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.
