Destination Geneva National

plan, thanks to Pam, our wedding coordinator. Everything we asked for was answered with, "Sure! We can do that!". Not every venue offers a wedding planner, but at Geneva National they are included in the package...Invaluable!!

cocktail hour, or reception - truly a dream! Not only is the space itself so beautiful, the staff is excellent. We worked with both Pam and Michelle for booking/planning and they couldn't have made it any easier on us. Whatever we asked for, they made it happen. They made both Jamison and myself feel so special and loved from the moment we arrived in Lake Geneva the Thursday before our wedding to Sunday morning when we went to pick up our remaining decor. Everything went incredibly smooth thanks to them! The Geneva National also has AMAZING food. Every single one of our guests mentioned how good their dinner was that night. They also placed a plate full of appetizers on our sweetheart table after the grand march because we were so swarmed during our cocktail hour, we didn't get a chance to eat. That was very appreciated! They had everything we needed in their bar selection, and even added on ginger beer at the last minute because it was in one of our signature drinks! Jamison and I could go on and on about how much we loved our wedding day; it was worth every penny! Overall, if we could go back and plan our wedding again, we would choose the Geneva National every single time! Thank you guys so much for all the love and hard work you did to help us have our BEST DAY EVER. <3

dding planning. The views were beautiful, our ceremony was at the Lakeview Terrace and our reception took place in the Geneva Room. The food was outstanding, and the staff were all very friendly and the service was exceptional. I wish the time wouldn't have went by so fast so we could have enjoyed it longer! Thank you to all the fantastic staff at Geneva National.

lian, our girl was simply amazing! She was understanding, helpful and made our planning easy. The moment we walked into the Lake Geneva room before we said We do... our vision was there, perfect, flawless and simply amazing! She got us! As a bride you want things perfect and I was so lucky to have the best wedding ever! Food was amazing, staff was attentive and friendly. My guests are still talking about how amazing our wedding was. Thank you Jillian and Michele for giving this bride the dream she has been dreaming since she was a little girl! I married my Prince Charming and you all made it happen! We are lucky and blessed to have you in our life! We love you!💕

etizers and main course Geneva National served was so good. The dance floor and balcony were a nice touch allowing guest to be outside and come back and dance. We had amazing photographers, Ideal Impressions who work with the Geneva national team. Everything was made so simple and was so elegant and beautiful I would recommend getting married at Geneva National 10/10!

went smoothly and checked in with us throughout the day. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in the same location made the day flow perfectly!

and Sunday morning brunch, every detail was above and beyond what we had planned, and it was all because of the Geneva National team, especially Michele. It was an easy decision to pick GN, from the gated entrance, beautiful building, ceremony sites with stunning backdrops, the grand ball room, delicious food, and exceptional team, there truly is no better venue. Thanks for making our day everything we hope for and more!

ting Michele is. They really do want you have the wedding day of your dreams! Pam ended up as our wedding coordinator and I truly cannot imagine our day without her help. From setting up our tasting to setting up our wedding inside last minute due to the rain, she was flawless. I can't count how many times I called her or emailed her about details and little questions and she was always willing to go the extra mile to make whatever vision I had come true. We also cannot say enough about how GREAT the food is! Our guests kept telling us that the steak was the best they ever had and that our cocktail hour snacks and late night snacks were divine. We wish we could have had our ceremony outside at the lake view terrace but unfortunately it poured right before our ceremony was suppose to start. Our inside ceremony ended up being the most intimate environment and still had the gorgeous lake view behind it. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and we cannot recommend Geneva National enough. Thank you all for everything you did for us!

room and cocktail hour was outside under the tent. We loved that the ballroom had an amazing wall of windows overlooking the lake and the tent allowed our guests to be outside and by the lake for part of it. Our wedding coordinator was Pam and she was amazing! She answered all of our questions through email so quickly we never even had to wonder. The day of worked out beautifully and all of the workers at Geneva National couldn’t have been nicer. I would definitely recommend Geneva National for your wedding venue!

the add ons, they treated us very poorly. My coordinator had me in tears the day before the dress rehersal because of how rude she was. They never served our cake, but never told us where the cake went after we inquired about it. They placed the coffee bar in front of our memorial table, and no one could see that. They gave us a space for just the bride and groom to go, and then the minute we went in there and I began to change, the whole serving crew walked in on us. My food came out uncooked, we did not get the appetizers we served. The wedding cordinator made me cry, I mean ball my eyes out, from being so rude, the day before my wedding. I would not recommend this venue for the horrible service they offered. They were rude, and very unfriendly, made me feel very insignificant. I read a post below that said the same thing, only made me feel a little validated, that it wasnt all in my head.

