Magic night, despite pouring rain!

Camp Kiwanee was the most beautiful, fun, perfect venue for our wedding. We were looking for a very low key, easy place where we could just throw a party and Camp Kiwanee was the perfect location for that. We worked closely with Renae who was so responsive and informative about the whole wedding planning process. The ceremony site overlooking the lake is beyond gorgeous and despite downpouring rain it was a beautiful day.

Our day was perfect!

My husband and I got married at Camp Kiwanee on Saturday and I am still over the moon with how amazing our day was. The rustic look and lake was just so perfect. It exceeded our expectations. Dori is also so lovely to work with!

Magical Memories

It was magical!!! Beyond my expectations. The staff were incredible. So helpful and accommodating. We had 70 guests at the wedding/reception. 50 guests stayed over in the cabins. It was comfortable and clean. The staffs' confidence and professionalism kept me calm. The venue is gorgeous and several people commented it felt so comfortable, felt like "home". The kids had so much fun and are still talking about it. We had s'mores at night and pastry and coffee in the morning in the pavilion. We planned to go to the beach on the way out but the weather had other ideas. We are blessed to have these memories. LOVED IT!!! The price is outstanding for what you get. Highly recommended.
