Par 5 Resort

ur cocktail hour. Stephanie was very instrumental in execution. The waitstaff was very attentive to our needs. We received many compliments on the foods from our guests. Both bartenders were great. When we started our planning we had Heather as our planner, but she decided to leave the company 4 months before our wedding. Once Stephanie was assigned to our wedding, we set up meetings with Stephanie to ensure that our vision wasn't lost. Stephanie was quick on responding to any email.

ed with who they would be working with. The day of we had Stephanie. She was nice and polite but useless. There was a larger wedding the same day and that wedding got the entire support of the venue. She was present for the rehearsal but did nothing but stand in the back. No help. The day of the wedding was a mess. The ballroom was disgusting. I asked her multiple times to steam the linens (she did for the other wedding) which she never did. The linens were so dirty and stained. We asked for new ones multiple times but she told us they had no more on site so we got the dirty ones. I couldn't eve get the carpet to be vacuumed. The entire staff was a joke. Typically a venue coordinator would be on-site to help with some minor setup, tell the couples when to walk for the ceremony, and be there to run dinner service. Nope! We were left completely alone. The decor/linens for the ceremony were blowing into the water and when I asked her for help the response was "we don't do that here". The food was awful. The bride had to yell at the staff serving the head table because she kept giving us the wrong food. The food we did get was disappointing. 100% different from the tasting which was good. The cake was supposed to be placed on the dessert table and instead the girls were passing slices to the tables so guests couldn't even request a flavor. I stopped the girls and explained this was incorrect but they just kept doing it. The entire reception we were left with no staff to help with anything except one bartender who kept getting pulled away to help with the other wedding. So there were multiple times guests would be in line at the bar with no staff anywhere in site. It was a complete joke and I will never recommend this venue to another couple. Stay far away. You get what you pay for and even that isn't worth it here.

and helped in anyways that we needed them. They took care of setting everything up as well as taking it all down that night! Our food was great and we heard nothing but positive comments from our guest. If I had to do it all again, I would choose Fox Hills!

cohol. I was disappointed that their adult price includes everyone over 12. So we had to pay the same price for those under 21, who can't drink, as those over 21. Same price for the vendors as well. The staff was very helpful and available to answer all questions. Our day of coordinator was amazing. It ended up raining and we weren't able to have our ceremony outside. He handled everything, getting soaked to help us get set up.

dance floor was sticky. And cleaning up the next morning (getting our decorations out) it looked like the floor still had not been mopped for the next event that was being held there. Also, the doors to the hall were not locked. And when we sat down for dinner, there were pieces of paper put under our plates with very disgusting quotes/phrases written on the paper. It was written on fox hills stationary, and we know that it wasn't any of our group, because myself and the groom were the first ones in there that day. I was not happy. So, if you have your reception here, tell them that the doors need to be locked!

. It was also nice that we didn't need to have a licensed baker for the wedding cake. The coordinator we worked with, Heather was very helpful and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted! The food was also great but some of the tables didn't get all the food (we had family style) but that is my only negative experience with this vendor.

e part in the success of the weekend. She's a seasoned planner who is a pleasure to work with - she's very responsive and had great recommendations throughout the planning process. She also kept the behind the scenes running that resulted in a flawless execution. Another thing we liked about Fox Hills was the flexibility they allowed with vendors. Since there were so few restrictions, we were able to use Pick N Save for our flowers and cake and we skipped the DJ in favor of Spotify, which saved us a ton of money. In general our wedding reception was a great value - the food, booze, space rental and service charge pricing at Fox Hills were the best we found in our search (although, for reference, we are from Milwaukee and were comparing pricing to our local venues). All in all, we highly recommend Fox Hills Resort!

d unprofessional because I'm sure the bridal party being a few minutes late isn't that uncommon (we were 15 minutes past the time we were supposed to arrive). The 2nd thing was they had security and I heard from several guests that they bullied them. They were rude to my parents and I thought it was unnecessary.

ay I wanted it and was beautiful!

f information to make informed decisions about our wedding reception. i loved that so many things were part of the package. we were able to use the venue without a rental charge if we met a certain minimum amount spent on the meal. their meal prices are very very competitive and were the best i was quoted, but the quality of the food did not suffer. we only heard positive feedback on the food (chicken monteray, sage roasted pork, or pasta primavera) and my husband and i mmm'ed our way through our meal. alcohol was priced extremely well. we didn't have to worry about not being able to serve our guests what they wanted because of price or availability. the service was outstanding! everything at the reception went so smoothly. i didn't have to worry about anything! i highly recommend fox hills resort. we are so happy that we chose to have our wedding reception there. if i could go back, i'd make the same decision again! note: our total cost of service includes meals, alcohol, and all service charges for 300 guests. it was a great value!
