Wendy Sent on 07/14/2024Perfect for any event!
I have attended MANY events at Rosewood; starting with my niece's engagement party, to my mother's wedding, to my sister's wedding, to my nephew's wedding, to a co-worker's wedding as well as many enjoyable evenings at Sunset on the Patio! Mark & Gretch have always been professional and thoughtful hosts who demonstrate integrity and caring every step of the way. They value families and friendship, music and creativity! And the staff there at Rosewood is fantastic! They work very hard and are proud of their contributions to a rare and wonderful venue I hope everyone gets the opportunity to experience! -

My only daughter had her wedding at Rosewood. It was a wonderful occasion at a unique and beautiful venue! I was so proud to hear our guests express how impressed they were with the facility. People said they felt that Rosewood just "wrapped its arms around them". The food was great, the sound system was perfect for all of our music selections, and they did a great job showing our videos and pictures in the Theatre Room and Master dining room. People just loved the beautiful bar, and all were happy with their drinks and the mixologists! When one of my sons gets married, I'll do my best to make sure that wedding is also at Rosewood - definitely a cut above!!! -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/25/2023The Rosewood team and venue helped inspire the best wedding we could have imagined.
The Rosewood team and venue helped inspire the best wedding we could have imagined. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and allowed us to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony among the flowers and nature. The gazebo, the cobblestone walk to the gazebo, and set up were right out of my dreams. We got married on a hot August day, and of course rain was expected. That wasn’t an issue for the Rosewood team, who in a flash could move the festivities inside – we didn’t need to, but knowing that was an option was a huge stress reducer!
We loved the fact that everything was in one place – from the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing and chatting with friends and family under the stars and lights. The outdoor patio and firepits are amazing – we love them so much we go back for other events! We had young kids and older relatives using walkers in attendance – and the team made everything accessible and accommodating. The flow of the event kept everyone engaged throughout the night.
The food was great, I only wish I could have tried more of it! We heard several people rave about the different options available – and we had a few chefs in the group too – so that’s high praise!
I can’t give higher praise to the Team who helped put the event together. The owners of the venue and our coordinator hold a special place in our hearts and are a big part of happy memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We had a few crazy requests and a few last-minute changes and they were rockstars and made everything happen seamlessly. My only critique is that they weren’t able to slow down time so we could enjoy everything just a bit more. The day goes SO FAST! I normally don’t gush, but seriously, they made everything happen PERFECTLY! We couldn’t have been happier with the final experience! It really was well beyond expectation!

This venue was nothing shy of perfect. Every single staff member was beyond amazing. I could not have asked for a better place to host my wedding. The food was great! I had at least 50 of our 130 guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. On top of that, I didn't have to worry about a single thing during the whole day. This venue hardly needs any decorations because of it's natural beauty. Many of my guests mentioned that they will be back for the dinners/music that Rosewood hosts. If I could give this venue a million stars I would! -

Stephanie Sent on 10/26/2022Wonderful Wedding!
I was looking for a venue that covered most of the bases but still allowed me to make decisions, because I was planning from out of state, and this one HIT THE MARK. I especially loved working with my coordinator (included in the wedding package) Dori Davis-Beck. I didn't realize how handy a coordinator is until I had my own wedding and I now know that I was in the best hands! She was extremely thoughtful and included special touches to our wedding day that were unique to us. She was attentive, organized, kind, and was always available to communicate with me when I had questions or plans. My wedding couldn't have been more beautiful and meaningful and it is thanks to the Rosewood team and Dori!!! -

We had an awesome experience at Rosewood for our 8/28/22 wedding!! The Director of Events, Dori, is amazing to work with and on top of everything! She was very professional, maintained excellent communication and extremely kind!! She was very attentive to our details and special requests and helped our day flow smoothly! We experienced some rain during our wedding, but the entire Rosewood team was extremely accommodating and flexible during our day! I would absolutely recommend this venue and team! Thank y’all again for everything! -

Victoria Sent on 11/08/2019Best Wedding Ever!
I can't begin to describe how great my wedding was at Rosewood. I've gotten compliment after compliment about everything from the food, to the decor/general vibe, to the music! We had a significant amount of input into everything, if we wanted to, but Rosewood by itself clearly knows weddings. I was rarely super stressed during the entire planning process, because pretty much all the big ticket items are covered by Rosewood. By booking them we had our ceremony location, reception hall, catering, DJ, bridal suite, etc. We really only had to worry about hiring an officiant and a photographer. We could have done our flowers in house too! The only reason we didn't was to support a family friend who owns a florist shop. Everything went SO smoothly, and I know my guests absolutely adored the entire event. I had multiple people tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to! And I know that's entirely related to the STUNNING venue, the DELICIOUS food options, and the efficiency and care of the staff. I wouldn't have changed a THING about our wedding!! -

