When Sam and I first started planning our wedding we both agreed we wanted a venue that brought our family and friends together for an intimate, fun and unforgettable weekend – well, Hotel Walloon is just that!
Hotel Walloon was absolute perf...ection. I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars because they truly deserve it. From the moment we reached out for a quote they were nothing but attentive, genuine, hospitable and accommodating. We instantly felt comfortable and knew we were in good hands. All of our wedding guests stayed at the hotel and have continued to rave about the service. The entire staff is focused on the guests feeling at home.
Lauren Butwell was especially amazing to work with. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She’s incredibly organized, diligent and professional and she always manages to do everything with a smile.
Another great thing about getting married in Walloon Lake (besides how gorgeous it is!) is how close everything is to HW. You have plenty of food (Barrel Back, Walloon Lake Inn, The General Store, Johan’s, etc ), drink and shopping options within a short walking distance. This was key for our guests! They all had plenty to do the entire weekend. No one was ever left wondering what to do next. Plus, Tommy’s (boat rental) is directly next door to HW so people were able to rent kayaks, pontoons, speed boats, etc with no issues.
Other vendors we HIGHLY recommend:
Tableau Events (wedding planner)
BLOOM Floral (florist)
Simply Sweet by Jessica (baker)
Charlie Millard (musician)
L’USA (band)
