Carlee & Jared’s Wedding:
A Mid-September Celebration on the Shores of Canandaigua Lake
Nestled against the sparkling waters of Canandaigua Lake, there are days that feel suspended in memory — and then there are nights like the one Carlee and Jared shared at The Lake House on Canandaigua. From gentle breezes off the lake to the heartfelt promises spoken under the late-summer sky, their wedding day was a perfect blend of love, joy, and togetherness.
With its breathtaking lakeside location and elegant indoor spaces, The Lake House on Canandaigua provided the perfect setting for this extraordinary couple to begin their life together.
A Venue as Beautiful as the Love it Celebrates
The Lake House on Canandaigua is more than a wedding venue — it’s a destination.
Designed to make your whole weekend unforgettable, this lakeside resort blends natural splendor with thoughtful service and world-class amenities. Couples and guests alike can enjoy sweeping lake views, lush manicured gardens, and event spaces that transition effortlessly between refined elegance and relaxed lakeside charm.
Whether your ceremony is held on the lawn overlooking the glimmering water or in the timber-frame Event Barn surrounded by family and friends, every moment feels intimate and intentional.
Morning Beginnings & Lakeside Anticipation
The day began with golden light filtering through windows and soft laughter between Carlee and her closest friends. As dresses were zipped, hair was set, and toasts were shared, there was a palpable sense of anticipation — not just for the ceremony, but for the beautiful life these two are building together.
It was unmistakable: every moment was steeped in love and joy.
“You Always Light Up a Room”
One of the most striking parts of the day came from the the way people spoke about Carlee— not just as a bride, but as a force of joy.
“She has this genuine ability to just make connections with people that leave them feeling so loved and appreciated.”
Whether it was in laughter with her friends, or quiet moments with her grandparents, that sentiment echoed throughout the day.
Vows With a View
They chose a backdrop that feels emblematic of their story — a place where calm waters reflect sky and sky reflects the promise of new beginnings. As the late-summer sun danced across Canandaigua Lake, Carlee and Jared’s vows became the centerpiece of the day.
The setting was simple and stunning: manicured lawns, serene lakefront vistas, and the warmth of everyone they love nearby.
“Jared, you’ve made me feel loved in ways I never knew possible. I choose you today and every day.”
It was a moment filled with sincerity and laughter, capturing their personalities perfectly.
Family Stories That Made Us Laugh and Cry
There were speeches that made the room roar with laughter — like when Carlee's brother jokingly admitted their mom may have once doubted if she’d ever see this day — and speeches that brought tears to every eye.
“Jared, you’ve accomplished so much, but Carlee is without a doubt your greatest achievement.”
These weren’t just speeches; they were testimonials about two lives coming together, shaped by family, adventure, laughter, and love.
Celebration in the Event Barn
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, the celebration shifted into the Event Barn — the stunning timber-frame venue with wall-to-wall windows that perfectly frames the gardens and the lake beyond.
Inside, the space transformed into a dancing, laughing, unforgettable reception. With its built-in bar, dance floor, and elegant wooden details, it felt both refined and lively — just like Carlee and Jared.
The air was full of joy, old friends reconnecting, new memories being made, and music that swept everyone onto the dance floor well into the night.
