Gordon Lodge

d they were able to pivot to get us inside without missing a beat. The dinner set up was beautiful and the food was delicious.

spacious and one of a kind. Highly recommend!

r us. We stayed in a Gordon Lodge cabin on the lake for our honeymoon and it was hands down the best hotel experience we have ever had. The staff was so helpful and considerate I was honestly kind of shocked the whole time we were there. It's amazing!

he service and atmosphere. The food was so good. Our guests loved it. I tell everybody about it. You will not regret having your wedding here.

offered a preferred venue list which was fantastic, they had taste testing for the wedding meal, and to the very end of the reception they had someone attending our every need. We could not be more pleased and satisfied. If you are planning a wedding with a beautiful outdoor setting, we highly recommend Gordon Lodge.

erything we needed: catering, reception and ceremony site, lodging, and helpful staff. Since both sides were traveling for the wedding, family and friends had a variety of room styles they can book to spend the wedding weekend, as well as amenities our guests took full advantage of (kayaking, heated pool, hiking trails, etc.). The outdoor ceremony was exactly what we wanted and the staff was extremely thoughtful and prepared to assist with the planning and execution of our big day. We are already talking about coming back to Gordon Lodge to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! A special shout out to Gordon Lodge's Brittany and Amy who helped us navigate the entire wedding planning process. We couldn't have had our perfect day without them.

She helped answer all of our questions, helped us pick out our details, and helped coordinate the wedding and timeline. Having her help us was one of the best aspects of holding our wedding at Gordon Lodge. We would highly recommend this venue for any future bride looking to hold their wedding in Door County.

ful. The staff really works to keep the lodge looking great. We had such an amazing experience and can't wait to visit again in the future!

re blown away by the venue. The beautiful setting and friendly staff made this an unforgettable weekend for our friends and family. Thanks, Gordon Lodge!

eforehand was a breeze. Just can’t say enough and wish we could do it again.

hen responding to emails and calls. All of the serving staff were fantastic. Kind, quick and so nice to our guests. Food was great. Our friends and family still talk about how the food and how amazing the cupcakes were! We seriously can't say enough good things about Gordon Lodge and their whole team! Amazing!

Days before, they helped coordinate important details - like the rehearsal, collecting decorations, etc. On the day of, everything ran incredibly smoothly, which truly allowed us to just enjoy our day. Everything was decorated according to our notes and set up on time. We even had a couple of meal mixups on our part during the rehearsal and wedding, which they graciously helped us sort out. The property is absolutely beautiful - all of our guests raved about it! A lot of people are concerned about having to go with the onsite caterer at venues, but the food was delicious and I appreciated not having to coordinate several vendors. I always thought that I would do a traditional wedding cake, but we did the cupcakes and I have no regrets.

before the ceremony to let us know that it had been raining continuously and our venue (The Boathouse) was taking on water. They had engineers there trying to figure out a way to decrease the water level in the venue but were unsure if the water would be gone before our big day. Brittany had a backup plan before she called us and was able to move us into the restaurant portion of the building. I was extremely thankful that Brittany had taken our seating arrangements and sent different table layout ideas right after finding out that we had to move upstairs (to Top Deck). Top Deck ended up being even more amazing than having it in the Boathouse! When it came to photos, the lodge staff was more than accommodating and drove us, our wedding party, & our photographers all over their grounds to make sure we got the best scenery possible for our photos. It was great to have the majority of people stay on campus that night, it was a relief not having to worry about guests drinking too much and then having to drive to another location. The food was amazing as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend this venue!

ether without any surprises. We heard nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests, many of whom stayed right at the Lodge for the weekend festivities. Some said it was the best wedding and setting they had ever been to! The Lodge is on a huge parcel of land ...so private and idyllic; and the grounds are beautiful and well taken care of . Having the lake and bay right there made for a perfect photo backdrop, too. The saying that "you get what you pay for" certainly supports our decision to have our daughter's wedding in scenic Door County at the sublime Gordon Lodge.

