We got married here end of April 2023 and it was a great experience! Western Lakes is an affordable option compared to other venues in the area. They provided linens, did the room flip, and helped coordinate day of. They also have drinks and food in house which made the planning process so smooth! Not to mention our guest were raving about the food. We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony but due to Wisconsin weather we had it inside. The large windows still provided an amazing feel for an indoor ceremony. The lower level provided a place for guests to go during cocktail hour and allow the room flip to occur upstairs without hinderance. The large trees on the golf course and the gazebo provided AMAZING backdrops to our photos. Would highly recommend this venue. Reviewed on 14-12-2023

I am so glad we choose Western Lakes for our wedding in April 2023! They were so accommodating with our wishes for food, logistics, and timeline. They were very easy to get ahold of, very communicative and always willing to help. The food was delicious and we got so much food and drinknfor the price we paid. Our day was absolutely perfect because of them! Reviewed on 14-12-2023

Western Lakes was a great spot for our wedding. I always wanted to get married at a beautiful outdoor gazebo, but what made me choose western lakes was the fast the indoor back up option was just as beautiful with the floor to ceiling windows over looking the golf course. The balcony was also a great spot for guests to take a break from the dance floor and get some air. Also really enjoyed the bridal suite for getting ready so all my bridesmaids would already be at the venue and ready for photos when hair and make up was finished. We were also able to order food to the suite so we could have lunch before the ceremony. Sazs catering is also an amazing plus because all of the food options are so good, the cheddar chive mashed potatoes were a huge hit. We had the festival favorites late night food and it was delicious. Michelle was very helpful every step of the way in our planing process and the day went so smoothly. I would certainly recommend this venue to others for their wedding. Reviewed on 30-09-2023

We had an excellent experience. Michelle, who helped coordinate our wedding, was awesome to work with. Great food and beautiful venue. Having the dance floor, bar, and bathrooms within 50 feet of each other made for a fun night. We would definitely recommend this venue. Reviewed on 21-09-2023

9/9/23: If staffing and service level is important to you (as it should be) look no farther than western lakes/saz’s! The food was incredible, the staff moved quick, and kept a very nice flow. Our guests never got antsy. Working with Jaime and Michelle was a breeze as well! We had originally booked at silver spring golf course and backed out with only 6 months to spare due to my gut feelings that it would not run very smoothly or be adequately staffed. Lo and behold found out their chef quit a week before our wedding date so I am beyond thrilled with my decision to make the switch! Our guests all complimented the level of service, food, and attention to detail. We had the ceremony outside which was beautiful and the reception inside. It’s a very modern atmosphere that really needs minimal decorating. A lot of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve been to in a long time and the party of the year! Reviewed on 12-09-2023

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with western lakes. We had both our ceremony and reception here and from the very beginning when we toured through the day of, the help and support from the staff was incredible. The food was unbelievable - we received several comments from guests about how great it all was. Michelle was knowledgeable, responsive and kind- we really loved working with her. The ceremony in front of the gazebo was beautiful too. Sazs/Western Lakes made our day PERFECT! We are so thankful. Reviewed on 01-09-2023

Little did I know what these wonderful people would do for us. First of all, Amber and Michelle are absolutely wonderful. From the initial meet to the final product and meal, I cried and still am. The food was hands down the best food I have ever had and our guests could not agree more. I still am getting messages about how wonderful the food and venue was. I never thought my wedding would be as perfect as this. But perfect is an understatement for what myself, my husband, and ALL of our guests felt. From set up to tear down, I constantly thanked the staff. It was 3 days ago already and I want to repeat the day. This venue was accommodating and flexible with EVERYTHING. If you are looking for a place, PLEASE book here. My heart is so unbelievably full. I hope we will be able to book here again for an event, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Reviewed on 03-05-2022

Michelle, Joe, and Jason were flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process, ensured our day went smoothly, and brought our vision for this celebration to life! It really meant a lot to us that everything went so well on Saturday especially after having to delay our wedding celebration in 2020. All the staff we interacted with at the venue were excellent and we could tell they cared about the success of our event. Western Lakes helped us create many memories this weekend that we will cherish for a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend Western Lakes/Saz's Catering in a heartbeat! Reviewed on 21-09-2021

Daniel Grossmeyer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2021 Like many of couples, our reception was put on hold for a year. In our opinion it was a blessing in disguise. We had chose another venue previously but since it was not operating we looked to Western Lakes. I had previously attended a wedding there and loved the set up, panoramic view of the golf course with a great little balcony when you need a little fresh air. As a long time service industry employee the first thing on my mind is the quality of food. I was surprised that the food was Saz’s, didn’t even know they did catering. That’s a great pedigree. I’ve been to enough weddings where the food was overpriced, terrible, and you sit in a dark and gloomy wedding hall. Not the case if you go to Western Lakes. Joe was amazing, he knows the stress of putting on a reception and he literally does all the work for you. With all the crazy variables you have to deal with on your big day, this won’t be one. Joe will take care of everything you need. The place is beautiful the service, food, and setup is amazing. My wife and I feel so blessed the other place didn’t work out for us. Reviewed on 19-07-2021

The food was absolutely delicious and all of the staff was amazing to work with! Saz’s not only provided the food (appetizers for cocktail hour, dinner and late night pizza) they also provided the linens as well. And the purple napkins matched our colors perfectly.

