Sugar Lake Weddings is a woodland fairytale wedding venue. They are located on 135 acre property…read morewhich now includes a new live music & performance venue Atmósfaira (Greek for atmosphere). I attended the latest concert by the wildly talented Dan Rodriguez and Giovanna Faye at this music venue. I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience. Atmósfaira concerts are typically located on the deck surrounded by the cathedral of trees and faux wisteria cascading from the sky. It's a dreamy setting. The forecast when I visited included rain so we were moved inside in a building with exposed brick walls and cabin vibes. There was gorgeous vintage velvet furniture (couches, chairs, and small tables) positioned closed together. Given the last minute relocation, the venue was well setup. Concert atmosphere was intimate and cozy. It felt like the artists serenaded us all. The artists were incredibly talented and warmly interactive. Drinks were available for purchase at the bar. I was very impressed with the quality of the honey pear mocktail (only $5). It was easily the best mocktail I've tasted - perfectly delicate and sweet. There was a food truck outside offering smash burgers and the most delicious lemonade for purchase. Parking was available onsite and guests were directed to their spots. The cost of the ticket was very reasonable - $20 for a memorable evening. I visited only the second concert organized by this venue, and it was felt that a lot of heart was put into organization. What about weddings? I think it's a gorgeous venue for a wedding especially for those seeking nature and forest setting. There are indoor and indoor options, lots of character, very cordial service, parking, and lots of land to roam. I loved this venue and event execution. I purchased tickets to the next concerts before even departing the venue. They happen every month, and you can find them on the venue's website. I can't wait to make more memories here! You should too!

Ok so I had my child there for a couple months. We noticed that the school horses were not well…read moretaken care of. One day she rode Ian and were told to give him his grain when he was done. When I did a big fat rat hopped into his grain pan. The grain was stored without lids and sometimes we're not fed at all. There stalls were mucked out once a week on Saturdays by lesson kids that received nothing in return. The waters were always low and on the dirty side. Some of the lesson horses went months without farriers(typically 4-6 weeks normally but these horses rarely got them done. )their hooves are all cracked and even when the lesson horses are lame they are still used. Vic was driven into his grave by having untreated blatter issues, cracked hooves and being used multiple times a day in lessons even when lame. Noelle also isn't good with children. Do you want a truck driver to train your children then Noelle's your gal. She is 90% on her phone and while my daughter was going there even though she was showing 2'3 and jumping courses Noell never advanced her past walk trot and on occasion canter. She also wreaks kid's confidence. There are horses living in the indoor arena and when there are lessons are put in the cross ties for hours on end. She lost A ton of horses due to her neglect Vic was only 20 when he passed I know horses well into there 30s. The horses are never turned out and never have time to be a horse. One of the girls there was paying for the farrier cause she felt so bad that Noell was neglecting them. Noelle also managed to misplace a winter blanket. In conclusion steer clear it has a terrible reputation with everyone in the area and it will not look good on your horsey resume. It will not help your kids take another $10 and take them elsewhere.