oordinator if you do go here and get EVERYTHING in writing. I believed every word that Michele would "work with me" but once that contract was signed it was clearly not the case. I originally loved the venue because they had a coordinator and seemed flexible. I chose a date with multiple rooms available in case I needed to rent a second room. However, the price skyrocketed for the second room after I had signed the contract for the first room even though we had a proposal for the two rooms for thousands less. The way the situation was handled was unethical and felt like I was being bullied. My husband wanted to get involved (who wouldn't have been as nice as me) but knowing this was where we would be having our wedding I choose to just make the best of a bad situation. Day of the weather was poor but our cocktail hour was not moved indoors or given the option like agreed upon. My brother was yelled at because an emotional support dog was inside with 6-year-old niece who was inside with all the children due to the cold weather. He made arrangements for the dog to go back to the hotel (which thankfully was not owned by the venue and understood the law). My DJ had canceled and I had a substitute DJ last minute. I was looking for the wedding coordinator to help with the bridal party announcements because it was a mess but I had to stand there with the DJ to tell him every name. Then he did not do the order that I had requested for the first dance so I did not have a father-daughter dance because my dad had not arrived back from the hotel (where he was resting ill). But the wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found. Half of my table cards were not put out and found later in a bag. At the end of the night, I found the top of our cake in a burger container wide open in the board room. I asked the staff if it could be put in the fridge or preserved in a safer way and they promised me they would. The next morning I found the cake in the same condition. I brought it back to the Lake Lawn Resort where the staff helped me properly store it to freeze. 12 of my centerpieces were missing the next morning. These were later found but discarded because I could not make it to WI in 30 days from the date they were found. Additionally, my custom wedding topper was never found that I had promised to a family member. And the clean up took HOURS. All the vases were moved to a room and filled with water. We had 6 people help us walk them to a sink and dump the water before boxing up. Meanwhile, no staff was anywhere to be found for a cart or anything to make packing up the day after the wedding a little less stressful. To top it off, our complimentary room is no longer available for our use because I did not get it in writing. This is something that came with the wedding package and we were told we could use within the year. Our hotel stay at Lake Lawn was absolutely perfect and they accommodated all of our needs. I truly wish we had planned the whole wedding there and it would have been cheaper. We had planned to take a yearly trip to LG to celebrate our anniversary at the Ridge or Geneva National. But I think our best memories were at Lake Lawn and will be enjoyed there for years to come instead of our venue.

ickly. The day of the wedding went so smoothly that we never had a worry. The only two issues we had were one of the two bars in the ballroom closed earlier in the night and the second is we were missing a few presents. However, it is partly our fault as we should have put them in our car before cocktail hour.

t to mention the buildings were very clean and comfortable. Most importantly, we can’t say enough about how memorable and special our wedding day was thanks to all the staff’s friendliness and flexibility. Katy Cook was our coordinator and she was super caring, flexible, and understanding of our needs. Thank you, thank you GNR for helping make our wedding so special and memorable!!

Pam was our coordinator and she was a wealth of knowledge that definitely was incredibly useful! She had to deal with my plethora of questions and always answered and some how answered in a way that made whatever I was stressing about go away and put a smile on my face. From the initial sit down with Michele to the day of and days after.. Geneva National is the way to go! Our wedding day was the greatest day of our lives and we are so thankful we chose Geneva National! Thank you ladies and your team for making our dream wedding come true! You all are incredible and one of a kind!!

seven course Vegan Dinner with appetizers and "mocktails". Very professional staff and quick to answer any questions we had.

onal staff truly made my dreams a reality. Pam and the staff at GN were absolutely incredible with all of my 1000’s of questions and wants – and everything was perfect. I could NOT have done it without Pam. I truly had the best day of my life and i owe it all to GN - I wish I could do it all over again!

pacious rooms, the food portions and options were only a few reasons why we chose GN! Our wedding coordinator Pam was simply the best! She was with us through the entire process. Pam made the journey stress free! She was so attentive and helped keep my husband and I on track leading up to the BIG DAY! Geneva National is the place to have your wedding!!

