About weddings in Lazy Lake
Lazy Lake is thirteen acres, one loop road, roughly thirteen houses, and a flooded gravel quarry in the middle. It is one of the smallest incorporated municipalities in the United States, and it sits entirely inside Wilton Manors. There are no venues here. No hotel, no park, no church, no hall, no commercial anything. If you get married in Lazy Lake, it is because you or your family live on that one street. The setting is genuinely unusual: overgrown subtropical growth, ferns, mature oaks around a deep quarry lake. A venue equivalent costs about $11,240, food is $122 a head, and an open bar adds $53. Figure $46,000 for 120 guests, though 120 guests on that street is optimistic. Realistically, this is a small backyard wedding or nothing. Wilton Manors surrounds it and has real venues.