ing in September of 2017. We did a short walk through with Cayla (one of their wedding coordinators) and after seeing 3 other places... we knew the boat house was perfect for our intimate wedding. Cayla was seriously the sweetest and so accommodating! She got us booked, and was constantly emailing me with updates, answering all my questions and took time in May for me to visit again with my sister. Shortly after my visit though, Cayla messaged me explaining that she was leaving the lodge and that Amy would be taking over. She told me that Amy would be given all the information and that we were in great hands. I was upset, but I had also read great reviews about Amy online.. After Amy took over, I hardly got any emails.. and I found myself having to email with lots of questions... I never really felt updated.. and even just 2 days before the wedding... I felt like I had no idea what was going on. I was told that my sister and I would be setting up the boat house with our decorations.. then Wednesday I was told that Amy would do it all.. On the Wednesday before my wedding, I was told I couldn't have my rehearsal at 6pm Friday, even though that time had been agreed upon months before and was in writing... I wasn't given a new time for rehearsal until Thursday when I finally met with Amy. Upon meeting Amy, she never introduced herself or shook anyone's hands... she was all business, very impersonal. I assumed the rehearsal was going to be the only problem we ran in to... but then there were several other mess ups. The chairs at the wedding ceremony were suppose to be set up in an orchestra pattern (they were set up straight and not in a rounded pattern) , my cake topper was never put on my cake (it was never left out for the decorator), the beers that were picked specifically for the wedding.. weren't in the bar, my guests weren't told that we had the rail package for free (so they were charged during the free 3 hour open bar), I was told that golf carts were going to be used during the wedding to take me, my wedding party, and guests for photos, the ceremony, etc. (instead my sister had to go get her car to take us for photos, also the guests that happened to be picked up in the golf carts..were taken to the other wedding...so several people missed my ceremony), they never set up a sweetheart table for us (even though we had requested that months back...), when waiting for the ceremony, Amy never came to get us.. when my sister went to get Amy.. she was seen helping the other bride in the hallway (even though her wedding ceremony had been done over an hour before... and mine was suppose to start in 5 minutes), then when asked when the ceremony would start.. she rudely told my sister that we had a paper saying when it would start.., and to top it off, there was a drunk man (from the other wedding) that walked behind the bar and stole wine from the bar, then came back several times (security never picked him up..even though we complained 3 times)...then he walked out on the dock.. we thought he was going to drown. The waitress kept talking to the drunk man like she knew him... and then when security finally came..he didn't believe us when we pointed out the man... While I think Amy is probably a great coordinator, I feel like my husband and I were given the short end of the stick when Cayla quit. Clearly the other wedding took president that day.. and we weren't given the full service we were promised.. In all, the lodge was beautiful, but at the same time, we put a great amount of time and money into the wedding... and I feel like we should be compensated for the lack of service. I recently emailed the lodge to complain..but haven't received any response. I'm very disappointed. Rachelle

t wedding ever.

le) in September 2017. We wanted a nice place where the whole family could enjoy a leisurely vacation together without breaking the bank, but still feeling upscale. The environment there is so peaceful and there’s lots for families to do on the grounds. The actual wedding itself was perfect and we couldn’t be more grateful to the Gordon Lodge staff for everything they did! Cayla was an absolute pleasure to work with and we can’t imagine our day without her. We live in Atlanta and the thought of planning our wedding from so far away was intimidating, but Cayla made it so easy. She’s a true professional and quickly came back with great recommendations any time we had an issue or question. On the day of the wedding, Cayla and Amy were rockstars at getting everyone where they needed to be and getting the vendors to do what they needed to. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to rattle either one of these ladies and they can effortlessly handle any hiccups that arise. Our rehearsal dinner (fish fry) was held in the porch of the Event Center, our ceremony was overlooking the water, and the reception was held in the lower level of the boathouse. The food and drinks were fantastic and people still talk about them. The boathouse was such a beautiful, rustic space that didn’t require any decorations beyond some simple flowers on the table. Everything was perfect and we wouldn’t change a single thing. And our whole family can’t wait to come back here to vacation – we’re so so happy we found Gordon Lodge!

it could have been. I can't say enough kind things about Amy the event manager she was the best and easiest person I have ever had to work with. She listened and made my wedding the most perfect day and all I could have ever dreamed of. It was a chilly day but I was dead set on having my wedding outside just as long as it wasn't raining, they made it all happen. Amy was also so amazing for calming my nerves, making sure that everyone in our wedding party was happy and taken care of. The location is prime and beautiful with the fall colors I couldn't have asked for better. I also want to suggest we rented the 5 bedroom house they have on the grounds for our wedding party and that was the best idea ever. It was so beautiful, well taken care of and plenty of space for us to all enjoy each other. It was the perfect place to get ready and have our pictures taken before our ceremony. There is not a space on the grounds that you would not be able to find a wonderful backdrop for pictures. They do an amazing job with landscape and upkeep of the whole place. I have nothing bad to say about this place it will always hold a special place in our hearts as well as Amy. I have and will now have a long lasting relationship with her. Thanks for making our dreams come true the best we could in our situation. We truly appreciate it! Love, The Eckes Famly

