The hotel has been recently remodeled to reflect contemporary elegance. Today, it provides a beautiful setting for modern, sophisticated weddings. This upscale hotel was designed in 1923 as a mark of refinement and grandeur. Owner Walter Schroeder was responsible for a lot of Wisconsin’s top hotels at the time. The Hotel Retlaw is no exception in quality. Built eight stories high in neoclassical style, it’s detailed facade welcomes guests into a lavish interior. The inside has been carefully redesigned to keep up with the demands of a modern society. Today, it features decadent marble finishes, sleek dark tones, and sparkling chandeliers. The Hotel Retlaw has managed to remain timeless in keeping with the times. Soon-to-be-weds can plan an unforgettable celebration here. The venue’s luxurious event areas are ideal for celebrations small and large. The Crystal Ballroom gives couples the chance to take a step back in time. This stunning event space comes with all the glitz and glam of the 20s. Vintage sconces complement the detailed pilasters on the wall. A grand piano offers a classic accompaniment for an elegant first dance. The newlyweds can twirl the night away beneath a romantic chandelier. This stunning ballroom accommodates up to 200 guests. More intimate spaces are available for smaller wedding gatherings. This is ideal for pre-wedding parties and rehearsal dinners. The team at The Hotel Retlaw is committed to crafting one-of-a-kind wedding experiences. They offer custom packages to take care of couples’ every need. This professional staff will proudly bring couples’ visions to life. They offer planning and design services to set the big day in motion. From beginning to end, the team gives their full attention to every important detail. They will help the happy couple pick out the best place to tie the knot. For the reception, the hotel’s talented caterers can create a mouth-watering menu. They will strive to impress even the most refined palate from hors d’oeuvres to desserts. Once plates have been cleared away, guests can flock to the bar for a refreshing drink. The hotel contains 121 deluxe rooms and suites. After the celebrations are over, loved ones can lay their heads on luxurious Egyptian cotton pillows. Each room comes fully equipped with soft bathrobes and a rain-style showerhead. The newlyweds can sink into luxury while looking back on their special day.

Hotel Retlaw was the absolute perfect place for our wedding day! My husband and I knew the second we walked in that this was where we wanted to get married, and Thai and her team did NOT disappoint! Thai was so attentive and made every accommod...
ation we requested. She kept us up to date on what the next steps where are really communicated everything we needed to know in a timely and professional manner. In the days before the wedding, she helped answer last minute questions and made last minute changes for us without any issue! The staff the day before and the day of were SO helpful. The servers and bartenders did everything they could to make sure our guests left satisfied! Honestly, if you are looking for an elegant venue in the Fox Valley, this is it. You won’t be disappointed.

We had our wedding at the Retlaw in December of 2019. The venue is beautiful, which made decorating easy. In addition to the ballroom, we rented the room across the hall which we used for a bar location and appetizers. Several guests comment...

Our reception was at a golf course, and there was not a hotel within walking distance. We shuttled guests to the Retlaw Plaza at the end of the night. It is in the perfect location for anyone who was looking to keep the night going after the re...
ception. There is a bar in the lobby of the hotel as well as several right across the street. It was roughly $110/night for guests, and our "executive suite" was free because we filled our block of 15 rooms. I have no complaints.

We did not have our reception at the Retlaw but they were our main lodging for guests and the wedding party. They worked with on a great rate when Holiday Inn Refused. They also did a shuttle service for use to and from the hotel and reception ...
hall complimentary. Our room was wonderful and all of our guests complimented on how nice it was. They gave us all breakfast vouchers which was really nice. I would definitely recommend using the Retlaw Plaza Hotel. The bonus is they are right on main street if you are looking to go out to the bars.
