Look at that picture. Can you fathom a more idyllic setting for you and the person you love to say your vows? You’ll remember the wedding because it’s your wedding; a majority of your guests will remember your wedding because of the jaw-dropping backdrop. Regardless, your wedding will be a memorable one.Look at that picture. Can you fathom a more idyllic setting for you and the person you love to say your vows? You’ll remember the wedding because it’s your wedding; a majority of your guests will remember your wedding because of the jaw-dropping backdrop. Regardless, your wedding will be a memorable one.

Weddings of all settings can be accommodated. Want a wedding that looks like the award scene at the end of Star Wars: A New Hope? Bring 300 of your closest family and friends! Prefer a more intimate ceremony? Reserve the private club/bar area for a night of luxury. Your very own event coordinator will take care of everything that you don’t want to. The ceremony itself can be inside or outside, but obviously the Lodge recommends being surrounded by the Ozarks’ majesty. End the night in the spacious banquet room, dancing til you can't dance no mo’.

Is there a better way to get hitched than outside, surrounded by towering pines and majestic mountains, with dozens of your families and friends looking on? The answer is an unequivocal NO.

Look out any window at Saddleback and the only thing you’ll see is mother nature’s glory. The Ozark Mountains provide an immaculate setting for your wedding, so much so that your guests might have some trouble keeping their attention on the ceremony over its intangible glory. Inside, you’ll be impressed with the lodge’s tall vaulted ceilings, log accents, and casual lodge décor. The lodge is cozy, homey, and full of enchanting charm. Channel your inner Disney princess (even if you’re a guy) and celebrate love surrounded by nature’s bounty.

Highlights

Be sure to bring your camera and binoculars as you are sure to encounter plenty of deer, turkeys, squirrels, and an occasional bear!