g for a new job. Cayla is a great communicator and responded to our emails very quickly. If she didn't know the answer to something right away, she would find out the information promptly from someone else. Everything was straight-forward from the very beginning and we didn't have to deal with any unexpected surprises throughout the planning process or on the day of our wedding. Cayla also helped keep us on track with decision-making along the way so that we weren't scrambling for last minute solutions. At the same time, she remained very flexible and had backup plans available if the weather did not cooperate for our outdoor events. The professionalism of the entire staff, their organization and efficiency, and their friendliness is something to be commended. Gordon Lodge really made the entire planning process and our wedding day stress-free!

one truth worthy!) I wasn't crazy on decorations, but more so on the smoothness and flow of this day. I wanted the guests to feel comfortable and welcomed- which they were. Even our higher maintenance guests were astounded with the sites and our friends are now all worried how they can compete with the location :) GO GORDON LODGE!

grounds were immaculate and every one of our guests were blown away by the presentation of the venue. The venue can only do so much and what separates Gordon Lodge in our opinion was the opportunity to work with Amy Gorham. Not a single thing was missed and she took care of us and our guests the entire night. Our wedding was a smashing success and we owe a lot of that to Amy and her staff.

The staff made us feel extremely comfortable during our planning and on the big day. They made us feel like they have everything under control while at the same time making US feel like our day was as important to them as it was to us.....not like just another wedding. The lodges, boat house, reception area and ceremony area are unbelievable. Highly recommended checking out Gordon Lodge.

y and helpful. Our bartender in the boathouse was enjoyable to be around. The outdoor scenery and flowers were spectacular. There is a beautiful point that outlooks the water where we were married. The boathouse is really nice for a small wedding as it can house about 50 people. All the food was great and prepared well. We are planning to go back for our anniversary. We would recommend Gordon Lodge to anyone looking to get married outside by the water, and we would also recommend it as a great place to stay for a vacation.

rk with throughout the wedding planning process.

l considering we are not from the DC area. Amy was a saint- she was timely, responsive and thorough on everything. We are fortunate to have her help orchestrate our day. Gordon Lodge also accommodated all of our out of town guest and provided a memorable experience for all. Thank you GL!

r visiting. We feel so lucky to have been married at such an amazing place. Our wedding day far exceeded our expectations! Our event coordinator, Cayla, is an absolute dream to work with. She's responsive, professional, flexible and most importantly, kind. Planning the wedding and solidifying important details from Chicago would have been so much more difficult without her constant support. We had a smaller wedding - approximately 60 guests. Most guests stayed on site in the lodge, cabins and the 5-bedroom house. Our guests raved about Gordon Lodge's attentive customer service, welcoming accommodations, well-kept grounds and delicious breakfast buffet. The complementary kayaks and bikes were a hit...so many guests used them! Over 2 months later and we're still getting compliments on how wonderful, memorable and unique our wedding day was. – all thanks to Gordon Lodge. One for the books that’s for sure. We’d get married again and choose Gordon Lodge a thousand times over if we could. An absolute gem that is SO Door County.

Everything went perfectly as planned.

in the planning process. All of the recommended vendors we used were outstanding. The property, staff and food at Gordon Lodge is top notch. The location for our ceremony on North Bay was absolutely perfect. Amy, the event coordinator, was easy to work with and very attentive throughout our weekend. Alea, who helped organize lodging for our guests, was very accommodating to our requests. Shad, one of the bartenders at Top Deck, is very personable and gave our guests a great late night spot to hang out. Along with serving absolutely delicious food, Tony and the food & beverage staff (especially Sandy) gave our guests a great experience all weekend. Very few of our guests had ever visited Door County, but after their experience at Gordon Lodge, numerous are already making travel plans for next year! Thank you for making our wedding weekend unforgettable!

. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about it. I would highly recommend Gordon Lodge!

ry nervous person, but during my wedding weekend all the nerves dissapeared... it was almost impossible to be nervous or stressed when you wake up every morning to the sounds of the nature, and a beautiful view of the bay. The only issue that we came across was that my guests had a difficult time reserving rooms during the off season. This was a destination wedding so all of our guests were coming from out of state. I had many people tell me that they had left several messages to reserve a room, and they never received a call back.. despite that, the day/weekend was perfect!

our wedding. Cayla was amazing at helping me ever step of the way. She gave me a list suggested vendor for flowers, hair, rehearsal dinners, ect all of which helped make my day perfect. But all of her help pails in comparison to how beautiful the Gordon lodges' property is. When we pulled into the Gordon Lodge I was thrilled with the beautiful foliage, it got even better as we walked around the grounds to see all they had to offer, bikes for the family to ride, hiking trails, kayaks to enjoy the bay. Then Cayla took us over to the area we were going to exchange our vows, I melted. I knew at that moment without a doubt I picked the perfect venue! The day itself was perfect! The staff at the Gordon Lodge is well like well oiled machine. The day went smoothly even when we hit a minor bump due to unexpected weather. "All hands were on deck" and the staff went above and beyond to make our day the dream day we imagined. I was super impressed that Cayla was there to help the whole day from breakfast at 9 am until we left the boat house at 11:30 pm. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Our day was perfect from start to finish!

r with signature drinks & waiter served hors d'oeuvres, and finally to our reception in the event center, everything was amazing and just how we wanted our special day to be :) We can't say enough about the amazing staff and well kept grounds at Gordon Lodge. The flowers and sunsets over the water were beautiful! Amy Gorham and her staff do an amazzzzinnng job with both food and cocktails! We continue to get compliments from all of our guests. We hope you find your day as special as ours was at Gordon Lodge :)

nd rehearsal dinner dairy free! They made all of the desserts from scratch and I still hear my friends and family rave about the cherry cobbler. I cannot say enough about our experience at GL. I would absolutely 200% recommend this as a wedding (or any event) venue. It was an absolute dream come true!

ny and all questions I had, was always accommodating to communicate and plan via e-mail or in person, and went above and beyond with little details to make sure our day was perfect (even having "guac-free taco cups" during our cocktail hour JUST for the mother-of-the-bride due to an allergy!) It was the little details like this that made our wedding unforgettable. The grounds are beautiful and we are in love with all of the amazing pictures that were taken on our wedding day- a truly unique and spectacular back drop! Our friends and family can't stop talking about how amazing our wedding was!

nating everything from linens to the delicious food and drink that was served that evening. Our second son is getting married in October of 2018 and has selected Gordon Lodge for their ceremony and reception. We have begun working with Amy and look forward to another outstanding experience!

ed so many compliments from guests on the natural beauty of the property, with the lake and landscaping. Our coordinator, Cayla, was a marvelous help to us throughout the entire process. She was so detail-oriented, friendly, and helpful and made the planning and day-of processes a breeze! She was an amazing support and helped with tasks I did not even expect her to help with. The whole day went so smoothly and I felt confident that Cayla and the Gordon Lodge staff would take care of any issues that could have come up. The food was excellent as well. We had several guests comment that it was the best meal they had had in a long time. The room we stayed in had a spectacular view of the water and was so serene. There were lots of fun activities to do the days after the wedding too. We had a ton of fun kayaking with our friends and family that weekend. I would highly recommend Gordon Lodge to anyone looking to get married in Door County! Our wedding weekend was the best weekend we have ever had!

lve Gordon. The pricing was great and they worked with us on everything, from accommodating the number of appetizers for our guests, to finalizing the wine/bar tab. We were even treated to a rousing music show from part of the Wisconsin Badger marching band, compliments of the other wedding taking place. It was a highlight of our reception. My son and his bride were married outside on the point and the reception was held in the boathouse. Everyone loved it! It was a small wedding, but perfectly done by Gordon Lodge. The food was wonderful, and Cayla was always there for questions and to keep everything on track. The only "issue" we had, and it's a small one, was that we booked the venue only 6 months out from the wedding date. By that time, all of the rooms and cabins were booked by vacationers and we did not have a room for our bride to get ready. It did not end up being a problem, as they spa in Egg Harbor that handled her hair and makeup had plenty of room for her to get ready with her bridesmaids. If a wedding in Door County is on your future, you cannot find a more charming, beautiful venue than on the lake at Gordon Lodge. And the icing on the cake is the event staff that handle all of your details ... excellent!

the line wedding consultants. They advised, organized, and supported us throughout the entire process. They are experts. I can honestly say, Gordon Lodge and Amy and her team, made my wedding dreams come true.

sly kept grounds, delicious food, and exceptional staff, nothing was overlooked. My guests were and still are raving about of wedding and we just feel so blessed to have been able to celebrate with friends and family at Gordon Lodge.