Joe jumped through every hoop we threw at him to make our vow renewal and reception come off perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to hold our event! Joe and his staff had every detail taken care of, from start to finish.

We have both been to weddings where the food has been not so great and wanted to find a caterer that our guests wouldn’t consider it “wedding food.” We found that in Saz’s. Weeks later our guests still won’t stop talking about the food. We even had some say it was the best wedding food they have ever had.

Our last point of contact, Michelle took very good care of us before and after the wedding(I sometimes felt our emails were text conversations because of how fast we were both replying to each other). But the food was amazing(shout out to the server who after I joked about my own bowl of cheddar potatoes, she gave me my own to-go container - I cried tears of happiness). And the staff were great to work with. Just watch what is and isn't included on your open bar if you are having one - that was really our only issue and Michelle took care of it.

We LOVED them but ended up going in a different direction for the actual wedding venue. When it came time at our new venue to find our catering company my husband was very adamant about wanting something special…a pasta bar! We then found out that Chris and Sara did outside catering for other lake country venues and we could have them! We met with them and they didn’t have the pasta bar on the menu but they custom made one just to fit our dreams. They were VERY responsive and kind throughout the entire process. They always made us feel at ease when dealing with stressful wedding planning things (even about things that didn’t deal with our food). I’m not quite sure how they have it down so well because they are incredibly busy, but they are such a great team with an amazing staff and not to mention, the food was PHENOMENAL…all the guests were raving about the quality of the food (even the late night pizza 😉 ) Hands down we would choose them over and over to cater our wedding. 11/10!

We knew the second we walked in and met with co-owner and catering manager, Chris, that we would have our wedding there. The way the team there structure everything is top notch, and they were all actively engaged in making our wedding spectacular. Coordinator Sara even responded to one of my (many) emails with questions while on a beach vacation, which was above and beyond the call of duty. The team even put out all of my signage, set out the place cards, and strung lights on the balcony that morning, so we didn't have to do a thing.

The biggest compliant we had was that the entry way and the hall below ours was getting painted that morning! So when we arrived the building smelled of paint fumes. To help, doors were all opened to help \"air\" out the rooms but then it was very cold. By dinner time the smell had gone away but we were upset about it and hadn't received any apologies even after complaints were made to the manager on staff that night.

I had my wedding at Western Lakes this past summer and everything was perfect. Chris & Sara were great to work with and always were quick to answer any questions I had.

knottied85a40dfcb95a7a9 (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-12-2018 Sara and Chris were absolutely amazing! Most of my communication was through Sara, and she was very prompt and organized in responding to all of my emails and questions. Sara and Chris were there since day one and truly care about you and your preferences/wishes. They did a fabulous job setting everything up; they didn't miss anything! They also helped to clean up and take down decorations at the end of the night. Western Lakes is a beautiful venue overlooking the golf course! It's spacious, yet cozy for a more intimate wedding. I love that the bar and the dance floor are right next to each other... Perfect planning! The food from Saz's was TO DIE FOR! It was very warm (we had a buffet style dinner) and there was plenty for guests to have seconds. Sara from Western Lakes also now offers decorations, table numbers, table runners, wood slabs, arches, and other miscellaneous items to rent, rather than buying your own and wasting money on items you will most likely never use again! It saved me a lot of time and money being able to rent decorations from Sara! Overall, our wedding was beautiful and I highly recommend Western Lakes and Saz's.

I had a great time wedding planning with this group and really appreciated being able to enjoy my wedding day without the added stress of coordinating the event day-of, cleaning up immediately following the reception, etc. Although it poured on our wedding day, Western Lakes was very flexible and helped create an intimate area for the ceremony. The space lent itself to a social and fun reception- plenty of space for all the needs of my guests. I looked at many event spaces before choosing Western Lakes and I do not have any regrets about my decision. I would highly recommend this location to any brides and grooms to be without hesitation!