Jeneal Sent on 07/11/2016Our wedding at Rosewood was a picture-perfect day!! We could not have asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding for both the ceremony and reception! Rosewood was a fantastic place for our outdoor wedding, with a beautiful gazebo as the backdrop. Then the reception hall is absolutely gorgeous! It is has a rustic feel, with beautiful wood finish all around, but at the same time it has an elegant feel because there is so much attention to all the little details in the decorations. Everything from the light fixtures, to the stained glass window behind the bar -- it is just a beautiful venue through and through. It was perfect for me and my husband because we didn't have to break our budget with decorations, because the venue itself is just simply gorgeous! We had so many guests comment on how lovely the venue looks, and the pictures turned out stunning!
Of course, the staff were absolutely wonderful in helping with all the details in preparation for the wedding. The whole staff made every step of the process easy for us. Rosewood helped us customize our day by suggesting local vendors and crafting a custom menu for our wedding. And let me tell you, the food was DELICIOUS! Chef Schnupp did a fantastic job creating a diverse and tasty menu, and our guests loved the unique flavors. This isn't just your typical "wedding-food", I mean it is top-notch delicious stuff! The chef also designed our cake, which was extremely tasty as well.
Rosewood has beautiful lighting to set the mood both for dinner and the dance floor. The lighting on the dance floor was awesome to dance to!
Being one of the first few weddings at Rosewood, my husband and I could not have been more happy with the services we received from Rosewood! If you're looking for a place that is different than your typical "banquet hall" or "resort style" which is typical in the Lake Geneva area, I would highly suggest you look into Rosewood! -

Chris Sent on 08/03/2022Best of both worlds
With the combination of elegant indoor and breathtaking outdoor settings, this venue was absolutely perfect for our family and friends. It was a rainy day and they were extremely flexible in waiting until 2 hrs before the ceremony to make the decision on whether to move the ceremony indoors or leave it outside. We had so many people tell us that the food was delicious and there was plenty of it. Everything was done through the venue - location, food, desserts, beverages, music and floral. Made our lives SO MUCH EASIER than dealing with a bunch of different vendors. **the photo included was not taken by our professional photographer ** -

Incredible Venue
I have traveled all over the world and Rosewood is now my new favorite place to visit, seriously! From day one of visiting Rosewood, my husband and I felt the love from all of the staff, and we fell in love with the venue and the atmosphere it creates. The dining room and indoor bar are absolutely stunning. The outdoor patio was the most unique selling point of this venue in comparison to all the other venues we visited in the southeast region of Wisconsin as well as Milwaukee. The staff are so kind and friendly, it's a real family atmosphere there. There is a gazebo outside for your wedding ceremony with a nice long aisle for the bride to walk down, or there is an indoor option as well. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to covid and the Rosewood team was SO understanding and accommodating! Speaking of the team, most of the vendors you would usually need to outsource, are in-house over at Rosewood! They have their in-house chef, waiters, bar staff, florist, DJ, etc. We live in London (but I am originally from Wisconsin) so having this one stop shop made planning a wedding from across the pond so much easier. All we needed to find was a photographer and videographer!
Our wedding ended up being perfect. The food was great, their bar and wine list was a big hit with our guests, the aesthetic of the venue is already so gorgeous you don't need to decorate it at all! We had a lot of international guests from the UK and Europe and they all loved visiting this part of the world and experiencing a bonfire with s'mores. Everyone, no matter where they were from, loved the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere rather than just sitting in one big ballroom all day and night. People also enjoyed the chef attended dinner stations as it allowed them to get up and move around and mingle throughout dinner. Also, their bridal suite is huge and beautiful! I got ready in there along with my seven bridesmaids and we all had plenty of space to all do our hair and make up and take photos. There is ample parking on site and room for shuttle buses to drop off and pick up guests. They have high end sound systems and a video wall to play music videos along with your dance music which everyone loved!
I want everyone to get married here because I think you can really create a personalized wedding for you and your guests in such a unique, relaxed atmosphere. We are so thankful we found this venue!
Our wedding coordinator was Jen and she was so easy to communicate with and we would highly recommend working with her.
The day after our wedding we went back to the venue for their "Sunset on the Patio" gig which was so nice to still live in that wedding moment but to be able to just sit and relax, and not be hosting! But to just listen to music and have a drink and debrief on the day before. -

