I always appreciated these reviews as a bride, and this one is lengthy but I cannot express how great Gordon Lodge is.

I’m going to start out by saying this, that if anyone is going to get married in the Door County area, you should pick Gordon Lodge. It was SO convenient to have everyone on site, as well as having everything in one place for our day. They do have a two night minimum (like everywhere else in Door County), but we were so thankful for that because the night of goes SO fast. We had around 150 guests, and I can’t imagine saying hi to everyone in one night! It’s just impossible! So we were thankful we saw people starting Thursday since that’s when we headed up there.

The Gordon Lodge came with a day of coordinator, Amy Starr. She was AMAZING! I CANNOT imagine the stress of planning a wedding without her. She did a lot more than just this, but even having her plan the timeline for me was so helpful! I was able to give it to my photographers/other vendors, and our day of went SO smooth because of her. I remember not even worrying about the time/where to be, etc because Amy handled all of that. It was also so helpful to drop off all our decor/decorations and have her handle where they should go. (Brides, trust the professionals!!) Amy also was great in our multiple cancellations we had the week of, and was so helpful in putting those funds other places so they didn’t go to waste. She checked in multiple times the day of the wedding, and even my bridesmaids commented on how fun she was.

The staff handled all the set up/take down of decor (again, hire a venue that does this! It was so nice having everyone enjoy the day/weekend and not have to do these tasks!) and we got to pick everything up Sunday morning that was already packed up for us. We received a lot of compliments on how great they were, and also how delicious all our food options were.

Gordon Lodge is a beautiful setting to have your wedding. There are endless places for backdrops of pictures. The ceremony site is gorgeous as well. We even got to rent a house on property for all our bridal party to stay in which was so fun. It was a “one stop shop” and I can’t tell you how many compliments we received from our guests on everything for our wedding weekend.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about how amazing the staff at Gordon Lodge is and how they helped make our beautiful wedding so special in the most gorgeous setting. Amy was so helpful in coordinating vendors and wedding party members, making sure everything was perfect and everyone had what they needed all weekend long. You couldn’t ask for a friendlier staff who was so attentive and really made us feel so special. The food and specialty cocktails were delicious. The wedding of our dreams came to life at Gordon Lodge and it will forever be a very special place for us!

We were fortunate to hold our Welcome Party for 176 guests at Gordon Lodge in early September. Over the course of planning we asked many questions and Amy, the event coordinator, responded quickly anytime we needed her. We contacted vendors that she recommended, all turned out to be wonderful, made informed decisions based on Amy’s and the vendor’s recommendations and we did it all from over 600 miles away, site unseen until the day before our event.

The reason we chose Gordon Lodge was, because of the ability to have the celebration both outside and inside. We didn’t want to have the stress of worrying about the weather leading up to the party. We were fortunate to be able to have the cocktail hour outside on the beautifully landscaped property and use the outside bar and lawn. We had games set up for the adults and an area for the kids to run around and play before coming inside for dinner. Gordon Lodge is a great kid-friendly venue! The Garden Room, where we had the kids set up, is separated from the main dining area allowing kids to be kids, but close enough for the parents to easily check on them.

The entire evening ran on schedule . The tables were set-up just as we requested, the meal was delicious and the cherry crisp was devoured! We appreciated the bartenders being courteous to each guests request. We had many guests come up to us and say it was the best Welcome Party/Rehearsal Dinner that they had attended.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Amy and her entire team!
