Editor’s Letter
With Love, the Lake...
“I want to get married by the lake.” “We love the Lakes Region. It’s our happy place and we want to get married there.” “I’ve always dreamed of a wedding by the lake.” These are often-heard sentiments of couples planning a Lakes Region wedding. The recent pandemic surely has not stopped that idea and indeed, the desire for lakeside weddings has only increased. At Lakes Region Bride, we know couples love the area and especially the lakes and mountains. This year, we decided to bring the lakes front-and-center and it was a joy to plan a wedding photo shoot as close to the water as possible (page 9). We also sought a Real Wedding Story that took place lakeside at the Margate on Winnipesaukee in Laconia (page 43). These beautiful photos show just how special the lake is and how it enhances a wedding. The area has so many great places, so we are also featuring weddings at some fabulous locations in the Lakes Region countryside. Each and every wedding is full of wonderful ideas to inspire. The good news is that Lakes Region wedding professionals offer so much creativity and expertise, you cannot go wrong with a celebration in the area. Read on and enjoy the lakes and the mountains and - of course - your wonderful Lakes Region wedding. Happy wedding planning,

Your Dream Realized
The Almagra Barn at Waukewan Golf Club, located in the heart of the Lakes Region, was an 1800’s operating farm, but now operates as a golf club and has everything you are looking for in a charming New England setting. The function facility is an elegant post and beam barn with a beautiful field stone fireplace, all of which is surrounded by beautiful mountain views and greenery.
The Almagra Barn is a perfect venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners and all types of special occasion celebrations. The full-service bar area is rustic, yet elegant, and is just right for your country wedding.