Erin Sent on 09/23/2019Absolutely fantastic!
Rosewood's value for their accommodation is phenomenal--I can't say enough about how reasonably priced it is for all they provide. Not only is it fairy-tale, rustic-chic beautiful, but the staff work hard at making sure you as the couple don't stress on your big day. Dustin, our coordinator, went out of his way to work with our needs and ensure we were as at ease for our wedding. I can't say enough about the staff and the gorgeousness of this place -- it's truly a gem. -

You will be Ecstatic if you have your wedding at Rosewood.
Preparation-We ended up having to switch our wedding coordinator but Beth was everything we hoped for as more. She stayed on top of details, clarified when there needed to be and made the entire day go as smooth as it could. If there were any hiccups we couldn’t tell and neither could our guests.
Morning set up-This was done by the bride and close family members with help of Rosewood staff. We didn’t decorate too much because we didn’t want to steal and of the ambience Rosewood creates.
Food-
You’ll have most of your guests coming up to you and raving about the food. The setup of how things are done, the quality, the quantity...you name it this will set the bar for future weddings you attend.
Ceremony-
When it came time for the bride to hide away before the ceremony guests were able to come in and experience the venue and see the changes that have happened since it was Millie’s. Shawn did an excellent job with the sound/music and we filmed the ceremony with an IPad and it turned out perfectly.
Flowers-We stayed in house and Jo did a fantastic job with pricing and with putting everything together. We have been using the flowers weeks after the wedding for our home and for gifts.
Reception-
The unique wedding wall might seem strange at first but you’ll have people engaged through the evening. The option for being inside or outside provides a different atmosphere from other wedding venues.
Overall-
If you choose here you will separate yourselves from other weddings not only with the style of dinner but with the quality of the food. When we were starting our “special” dances the way the dance hall transforms provides beautiful photo opportunities. Being able to have an indoor and an outdoor option for quests was fantastic.
*You do have to have all objects out of the venue before the night ends but the staff does a great job of boxing things up for you so that you only have to load and go. -

Kyle Sent on 07/06/2024They had it all! If you're looking for the all-in-one wedding event space, you've found it.
My wife and I were one of the first weddings at Rosewood shortly after they opened in 2016. The space and service could not have been better for our day.
We had our ceremony outside in the gazebo, which was a gorgeous natural setting, and the sound equipment outdoors worked very well. The proximity to Lake Geneva area attractions made for wonderful photos, even possible for us to sneak away in between the ceremony and the reception with our bridal party. However, for those that weren’t a part of the photos, the reception just inside down the brick path (they didn’t have the phenomenal patio space built yet- we’re a little jealous). What we loved about the space was that we had our cocktail reception in the bar/music/dance area, then transitioned to the dining room for the formal meal, and then were able to transition seamlessly back to the dance area for the moving and grooving. It really allowed people to spread out and move at their own pace and choose their own experience as the night went on. The quality of the sound/lights, and quad-screen set up showing our slideshow and other music videos made for some unforeseen awesome photos and a very special touch.
The staff had everything where it needed to be when they did. We used the on-site chef, and the food, which we had in various serving stations around the dining room, was phenomenal. We’ve been to a LOT of friends’ weddings, and still, to this day, we think we had the best food. It made us stop and pay attention to it even in the midst of the beautiful flurry of the day.
We also appreciated the referrals for people like photography and such, though we ended up using an external photographer, which we appreciated them being ok with. Being one of the first weddings, we had a number of conversations to smooth everything out leading up to it, but Mark and Gretchen were generous and reasonable hosts and helped to make our wedding truly memorable for us and all our guests.

