We had our wedding here, we loved the setting, the location and the food was pretty good however we did not feel very welcomed by the management team or the membership. We were given a temporary membership so we could hold our wedding there. This is how they get around it being a private club but still are able to offer weddings to non-members (the public). Hosting weddings allows the club to generate catering income that helps keep the 'real' members dues down. This said, the 'real members' do not appreciate their country club being used and what we found, they complain about your wedding while it is happening. The catering management team is understandably caught in the middle, but what we found is that they will side with the complaining member (probably because their job depends on siding with the member and not a one time client). This means that while your wedding is happening you may encounter a change of plan or be told that you need to curtail some planned and agreed upon behavior because now, on your wedding day you are not able to do or use a part of the club or a space for something that you had been told previously would be allowed. In short, a complaining member could ruin your wedding and the management staff will push against you and not the complaining member. I am sure that there are many members who understand and appreciate the wedding couple (and the benefit they bring to the membership in income), but it only takes one or two members to complain about something that can leave a bad taste in your mouth (the wedding couple) when the catering manager approaches you to push back or give you a little attitude right in the middle of your special day. If I had to do it over again knowing what I know now, I would avoid this place because they did not show us any form of appreciation during the planning stages, during the wedding or after the wedding when we were settling the final bill. They are all business and are not your friend, no warm and fuzzy feeling from these people. The Wisconsin Club Country Club in my opinion is a place to avoid if you're a non-member looking for a place to host your wedding.
