Create Winter Magic: Host a Lakeside Party

Celebrate the holiday season lakeside for a magical blend of crisp air, winter landscapes, and cozy ambiance. Here are some key tips for planning a memorable gathering.

  1. Choose a Cozy Venue
    Opt for a lakeside spot with big windows to showcase snowy views. Venues with fireplaces and igloos, like PIER 290 in Lake Geneva, WI, offer warmth and atmosphere.
  2. Set Warm Decor
    Embrace winter with greens, whites, and metallics, plus cozy touches like candles, string lights, and natural accents. A holiday-themed photo wall adds a fun, festive touch.
  3. Serve Comforting Winter Fare
    Create a menu of hearty winter dishes and warm drinks. A prix fixe with soups, roasts, and spiced ciders brings out seasonal flavors. View our menu.

  5. Offer Cozy Outdoor Options
    Set up a heated outdoor space with blankets and fire pits for guests to enjoy the view with a hot drink in hand.
  6. Use Eco-Friendly Décor
    Go green with reusable, local greenery and eco-friendly favors like handmade soaps or candles.
  7. Plan for Winter Weather
    Ensure clear paths, warm seating, and safety measures. Offer extra gloves and scarves for guests.
  8. Add Personal Touches
    Customized ornaments, handwritten cards, or blankets add a thoughtful, festive touch.

With thoughtful details and a cozy venue, a lakeside holiday party will capture the season’s magic and leave lasting memories. Friends and family are sure to never forget the incredible lakeside charm your party brought to the table.
