Hidden gem 30 min from milwaukee

This Venue was more than we ever imagined. Our guests raved about the amazing lake views and wonderful service. Its a modern high class feel for an affordable price compared to most Venues closer to Milwaukee. Parking lot size was small, but they accommodate with valet which gives it a such upscale feel. 10/10 recommend

Beautiful Lake Country Wedding!

What a GORGEOUS place to have our wedding reception!! The club had some renovations done in 2019 and 2020, and the outcome was stunning. With added flowers and decor, our reception was just so charming and romantic. We worked with Maggie throughout the planning process, and she was the best!! She was easy to coordinate and communicate with, and she was there to make sure the day ran smoothly. We even had some larger last minute changes 2 weeks before the wedding that she was able to accommodate.

My husband and I absolutely loved the club and are so thankful we had our reception there, it made our day so special! We would highly recommend it!

Oconomowoc Lake Club was the most beautiful and elegant site for our wedding reception. The entire facility is gorgeous, offering a wonderful view of the lake from every seat in the dining room, the bar, and the dance floor. They even have a great patio off the dance floor to offer guests a place to sit down and cool off! The staff was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the process of planning and executing our wedding. We couldn't thank Sue enough for all the help she gave us. She truly made everything stress free and easy. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the venue and the food! The chef did an amazing job with preparing the hors d'oeuvres, salads, and entrees. It's definitely not just your average wedding meal! We would highly recommend the Oconomowoc Lake Club to anyone looking to have their next event there.

We had our wedding here on Nov 2nd. It was fabulous! Everything went well. We had many different ideas then most traditional weddings and the staff was very accommodating and helped with the planning. I would highly recommend OLC. It was a wonderful value for the price and the venue is beautiful - wonderful views of the lake!

This location was so beautiful we still get comments on it. I think the only thing that I wish was a little different is that it is a club so you will have members around and about during your wedding. Also, there isn't a lot of open space for pictures other than in front of the beautiful lake/pier. Otherwise the food was amazing, the service was outstanding, it was easy to get ahold of and talk to the coordinators there. I had a wonderful day.

This is a GORGEOUS venue with incredible service. Sue does a fantastic job with making sure your day is JUST as you want it. They accommodated all requests and were extremely flexible. She is straightforward, so you don't have to worry about having any surprises thrown at you the day of.

The food was OUTSTANDING. We had many guests mention how fantastic the food was AND that Sue went around asking EACH table how everything was.

They truly did an outstanding job to make our wedding day PERFECT. I HIGHLY recommend the Oconomowoc Lake Club for a wedding.

We chose OLC for our October 2015 wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice! Sue is absolutely amazing, she helps out with everything she can, from accommodating our ideas and decorations to making sure everything we had envisioned for our day comes to be! She was always available for us for questions, and is very organized. She's a pro and has so many ideas to make your day special.
The food is also phenomenal, we chose salmon, chicken, and vegetable lasagna and although we didn't get to eat much, it was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved the food and we received many compliments, We had so many remarks on how beautiful the reception was and how impressed all of our guests were with the lake club! We would highly recommend the OLC, we don't have anything negative to say about it!

We were married at the lake club a few months ago, and we couldn't have been happier! They were amazing to work with, everything was beautifully executed, the food was wonderful and I would choose them again without hesitation. Thank you for helping create our perfect start to our happily ever after!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
