“We knew the minute we walked onto the property that this was the place. From the beautiful scenery to every thoughtful detail in the décor, it is truly nothing short of magical. This is a family-run business, and you can feel that in everything they do. Alyssia was there every step of the way—answering questions, helping with décor, and making sure everything came together. On our wedding day, we had what felt like a tiny 20-minute break in the rain, and she made sure I got out on the dock for the Wedding I had been hoping for. That meant so much to me. Jim and Julie, the owners, are simply the best. The care they put into this property and into the people who stay there is so evident. I cannot recommend this place enough, whether you are planning a wedding or simply looking for an incredible place to get away. Our entire weekend was so special, and I truly wish I could do it all over again.”

“We got married at the Hilton in April 2026. EVERYONE SHOULD GET MARRIED HERE. I was BLOWN AWAY by the package prices and the elegance that was provided for the price?! Unbeatable in the Milwaukee area. The food was well portioned, served like art and delicious. The glassware for the drinks and dinner was beautiful. People left full! The ballroom and additional spaces underwent a renovation this year and when I say it was GORGEOUS, it's an understatement. Our guests said over and over that they had never been to a more elegant and beautiful wedding. And this was our CHEAP option. The way they open the ballroom doors after cocktail hour? People gasped. The wedding coordinator was excellent, you do not need a planner if you use this venue!!! She's that good!!! Plus the benefits of being at the hotel, you may be able to access your spaces early, and leave your decor locked up over night. The ease of access was a huge plus for us and made everything very stress free! The getting ready spaces can be open as early as you need which was another HUGE benefit for us. It was a magical dreamy experience. Do it. Have your fairytale wedding here!!!”
