About

An Unforgettable Event Space

Celebrate your special day just 30 minutes from Lake Geneva, in a space where rustic charm meets modern elegance. With polished concrete floors, warm wood tones, and exposed beams, The Reserve at Black Oak offers a romantic yet versatile canvas for your dream wedding. Our soft, neutral palette complements any design style, whether you envision timeless sophistication, organic minimalism, or vibrant celebration.

Exchange vows beneath the sweeping branches of our signature black oak tree, beside the waterfront on the peninsula, or on our contemporary patio surrounded by the glow of fire pits. From private elopements to full weekend celebrations, every corner of our property is designed to create lasting memories.

Exclusively Yours

At The Reserve at Black Oak, your wedding weekend is truly yours. Host a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or farewell brunch without ever sharing the space. We never double book, ensuring every moment feels private, personal, and perfectly tailored to you.

Find Your Perfect Fit

Whether it’s a grand celebration or a smaller, cozier affair, our versatile spaces have you covered. The larger room offers an airy, rustic-elegant vibe ideal for big receptions and galas. Adjoining is a more intimate space for up to 100 guests, complete with soft neutrals and an indoor/outdoor bar—perfect for smaller receptions, rehearsal dinners and bridal showers.

Additional Amenities

Step into two stunning, private lounge rooms designed for a relaxed, fun, and fabulous getting-ready experience. Each space is beautifully appointed with everything you need to prepare, toast, and enjoy these special pre-ceremony moments. Plus, enjoy a cozy outdoor patio with bar service and three breathtaking ceremony spots: the waterfront peninsula, our iconic black oak tree, and our outdoor patio area.
