Gordon Lodge

Getting married at the Gordon Lodge was an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff there were excellent—every single one of them was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us and our guests feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout the entire day. A special shoutout to Shannon, who was fantastic to work with. Her attention to detail and thoughtful coordination made the whole day completely stress-free for us. Thanks to her and the entire team, our wedding was seamless and memorable. I highly recommend the Gordon Lodge to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding service!

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 had our wedding at Gordon Lodge this past summer after seeing the venue in the dead of winter. It was stunning even then -- covered in snow. We were impressed to learn that they spend the winter months renovating and had been working to update many of the lodge and cabin bathrooms.

Gordon Lodge is such a treasure! The grounds are stunning all year round but especially in the spring and summer months. Besides being located right on the bay, the manicured gardens and wooded trails make for an amazing, relaxing experience. Compared to the busier villages of Door County, the lodge is in on a quiet side of the peninsula. We loved that our guests could stay a short walk from where our reception would take place in the event center. To take full advantage of the property, there are kayaks, bikes to rent and an awesome pool that our wedding guests took advantage of when they weren't attending wedding events.

After having less than pleasant interactions with the event planners at other venues (outside of Door County) we were so happy to meet Amy. She was immediately warm and welcoming. She was very enthusiastic to show us around the property and explain her role in our wedding day. She is extremely organized and detailed. She sent us multiple iterations of our wedding budget and helped us plan out our wedding timeline to the minute. In my opinion she went above and beyond what I'd expect for a typical coordinator at a wedding venue. You rock, Amy!

Besides the beautiful location, Gordon Lodge also has a fabulous restaurant/kitchen. Breakfast was included at the event center for guests that stayed on the property. It was the perfect place for people to congregate the morning after the wedding. Our wedding guests raved about their meals at both the wedding reception and at our rehearsal dinner which we held in the boat house. My husband and I are huge foodies so having a great meal at our wedding was important to us. Gordon Lodge nailed it!

I can't recommend Gordon Lodge enough -- they helped make our wedding day perfect!

We had the best experience working with Amy and the team at gordon! such a wll oiled machine. Could not have had a better day!!

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!

We can’t thank Amy Starr and the people at Gordon Lodge enough for making our wedding day so memorable. Working together with you all was so easy and stress free. The outdoor ceremony was everything I hoped it would be…small and intimate with family and friends. The clouds made for amazing pictures! The Boat House was beautiful with the lights and linens. A special thank you to our bartender and servers. A another shout out to our chef for a delicious dinner. To everyone who was a part of our day, thank you! You nailed it!

Gordon Lodge was a magical place to get married! We were so happy with the level of service and the experience working with the staff and the wedding planner, Amy. All of the Door County vendors made the day spectacular!

Gordon Lodge was an amazing wedding venue. We held our welcome party, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at Gordon Lodge. Not only are the grounds absolutely stunning with waterfront views and incredible sunsets, but the reception venue itself is perfect. Most of our family and friends were able to stay onsite or very nearby which made the time we had leading up to the wedding even more special. The food was incredible, we are still getting compliments to this day (especially about the cherry crisp)!

One of our favorite aspects of having our wedding at Gordon Lodge, besides the venue, was the event and day of coordinator Amy Starr. She is an absolute dream to work with and 100% wants to make your wedding vision come true. Working with her was like working with family or a really close friend, and we will be forever thankful for all of her help in creating such a smooth and wonderful day - if there were any hiccups we definitely didn't know about them.

We will cherish our memories of our wedding week and day forever and have Gordon Lodge, Amy Starr and the entire Gordon Lodge staff to thank. We cannot wait to make many annual trips back to Gordon Lodge to celebrate our anniversaries to come.

Gordon Lodge was the most beautiful venue. Lots of great photo opportunities before the wedding and the water made a beautiful backdrop for the day. Best of all, though - Amy! Honestly, meeting her solidified Gordon Lodge was the place for us. She knows what she’s doing! She helped us work our ideas into the day, while ensuring the day would still flow well. She’s down to earth, flexible, a good communicator, and genuine! Cannot say enough great things about working with her!