s would be a big problem--boy was I wrong! During our ceremony, a group of 20 or so golfers decided they would gather on the course right next to our ceremony site, blast Toby Keith music, and scream and yell in drunkenness. The venue did nothing. One of my wedding guests actually had to get up during the ceremony and run over to the men and ask them to turn down the music and be quieter for the next ten to fifteen minutes (they didn't). So, unfortunately for me, I was required to try and repeat my vows with Toby Keith and drunkness going on in the background. It got so awkward, I actually yelled out "Woo" during the vows after I said my part because their cheering was so loud. People thought that was funny, but I highly regret choosing this venue. For how expensive it is, they should absolutely have some boundaries that golfers need to follow for the THIRTY MINUTES of your ceremony. I'm trying to make my peace with the fact that this happened, but it is tough when you spend that much time and money planning your wedding. Other than that, Geneva National was great aside from a few hiccups (they had our place cards out of order at the table so couples weren't sitting next to each other). Food was great, though, Pam was very responsive and nice, but they need to either lower the cost of the venue or increase limitations of the golfers during outdoor ceremonies.

incredibly fun and super convenient. Their food is also ridiculously good, when we went to the tasting we were blown away by how good everything was. Our guests have even mentioned to us how impressed they were with the venue. Our wedding coordinator was Katy and she is a big part of why our wedding day was stress-free. She helped us with every detail leading up to the wedding. We emailed her so, so many questions and she answered every single one of them with really helpful information. We were given charts and planning worksheets throughout the process that clearly mapped out our cost and options. She communicated with our vendors and coordinated the cake, flowers, DJ, the rehearsal, everything. During the wedding weekend, the wedding party didn't do any work. The set up, take down, and clean up were all taken care of. They did a beautiful job setting up the rooms - when I saw how they had set up our dining room, I was stunned. The only word to describe what they did is magical. It was beyond anything I could have dreamt up, it was perfect. I can't recommend this venue enough. It's beautiful and convenient as a place to have your wedding, but the people that put it together and take care of you really make the difference. I feel like a stress-free wedding is pretty rare but that is exactly what they provided.

o plan our big day. Her attentiveness to detail and responsiveness to every single one of our questions made the planning process so easy. We received so many compliments on how smooth the day/night went. Thank you to the entire staff for making our wedding so beautiful!

and reception was decorated beyond my expectations. We used a florist and DJ off their preferred vendor list which I highly recommend doing. We also received many compliments on how we knocked it out of the park with our venue. We had the Lakeside room with the lounge and balcony which offered a spectacular vibe.

how flexible they are and how much they truly listened to me and exceeded my expectations. They took so much stress out of the wedding planning and the day itself. It's honestly the perfect venue. So for brides who compared a million venues like I did, here is why you should choose Geneva National: 1) Ceremony. There are 2 outdoor ceremony spots to choose from. And 2 beautiful backup space options available. Most places don't have nice backup options and I didn't want moving the ceremony inside to ruin my day. 2) Reception. I had it in the Grand Ballroom. It has huge windows facing the golf course and the lake. It's a beautiful room and can accommodate a lot of people. 3) The Inns. There are condos/ mini hotels right on property and they're very nice. I rented out 2 of them and put my wedding party in one and family in another. They were right next to each other too. It made getting ready for the big day soooo nice because there was a ton of space and people could easily go back to their room. 4) Flexibility. There are package deals, but they let you change just about anything and work with you to get you what you want. For example, my husband really wanted New Glarus beer, so they made it happen. 5) They truly want to make your dreams come true. So many venues have rules and just tell you how it is. At Geneva National, they listen to you and find a solution. For example, during the tasting everyone loved the steak. I didn't like the sauce, so the chef said he would make a wine sauce just for me on my wedding day. 6) Amazing Staff. Pam was my wedding coordinator, and she was absolutely fantastic. She always returned my emails and calls quickly. She was always so kind even when I asked a million questions. When she didn't know an answer, she would find out and get back to me. She even sat with me while I was hiding behind the tent before the ceremony started. I never even would have thought of her to do that, but it was so nice to have someone there to help calm you down since everyone else had to be on the ceremony site. Here's one more amazing thing! I booked a weekend where I was the only bride. I highly recommend this if you can. You don't need to decide on which ceremony site until pretty close to the wedding date and, even better, you don't have to pay to reserve your backup space!! Plus, I was allowed to use any room I wanted that day. So the Legends Room was not only my planned backup space, but I also used it for getting ready (after hair and makeup at the Inns). They have a beautiful room there with huge mirrors! We were able to leave our makeup, purses, shoes, etc. in there so that we didn't have to go all the way back to the inns. I do have one tiny complaint, and I'm only saying it so future brides know. We chose a basic bar package, and upgraded the vodka to Tito's. I came to find out they were serving guests the basic shelf vodka and when I questioned it, the bartended said guests have to ask for it. What?!?! How are guests supposed to know to ask for a higher quality liquor at an open bar? I was annoyed and angry about that, but overall I would say Geneva National was 99 out of 100. They deserve 5 stars no question.