Kristin Zutavern(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-10-2015 Saz's and Western Lakes was the perfect combination for us for our big day!\r\rFirst, the people that we worked with (mostly Sarah and Chris) were wonderful throughout the whole process! We went to the venue and spoke with them multiple times (our first tour, seeing the venue set up for a wedding, coming back to see how to decorate, setting up before the day, etc.). They were very open and easy to get a hold of with questions. We emailed back and forth many times to help set up the details for our wedding. When it got closer to the date, they helped direct us to what had to be done and when. They were very laid back and calmed everyone's nerves. A few days before hand we were able to come in with our decorations for them to decorate the hall. It was so nice that they decorated everything for us (it was a huge bonus and one less thing to stress about) and it looked beautiful! The day of, they had set up space for the ceremony inside and outside because we didn't know whether it was going to rain or not (but Chris told us he wasn't going to let it rain and it didn't! ;)). Finally, at the end of the night, the staff there took all of the decorations off the table and put it in one spot for us to pick up THE NEXT DAY. Being able to leave everything over night was so nice!\r\rSecond, the food was delicious! For the appetizers we had to have the famous bbq riblets! We also had deviled eggs and bacon wrapped water chestnuts. For our main course, we had the pork mignon and chicken cordon bleu with red roast potatoes, grilled veggies, and fruit. And at the end of the night our late night fare was their mozzarella sticks and chive fries! Throughout the night everyone told me that they loved the riblets! I'm still hearing people rave about how much they loved all of the food! The riblets, pork mignon, chicken cordon blue, and mozz sticks were everyone's favorite and it was nice having something after dancing for a while.\r\rThird, the hall itself was gorgeous. I had looked at many venues and was about to settle at a hotel until I found Western Lakes Golf Club. My favorite part about the hall are the windows. The backdrop looks gorgeous because you look right out onto the course grounds. I am so happy that we got to see outside because most of the hotel venues I saw had no windows at all. They also had a nice set up with two dance floors and a nice big bar!\r\rOverall, we were very pleased with Saz's at Western Lakes as our venue because the people we worked with there went out of their way to help us with our event, the food was amazing, and the hall was beautiful.

The only problems I had with them, were some some details that didn't fall into place day of and required my mom/bridesmainds having to track down the wedding coordinator to fix.And if you have a crowd that likes to drink, go with the drink packages, we went ala cart and spent more than if we had gone with a package.

Anonymous (groom)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-11-2016 I want to first start off by saying that the party we threw was the best and happiest day of our life. Unfortunately, we had to deal with some issues along the way!!!\r\rChris (Saz's) - Talk is cheap. It would be wise to get everything in writing. Chris indicated that it wouldn't be a big deal if we brought a cooler to the rehearsal. This was untrue. Not sure who dropped the ball here? Western Lakes staff confiscated the cooler from my friend and we were not allowed to drink its contents while we were there (it seemed weird that we would be able to seeing that WL has a bar...but Chris indicated that it wouldn't be a problem). We did get the cooler back. Note: The staff said this happens all the time and usually the owner takes the cooler and keeps it. Seems like this wasn't the only time this promise was made....\r\rWestern Lakes Management - Very helpful on giving us options and was willing to work with us (keg choices/drink mixers)! We bought a keg to consume before and after the beverage package. Unfortunately we were not allowed to drink said keg after the beverage package and were told by the bartenders that they were breaking down the bar. Was recently given an update by management, that the keg was gone. If this was the case we should have been told.\r\rWestern Lakes Management - We were told taking pictures on the course would be limited due to safety - by Saz's. We understand that aspect. Unfortunately the ground rules were not laid out the day of creating a lot of uncertainty which caused unnecessary events. For example, an employee almost cut off my wife during the unveiling! It was supposed to be a surprise. My best man had to step in and yell at the individual(so the individial wouldn't interrupt one of the most important parts of the day).\r\rWestern Lakes Staff - Other than the cooler incident, I left a golf polo with the back bar the day of my wedding. Was told it would be available in the event that I wanted to wear it. The next day it was gone and nowhere to be found. We followed up numerous times with Sara and it never came up.\r\rBartenders - Wine! Our bar package had free wine. 2 hours or so into the package we realized guests were paying for wine! We were even shown an email that had no details about wine hinting that we may be intoxicated and forgot the details - At this time Saz's said they would begin giving it to guests for free and would work out the details the later. The next day Saz's indicated we were right (they found the email and refunded us completely). I commend them for fixing it but still feel cheated that some of my guests had to pay $$$ for house wine. Not the bartenders fault, but once again poor communication. I must say though aside from the bartenders charging my guests, Hardworking staff!!! \r\rSara - Super helpful. The diamond of the bunch. Was able to juggle a lot of these problems and make them a tad brighter. I feel that if Sara was in charge from day 1 everything else would have went smoother. \r\rFood - Top Notch for wedding cuisine. #1 reason (besides Sara and hardworking cooks/servers/bartenders) to give this location 2 stars.\r\rUltimately the golf course is beautiful. Unfortunately Western Lakes doesn't really want you there even though you are patting their bottom line. Have everything in writing and put it in a folder that you can take out the day of (rehearsal/day of) even if its not something you are paying for. Reviewed on 17-09-2015

