Wedding & Social Events
The most intimate & unique venue in Lake Geneva

overview

This historically significant Italianate Mansion offers an exquisite and historic location for your important event. Built in 1856, the Maxwell Mansion was the first mansion built in Lake Geneva and has long been host to dignitaries and socialites over its history. It is now available for your historic event.

We host events such as weddings, corporate retreats, milestone celebrations, private mixology classes, and more.

Comfortably accommodating up to 100 guests (as weather permits) throughout the mansion for receptions of all styles and magnitudes. The entire first floor of the mansion and perennial gardens with croquet lawn and fountain are designed to have your guests travel back in time to true Gilded Age Living. The Ballroom can comfortably seat up to 40 people for an intimate sit-down dinner.

Upon entering the double doors, guests are welcomed into an intimate foyer with chandeliers, a fire-lit receiving room off to one side, and a crystal-laden ballroom to the other. The 1880’s Apothecary Bar is adjoined by outdoor cabanas and a wraparound deck leading to the front gardens. An intimate lounge and marble breezeway also connect all the unique spaces.

The Historic Mansions of Lake Geneva are genuinely a one-of-a-kind venue to host a private event, if you are interested in rates and information please contact us below.