ior to my tour (before anyone knew I was a prospective wedding client) and made my judgments about the staff and the quality of food and beverage (something very important to me). Gordon Lodge has THE most professional, friendly, helpful, and genuine staff of any that I visited BY FAR. And their food is incredible! This level of quality and service persisted through all my planning, visits throughout the year, and even after my wedding. I could tell that they truly wanted our wedding day (ahem – week) to be a success and they took great pride in their jobs. If you’ve seen any photos, you know the place is just gorgeous. At any time of year, you feel as if you’ve been transported to a magical fairyland. This characteristic of the property has the added benefits of 1) convincing all your family and friends from thousands of miles away that it’s SO worth coming to your wedding and 2) Making your vendors oh-so excited that they get to work at this location! I think our photographers and videographers were almost more excited than I was: the photographers came the night before and took shots off the clock and the videographer came early because he was so excited to take extra drone footage of the property. The property has accommodations for everyone: We initially anticipated ~120 guests, but when it grew to over 190, we were SO glad that we were at Gordon Lodge, which fit our group perfected and had room to spare. We LOVED that nearly all our guests stayed at Gordon Lodge because nobody ever needed to worry about driving, getting lost, or shuttle pick up times. Our guests arrived Friday evening and we got to enjoy having the whole group gathered in one spot for both nights, not to mention breakfasts (amazing buffet included in the stay) in the mornings. The event coordinator, AMY, is pretty much superwoman. I did not hire a wedding planner, but with Amy always there to answer my questions throughout the year, I did not need one. This woman has her stuff together! She is an absolute pro, offered terrific suggestions as to how to pull off our weekend. She never pressured me or tried to oversell things, but had really great ideas that I could never have come up with on my own. The weekend of my wedding she was my go-to and really stepped up when my bridesmaids were slacking terribly. She stayed at the reception until after 1 am making sure all our things were accounted for and returned to storage and was back there at 7am the next day! She made sure to get slices of all 3 flavors of wedding cake put into the fridge in our room. She even snapped a few pics of me in my dress during pictures, which surprisingly nobody else did, so that I could have a few photos to share on facebook while I waited for the photographer to edit hers. She, and her support staff, are really what made the weekend a huge success. PS: My family was so impressed with Gordon Lodge they are already discussing having a family reunion there. PPS: Many of my parents’ friends commented that in all the weddings they’ve attended, this was the best one. It’s been a week, and people are still calling, texting, and posting on facebook, raving about what a beautiful place it was and how much fun they had.

the topping to make the perfect day a dream come true. The staff is absolutely amazing. I have only a million positive things to say. A+++++++

hey are there to make you happy and your day perfect. The food was delicious, we choose a less expensive item for our entree and still received rave reviews. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. We have the most incredible memories and pictures, thank you Cayla and Gordon Lodge.

ely helpful.

e couldn't have been happier!

ams! Also, the food is to die for! One of the best meals we have ever had. Thank you Amy, Cailey, & the whole GL staff for making our wedding day the best day ever! Jillian & Brian

taken care of and thanks to her, I was stress free throughout the week of the weeding. The food was great and all of our guest loved it! I'd recommend this venue to everyone! No matter the size of your guest-list Gordon Lodge is the perfect spot to host your special day!

a 6 hour event, we wanted an experience of a lifetime for our guests…one that they would not soon forget. Gordon Lodge was one of the first venues we looked at and we knew that we had found the right place. After moving out of state shortly after booking we had considered hiring a wedding planner but Amy Gorham worked with us every step of the way to make sure that my vision was carried out and I was able to sit back and watch as every detail came to life. We had our rehearsal dinner in the beautiful boathouse and a “Welcome Party” for our guests outside near the shoreline where we were able to watch the beautiful horizon at dusk. The wedding was absolutely perfect and the staff at Gordon Lodge made every effort to accommodate every request we had. Rather than having a traditional dinner we chose to have a tasting menu of all of our favorite foods at stations throughout the event center. I didn’t want this to look like a buffet and Amy and her staff were able to come up with some great ideas to accommodate my request. We had a live band, a Scotch and Cigar Bar on the patio, a Butterfly release, homemade Barn Door Entries and Arbors, etc. and Amy found a way to make it all work and to carry out every detail of my vision (no matter how new and different). I am beyond impressed with the dedication and passion I witnessed from Gordon Lodge and am forever grateful! When our guests started tagging “#bestweddingever on social media rather than the one we provided, we knew we gave them an experience of a lifetime and we couldn’t have done that alone.

process and the day so wonderful and stress free! Our guests fell in love with Gordon Lodge and the amenities available there! The whole wedding weekend was beautiful and relaxed, the staff is amazing and made everything so easy! I am so glad we fell in love with Gordon Lodge and chose to get married there, it was our dream wedding and we couldn't be more happy!!

