For over 150 years, Timmer's Resort has sat on the shores of Big Cedar Lake in West Bend, Wisconsin — a classic Wisconsin supper club with some of the best lake views around. The original stone fireplace in our Main Dining Room has warmed guests for generations, while Beryl's Parlor offers its own fireplace and a cozier bar setting for smaller gatherings. We give hosts real flexibility: an intimate rehearsal dinner or shower in Beryl's Parlor, a full seated dinner and dancing in our main event space, or a lakefront celebration across our lawns and patio for something bigger — scaling from a small ceremony to a full-property buyout. Weddings are only part of it. We host milestone parties, showers, celebrations of life, corporate meetings, holiday gatherings, fundraisers, and reunions year-round. Our events team helps you find the right space, guest count, and budget. If you want lake views, historic character, and a team that's done this a long time — come see Timmer's.

Big Cedar Lake is a very important place to my husband’s family, as they have had their family cottage on the lake for decades. When it came time to plan our wedding we couldn’t think of a better place to get married than the lake and Timmer’s Resort was the perfect spot. The restaurant and property is beautiful and the lawn going down to the lake is perfect for an outdoor event. Allison was our event manager at Timmer’s and she was absolutely the best. She was so helpful and thoughtful through the whole planning process and was always available to answer questions or figure something out. She made sure our timeline was so detailed and perfect and it really made such a difference. The Parlor Room was the perfect space for our hair and makeup team and all the girls to get ready, it’s a beautiful space in the restaurant and we even did my first look with the girls in front of the fireplace. Then from our ceremony through cocktail hour and reception, Allison and her team were there and making sure everything went the way it needed to. And we got nothing but compliments from our guests on how good the food and cocktails were! Our wedding was exactly what we dreamed and hoped it would be, we are so grateful to the entire team at Timmer’s!
