A Reflection –
Our Daughter’s Wedding
An Invitation To You

The story of civilization
is the story of family.
My father, Norbert
and my uncle, Bill Schickel,
and now the Audi Family,
have founded Geneva On The Lake
around the work
of hospitality and family.

We hope that something
of the excitement and love
of a marriage celebration
In any family’s life
is conveyed in these pictures.

I invite you to create
a beautiful, rich and memorable celebration
at Geneva On The Lake.

Thank you,
Bill Schickel

Hi Chris.
We had such a wonderful time. We both have said several times since Friday that everything was just PERFECT and we couldn’t have imagined that it could have been better in ANY way. Thank you so much for taking care of us. You and the staff were just incredible! And, we’re already planning our next trip up! 🙂 We also received so many compliments on the service and the food. Amazing!

My husband and I wanted to have a small wedding but were constantly denied from other venues because our guest count was too low. Luckily, we found Geneva on the Lake to have our wedding. It was the perfect choice. The staff was very attentive, personable and caring. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate Chris, our wedding planner, and the others who helped during our wedding. I would recommend this venue to others looking for a romantic getaway, weekend trip, and even a reception area for a wedding. My highest remarks.

Chris,
Without you, your kindness, and all of your help, our Wedding would never have turned out as perfectly as it did! You were such an amazing joy to work with and to get to know you was a true pleasure! All the incredible work and coordinating you did, the wonderfully kind cards from you, Bill and the staff, the bottle of wine, packing and mailing all of our décor back to us. (and packed in such nice containers!) You are just so incredible, everyone at Geneva on the Lake is, and we feel so immensely lucky to have found you and the oasis you over see. With Extreme thanks.
