We literally could not have chosen a better wedding venue than the Grand Geneva!! From the start, the planning process was seamless and stress-free. Wedding planning can feel dau...nting, but knowing that GG was handling the venue, catering, cake, bar service, rentals, transportation, rehearsal dinner, and hotel accommodations gave us peace of mind (it was very convenient to have all of this under 1 roof instead of spread amongst different vendors). We selected a package that fit our needs, and the team truly took it from there.
One of the highlights of planning with GG was their large wedding showcase. It was an amazing event where couples could sample butler-passed appetizers, signature cocktails, and wine pairings, while also enjoying a full dinner tasting. This made our menu selections so much easier, and it was super fun!! The showcase also featured beautifully staged table settings, allowing us to see the different linens, napkins, chargers, and chairs in person, as well as view work from local florists and rental companies. We felt this event was such a thoughtful touch and one of our favorite parts of the planning process.
Our event manager, Haley Bartz, deserves special recognition. She was AMAZING - so positive, organized, professional, and always went above and beyond. Her experience and know how were evident every step of the way, and she was truly dedicated to making sure our day was everything we envisioned.
Our venue at the GG was the Mountain Top Chalet, which is used for skiing in the winter and converted to weddings in the summer. When we arrived to setup for the wedding, the building was in rough condition, which was unexpected given the price point and overall elegance of the resort. HOWEVER, once we raised concerns, a team was quickly coordinated to clean, paint, and repair the space - by the next day, it had been completely refreshed. We are so grateful for Haley's responsiveness and the hard work of the staff at GG. That said, we would recommend the resort consider maintaining the chalet year-round so that it matches the high standards of the main property. We might also suggest providing golf carts to couples on their wedding day - it was a lot of running for our wedding planner, and not having quick transportation made moving between photo locations a challenge. Offering golf cart transportation would add an extra level of convenience and care.
Aside from those small areas of feedback, everything else was truly outstanding. The staff at GG was phenomenal across the board - from the bellhop helping with our luggage, to the front desk staff storing our flowers, to the trolley driver shuttling guests, to housekeeping preparing our suites, and even maintenance handling last minute needs. Every team member we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their role - which is so rare and awesome to see!
Our guests are still raving about the resort - from the spa and pool to the breakfast buffet and stunning views. Many of our guests traveled from afar and were able to make a beautiful vacation out of their trip. We feel incredibly blessed to have celebrated our wedding at the Grand Geneva and to have worked with Haley, who truly made our day unforgettable and was our biggest supporter throughout the planning process (the BEST teammate you could ask for). For couples seeking a venue with beautiful grounds, exceptional service, and a comprehensive planning process, we wholeheartedly recommend Grand Geneva Resort & Spa.
