Vilas Brides & Grooms: Plan Your Lakeside Wedding on our Door County Wedding Pier
For a new Mr. & Mrs., 'Happily Ever After' begins with lakeside wedding at Bayview Resort & Harbor, home of the Door County Wedding Pier. On your wedding day walk down the aisle in your wedding gown over turquoise waters in view of rocky shores and majestic bluffs.
In 2011, the owners of Bayview Resort & Harbor, Inc in Ellison Bay, WI announced that they would allow guests to use the private, upscale waterfront resort for lakeside wedding ceremonies. The resort's south pier, also known as the Door County Wedding Pier, was completely rebuilt in 2010 with special events like wedding ceremonies in mind in order to take advantage of the spectacular waterfront location and panoramic view of Ellison Bay - not too far from Vilas.
As a result, guests visiting from Vilas can now exchange vows on the beautiful waters of Green Bay with a stunning view of Ellison Bay and the setting sun as their backdrop! The private beach and Door County Wedding Pier offer truly unique waterfront venues for formal or casual wedding ceremonies from ten to two hundred people. Currently, there is no site cost for wedding ceremonies up to 75 people. Decorate the pier and your wedding bouquet with local roses. Wedding receptions may also be held on site, subject to availability. Enjoy your wine toast outdoors at our private beach area with your family and guests! A site fee applies to wedding receptions.
Vilas couples find that in addition to being an outstanding setting to hear the words, 'You may now kiss the bride!', the resort's location, grounds and facilities also offer guests the opportunity to host a casual rehearsal dinner or other fun, family related activities before or after the wedding vows. As Bayview Resort & Harbor is centrally located in Northern Door County, we make an excellent 'home base' for travel and excursions from Vilas to places like Newport State Park and Peninsula State Park as well as many shops, artisan boutiques and restaurants such as Mink River Basin and The Wickman House - all within walking distance of the resort. In addition, guests may decide that they don't want or need to leave the resort grounds due to our many amenities, including our private beach and tennis courts. Wifi is available throughout the resort as well.
Vilas long-time guests have been returning to Bayview Resort & Harbor for generations to take advantage of the beautiful grounds and waterfront amenities for their annual vacations or romantic holidays. Allow us to help you begin your new lives together by hosting your wedding ceremony on our scenic Door County Wedding Pier at Bayview Resort & Harbor! As our wedding gift to you, there is no site fee for resort guests.
