Beautiful Northwoods Wedding Venue
Robin and Justin are so wonderful to work with. I love how Robin got just as excited about my wedding as I did. She is a sweetheart and will make sure you and your guests have a great stay. Justin is the GM and will ensure that your food and beverage goes smoothly. Great staff, beautiful grounds, lovely, BIG condos for your guests to stay in. Highly recommend!!! -

Beautiful venue with amazing service.
We really loved our wedding at Wild Eagle Lodge. Robin was a joy to work with... at every step of the way, she was helpful, patient, and on top of everything. Things were so easy and simple, and there were no catches or surprises that caught us off-guard. The venue itself is beautiful, right on the water with great places for pictures all around. We were so happy to have our wedding here and we would highly recommend it to anyone. We couldn't imagine a more perfect place to share our love with our family and friends. -

Amazing Lakefront Wedding Venue
My husband and I took a leap of faith and booked the Wild Eagle Lodge in Eagle River, WI for our wedding reception before even setting foot on the grounds!
We knew we wanted a Summer destination wedding in Eagle River and did a lot of research online to make our final decision. What really helped us choose the Lodge and be comfortable and confident in our decision was talking at length over the phone with the wedding coordinator, Robin Nikolaus. She is extremely knowledgable about wedding planning and went above and beyond to make our special day better than we could have imagined. She truly is one of the kindest and friendliest people we have ever met. Robin and the rest of the Wild Eagle staff went above and beyond to gain a solid idea of our vision and made it a reality.
When we finally made it to the Wild Eagle Lodge and walked around the lakefront, woodsy property a couple weeks before our big day we were completely blown away! The pictures we saw online were beautiful, however the actual property greatly surpassed our expectations.
The rooms were spacious and comfortable - all of our guests were extremely satisfied and raved about the accommodations and venue. Everything was well maintained and you couldn't dream of a nicer, more helpful team that went out of their way to help in any way possible.
On our wedding day everything went smoothly due to Robin and staff's excellent relationships with the vendors and her unrivaled attention to detail.
We would absolutely recommend Wild Eagle Lodge a thousand times over to couples who want a beautiful natural lakeside setting, nestled in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
Thank you Wild Eagle Lodge!

An AMAZING Northwoods Wedding
We could not have imagined a better time at WEL. The event coordinator, Robin, was the most helpful and generous person we could have asked for and helped us with our first questions about the venue one year before our wedding up through the planning and rehearsal dinner right up until moments before I walked down the aisle and then into the evening.
The lodge itself is beautiful and convenient beyond words. We stayed the night before the wedding, our wedding night, and the entire day/night after the wedding just to try and enjoy some of the other amazing things the lodge has to offer. We were more than satisfied and plan on going back every year to revisit our new special place! -

Amazing Wedding Venue!
Wild Eagle Lodge was such a perfect venue for our wedding! It was beautiful scenery and so welcoming to all of our guests. The lodge itself was amazing - the rooms were spacious and so many guests commented that they wanted to come back for future summer vacations. Robin was so wonderful to work with and was so responsive with every little question we had. One downfall was that we were required to work with one tent vendor, which was a little more expensive than others in the area. However, they knew the area, worked well with everyone, and were very quick with set up. I wish I could get married there again! -

One of a kind!
My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Eagle River. When looking at our options there was no one that compared to Wild Eagle, especially Robin - the Events Coordinator. I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff here. Robin, especially, made the entire process so incredibly fun! Matt and I feel like family and cannot wait to return! There is already talks of people wanting to do our family reunions up north because everyone had such an amazing time at our wedding! Thank you so much Robin and the entire staff at Wild Eagle lodge for making our wedding weekend the best of our lives! -

AMAZING experience! The team at Wild Eagle Lodge was simply outstanding. So helpful, kind, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure not only my wedding day, but my rehearsal dinner, was top notch. We had rain on our rehearsal dinner night which forced us to move our dinner inside and the team at Wild Eagle could not have been more helpful in setting things up and making things run smoothly after a rocky start. They also were there every step of the way on my wedding day to make sure that everything went off without a hitch! I even caught a glimpse of Robin (my wedding coordinator) watching me walk down the aisle! I would recommend them 100x over and can't wait to go back to Wild Eagle Lodge to relive that special day over and over again! -

