We had our wedding in June so we were able to have a beautiful ceremony outside. It was perfect! The food was fantastic. We went to two food tastings so we got to pick everything t...hat was offered at our buffet. I was able to decorate how I wanted, I did a DIY, so everything was my own work. We were able to put up globe lighting all over which made for a wonderful scene.
Chris was helpful and very affordable. The place is amazing and far and beyond better than all the other venues we looked at. You didn't have to pay for chairs, tables, bartenders, napkins, etc. Muskego Lakes was half the price of other places we looked at and had a better view and food.
Our only problem had was when it came to the buffet. We were told we would have 2 stations for a buffet. Then a few weeks later he felt we might not need it due to our numbers. We had 220 people. My wedding planner e-mailed Chris a few days before the wedding about the two buffets we were originally promised. He felt we wouldn't need it with the amount of guests, but we did because of the band. We were very restricted on time. We had a band we hired from 6 p.m.-12 a.m. So we didn't have a lot of time to play with. On the day of the wedding, there was only one buffet. We lost 30-45 minutes of music because from the moment the head table got food to the last table got food, it took 45 minutes. Our guests had to wait almost an hour to get dinner! We felt so bad for that. We stressed to Chris that the music was our priority and were on a strict time restraint. The manager of the band tried couple times to get in touch with Chris before the wedding to figure out timeframes, but he didn't get back to him. So I did a lot of middleman work and hoped it would all work out in the end. We were very disappointed that we paid a lot of money for our music and we missed so much of it. We also were told that our slideshow would be played on the bar t.v. because the way the venue is set up, not everyone could see the slideshow. Chris said if we gave him a copy, it would play on loop at the bar. It was not. We are not sure if the bartenders didn't try, but the bartenders told us the dvd player wasn't working.
Overall, it is a great place to have your wedding. Beautiful and affordable. If you have any set ideas of how you want your wedding to go, you have to fight for it. Chris does many weddings each year, and likes them a certain way because it works well for him. We had to tell him how we needed things to go, he wasn't for it, but allowed it. In the end, two buffets like we were promised, would have made our day perfect.
