Meet the family

Pat and Debbie Lehner are the vision and muscle behind Down By The Pond. After their daughter and now son in law took on a 14 month project of turning their family property into the venue of their dreams, they decided to open a venue to give all couples the same experience. Debbie, who had the vision to start Down By The Pond, works primarily behind the scenes making sure the business runs like it should. Pat is the muscle behind all the beautiful, hand-crafted wood items you see and admire around the venue. 

Emily is the Venue Coordinator and first team member you'll make contact with at Down By The Pond. Always eager to answer questions for current or inquiring clients and keeping a tight schedule of all events! If you chose our in-house Day Of Coordination services, she will be there making sure everything goes as planned making your day as stress-free as possible.