Our choice to have our wedding at Wild Eagle Lodge was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Robin, the on-site wedding coordinator, was instrumental in helping us make good decisions throughout the planning process, kept us on track, and helped make the day a success with an untold number of behind-the-scenes moves. Blue Heron, the on-site restaurant, was incredibly helpful as well, from letting us store desserts we brought from Minnesota to being fantastically friendly hosts of our cocktail bar. Jean and Brittany of Blue Heron made this happen, with excellent advice and guidance that made our guests feel taken care of.
And the resort itself is divine. Our ceremony site was utterly beautiful -- a peaceful sanctuary shrouded by fall colors, a soft breeze rustling the most beautiful pines and birch trees, and a blue sky ocean. Our family and friends staying in the lodge condos with us remarked on how gorgeous they were -- a few of our relatives tossed up the idea of purchasing retirement homes there. The grounds were impeccable and constantly maintained. The condos were plush, warmly decorated, and stocked with every imaginable kitchen and bathroom supply.
We could go on and on -- about the vacation toys available to borrow and rent, about the stunning lake, about everything Robin did to make our wedding day perfect. Choosing Wild Eagle Lodge is the single best choice we made. -

From beginning to end, Robin and Jean were happy, helpful, knowledgeable, and organized. During our initial consultation, Robin let us know what to expect and plan for and Jean had many different food options and price points to choose from. We had a rehearsal cookout by the water which led to s'mores and laughs by the fire. The day of our wedding, members of our party rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed navigating the many lakes on the chain. Our guests were very impressed with all of the amenities on the resort grounds including free kayak rentals, an indoor swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, and a sandy beach. Our ceremony was outside in early June, so we were prepared for any kind of weather. As luck would have it, we had plenty of sun and a temperature in the 70's. After the ceremony, Jean had appetizers prepared for our guests as we took wedding pictures. Our reception was held inside the Blue Heron dining hall and it was the perfect size for our near 100 guests. The food was delicious (highly recommend the Walleye)! And the kitchen and staff ran like a well-oiled machine. The party continued until mid-night at which point we had another fire and more laughs. It could not have been more perfect or stress-free. If we could do it all over again, we would in a heartbeat. -

We got married at Wild Eagle Lodge. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception there. Most of our guests also stayed at the resort. I cannot even begin to guess how many people told me what a wonderful resort it was. It is a beautiful setting, the condos are wonderful, and the staff goes above and beyond every time! We were faced with a lot (and I mean a lot) of rain. We had to change plans several times. The staff (especially Robin, the events coordinator) really went above and beyond time and time again. They helped us with back up plans and made sure everything went smoothly. They kept us calm and talked to our vendors so that we wouldn't get more stressed. Robin always had a smile and a hug for me which really helped in the moments where things were getting stressful. The lodge provided everything we and our guests needed throughout the weekend and during the planning process. Robin was always quick to respond and had answers for all of our questions. We definitely will be back! -

Robin is absolutely incredible! We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and all of our guests stay at this lodge. Robin was so amazing and very attentive. She completely understands what it takes to plan a wedding and was more than I could ask for. I was actually planning my wedding from Texas and we communicated completely via email. She is quick to respond and has all the answers!
The lodge is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms were such a great deal! We were able to have our wedding during the off-season, which really saved some bucks. Everything was so great and just as I imagined it would be! Thank you for everything!-

When we first met with Robin at Wild Eagle Lodge we knew right away that was our venue for our wedding! Aside from the beautiful resort and water front property Robin was great to work with. She was extremely responsive throughout the planning of our wedding and provided great recommendations for all of our vendors! Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be thanks to Robin and all of her help and support. Our guests had a great time and many are planning to return to visit. We can't thank Robin enough for all of her help in planning our perfect wedding day!!! Jean at the Blue Herring at Wild Eagle Lodge was great to work with as well. We had an impromptu pizza dinner a few days before the wedding and an after wedding brunch that worked out perfectly. She was extremely responsive which made it easy to work out all the details! We will definitely be returning to Wild Eagle Lodge in the years to come!!! -

We also went back that week for our Honeymoon and it was wonderful! We will be back a lot more :) -

