John and Chippewa exceeded our expectations! Pictures do not do this venue justice. The beauty is absolutely breathtaking to the point where all of our guests are still talking about it over a month later. John and all of his employees made our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives. Everything ran perfectly and smoothly with absolutely no hiccups. We were able to have down time, relax and enjoy every moment. The food for our rehearsal dinner and brunch blew everyone away (and we are picky). I don’t know many newlyweds who can say this but there wasn’t a single problem that arose during our four day wedding weekend because of John and his staff. We will be coming back for a visit we loved it so much. Thank you John and everyone at Chippewa.

CRR was the experience of a lifetime. The peace of mind that was provided with the care and ease of the venue and staff was beyond compare. Everything went beautifully and the communication was key. Any questions or concerns we had were taken care of immediately. The location is stunning and the food was out of this world! We had a small, micro wedding of about 60 people and it couldn’t have been a better day or experience. We would highly recommend CRR, John and all the amazing people it took to create such a memorable step to our new future as newlyweds!

Our daughter’s reception on 10/21/23 was a great success at this beautiful facility!! It’s a beautiful outdoor setting with picturesque views by the lake and the warmth of the inside is Northwoods elegant! John McGraw and his team were great support throughout the process and very easy to work with. Thank you John for making our event a very special experience!

I cannot say enough great things about this venue. We had a late September wedding here & it was absolutely beautiful with the fall colors popping. What really made it amazing was John, the owner who made everything run seamless. He was there the whole day to help with anything needed & made sure it was the best day for us. I would recommend having your wedding here over & over. We cannot wait to be back for our anniversaries in the future!!

The Chippewa Retreat Resort was the perfect location for our wedding weekend! Everyone stayed at the resort and was able to be together all weekend, the outdoor space/on the lake is beautiful, and indoors is amazing as well. John works with every couple to make sure everything runs smoothly. Perfect location for a larger Northwoods wedding!

If you are looking for the perfect Northwoods Wisconsin wedding venue look no further than the Chippewa Retreat Resort. This is one of our favorite resorts for multiple reasons! First, the bridal and groom cottages to get ready in are the perfect amount of up north cabin and class. We love the different options this resort provides for their guests including places to stay right on site, which is perfect when guests don't want to travel and just continue to celebrate an amazing day. Second, we love the location site and reception area. Both of these places are absolutely stunning and always leave guests in awe when they come to the wedding! Finally, sunset photos along the lake never disappoint. Chippewa Retreat Resort is truly one of the best wedding venues in Wisconsin. Chippewa Retreat Resort Wedding Film: http://bit.ly/2QrUlld

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Chippewa Retreat Resort this June. The title of this post came from many of our guests declaring Chippewa Retreat Resort “a little slice of heaven.” Every expectation we had going into our wedding weekend was blown away by how fabulous the entire experience was. The staff at Chippewa Retreat redefined accommodating. The owner was present throughout the weekend and was clearly committed to making everyone’s experience a positive one. The resort staff was extremely friendly. They were always ready and willing to help with even the smallest detail. Franny, the events coordinator was a good as it gets. She made almost every request we had a reality. She helped brainstorm fun ideas, communicated regularly and promptly, always maintained a professional yet happy demeanor and was extremely fair through the entire process. The location of the resort cannot be beat. The cabins are beautifully decorated, comfortable and come with amazing views of the lake. The resort itself is centered around a beautiful pool, which served as a perfect meeting ground for all of our friends and family. The resort grounds are meticulously maintained with flowers everywhere. The day of the wedding was a truly a dream come true. Franny and the rest of the Chippewa Resort staff helped decorate the reception hall and ceremony area exactly the way I had imagined it. They provided all the necessary sound equipment for the ceremony, set up the chairs and helped make sure everything was set to go. Everything went off smoothly and I was able to take the entire day in and enjoy every moment knowing the staff had everything under control. The reception was held in the resort’s newly built restaurant. We didn’t have to do much decorating because the restaurant area is gorgeous as is. Our guests raved about the dinner, saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had, some said it was the best FOOD they had ever had. We stayed on Sunday and ate at the restaurant because we loved it so much. Putting all the pieces of the wedding puzzle together can be a lot of work, however I truly enjoyed the entire process working with Franny and the rest of the Chippewa Resort crew. They were dedicated to making our experience one we would cherish for a long time to come. I must agree with our guests, we found our slice of wedding heaven at Chippewa Retreat Resort.
