The Best Beach & Waterfront Wedding Venues in Wisconsin

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.
