From the reviews
I had my reception here for my wedding they provided the linens for the tables and chairs as well as the dishes and silverware for dinner . We used the small hall which was bigger than I thought it was really nice and newly renovated.
My nephew and his lovely bride had their wedding reception here. There was ample parking. The venue was clean and spacious while the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The staff were professional including checking into my special dietary needs. The food was delicious.
A great venue, as a DJ its always nice to work with such a friendly and helpful staff! Expect tasty European food and good service.
A fantastic locally owned business that supports the Lake County Touchdown Club! They are a beautiful venue with great food for a special night out to celebrate local HS Football Players!!
Getting married at The American-Croatian Lodge
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
