Our entire wedding weekend will take place at Maxwell Mansion in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin — a historic boutique hotel filled with charm and character. We’ve reserved the full property so we can celebrate together in one place!
We’ve reserved all 28 rooms at Maxwell Mansion for our wedding weekend. We're in the process of finalizing room assignments for close friends, family, and members of the wedding party. If we’ve already spoken to you about staying at Maxwell, you’ll be hearing from us soon with details. Once assignments are submitted, you’ll be able to call the hotel directly to confirm your room. If additional rooms become available, we’ll open those up to other guests on a first-come, first-served basis. For everyone else, we’ll also share nearby hotel recommendations on our Travel page.
Yes, Maxwell Mansion has limited onsite parking, and there’s additional public parking nearby just across the street at the venue. Additional details will be provided with parking instructions soon.
Our venue, Maxwell Mansion, has a timeless and elegant charm — think vintage chandeliers, cozy courtyards, and historic architecture. We’re planning an outdoor ceremony (weather permitting), followed by an indoor-outdoor reception. Attire: Garden Party Formal Think dressy, but relaxed and seasonally appropriate. Here’s a little inspiration: For women: Cocktail dresses, flowy midi or maxi dresses, jumpsuits, or stylish two-pieces. Floral prints, soft fabrics, and comfortable heels or flats work beautifully. For men: Suits or dress pants with a blazer. Ties optional, but polished is perfect. Lighter colors and fabrics are encouraged for summer! The ceremony and parts of the reception may take place on grass or gravel, so we recommend comfortable footwear (block heels, wedges, or dressy flats work great). August evenings in Lake Geneva can get a bit breezy, so feel free to bring a light layer just in case. We want you to feel fabulous and comfortable — and most of all, ready to dance and celebrate all night long!
August in Lake Geneva is typically warm during the day and cooler in the evening. Expect highs in the 70s–80s°F, but bring a light layer for nighttime. Portions of the event will take place outdoors, weather permitting.