Robin, Jean and the staff at Wild Eagle Lodge were amazing! As soon as my fiance and I entered the driveway at Wild Eagle Lodge we felt this wave of calming energy and beauty. The property is extremely well cared for and meticulously groomed. The event coordinator Robin took time on her day off to sit down with my fiance and I to explain what services they offer and to give us a tour of the property. Right away you can tell that Robin is passionate about what she does and truly does it because she LOVES it! My fiance and I booked Wild Eagle Lodge the very day we saw it. There fall dates book up fast so this is not a venue to sit on- book it early! We chose to get married on the last weekend in September. The property has a beautiful shoreline and lush greenery. The trees were just starting to really pop on our wedding day so our pictures are stunning!
Robin kept me on track throughout the whole planning process. She reminded me of things I didn't even think of! She made sure I had all my T's crossed and I's dotted before our big day. Robin is truly one of the sweetest most genuine people you will ever meet.
Now, lets talk food and beverage. Jean, who manages the food and beverage side of Wild Eagle Lodge is also fantastic and sweet as pie!! We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Wild Eagle Lodge and had our wedding cupcakes made from their baker. Our rehearsal dinner was delicious! Jean really helped us to tailor our dinner experience to exactly what we wanted. The meal was fantastic and the staff was energetic and polite. I had originally planned to go with a different baker for our cupcakes trying to cut cost a little bit but I am so happy I changed my mind! Jean held a little cupcake tasting for me, my mother and future MIL. I was very impressed by the extensive list of flavors to choose from as well as the cupcake presentation. The cupcakes flew off the dessert table! -

Think first if you like planning and the fine details. At Wild Eagle, you have to use outside vendors for things like the tent, food, DJ, etc. We LOVED this idea as we were able to hand pick every single thing for our wedding, making it seriously everything we ever wanted! Robin (who is amazing) is the event coordinator and sends reminders and kind notes in order to ensure you are not forgetting anything! She ensures that everything is what you want and on the day of, is a tremendous help! I would do everything all over again <3 Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was including the rooms and our event!!!! I absolutely loved our perfect day here. -

We originally booked this venue for our wedding and worked with Robin, the wonderfully supportive and kind event manager, for a few months before having to cancel for personal reasons. We were thrilled with the supportive and professional staff that we worked with on room blocks, getting advice on local vendors, and following up re: next steps. They were also incredibly gracious and understanding when we needed to cancel our venue reservation. Although we did not end up having our event here, we had a wonderful experience working with the team and look forward to visiting in the future! -

We could not have asked for a better group of people to work with in planning our wedding! Being all the way from Chicago we didn't have the luxury of visiting our venue 3 times a week if we wanted haha but Robin, the wedding coordinator, was amazing! From the day we stepped into Wild Eagle for our tour to the day we said "I do" Robin was so helpful!!! Not only was she helpful but she was always soooo excited for us; she made me feel like she was part of my family, that's how happy she was. Our wedding was late October so we held our small reception (about 90 people) in the Blue Heron restaurant. Jean is the manager and she was so amazing! Our wedding was the night after her birthday and she shortened a plan vacation to be there managing our wedding. And I cannot say enough about the chef at the Blue Heron because the food was absolutely amazing...not just from me but my entire reception people kept telling me how awesome the food was!!! Thank you all so much for everything you did to make this the most memorable day ever! I highly recommend you check this place out...I guarantee the excitement in Robin's eyes when she meets you for the first time will sell you just like it sold me and my husband. -

Wild Eagle Lodge was the ultimate perfect venue for our wedding! We knew the instant we stepped on the grounds, that it was exactly what we were looking for. Then we met with Robin, our Coordinator, and she made the experience that much more exciting! Robin sincerely cares about making your wedding the best it can possibly be. She genuinely cares about your wedding as much as you do, and she is with you every step of the way for questions and recommendations. We would also like to mention the on-site restaurant manager, Jean, who was extremely helpful in assisting with many other important details such as our rehearsal dinner, dessert, alcohol, etc. If something was important to us, Jean would make it happen. The day of our wedding, Robin made sure everything fell into place and ran smoothly. Later in the evening, we had a strong storm come through and lost power. We were able to go into the Blue Heron Restaurant where Jean made sure that all of our guest's needs were met. Our first dance was sung acoustically around fairy lit jars and the moment was magical. No one expected the events that occurred, but the staff at Wild Eagle made sure our wedding was far from over. We can never thank everyone enough for accommodating my husband and I as well as our guests, who gave us endless feedback on the beautiful resort and lodges. Our wedding was everything that we had envisioned, despite the weather complications...which actually turned into a night we'll never forget! -

The event planner made the whole process fun. She answered all my questions promptly before hand, was on site each day making sure the details were in place and everything running smoothly, and was genuinely excited and helpful (not just because it's her job, but because it's her fun personality). We hosted a rehearsal dinner grill out there which I'd recommend to anyone. Our wedding lunch was at the Blue Heron Restaurant on site which had delicious food that everyone enjoyed. They were accommodating and helpful . . . We couldn't have had a better experience! -

