A Beautiful Location in Central Wisconsin

Caribou Bay Retreat is located in the heart of Central Wisconsin, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by natural beauty and lakeside views.
Guests traveling from Appleton, Oshkosh, Stevens Point, Portage, Wisconsin Dells, and Madison will find the drive to be a relaxing transition into the celebration ahead.
For the smoothest arrival, we recommend using Google Maps and allowing a little extra time for country roads and the short walk to the ceremony site.
Arriving With Ease and Grace
To keep the day flowing beautifully, guests should plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the ceremony and be seated 10 minutes prior to the start time.
This allows time to take in the surroundings, settle in, and fully experience the relaxed, romantic atmosphere that defines a wedding at Caribou Bay Retreat.
Easy On Site Parking for Your Guests

Complimentary on site parking is available for all guests. Clear signage and venue staff will guide everyone to the appropriate parking areas upon arrival.
No parking is allowed down the driveway. This helps keep the space safe, organized, and welcoming for everyone.
Assistance Getting to the Chapel
Because Caribou Bay Retreat is a scenic outdoor wedding venue, some guests may need assistance getting to the ceremony location.
If help is needed, guests should reach out to the bride ahead of time so arrangements can be made.
What to Wear to a Wisconsin Outdoor Wedding
Caribou Bay Retreat offers both indoor and outdoor spaces with natural terrain, including grass and gravel pathways.
We recommend flats, wedges, block heels, or dress boots for comfort.
Wisconsin evenings can cool down quickly, especially near the water. A light wrap or jacket is always a thoughtful addition.
Celebrating Rain or Shine

Weddings at Caribou Bay Retreat are beautiful in every season.
If rain moves in, the couple may choose to move the ceremony indoors or pause briefly to allow it to pass. Guests may want to bring a small umbrella for comfort when moving between locations.
Some of the most memorable weddings include a gentle rain, creating an intimate and unforgettable atmosphere.
Guest Comfort Throughout the Day
Restrooms are conveniently located inside the Event Center, with clear signage and staff available to guide guests.
Every detail is designed so guests feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire day.
Being Fully Present During the Ceremony
Many couples choose to have an unplugged ceremony, asking guests to put away phones and be fully present.
We kindly ask guests to follow the couple’s wishes regarding photos and devices. Professional photographers will capture the ceremony beautifully.
For more insight into unplugged ceremonies, couples often reference guidance from The Knot.
Welcoming Children With Care
Children are welcome unless the couple has requested an adults only celebration.
Because Caribou Bay Retreat is a natural setting with wooded areas, firepits, and a lake, children should be supervised at all times.
Respecting the Property

Smoking is permitted only in designated areas on the property.
Guests are asked to follow posted signage and use approved locations so that all guests can enjoy a clean and comfortable environment.
Support Throughout Your Wedding Day
Venue staff are available throughout the celebration to assist guests with any questions or needs.
Whether it is helping with directions or providing assistance, our team is always nearby to ensure everything runs smoothly.
A Seamless Wedding Experience

The Guest Information page at Caribou Bay Retreat is more than a list of details. It is an essential part of creating a smooth, stress free wedding day.
When guests know what to expect, they feel relaxed. When they feel relaxed, they are fully present. And when everyone is present, the entire experience becomes more meaningful.
