The Best Wedding Venues in Lake Geneva, WI

7/12/2023

My name is Betsy Pearson. I am the owner and manager of Piece of Cake Consulting, LLC, a wedding and event planning company serving the Lake Geneva area.

With my extensive knowledge of local vendors and various price points, I guide my clients and make suggestions, but never dictate. I love fashion and style and enjoy helping with those meticulous touches that have a big impact.

While every wedding is unique and personalized, there are a few venues that work well for most couples and really stand out. Here’s a list of the best wedding venues in Lake Geneva, WI.

Hawk’s View Golf Course

Website: HawksViewGolfClub.com
Facebook: Facebook.com/HawksViewGolfClub
Instagram: Instagram.com/HawksViewGolfClub
Capacity: Up to 350
Pricing: Request pricing here.

Hawk’s View Golf Club offers two location options for wedding ceremonies. Choose from a beautiful covered patio for large ceremonies and receptions, or the clubhouse during the winter months or for smaller ceremonies and receptions.

Hawk’s View Golf Course also has The Redtail Ballroom on-site for receptions. This ballroom has an amazing rustic look and feel, but it can also be made to look very elegant with the vaulted ceilings.

This venue also offers smaller rooms that can be added to the main ballroom for an exceptionally large wedding. These smaller rooms are also great for the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner.

The gorgeous views of the well-maintained golf course, the 95-year-old rustic barn, and the covered bridges are among my favorite parts of this venue. Not only do they add beauty to the day, but make for great photo opportunities.

Amenities you’ll appreciate include:

60” round tables and chairs included
Dance floor is movable
Built-in cocktail bar
Row seating available for the ceremony
Canvas sides and heaters available for inclement weather
Beautiful holiday decorations (December through mid-January)

The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa has everything to offer from a place to stay, golfing, spa, and of course a place for your ceremony and reception. Get your nails, hair, and make-up done at the spa for the special day. Come here to make an entire weekend or even a week out of your perfect day!

There are 9 different venues that can be utilized for your ceremony and reception with one that can accommodate up to 800 guests. Each one offers its own unique beauty and amenities. You can also use one of two ceremony lawns with beautiful views of the lake and golf course. The Greenview can accommodate up to 150 guests while the Fairview can accommodate up to 400.

If you want a complete package and ease of being on-site for your special day, I can not think of a better venue than the Grand Geneva. With so much to do in the Lake Geneva area, you and your guests will have an unbelievable experience that no one will soon forget!

Maxwell Mansion

Capacity: 100
Pricing: Request pricing here

If you are looking for an experience that will take you and your guests back in time, consider the Maxwell Mansion.

Although this space is better equipped to handle smaller weddings, it is a stunning venue. The look and feel of the mansion make an intimate, romantic setting.

I recommend keeping the guest count lower as there is only room for 40 in the ballroom for a sit-down meal. Otherwise, there is plenty of space to venture around the gorgeous mansion and the stunning gardens.

Amenities you’ll appreciate include:

Breathtaking architecture and gardens
Full-service bar
Bring your own licensed caterer
One-of-a-kind venue

Lake Gevena Cruise Line

Capacity: 300 on Pier 290 and 225 on a cruise line

Are you a seafaring couple or just a couple that dreams of the idea of a wedding on a boat? This is an amazing option that allows you to be wed on one of their many available boats. This venue also offers Pier 290 available for larger ceremonies and receptions.

Get a private boat tour and photos taken on the lake before the ceremony or after!

I think this is such a fun and exciting experience for any couple looking to get married in the Lake Geneva area.

8 Boats to pick from
