We love Camp Kiwanee!

We absolutely loved getting married at Camp Kiwanee — their mix of rustic and scenic was exactly what we wanted on our day, and we loved renting out the campground overnight for our afterparty. We also loved the amount of green space with the event spaces all being either in-door or covered. Renae and team were very down-to-earth and responsive to our many questions, plus very helpful when we did venue visits (I would recommend couples who get married here have car access for some on-site time). Guests are still raving about the event even though it was months ago, and we are so excited to continue to visit Kiwanee throughout our married life together!

Magic night, despite pouring rain!

Camp Kiwanee was the most beautiful, fun, perfect venue for our wedding. We were looking for a very low key, easy place where we could just throw a party and Camp Kiwanee was the perfect location for that. We worked closely with Renae who was so responsive and informative about the whole wedding planning process. The ceremony site overlooking the lake is beyond gorgeous and despite downpouring rain it was a beautiful day.

Our day was perfect!

My husband and I got married at Camp Kiwanee on Saturday and I am still over the moon with how amazing our day was. The rustic look and lake was just so perfect. It exceeded our expectations. Dori is also so lovely to work with!