ut. With many decorations and requests, they went above and beyond to make everything work. The grounds itself seems to be out of a movie. Everyone couldn't say enough about how incredible the food was and how friendly the people were. From the very beginning Amy was there with us step by step. Love love love Gordon Lodge. Can't wait to vacation there :)

re the grounds and facilities BEAUTIFUL, the staff is AMAZING! They made our planning process stress free! When the day came, we did not have to worry about a thing! Everything was perfect! Bottom line...beautiful place, great staff, great food, best place for a Wedding in Door County!!

nitely not disappointed. Amy was extremely professional, warm, and welcoming. We booked a year in advance and she was alongside us the entire time. I was able to email her regularly and she responded within 24 hrs typically. I never felt alone during the wedding planning--which is hard to believe considering it was a destination wedding for us! Amy and her staff went above and beyond for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception, which we had all on site. She was able to stay organized and keep us on time throughout the event as well as calm both my nerves and my husband's :). She also worked seamlessly with our outside vendors. The food was AMAZING---we had so many compliments on our choice of venue. If you are trying to decide on a place to get married, pick Gordon Lodge!! You will not be disappointed!! Who wouldn't want to get married right on the water and have the entire wedding (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party, and guest lodging) all ON SITE??! Best choice we made! You will not regret it!!

n helped me bustle my dress. I would highly recommend this venue as well as their Top Deck Restaurant for ongoing date nights.

dding here on June 5, 2016. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The staff at Gordon Lodge is top notch, they know how to accommodate their guests & events. All of our guests were amazed at the beautiful day that Gordon Lodge put on for us. From the amazing grounds, our fun welcome party in the boat house the night before, ceremony on North Bay, cocktail hour(s) & lawn games, delicious dinner, a beautiful rainbow after a short downpour, reception, gorgeous sunset, hanging by the beautiful fire pit area, late night pizzas, and more fun at Top Deck when the reception ended. We couldn't of asked for a better experience. Our wonderful wedding weekend happened because of all the time and effort put forth by everyone that works at Gordon Lodge - thank you for everything! And Amy Gorham (event planner) is a gem. She is extremely helpful and knowledgable and has an answer for everything. We were sad to leave, but we look forward to going back and reminiscing. It was truly a memorable celebration!

aff is incredibly accommodating. It's a perfect venue for a wedding. I can't recommend it more highly.

kfast buffet was fantastic. Our rehearsal dinner was amazing – it was held in the boathouse underneath the top deck bar. We had pizza and salad, and the bar staff was phenomenal! They were so nice and attentive, and we had such a beautiful evening enjoying the sunset by the water. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept, and there are a ton of amenities to keep active and relax. My husband, wedding party, and friends and family and I definitely enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boats available throughout our stay. Our wedding day was simply perfect. I could probably fill a book with everything I loved. From the moment I visited the ceremony site at the point on North Bay, I knew it was where I wanted to marry the love of my life. There is nothing else that compares in Door County or even northeastern Wisconsin. The white chairs and arbor were classic and beautiful, and the sweeping views of North Bay and Lake Michigan cannot be beat. The entire day went off without a hitch, it was like a dream. Our food was great, they were super flexible with our wants and price points, and the food (sirloin, stuffed chicken, and eggplant parm with Door County pies and a late night taco bar) was a hit with all of our guests. (My parents have a certain, INCREDIBLY picky friend who loved his entree and had a great time, so it was a total success). The staff was super helpful in helping us figure out if we needed more alcohol as the night went on and what alcohol to sponsor within our budget. I can't continue to describe how phenomenal Gordon Lodge was without mentioning Amy, the Events Director. Throughout the entire planning process, she was helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure that all the decisions or choices that we, the bride and groom, made we were 100% happy with. I really admired that she was protective of our decisions and vision against vendors and family who may have had other ideas. Although the day flew by, our wedding day was completely perfect thanks to Amy and the rest of the Gordon Lodge staff. We wanted for nothing all day. We've had nothing but compliments over the last 10 days about how beautiful and fun our wedding was, and it's all thanks to Amy and the staff at Gordon Lodge. Everyone made our day so beautiful and easy to enjoy, and I am so grateful for the countless hours and hard work Amy and the team put into making our day seriously perfect. Completely worth every cent! I was incredibly sad to leave, and my only regret was that we should have carved out more time at Gordon Lodge. Amy was there in the morning and stayed late into the night both Friday and Saturday, handling not only three weddings, but also three rehearsal dinners and I think a bridal shower during our stay, some of which was going on simultaneously. She oversaw everything from napkin placement to flower-girl-wrangling to adjusting my train for pictures. Our day was perfect thanks to Amy and the rest of the staff, and we are SO LUCKY to have had a Gordon Lodge wedding.