u can see it through all of the windows. There are beautiful places to take photos and they let you borrow a golf cart to explore the property with your photographer. It was a perfect day!

urse the BIG DAY! If i could get married at the Geneva National every weekend, i would ! The food is unbelievable, and the personal touch these two ladies provided was so incredible ! From the beginning they made us feel like they were friends for years! I HIGHLY recommend this venue, and i LOVE katy and Michele !!!!! Absolutely tour this venue !!!!!!!

of our wedding to ensure that we had the absolute best start to our marriage. Katy made herself available via email and phone to answer many of my never-ending questions about details related to our wedding, and even called me a few days before the wedding to ensure that we had all of our plans in place, including where we were staying the night of our wedding. Our wedding day was extremely hot and Katy ensured that our parents and guests had cold water to drink and cool washcloths to place on their faces if needed during the ceremony. She also set out everything to make sure I didn't have to lift a finger for our big day--it was a bit odd to me to be sitting around during this time but was AMAZING because we were able to focus on all of the other important things. Katy is absolutely amazing and made our day flawless. We loved every minute of our time with her and will definitely be back to visit!

Inns were a perfect place for the wedding party to stay and where a BBQ for the rehearsal dinner was held. My daughter’s coordinator, Katy was awesome. She took care of all the details, answered all our questions and handled the minor changes we had the day before the wedding. From the rehearsal and through the entire wedding day, she was there organizing and coordinating every move. She made it so that the only thing we had to worry about on that day was having fun, enjoying every moment and making wonderful memories. We cannot thank her enough for all she did. Our guests raved about the venue and the food. The food from the hors d’oeuvres, to the main course, to the late-night snacks was cooked to perfection. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We highly recommend Geneva National for your special day. Thank you to everyone at Geneva National for helping to make our daughter’s dream wedding a reality.

about our wedding! I am so glad we decided to book this venue!!!!

elp us through the whole planning process at Geneva National and she was wonderful to work with! She made sure everything we wanted was done and she even made us aware of things we needed to think about/decide upon that we didn't even know we needed to. The whole staff took great care of us and our guests the day/night of our wedding. The food was spectacular and they were very accommodating as I have sister who is allergic to cinnamon and they made sure everything that was made was cinnamon free. My step father also has celiacs and I wanted to make sure his could be prepared gluten free the chef came out to talk with us at our tasting. When he asked if it was an allergy and I specified that it was celiacs he said he treats them completely separate and that my step fathers meal would be prepared on its own in a clean kitchen so it could not be contaminated in anyway! I was shocked and amazed at the details they put into requests like that for one specific person! I cannot thank Katy and the rest of the staff enough for making the day absolutely perfect!

d of, and the individuals that work primarily with weddings and events continuously strived to exceed our expectations without ever pressuring us into something we didn’t want or take away from how we envisioned our big day. If you aren’t familiar with Lake Geneva, there is no shortage of popular wedding venues and vendors that can put together great weddings and promise great service. However, I believe it is the incredible hospitality and execution skills in their events and wedding staff that allows Geneva National to stand out above the rest. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Geneva National’s Events Director Michelle Grasser and Events Coordinator Katy Cook and boy did these ladies deliver. My husband and I attended a whopping 13 weddings in 2017, so we certainly had plenty advice and recommendations on how to plan and prepare for a large wedding, but we certainly could not have done everything on their own (nor did we ever want to), and our coordinator Katy Cook offered us incredible support for our plans. It is because of her expertise, experience, patience, and ability to assess and anticipate our needs, my husband and I were able to actually experience our wedding day. It’s an incredible feeling watching months of careful planning come to life and these ladies made it possible for us to sit back and enjoy this momentous occasion in our lives. And the best part? We had a blast and so did 206 of our closest family and friends!