I could not recommend Wild Eagle lodge enough. We had an amazing fall wedding there last weekend. Robin, the wedding coordinator, was amazing. She was just a joy to work with and really wants to do whatever she can to make your day special. She works with you beginning to end- can answer all your questions, is responsive and has great references for other vendors (DJ, flowers, etc). We not only had a destination wedding here- but our guests came from all over the US to join us. To say they were impressed with the venue,-the grounds, the amenities, the food, the cleanliness of rooms, down to every last detail- would be an understatement. We had a bonfire "rehearsal dinner" the night before- which our guests LOVED. Then we were lucky to be blessed with a beautiful October day with weather and leaves peaking- and had our ceremony outdoors.... it was magic. The food, the desserts, the breakfast the day after the wedding- all fantastic! Robin, Jean (kitchen), and all their staff were on point and a joy to work with. They all take the stress from the wedding away- and leave you to enjoy your guests, the grounds, and being a bride/groom! Highly recommend!!! We will be back. -

This is by far the BEST wedding venue you could ever pick! Robin, the wedding coordinator, was AMAZING to work with. She was extremely helpful and so positive throughout the entire wedding process. Not to mention the cost was extremely reasonable for the ceremony and reception. I also loved that Robin suggested vendors that she not only works with, but who she trusts and believes will do a great job for the bride. I have to agree that all of her suggestions did a great job. Lastly, the actual venue is beyond words beautiful. We had a fall wedding and were blessed with perfect weather, but in general the grounds and nature are breathtaking. To anyone who is looking for a tremendous wedding venue, this is the place for you. -

We would highly recommend Wild Eagle Lodge! We loved everything about having our wedding there and so did our guests. To start, the wedding coordinator, Robin, is AMAZING! She is enthusiastic, responsive, professional...the list goes on and on. We lived 4 hours away from Wild Eagle Lodge so we made a few trips up there to coordinate and meet with vendors but the majority of our communication was done via phone and email. Robin answered all of of our questions immediately, made great suggestions, etc... As far as the venue itself, it was perfect. We had about a 200 person wedding and most people stayed the entire weekend at the resort. We have had so many of our guest say so many positive things about Wild Eagle Lodge and that several of them want to visit the resort again in the future. Thank you Robin and thank you Wild Eagle Lodge...everything was perfect! -

This review is primarily about Wild Eagle Lodges wedding coordinator Robin and the assistance she provided!
We could not have completed our wedding without her! Robins enthusiasm for her job is infectious, and her love of weddings and brides (that even I didn’t have as a bride!) makes for an exceptional experience. At every step of the way we were always confident in going to her with questions and for recommendations. Planning a wedding from a distance is very difficult and Robin always reassured us that everything would be ok! She was realistic about what we technically needed and what would be preferable. For example, with the number of guests we were recommended to have a 40x60 tent, but Robin suggested we upgrade to a slightly larger one, 40x80, to make the space seem more comfortable. And she was exactly right! The space felt open, airy, and even though it was hot because of all the dancing, everyone was comfortable!
We have a lot of trust in Robin, and she has trust in her venders, which in turn made the entire experience much more enjoyable.
Jean at the Blue Heron Restaurant also deserves an honorable mention! She coordinated drinks for us for a barbecue on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and an entire brunch on Sunday. While there was a slight hiccup with alcohol acquisition, she did everything she could to solve the problem. You can never avoid problems, particularly with weddings, and Jean handled the corrections with such care that it is commendable! She was always open and clear about the situation, and we are very grateful for all of her help.
If you are planning an Eagle River wedding, Wild Eagle Lodge is the place to do it!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Wild Eagle Lodge. All of our guests said it's the best wedding they have ever been to. It was a local destination for us coming from the Appleton Area and most of our family/friends made it a long weekend/vacation. Robin, our wedding coordinator was OUTSTANDING she will make sure you are taken care of in every way and stayed on top of the planning and details better than myself. We stayed on the resort grounds for our pictures and love how they turned out. We have ones on the docks, on the beach, and along the woods and trails. I would not change a thing about our day and highly recommend this Venue. We had a touch of nature in everything we did and this was the perfect place to give it a beautiful, north woods feel. -

Having our wedding at the Wild Eagle Lodge was everything we could have hoped for. Robin, the on-site coordinator, went above and beyond in helping plan our up north destination wedding. From helping the months in advance in contacting vendors and giving us recommendations to the week and day of making sure everything went smoothly, Robin was AMAZING. She made us feel comfortable the whole time planning our wedding from four hours away. The grounds were well maintained and all was taken care of better than expected. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great wedding. It is truly a beautiful site for a wedding. Our guests still talk about how much they loved our wedding weekend! Thank you Wild Eagle Lodge. Kristin and Nick -

