Perfect wedding venue from beginning to end! A venue this beautiful in this ideal of a location could have average food and service and still be booked solid. Instead, the food was truly exceptional and the service outstanding - matching the beauty of the venue and creating the complete package. Kurt Streit and his team made the planning and execution of my daughter's wedding enjoyable, smooth, fun and, ultimately, the perfect event. Our guests are still raving, declaring, without hyperbole, that this was the "best wedding" they had ever attended. The WSC team brought our vision for this special day to life and not only met but exceeded our expectations. We are beyond grateful!

“Never in my life...did I think I would have such a beautiful experience celebrating our wedding day! So much of it was due to the people at the West Shore Cafe... It's an absolutely gorgeous venue and we had our gathering after eloping on a Monday night in July and because of the night we chose, we had a private table on the lawn overlooking the lake with boats scattered by their lit pier and food that was wonderful…”

-Karen, July 9, 2018

“Not only did my husband and I have the wedding of our dreams here, but we have come back every year since as it is the most magical place in the world. Summer or winter, we have had the best experience - each time getting better and better. The wedding was perfect, food always delicious (drinks even better), service is always fantastic and the setting is unrivaled. This is our little slice of heaven and I could not recommend it more.

-Kristen, March 17, 2018

“Our wedding and visits leading up to it was simply fabulous. From the rich, stunning decor inside to the floor to ceiling lake views and the gorgeous rooms - West Shore Cafe is perfection. And can we talk about the food!? Oh my goodness, to die for! Our family and other guests were obsessed (and so are we) with the decadent and wonderful food. We would recommend them for any event, from a wedding to a date night...you will not be disappointed!”
