Fun facts

The resort was founded in 1906!

This Wisconsin resort is easy to get to – less than 2.5 hours from Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago. It’s even easier to get married at, with the romantic Kettle Moraine forest all around and Elkhart Lake just outside. And weddings are certainly included when they call The Osthoff “your place on the lake.”

We can’t think of a better place to make a lifetime commitment than your place on the lake. But if you’re thinking that your place on the lake is a rustic lake cabin, take a look at the wedding facilities at The Osthoff. Now you’re thinking Four Diamond resort hotel, with ballrooms named Villa Gottfried and the Palm Garden and ultra-modern amenities blended into an overall turn-of-the-century style. There’s also a parlor area and the Elk Room, featuring breathtaking lake views and – even for groups of up to 600 – a hint of luxurious intimacy. And a one-, two- or three-bedroom luxury suite awaits each member of your wedding party, complete with fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen or kitchenette and a private balcony to fully enjoy your place on Elkhart Lake.

Highlights

Private spa suites at Aspira, the onsite spa at The Osthoff, are designed to complement nature and the lake.
