anna is becoming a destination wedding hot spot for NoVA couples. Lake Anna is a beautiful locale. The shimmering water reflects on the verdant landscape, lush with trees and wildlife. This serene and peaceful setting is the perfect backdrop for the most memorable day of your life. With the growing cost of big city weddings, the natural beauty of Lake Anna can provide a more economical choice. Venues If you are not a frequent visitor to Lake Anna’s shores, you may be at a loss as to where to begin the wedding venue search. Lake Anna is the perfect backdrop for any wedding ceremony or reception, and because the lake is a popular summer getaway, there are tons of rentals available throughout the year. Rental homes in Lake Anna come in a variety of sizes, from small cottages to large estates. Big yards leading to beautiful docks can serve as both the ceremony location and transition into a perfect reception spot. State of the art kitchens can be used by catering staff to feed your guests. If you plan your wedding after the peak season, most rentals are available at a discounted rate. A rental home wedding also has the advantage of extra accommodations for your guests. Invite your nearest and dearest the week before the wedding, and make it a holiday! And since you’re lakeside, why not have a playful reception? Bring out your swimsuits, and dive in for an afternoon of swimming and tubing. Your guests will never forget the experience! 20 LAKE ANNA GUIDE | 2017/2018