Incredible, acoomodating, caring
When looking at Rosewood for my wedding, I knew instantly that this was where I wanted to get married. The staff was so kind and took pride in their work. When meeting With Dustin, he was able to answer all of our questions and show us how our day will look when making our decision. A huge selling point is their inclusivness. When you chose Rosewood you are able to sit back and relax. They provide the venue, music, food, and bar. They also provide a day of coordinator that will make sure your big day goes smoothly. We had Carla and Autumn. Both of these wonderful woman made our day so perfect. They truly care about you and want your day to be perfect. I highly recommend Rosewood for any event. I am so happy with our decison to have our big day at Rosewood. -

Jordan Sent on 12/31/2025Great but could be improved
We loved the atmosphere and venue that the Rosewood provided for our wedding day! Gretch was very thorough and attentive to laying out what our day would look like in the initial venue tour. We fell in love with the whole vibe and potential to make it our own. However, there were a few things that were handled poorly, that could be improved upon professionally. Our wedding coordinator, Autumn, was a very nice/kind person, however I made several attempts to establish more frequent planning meetings and each time I felt our event was put on the back burner. I understand many wedding events were going on at the same time, but more notice and follow through on planning would have put me more at ease. Secondly, a week before the wedding, we were asked about “severity of allergies” and to confirm age groups on the guest list that were confirmed and provided months prior. Beth, luckily, stepped in and assured that a contingency plan for allergy concerns was in place. Thirdly, for the price we paid for day-of coordination, our coordinator Autumn was very hands off. She came up to me once in the beginning to say she was there to help, but then did NOT actively seek out opportunities to coordinate our wedding party responsibilities. She said something off putting to one of my bridesmaids commenting “why are these guests not showing up that RSVP’d?!,” which was perceived as disrespectful and unprofessional. She appeared to use a prior injury as an excuse for not giving 100% of her effort on the time she was allotted to work due to restricted hours. Looking back, if we had Gretch and our DJ coordinate our wedding, we would have been much happier. Overall, we loved the gazebo, food, the venue and the rustic vibe, and outdoor seating and everything turned out in the end. -

Alyssa Sent on 11/20/2017Rosewood is beautiful. The renovations they've made are fantastic, and we were fortunate enough to have our wedding after they completed their patio area. The woodwork is classy and rustic. The theater area cleanly transitions to a dance floor in just moments, and the bar is picturesque. The gazebo is a great setting for the ceremony, and we liked that we had a back-up option to move the wedding inside in if the weather was bad. The bridal suite is great, and hopefully they will have a defined area for the men (or other partner) in the future. We chose the chef attended stations so guests could get what they wanted that night and the food was fresh and delicious, though one of the lines was noticeably slower than the other of the same type.
The issue that we had revolved around communication with the venue. Our coordinator could be hit or miss, and it sometimes seemed that we were an annoyance for going through someone else to get a response. Some of this can be attributed to their switching email management systems, so hopefully that will be resolved some in the future. We also had a problem with adjustments to the contract somewhat close to the wedding. While the contract gave us access to the entire property, the newly finished patio was an additional cost for "stocking and manning" the bar. They also changed the bartender to guest ratio, which we understand is for guest comfort but would have added a small chunk of change to our cost. The prices of vendor and child meals and seemed to differ on the contract from what was discussed. You'll do best getting everything in writing from the start.
The tables are interesting. They fit the space well, but most of the tables sit 5 people, with some larger tables at the edges with booths. It can make seating challenging.
We believe that as Rosewood continues to gain more experience, these issues will likely be resolved. Overall, we would not have changed much, and we got a lot of compliments on the wedding. -

Amanda Sent on 11/18/2024Rosewood is stunning, they have some incredibly kind staff who helped make our day successful and overall we a truly wonderful day!
The venue itself is gorgeous and I loved all the options for our guests, they could sit out on the patio, near the fireplace, in the bar area or in the reception are. Lots of space outside for the kids to run and it truly made for beautiful wedding photos.
The food was incredible and our guests raved about it as well! Autumn, our wedding coordinator, was by far the most wonderful person to work with. The DJ Stephen was also fun and great to work with. The sound system was exceptional inside and outside. One thing, I'd suggest is for the bartenders or servers not to remove guests drinks if they were unfinished. As the bride, I had more than 2 of my drinks discarded both at the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Obviously busy chatting and walking around to visit guests, I'd put a drink down only to find it gone when I'd return. With the cost of the venue, food and drinks, it was very frustrating and quite a few guests also had their drinks discarded before they were able to finish.
My least favorite part was working with Gretchen, one of the owners. I felt she was unprofessional on more than one occasion dealing with her. I understand she is running a business but in all honesty her biggest concern seems to be the money. She didn't reach out after to see how the wedding went, she only reached out yesterday (two months after) to basically ask for a "Good review" which rubbed me the wrong way. I'd been debating on what to say because of some of those experiences but overall yes it was a beautiful day.
