I was so excited to get married at Wild Eagle Lodge being a long time Eagle River vacationer but unfortunately it did not go as planned. Prior to our wedding the wedding coordinato...
r retired so we started working with the General Manager. On the morning of set up, the staff sat at a table and said they had to finish breakfast before assisting in setting up the tables and chairs....at 10AM. My friend ended up vacuuming because the floor wasn’t clean. We had two bartenders and one informed our guests throughout the night where we were at with our tab which was not his place to do. Shots were given out when they were not on our contract, which in turn increased our tab tremendously. We shared the frustrations with the GM after the wedding but not much was done to remedy the situation.
We could not have imagined a better time at WEL. The event coordinator, Robin, was the most helpful and generous person we could have asked for and helped us with our first questio...
ns about the venue one year before our wedding up through the planning and rehearsal dinner right up until moments before I walked down the aisle and then into the evening.
The lodge itself is beautiful and convenient beyond words. We stayed the night before the wedding, our wedding night, and the entire day/night after the wedding just to try and enjoy some of the other amazing things the lodge has to offer. We were more than satisfied and plan on going back every year to revisit our new special place!
Wild Eagle Lodge was such a perfect venue for our wedding! It was beautiful scenery and so welcoming to all of our guests. The lodge itself was amazing - the rooms were spacious an...
d so many guests commented that they wanted to come back for future summer vacations. Robin was so wonderful to work with and was so responsive with every little question we had. One downfall was that we were required to work with one tent vendor, which was a little more expensive than others in the area. However, they knew the area, worked well with everyone, and were very quick with set up. I wish I could get married there again!
Our choice to have our wedding at Wild Eagle Lodge was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Robin, the on-site wedding coordinator, was instrumental in helping us make go...
od decisions throughout the planning process, kept us on track, and helped make the day a success with an untold number of behind-the-scenes moves. Blue Heron, the on-site restaurant, was incredibly helpful as well, from letting us store desserts we brought from Minnesota to being fantastically friendly hosts of our cocktail bar. Jean and Brittany of Blue Heron made this happen, with excellent advice and guidance that made our guests feel taken care of.
And the resort itself is divine. Our ceremony site was utterly beautiful -- a peaceful sanctuary shrouded by fall colors, a soft breeze rustling the most beautiful pines and birch trees, and a blue sky ocean. Our family and friends staying in the lodge condos with us remarked on how gorgeous they were -- a few of our relatives tossed up the idea of purchasing retirement homes there. The grounds were impeccable and constantly maintained. The condos were plush, warmly decorated, and stocked with every imaginable kitchen and bathroom supply.
We could go on and on -- about the vacation toys available to borrow and rent, about the stunning lake, about everything Robin did to make our wedding day perfect. Choosing Wild Eagle Lodge is the single best choice we made.
When we first met with Robin at Wild Eagle Lodge we knew right away that was our venue for our wedding! Aside from the beautiful resort and water front property Robin was great to...
work with. She was extremely responsive throughout the planning of our wedding and provided great recommendations for all of our vendors! Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be thanks to Robin and all of her help and support. Our guests had a great time and many are planning to return to visit. We can't thank Robin enough for all of her help in planning our perfect wedding day!!! Jean at the Blue Herring at Wild Eagle Lodge was great to work with as well. We had an impromptu pizza dinner a few days before the wedding and an after wedding brunch that worked out perfectly. She was extremely responsive which made it easy to work out all the details! We will definitely be returning to Wild Eagle Lodge in the years to come!!!
We looked at the Wild Eagle but didn't end up going with it because we wanted something more secluded. It had a very 'resort' feel where there was just a LOT of people around and a...
lmost too many amenities. When she said she would charge me per chair to move them if it started raining, I knew they weren't really in it to make sure everything went smoothly included in the price.
This review is primarily about Wild Eagle Lodges wedding coordinator Robin and the assistance she provided!
We could not have completed our wedding without her! Robins enthusiasm ...
for her job is infectious, and her love of weddings and brides (that even I didn’t have as a bride!) makes for an exceptional experience. At every step of the way we were always confident in going to her with questions and for recommendations. Planning a wedding from a distance is very difficult and Robin always reassured us that everything would be ok! She was realistic about what we technically needed and what would be preferable. For example, with the number of guests we were recommended to have a 40x60 tent, but Robin suggested we upgrade to a slightly larger one, 40x80, to make the space seem more comfortable. And she was exactly right! The space felt open, airy, and even though it was hot because of all the dancing, everyone was comfortable!
We have a lot of trust in Robin, and she has trust in her venders, which in turn made the entire experience much more enjoyable.
Jean at the Blue Heron Restaurant also deserves an honorable mention! She coordinated drinks for us for a barbecue on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and an entire brunch on Sunday. While there was a slight hiccup with alcohol acquisition, she did everything she could to solve the problem. You can never avoid problems, particularly with weddings, and Jean handled the corrections with such care that it is commendable! She was always open and clear about the situation, and we are very grateful for all of her help.
If you are planning an Eagle River wedding, Wild Eagle Lodge is the place to do it!
I couldn't have asked for anything better. We had intermittant showers on the day of our wedding and the staff at Wild Eagle were on the spot and ready to help. They wiped down s...
eats without our request, helped move gifts during dinner, assisted in setup, tear down, and in between. Deb and her staff work like crazy to put on a gorgeous setting while being invisible. The grounds were very well maintained and the lake backdrop is gorgeous. Our pictures say it all!
The weather lended a hand in making our day extra beautiful (mid-70's in October!) but the staff at Wild Eagle was fantastic. Deb (the wedding coordinator) could not have been mor...
e helpful, kind and supportive. The location is stunning - sitting between 2 lakes and surrounded by trees. The lodge homes will not disappoint your guests. They are large and the Wild Eagle offers steep discounts to wedding guests.
The Wild Eagle offers the support of a wedding coordinator who will ensure you are in touch with the right vendors (and will help coordinate those communications) but they do not contract services directly through them. Catering, tent rental, etc will all be contracted separately.
We chose to have our wedding in a large tent on the event grounds. They keep the lawn well manicured and ensured that everything is clean and perfect for the big day.
Eagle River was a destination for us (we live in Madison, WI) and the comments we received from our guest were outstanding; needless to say they did not mind the trip. Do not hesitate to go look at Wild Eagle and book your wedding here. They will ensure all is perfect for your big day!
Thanks so much to the staff at The Wild Eagle Lodge. My wedding day was perfect. Not only was my wedding day perfect but they also made sure that my cook out the day before was gre...
at as well. The staff and the Wild Eagle went above and beyond what I could have imagined. They did everything they promised they would do and more. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and they were very accomodating. All of the staff was really helpful and freiendly. I reccommend the Wild Eagle to EVERYONE. If you are looking for a perfect place to have your wedding "Up North" this is the best place you could choose. They did everything from lighting my candles to setting up and taking down the chairs for my ceremony. They also let me decide what I wanted and went out of their way to accomodate my requests. Tammy (the wedding cordinator) helped me with everything including picking a photographer, florist and DJ. I honestly can't say enough good things about the Wild Eagle! Thank you again sooo much!
