Their dedication and passion for what they do shone through, and it truly felt like they were as invested in our special day as we were. The food was amazing! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The steak, in particular, was grilled to perfection, and we received numerous compliments on its tenderness and flavor. The au gratin potatoes were a total hit, pleasing everyone, and the desserts from the in-house bakery were both mouth watering and stunning. The entire dining experience was top-notch, and it's safe to say that Madden's culinary team surpassed all expectations. Beyond the wedding day itself, our entire wedding weekend at Madden's on Gull Lake was a seamless and delightful affair.

The pavilion at Madden's took our breath away - it was simply stunning and needed minimal decor to shine. Our guests were wowed by its beauty! Having Gull Lake as the backdrop for our ceremony was a dream come true, and the cherry on top was the pontoon cruise we enjoyed with our wedding party during cocktail hour. It was an unforgettable experience! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at Madden's on Gull Lake for making our wedding weekend the most memorable and magical experience of our lives. Their attention to detail, culinary expertise, and dedication to ensuring our happiness were second to none.

The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane was an exceptional venue. I used the space for a small gathering and the venue managers were communicative and friendly throughout the entire planning process, and their attention to detail was remarkable. The venue itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pine interior that created a warm ambiance. They went above and beyond to support our group, even offering to help us load and unload our decor. This space is stunning for a wedding but would also make a great space for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, family get together or any other intimate group gathering.
