A Beautiful Day in the Walnut Grove: Kelly and Johnathan’s Walnut Wedding
A Perfect Outdoor Wedding in the missouri ozarks
Some weddings feel effortless in the way they unfold — like the universe quietly aligns all the moving pieces into one beautiful, joy-filled day. Kelly and Johnathan’s Walnut Wedding at Lost Hill Lake was exactly that kind of celebration. Surrounded by towering trees, soft lake breezes, and the love of their closest people, their day was heartfelt, relaxed, and overflowing with genuine connection.
One of the most remarkable parts of Kelly and Johnathan’s wedding story is how seamlessly it all came together. They booked Lost Hill Lake and planned an intimate 60-guest celebration in just seven weeks, a timeline that would feel daunting to many couples.
By trusting our preferred vendor recommendations and choosing to add several on-site services through Lost Hill Lake, they were able to move through the planning process with confidence and ease. That trust allowed our team and their vendors to work in perfect sync, creating a day that felt thoughtful, personal, and completely stress-free… proof that even a short planning window can result in something truly beautiful when the right team is in place.

Their vows were a blend of personal promises, lighthearted laughter, and a few moments that left the entire crowd misty-eyed. Surrounded by the beauty of Lost Hill Lake, and the people who’ve shaped their journey, they sealed it all with a kiss that was met with cheers and clapping that echoed through the woods.
Is the Walnut Wedding Package Right for You?
It’s a great fit if:
You want a full Saturday wedding celebration with ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.
You envision nature-filled photos, lakeside panoramas, and broad open spaces instead of a traditional ballroom.
You’d like most of the logistics handled by the venue - from tables and seating to restrooms, shuttle logistics, even staff to help run the day.
You want a realistic, transparent budget with very few surprises.
If you’re looking instead for something more intimate, more all-inclusive, or on a different day of the week - Lost Hill Lake does offer a variety of packages (like Friday/Sunday options, elopements, and micro-weddings) that might be the perfect fit.
It was an honor to see your vision come alive, Kelly and Johnathan! Thanks for choosing Lost Hill Lake!
