Lake of the Forest Clubhouse

Lake of the Forest is a gated community centered around a historic 40-acre lake and clubhouse between Bonner Springs and Edwardsville, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from downtown Kansas City. The venue’s ballroom has hosted decades of celebrations and dances, with generations of resident families now choosing the property for second and third generation weddings. The property’s history stretches back to the 1800s, when a dam was originally built to harvest ice, and today it stands as a peaceful retreat with scenic lake views and manicured grounds.

The clubhouse offers a complete event setting with period character and comfortable amenities. Beyond the main ballroom, the 163-home community features a historic nine-hole golf course (added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014), walking trails, and the lake itself—making it an ideal backdrop for ceremony photos or a romantic setting for outdoor cocktail hours. Jennifer and the team coordinate timing and setup for rehearsal dinners, receptions, and intimate celebrations, with flexibility for both indoor and outdoor timing depending on your vision.