. We couldn't agree more, everything was literally perfect. If you want a venue that the guests actually enjoy being at and eat REALLY good food, this is the place for you. Our wedding coordinator Katy could not have been easier to work with and she made sure how day went smoothly.

lf. THANK YOU

mmon family room, kitchen, game room, outside patio, and 6 bedrooms, perfect for the wedding party and close family members. We stayed here and had a blast Thursday and Friday night. Other guests stayed at The Ridge, part of Geneva National, across Lake Como. We had planned an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake and the golf course, but the weather didn't cooperate. Pam, our wedding coordinator, part of the package, had several backup options. Pam was fantastic! She took care of setting up the ceremony inside, which had a beautiful view overlooking the lake, and actually created a more intimate setting. From the time we arrived, Pam's answer to every question was "I'll take care of it". We dropped off the ceremony brochures, menu, table cards, decorations for the gift table, memory table, etc. on Friday and Pam took care of setting everything up along with coordinating with our florist, photographer, and DJ. It made for a stress-free weekend. The food was so delicious and service and staff were fantastic. We would highly recommend Geneva National for the best wedding ever!

with the florist and cake maker for drop offs and pick ups. All I had to do was enjoy the evening as the mother of the bride.

beauty (venue, grounds, golf courses) as well as the staff, especially Michele Grasser, our event coordinator! The moment we stepped into the clubhouse for our initial appointment we felt important and were treated above and beyond with grace! Throughout planning, Michele was constantly available to answer any questions or resolve any concerns. I felt very relaxed and stress-free the week before our wedding as we did not have to worry about a thing! Luckily, we had BEAUTIFUL weather for our wedding and were able to have our ceremony right outside at the Lakeview Terrace followed by cocktail hour/reception within the grand ballroom. From the views (ceremony/reception), service, food, and overall experience, I highly recommend Geneva National for any form of event! I did not think that our dream wedding could be possible, but Geneva National exceeded our expectations to make our dream a reality!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Geneva National and Michele Grasser!!!

experience working with many local vendors and helped us select reputable vendors, which we appreciated. We chose to have our wedding in the Legends Room, which has a gorgeous wrap-around view of Lake Como and the golf courses. The space was large enough for our 150 wedding guests, and we had room for a large dance floor, two bar stands, and a photobooth. The resort allowed us to use golf carts to navigate the grounds for wedding portraits - my feet were thankful! The food was delicious, and we were able to customize our menu due to our guests' dietary concerns (nut allergies, gluten intolerance, fish and seafood allergies, etc.). I only wish that they had offered coffee to all the guests after dinner - only a few guests knew to ask for it. It was easy to set up payments with the billing department, and they emailed us before charging our credit card on due dates. All interactions with staff members were positive, both before the wedding and on our wedding day. The bridal suite (within the Legends building) is gorgeous in our "getting-ready" photos. The resort staff waited until ALL guests left before tearing down the tables and decor, which was very nice! One note to couples who would like to get married on site: there is a ceremony venue right next to the building, which is very convenient! We chose to marry in a church and only have the cocktail hour and reception at Geneva National. Thanks so much for a wonderful day!

worked with Michele and Katy throughout the year leading up to our big day, and really enjoyed teaming up with them. They were upbeat, fun, organized, and helpful! Our guests commented on how beautiful the scenery was and how delicious the food tasted. Geneva National was everything we dreamed of for our wedding day!

l experience so great was our coordinator, Pam. From planning our rentals, to her quick responses to all of my questions she really made the planning process stress free! We also had a more casual wedding with a lot of appetizers and no sit-down dinner and she was so flexible with changes to the food that we wanted. Everything I asked for, she made happen! I would highly recommend for a wedding venue!

onsive and setup our room and decorations perfectly to our vision. The Lake Geneva Room boasts stunning views of Lake Como and the golf course in addition to being a beautiful, warm and cozy space. The Inns, which are conveniently adjacent to the reception rooms, are spacious, inviting, and also have amazing lake views. We stayed at the Inns with our bridal party and even hosted our Welcome Party there since the space was so large and beautiful. This venue has delicious food, a stunning backdrop, and all the best amenities for a great price. I highly recommend Geneva National to anyone looking to have a wedding in Lake Geneva!

and the staff was great! Win!

