Trusted by Event Planners and Couples

The Fireside Lounge is absolutely stunning. Having the 8-foot copper fireplace going during our reception created such a warm and intimate vibe. Simply Elegant’s food was incredible, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the views from the terrace.

Wedding Reception

We loved the seamless transition from the indoor lounge to the outdoor terrace. Having tables, chairs, and the coat check already included made logistics so much easier for our corporate retreat. Plus, it being fully handicap accessible meant all our attendees were comfortable.

Hosting our private party for 110 guests here was a dream. The backdrop of the working ranch and the lake is truly spectacular, and the space felt perfectly intimate for our group. The Simply Elegant team took care of every detail, making it an unforgettable evening.