d one day and checked out a couple venues but when we arrived at Gordon Lodge we immediately knew our search was over. It is the most beautiful property from the wooded areas where there are hiking trails to the gorgeous close-up views of North Bay (especially from some of the cabins!) to the amazing landscaping. It is elegant yet rustic and everything we were looking for in a setting for our wedding. The catering/events manager, Amy, is the best! She is so very good at what she does and made planning and organizing our wedding 1,000 times easier than I could have imagined. She was so helpful with suggestions for vendors, check-lists and keeping things on-time and organized and she always had helpful tips and ideas. She is so sweet and so easy to work with! We ended up having our rehearsal dinner in the Boat House (underneath the restaurant on Gordon Lodge's property) with a "welcome party" after the rehearsal dinner. Since all of our guests traveled up to Door County for the wedding they were all in town the night before the wedding and this was just a perfect way to welcome everyone and spend that much more time with our friends and family. The day of the wedding was just perfect! Everything went so smoothly and I was completely stress-free. All I had to do was get ready and show up! Everything was taken care of and I knew that with Amy in charge and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Our ceremony on Gordon Lodge's property with the lake backdrop was just beautiful and the reception was the most fun night ever! Everything here is just wonderful - the food, the staff, the service, the room accommodations, the views...just everything! If you are looking to get married anywhere in beautiful Door County, you really should consider Gordon Lodge!

l. What we didn't know when we picked the place based on aesthetics was how incredibly AWESOME Amy Gorham and her husband Tony are. Amy worked with us throughout the planning period and had solutions and answers to all of our myriad of questions. Chef Tony was great; at our tasting we liked everything and had a hard time paring it down to just three! We decided to have both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at the Lodge, which worked out perfectly, especially for many of our guests who were staying onsite. On the night of our wedding, Amy was there the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was a life saver when I kept stepping on my dress ... she expertly got to work with safety pins and fixed the issue so I could dance the night away. She is a true professional and clearly takes pride in her work. The weekend was absolutely perfect and will always be a beautiful memory for us. I can't imagine a better place to have a Door County wedding. We can't wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary!

erful and unbelievably helpful. Sandy was our main bartender for 3 of our events and she could not be more helpful, sweet and professional. Finally, last but not least, AMY GORHAM - she is the BEST event manager and made wedding planning such a fun process for us. She took care of so many details that I wouldn't have thought of. Our guests continue to comment on the beauty of the venue, the friendliness and efficiency of the staff and the amazing food!!!

bout the beauty of the location and hospitality of the staff. I would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation!

r reception. The staff was on point tending to the needs of our wedding party and family's. Amy, their coordinator, did a tremendous job throughout the entire planning process. We have been visiting Door County individually and together over the last 15 years and could not have picked a better location as our wedding venue. We will continue to visit Gordon Lodge anniversary after anniversary. Thank you!!!!! - The Millers

wedding, exceeded our expectations. We've already booked our 1 year anniversary and will be back next year!

irst time I laid my eyes on Gordon Lodge my heart stopped…I knew I had found the perfect place. Little did I know how perfect. A few weeks later my son and fiancée came to take a tour and they too were awestruck. And so the three year planning began. To say that the grounds of Gordon Lodge are beautiful is obvious, but Gordon Lodge is so much more….it’s the staff that became family. Your event becomes their family event. They want and deliver the best. From Amy’s coordination of LITERALLY EVERYTHING to Tony’s expertise in the culinary department there was never anyone who didn’t step in to help. Our family and friends loved being able to gather and celebrate for more than just the wedding day…catching up on each other’s lives in one of the most beautiful spots on earth. We still hear stories of how absolutely perfect they all thought Gordon Lodge was. Gordon Lodge is now a part of our family. Our son’s wedding was just the beginning of many, many happy memories that will be made at Gordon Lodge.