irst meeting. Then on the day of our wedding she used our decorations and those that they already had to make the event space beautiful. I feel I need to mention that there was an awful snowstorm the day of our wedding and she took table/guest substitutions up until a few hours before the dinner started. She also allowed our photographer to use the Legends Room (the only space we had not rented) to take our first look photos because it was too cold out. She was so patient and wonderful to work with. Our wedding was just over 2 weeks ago and we are still receiving messages from friends and family raving about the food, the space, the cocktails :) So many people shared that it was the best wedding they've ever been to! I just can't say enough about how much we loved Geneva National and working with Michele!

ng. They served us the WRONG food. What is the point of having a tasting when what you chose wasn't served at your wedding? When I inquired about this after the wedding because both my own mother and my mother in law noticed that the entrees were not what was discussed, they said that it was correct even though it clearly was not. They then tried comparing the dishes saying that even though they were different dishes, the protein was still the same - again, not taking any responsibility for their wrongdoing and degrading the fact that it was wrong. They have yet to actually apologize for the blatant mistake. The only compensation I received was a drop in the bucket in comparison to what I paid for. They didn't even have enough salads on the day of the wedding even though I paid for everyone to have a salad. They went around to the tables and asked if who wanted a salad so they could get away with not serving it. They also threw away the items from the wedding cake that were supposed to be saved even though it is standard procedure to save the cake plates/dowels for the bakery. The "coordinator" that they give you isn't very reliable. I would suggest hiring your own as theirs can change the story to benefit them at a moment's notice. Just make sure your food choice is super clear because they will change it to whatever suits them! Good luck if you choose them.... you'll need it!!

he entire planning process fun and memorable! Everything ran so smooth! There wasn't a single hiccup in the day. :) We can't thank Geneva National enough for helping make our wedding the perfect day.

pleased and so was I !

always just a phone call or email away to answer any questions or help ease my concerns. I couldn't have asked for a better place or better wedding coordinator for our special day.

o plan! Jenna is outstanding to work with and I would absolutely recommend to anyone!

ts of tradition. And most importantly, we wanted it to be the best party of our lives. Geneva National completely exceeded our expectations. We knew from our first meeting with their on-site coordinator, Jenna, that we would be in good hands. We decided to try for an outdoor ceremony (they had several back up options in case of bad weather but we lucked out with a great sunny day!), followed by our reception in the Lake Geneva Lounge. The space was perfect! We loved that the room is so gorgeous on it's own that we didn't have to do much in terms of decor, the connected outdoor patio space our guests could use if they wanted fresh air, the GORGEOUS view that overlooked the lake, and the fact that the space doesn't feel too big or cause the party to be too spread out. We also loved that we got so much for our money as opposed to other venues where you have to bring in your own tables, catering, etc. They do everything in house and the prices are spelled out for you so there were never any surprises. Plus, they were always willing to accommodate any special requests we had! Our guests raved about how flawlessly the entire event went, and how well they were treated by the staff members. Our coordinator Jenna was the BEST ever! She must have received hundreds of emails and phone calls from us over the course of our year of planning, and she always got back to us right away and was so sweet! I felt so dumb calling her sometimes, asking about the littlest thing, and she never once made me feel as though I was annoying or bothering her. She was so patient and nice, and I can't imagine having to go through this process with anyone else! I wish I could have my wedding there all over again I loved everything about it so much!

o many options for the food, it was very hard to decide what to serve our guests. People still tell us how good the food was at our wedding. Our coordinator took care of everything! She made sure everything happened on schedule, people were where they needed to be, and the night went off without a hitch! I would recommend Geneva National Golf Club to every bride and groom! Carly Griffis

ional for a wedding.

a National.

m the get go and quick to answer any questions. I was very impressed by the execution of the ceremony, the food, and Stacey's ability to effortlessly accommodate all the guests! She's the real thing, and the wedding wouldn't have been the same without her :) Thanks!!

ns were answered and took care of everything on the big day so I had not one thing to worry about. I highly recommend Geneva National as a wedding venue.

d'oeuvres and cocktail reception. We can't thank the staff enough for everthing that they did for us.

is not the case with other vendors. We had no issues! Food was as good as it was on the day of our tasting. We had a pasta station with our appetizers. It was a huge hit with our guests at the party. It was a wonderful reception.

