"The best wedding I have ever

"The wedding was made easy, fun, and beautiful, the facility was perfect and the food and service was outstanding. If planning another wedding at the lake, it would be at The Lodge."

-Carol Glennon, Mother of Bride

"In my opinion we would not have found a more beautiful place, or more helpful staff."

-Paul Pittman, Father of Bride

"The lake provided my dream atmosphere for the kind of serene wedding I had always envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful and intimate for us, and our families."

The Lodge of Four Seasons Japanese Gardens

Designed by Buffy Murai, who for 25 years served as the resident artist of The Lodge of Four Seasons. “If you go into any hotel in the United States, you find a beautiful lobby, elevator or escalator. But one thing hotels often neglect is to plant flowers and trees-living things.” And that’s why the Japanese Gardens were created at The Lodge of Four Seasons.

The Gardens were dedicated in 1989, and today are home to a rare collection of Japanese trees, plants and bushes. Running throughout the gardens are a series of pools, connected by canals and waterfalls. Within the ponds are live Koi, and children today can still feed these impressive fish.

Within the Gardens are the beautiful Clover Leaf Pool and deck, and excellent location for a group’s reception or party. Also within the Gardens is a bridge, and large seating area, an ideal location for a romantic walk at dusk, or a perfect location for a wedding ceremony, with up to 200 guests.

The Gardens also overlooks the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks, and even guest rooms align both sides, a preferred lodging location for over 25 years.