ic food and an amazing staff you cannot go wrong with Gordon Lodge. Gordon Lodge creates the perfect scene for a classic Door County wedding: the acres upon acres of woody cedar forest and manicured gardens; the pristine beauty of Lake Michigan with sunrise and sunset views; the swanky vintage vibe of the hotel lodge and lobby; the rustic nautical charm of the boathouse; the understated elegance of the ballroom. It is really tough to describe the enchantment of Gordon Lodge in words, but I believe a little bit of was captured in our wedding pictures. The staff at the Gordon Lodge far exceeded my expectations. From the first time we met Amy Gorham, we knew we were in good hands. This woman has years of experience running weddings; she is a professional and it shows. Amy put us at ease from planning the ceremony and reception to making sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. Thank you to Amy and the entire staff for making the entire stay of our destination wedding a dream come true. We created memories that our family and friends will treasure forever.

us the feel of a destination wedding without going insanely over our budget. The months before our wedding, the coordinator at Gordon Lodge, Amy, kept in contact with us and made sure everything would go according to plan. She was quick to respond about any concerns we had. On the day of our wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly and took all of the stress out of our day. Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. It is several months out, and we are still getting comments about how great the food was, saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Even the pickiest eaters from my family were satisfied. The wedding cupcakes were also very good, not dry like some wedding cakes you might get. I had the cheesecake and my husband had the Door County cherry- both were delicious. One of my guests said we had a "fairy-tale wedding"- it really did feel that way.

le linens to the final product, attention to detail was definitely on point! The staff was so professional and friendly throughout the whole process, they always put a smile on my face. Truly the wedding of my dreams, thanks to Gordon Lodge! :)

ns and the colorful hydrangea bushes were gorgeous. It is truly a little piece of heaven on earth. The view and the surrounding grounds are breath taking. Amy Gorham the event planner was extremely helpful she was there every step of the way and got back to us immediately with answers to our questions. Amy even provided helpful suggestions to make the guests stay more pleasurable and the reception room more beautiful. The whole staff at Gordon Lodge was very nice and went out of their way to help us in any way. All of our friends and family members really were pleased about the extended wedding vacation they had. Also, every morning when you stay at Gordon Lodge you get a full breakfast/brunch. Warm pumpkin, or zucchini bread or Danishes, egg casseroles, to name a few. Unbelievably Yummy!! For our reception we choose 3 entrees Chicken Oscar, Salmon and the Rib eye Steak. The food was all delicious served promptly and Warm!! We chose to have the late night snack of cheese burgers and Brats, a must do. The best cheeseburgers ever!! Our friends and Family could not say enough Wonderful things about Gordon Lodge. Thank you Amy and Staff for making this an Amazing experience

nd and I didn't have that one spot where we knew we wanted to get married; we knew we liked the outdoors, lakes, greenery, cabin-feeling - so after much research on Wisconsin wedding venues, we came across The Gordon Lodge. How many have not heard of this place? I do not know. This place had everything we were looking for, and MORE. WE made the call. And from the very first contact we had with Amy Gorham (the events coordinator), to when we first drove up to see the place, we felt valued. Each and every staff member treated us with the utmost respect and we were in awe with how well-kept the place was. And not to mention, the VIEW. That view. Picturesque. Beautiful. Breathtaking. We made the decision THAT day. We couldn't think of a better place to host our special day. Through the next year of planning, Amy was fantastic with keeping in touch, and making sure things were moving along. There were never any hidden fees or gimmicks, everything was straight forward from the beginning. I couldn't of asked for a better person to work with in planning our wedding. As a very "type A" person, I love lists - I didn't even have to ask for a timeline or list - Amy had already emailed that months prior too. So when it cam for our big day - I felt relaxed, laid back, and soo ready to enjoy it all. Again, as soon as we checked in - the staff was so nice and accommodating. We felt like we were a king and queen. And as our guests arrived, and the weekend moved forward - we didn't stop hearing about how helpful and accommodating the place and staff was to everyone, and again HOW beautiful it was. Our wedding day was finally here, the day went accordingly and mostly as planned (they say there will be something to go unplanned)! A perfect day. The ground keepers were out early cleaning and setting up the ceremony site early, the reception hall staff were so helpful with assisting my maids in setting up, and before we knew it the ceremony was was here. Amy was there to check in with us and the groomsman to make sure we were on time; as I became nervous, Amy assured me several times - everything was going as planned and she made sure I ATE =) She's god-sent! And I must mention - their food! From the Top House to the continental breakfast, and the wedding food - TOP NOTCH!!! The rest is history. Gordon lodge knows how to accommodate many and throw a heck of a party! There's no doubt we'll be back for many years to come to celebrate our anniversaries, share with our future children, and more! Many of our guests have mentioned they will make a yearly trips back and share with their families as well! I HIGHLY recommend this place to all. We can't thank Gordon Lodge enough for all they did to make our dreams reality.