a complaint. We had a good size wedding, about 240 people. We got married, had our cocktail hour and had our reception at Geneva National. Our wedding planner Heather worked with us to help make our vision come true. We had a few problems in the beginning of the year with the switching of our wedding planner several times, but once that was resolved everything else was perfect. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

d there and someone else took over our file. Everything turned out well in the end, but it was un-nerving to have that happen. And, there were little things that we would have liked to of been reminded about, like when our balance was due, and our head count. It came more like, your head count was due last week and I need your balance today. So heads up would have been great. But they set up, cleaned up and put all of our belongings into a room and we collected them the next day. It worked out beautifully.

for different sizes of weddings up to around 300 (ours was large so we were in the ballroom). Jenna was our coordinator and she was wonderful - very organized, friendly, had good ideas and was knowledgable. You knew she was there to help make your wedding perfect for you (not get the most money she could out of you). Our wedding day itself was well organized and flowed smoothly. The food was good, have a good number of options. They have packages including food, wine, bar, etc - but are flexible about substituting things and making changes (ex. we added an extra hour of open bar instead of having a champaign toast and glass of wine for every guest). The also have a shuttle and options for lodging close by, which was important for us. We had a brunch there on Sunday as well. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the Hunt Club, a restaurant affilated with Geneva National and on the same grounds - Jenna was able to coordinate this for us as well. The cost can get high if you have a large wedding (like we did - ours was just over 20,000), but doesn't have to be. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend it for others!

mony and used the Bar/Lounge and mini-ballroom area for my wedding. It worked out so well and the outdoor veranda was a hit! I will absolutely be using this venue for future events. AMAZING!!

o go downtown through Lake Geneva on a Saturday late afternoon which made the entire event late. Not anyone's fault really just an oversight. Also- we went into specific detail about food allergies and I am not sure where it happened but there was one dish that was not prepared according to the contract. Also, half of our guests didn't show but somehow we ran out of food. I didn't get to taste everything at the reception; however the food that I did taste was delicious and everyone complimented us on that as well. They have wedding/event planners and I would have literally have died that day of stress if it wasn't for her and she was my calming saint. I found it odd that the ceremony on the grass was more to rent than the rooms for the reception but the package we used was exquisite and priced right. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. The ambiance alone was worth it.

ful setting, the service the wedding planners provided was unprofessional and disappointing. In the 9 months we spent working with them, 3 wedding 3 different planners chose to find employment elsewhere. We weren't informed of our change in planners by the company, but heard it thru community gossip. Needless to say we had to go in and run thru our plans 4 different times. The day of the wedding many of the things we had discussed in our planning weren't done as planned or missing entirely. Our wedding planner went missing during the ceremony, causing a little chaos afterwards. I only saw her twice the entire night (while she was flirting with our guests) and then she informed at 8:00 that she was leaving for the night. We didn't get there until 530)

e perfect place to get married!

rking with anyone at the venue. My guests were delighted with how wonderful the reception was. I can't say enough good things about Geneva National!

as just one charge per plate, which included everything. There were no after the wedding bills! :)

everything she could to make sure it all went off without a hitch. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful reception!

ons. Elegant, sophisticated ambiance. Food was phenomenal. We didn't have a traditional sit-down dinner. It was their Couture Package (butler-passed hors d'oeuvres) supplemented with several stations. Everything was displayed beautifully and tasted fantastic. We even worked with the chef a little bit. He was very willing to make one of our family's favorite recipes. The staff works with you from beginning to end to ensure that your vision for you perfect wedding comes to life. Prompt responses via email and phone. And the views! Each ballroom/dining room overlooks Lake Como with spectacular views of the lake and trees through large picture windows. Regardless of the season, its truly lovely. Prices were reasonable as well. We live in Illinois but opted for a semi-destination wedding in Lake Geneva, WI. After a lot of price shopping, Geneva National's prices were not only comparable, but they offered so much more for the cost than many Illinois venues. We were surprised at how much actually came with the different packages. Geneva National also works with a nearby hotel that offers a shuttle service so our guests were able to enjoy themselves without worrying about drinking and driving. Been married for a month and have already recommended them to a newly engaged co-worker.

d was delightful. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better day or venue!

d back and scenic location. Geveva National was perfect. The team went out of their way to create a hearty menu (twin bone pork chops... yum!), perfect room layout with attentive service all while paying attention to every detail. Thanks to GN, we had a lovely, memorable wedding that didn't break the bank. Highly recommended! PS... order Chiavari Chairs - it makes such a huge difference!!!