Jenny Bixby(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2014 Everything was great until a few days before. The food was not what we had picked out. It was good, but not what we were expecting. This probably could have been avoided if they answered my food questions earlier than 2 days before, when I had been asking for weeks. (Then there was a huge fight over what we had ordered vs. what we were paying for... not something a bride wants to deal with 2 days before). So, our New York strip was actually roast beef. \r\rWhen we got the bar bill, the prices were significantly higher than what we had discussed. But, we had nothing in writing to dispute it. We never received an itemized bill for anything. \r\rHere's the worst part though: They told us, go ahead and leave everything, don't worry about a thing, and come pick everything up Sunday morning. We did just that, thinking our things would be stored safely. We came back on Sunday to discover that most of our cards with monetary gifts had been stolen. The box was not tampered with and there was only a small opening, so someone had to have stood there and picked the cards out one by one, so clearly it did not happen during the reception. We thought, hey, you have security cameras! Just check those! Turns out, those are fake. I spoke with the owner of the club and he basically chastised me, telling me, I can't believe the person you put in charge of watching the card box didn't watch it. Really? Clearly I didn't think to have a designated person and you're just going to be a jerk right now? All they kept saying is that they aren't responsible for lost or stolen items and did nothing to help. And unfortunately, all I had was the coordinator's word (Chris) against mine on whether or not we were told we could leave everything. \r\rMoral of the story: GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Seriously, every single thing. Reviewed on 27-10-2014

Kelly Fredrick(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2013 I will give Saz's Western Lakes Golf Club this much, the food was fantastic and the hall decorates up nicely but I am disappointed in the fact that our repeated messages left requesting a return call after the wedding related to their service and miscommunications. FIRST, they misplaced my cake topper (which I wanted to keep for my future anniversaries) and some cake plate/pillars they lost that I had to pay the cake person back for. SECONDLY, I missed out on many, many picture opportunities on the golf course because the grounds manager and the catering manager had different views on when we could have our pictures taken and at what time. This was one of the main reasons why we selected this hall/golf course because of the beautiful grounds and I DID NOT GO TO A PARK for any pictures!! When we contacted the golf course owner regarding the picture issues and explained the encounter and the situation he said he would investigate it and definitely get to the bottom of it. He never returned a call to us nor would he return messages that we left him trying to find out what happened. LASTLY, we were lead to believe that only one wedding was held at a time and much to our surprise there was an outside wedding held in a tent on the grounds in which some of those wedding guests were getting free drinks from our bar (we had an open bar), exactly what was our fear was with facilities that host more than one wedding on the same date. I feel as a Bride, these issues need to be given to other brides who are considering Western Lakes Golf Course as their venue.

Renee Pottorff(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2012 The facility at Western Lakes was beautiful! The back wall is all glass that looks out onto the golf course. It is a long, skinny room with a dance floor at either end, though we didn't take up the whole space, so they had one end walled off. They set up everything(place cards, favors, centerpieces, etc.) for no extra charge, we just showed them how we wanted it and they did the rest. The price was also great considering the quality of the food and all the extras they threw in (champagne toast, hand passed hors d'voueres, late night snack). The bartenders were very attentive. My one complaint is that the waitstaff seemed unorganized and were rude. The coordinator we had been in contact with wasn't there (it was his birthday) and it didn't seem like there was anyone in charge. When our baker dropped off the cake they were rude to her, when the wedding party arrived they asked if we could move things along (we were about 10 minutes past estimated time of arrival). What really makes me angry is at the end of the night, they were in such a rush to get everything put away that I'm surprised nothing was broken. We were never told that everything had to go that night, and so they are coming to me, the bride, asking what I want to keep and what should be thrown away and where things should be put. I very nearly burst in tears right there.

We wanted to have the ceremony outdoors, but 30 min prior to the ceremony start it was raining and Western Lakes had to move everything inside for us. They did an amazing job! The food is also great and is catered by Sazs. I would highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 16-10-2011
Erin Sirovina(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2011 I loved all of our food from our wedding. Saz's was wonderful to work with for our catering needs. We were able to trial all of our food choices prior to our final decisions. The food was fantastic and many of our guests commented on how great it was! We had a few food allergies and they worked with us to make accomodations. We also were able to work with them and they provided an ice cream sundae bar for our dessert and late night pizzas during dancing, both turned out well. I was extremely pleased with their services and would use them again in the future! Reviewed on 02-08-2011