There is no better option for the Northwoods area! We are from Chicago and go fishing in Wisconsin every summer. When it came to planning our wedding, the location was easy to pick but we had a lot of options. After spending a 4-day weekend up north examining all of the venue options out there, Wild Eagle was easily on the top of our list. Their prices are extremely reasonable and their personalized service was incomparable.
Well, we are forever grateful that we picked the right spot. We had family members, children, city-folk, and country-folk, and each of them felt right at home at Wild Eagle Lodge. Tammy, the special events coordinator, is clearly top in her field! Most of our planning had to occur over email and phone calls, and she was consistently responsive and extremely helpful, often extending her help way beyond the expected.
For that once-in-a-lifetime experience, you can't do better than Wild Eagle Lodge!

The entire experience at Wild Eagle Lodge was great! We had an outdoor lakeside wedding ceremony and a picnic rehearsal the day before. We are lucky the weather held out! We also did a tent reception with catering and a DJ. The tent wasn't lakeside, but it was nice and big so we had plenty of room. We got a complimentary whirlpool condo on our wedding night and our guests had the option to stay at the resort or stay at a cheaper hotel down the road.
Overall a nice experience and a lot of my family made a long weekend out of it! -

This is the perfect setting for a beautiful fall Northwoods wedding weekend. It is the perfect mix of a rustic outdoorsy feel with all the modern amenities in the guest condos. Deb, the wedding coordinator, did a tremendous job period! She was energetic, organized, communicative and friendly. She helped plan everything from our rehearsal dinner and campfire friday evening to the goodbye breakfast gathering sunday morning. She made the wedding day run smoothly and coordinated wonderfly with all of our vendors. Also, her husband Bob the bartender is a riot. The guests really enjoyed him at our onsite reception! -

Our lakeside wedding was absolutely perfect at Wild Eagle Lodge! The staff took care of all the small details, and the coordination between them and outside vendors (flowers,dj,caterer) was amazing. Our wedding day was perfect, and we could not of asked for more. -

Wonderful Place to Get Married
Our wedding at Wild Eagle was absolutely perfect. I felt like I had so many questions for Robin, but she always responded to them quickly and happily. Since our wedding was in 2020, we obviously had some unforeseen circumstances to deal with, but Wild Eagle was very willing to work with us while also taking the safety of our guests into consideration.
So many of our guests told us how wonderful of a venue it was. They loved how much space they had in all the rooms, and loved the amenities that Wild Eagle had to offer. Our wedding was in September so the colors were absolutely gorgeous. All in all, it was just a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend to anyone. -

The Wild Eagle Lodge is not only a beautiful, upscale venue for your event; it has a staff that is top notch and organized! They were so flexible and professional throughout my wedding weekend, even on a rainy day! If you want a unique, cozy atmosphere for your event this is the place! There was so much to do at the resort, my only regret is that I wished my celebration could have gone on even longer to fit in all I wanted to do! -

I would highly recommend the Wild Eagle for your wedding venue. Robin was awesome and kept us on track for every single detail, reminding us when and what needed to be done. She recommended vendors from the area for us since we are not from Eagle River, which was appreciated. The wedding went off without any issues, it was beautiful and I would do it all over again, the same way. -

It was a beautiful place to have a wedding, however on my date there was another wedding on the grounds which was much larger than mine, the atmosphere felt a little over scheduled. They did do their best to help us with a last minute emergency (it started pouring rain for my outside ceremony). Overall, I think the area/resort is a beautiful place to have a wedding and I would do it there again. -

The only problem we had with Wild Eagle was that our wedding planner left the position for another and we had to work with someone new. She did a fine job, but the previous planner was a little more informed of our situation. -

Disappointed
I was so excited to get married at Wild Eagle Lodge being a long time Eagle River vacationer but unfortunately it did not go as planned. Prior to our wedding the wedding coordinator retired so we started working with the General Manager which I believe made all the difference. The weekend of, we did not hear from the GM at all. On the morning of set up, the staff sat at a table and said they had to finish breakfast before assisting in setting up the tables and chairs....at 10AM which was the time we were told we could set up. My friend ended up vacuuming because the floor wasn’t clean. We had two bartenders and one informed our guests throughout the night where we were at with our tab which was not his place to do. Shots were given out when they were not on our contract, which in turn increased our tab tremendously. We shared the frustrations with the GM after the wedding but not much was done to remedy the situation. -
