Beautiful Wedding Reception

What a fantastic experience working with The Cargill Room!!! Our daughter's wedding was nothing short of amazing. Jessica Robey is wonderful to work with and takes such good care of her clients. We had a large group of people from the Minneapolis area that were attending. With the amazing scenery, and the amazing menu items, I think the "big city" people were dazzled!!! Thanks so much to Jessica and her entire staff!!

We cannot say enough positive things about the Waterfront! We were planning our La Crosse wedding from our home in New York, and we knew we needed to work with a venue that would be able to handle the details and communicate with us effectively. We are so thrilled that we decided to work with the Waterfront. Through out the entire planning process the Waterfront impressed us with their professionalism, attention to detail and warm approach to service. We were lucky enough to work with Jessica Robey. She is amazing! She worked with our schedules (when we were in town) to provide a spectacular tasting, and she was always quick to respond to our e-mails and phone calls. When the wedding day finally arrived, all the details were taken care of! The food was amazing and Jessica made sure the day went smoothly. If you are looking to plan a wedding in La Crosse, the Waterfront is THE place to book!

We worked with Jessica Robey and she was exceptional with the care of our daughter's wedding. She was professional, organized, knowledgeable, friendly, available, calm, and always up front on pricing. She made us feel special and that our wedding was her first priority. The service at the Waterfront Cargill Room was great, food delicious, beautiful environment and fun. I would highly recommend The Waterfront and Jessica Robey. Thank you!!!
