This review is strictly for their semi-annual Ebleskiver & Medisterpolse (Danish Sausages)…read morebreakfast they have twice a year. They do a FANTASTIC job managing the crowd & cranking out all those delicious ebleskivers...all with smiling and friendly volunteers from the Lodge. The most recent time, Nov. 2017, they advertised it on their facebook page so the crowd was much, much larger than usual but everything still went smoothly & the lines kept moving. I'd say we waited 30-40 minutes in line...but well worth it! The price was a mere $8 for a "full" order which consisted of 6 eblelskiver, 2 links of the medisterpole (Danish sausages which are very delicious), a slice of kringle (they had apple, cherry or blueberry kringle to choose from) & coffee. You could order a 1/2 order as well for less. If you aren't familar with ebleskiver they are essentially pancake balls that are pan fried like a pancake in a special pan with wells to pour the batter into. You can eat them plain or split them open and fill with jelly & sprinkle powdered sugar on top. On the communal tables there are bowls of grape jelly and powdered sugar to put on/in your ebleskiver if you wish. DEELISH! Their wonderful volunteers go around and refill coffees and put down fresh paper placemats, napkins & plastic utensils as folks come & go.

To celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary, we were looking for a unique way to celebrate.  We decided…read moreto invest in a personal chef and contacted chef Gerard from ChefBnbEats.  Since we were not familiar with the process, we had a number of logistical questions.  Chef Gerard was responsive to all of our questions and worked with us to create our menu.  The Chef offered menu options and made recommendations when requested. Once the menu was selected, the Chef handled the food shopping. Our dinner party consisted of 9 people--5 had steak, 2 had chicken and the other two people chose fish.  The Chef also prepared side dishes of a potato stack, mushrooms, asparagus and green beans.  In addition, we requested appetizers--a charcuterie board and an apricot/maple sausage flatbread.  The appetizers were exceptional and everyone enjoyed them.  The dinner preparation was exceptional---sous chef Jasmine and chef Gerard were able to prepare all dinners in a kitchen he had never seen.   Gerard and Jasmine worked effectively as a team and took time to interact with us answering questions about their work. The meal ended with a strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream and was the perfect desert after our meal.  Chef Gerard and Sous Chef Jasmine cleaned the dishes/kitchen before departing. ChefBnbEats helped make the celebration of a 50th wedding anniversary memorable.  From menu selection, through meal preparation to cleaning, ChefBnbEats delivered an excellent value  which will be fondly remembered by everyone enjoying an expertly prepared dinner by Chef Gerard/Sous Chef Jasmine.

We hired Fun Times DJ for our wedding last month, and I'm so happy that we did. They came highly…read morerecommended by my wedding venue and had heard such great things about them. I knew once I talked with them on the phone that they would be great to get the party going which is exactly what I wanted and what I received. Dan did a great job. He was all set up with music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. There were specific songs I wanted and did not want played, and he followed that even though I know one of my guests tried to request a song on the no-play list. There was a questionnaire that I was supposed to fill out and even though I didn't fill out half of it because I didn't know or didn't really care about certain things, I'm glad they asked all of those questions because I didn't think about the songs that would make my coworkers dance or the song that my parents danced to at their wedding that some people might overlook and really want played due to the sentimental value. He didn't come up to us very often except a to make sure he pronounced all of my wedding party's names and the right first dance song. The only thing he goofed on which is why I'm giving this a 4 star rating was because I asked for a particular song to be played for our ceremony exit (through email not questionnaire) and instead some other song was played that I had never heard of. At the time, I didn't care (how could I, I had just gotten married), but now I wish it had been the song I wanted. Overall, great job and super fun!!!

We did the questionnary and everything was going great. Don told us he wasn't available for that day and he would send somebody else that had a lot of experience as well, his name was Mike I think...and we were okey about it. We never met with the other dj as we did everything with Don. The day of the wedding was a little disappointing for me and my husband with the dj, we requested on the questionnary a few songs that were special for us and never happened also when I met Don I warned him that half bridal party had Hispanic names and I know it can get tricky if you don't speak Spanish, but Don was super aware and he told me he knew how to pronounce them so I didn't worry...but the day of the wedding all the names were just Pronunounced awfully wrong even the bride name was pronounced just wrong wrong wrong! Now I have a video of the wedding reception were you clearly you can see the dj just landed in the wedding and didn't even see the questionnary before it, otherwise would take the time to call us to take a note how to pronounce everybody's name if you don't know how to pronounce them... The music was okey,it wasn't bad but I was expecting a little more, we didn't complain at the time as we were trying just to ignore the bad and enjoy our special day. What is done is done but my recommendation would be for Don to follow closer the other djs that work with him to make sure they give a quality service, I am sure Don is a great dj and he really care about giving a good service as he was great working with is before the wedding day.

If I could give more stars, I would! My husband and I just got married at Thunderhawk on June 18,…read more2016. We originally visited in early November 2015 and were blown away with the natural beauty of this place. We had looked at a couple of banquet hall/hotel like places before that I had not liked at all. I knew this was THE place the minute we stepped into the rustic restaurant for our meeting! Some highlights: 1. Location: Thunderhawk is rustic and beautiful! The patio is green and well kept and reception hall is equally beautiful with high ceilings and wood beams. They have a double sided fireplace at the entrance to the reception hall which makes for a perfectly cozy spot for a fall wedding and a great blank canvas for welcome decor during the warmer months. They keep Christmas lights outside which makes the outside beautiful once the sun goes down. The lighting in the reception hall is beautiful and warm! No need for purchasing or renting string lights or other lighting! It felt like we needed to do very little to make the space look great and provided the perfect casual elegance we were looking for. We ended up with our ceremony outside, but honestly I would have been equally happy with the ceremony inside, if the weather required it! 2. Planning: Planning with Jody was by far the easiest and most enjoyable thing about wedding planning. She was laid back, extremely helpful, and always prompt with estimates, answers to questions, etc. She was so incredibly accommodating at every point of the planning (food tasting, linens, coordinating decor pickup). We left every meeting raving to each other about how wonderfully easy and fun the process was! She is truly talented and a joy to work with! 3. Service: Thunderhawk was no less attentive and accommodating on the day of our ceremony. While other places allot you about 2 hours before the ceremony for set up, Thunderhawk let us come a few hours the day before to set up, because they did not have another event on that Friday. They had the linens and other included decor beautifully done. This made the day of the wedding so much more relaxing. They used my aisle decor to decorate outside after the ceremony and made my husband and I a plate of appetizers and put it at our table so that we could have a taste of everything! We were able to pick up all of our items the day after, so no worries about packing up the car on the wedding night! ...just a few examples of so many thoughtful, little details!!! If there were hiccups throughout the night, I was completely unaware! I only heard raving reviews from the guests. I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT! 4. Pricing: The pricing per plate is very reasonable and there are no hidden prices, like many other venues. They have basic options with available upgrades. You are able to pick and choose add ons/upgrades quite easily. NO pressure to upgrade. When we got our final bill, there were no surprises. 5. Food: We got so many compliments about the food at our wedding! Chef Ann is truly talented! We were able to taste several entree options at a private tasting and tasted all of the appetizer options at a tasting open house. Everything was delicious! We particularly loved the Parisian salad, pecan chicken, and spinach lasagna! The gnocchi and carved sirloin were also very good! Several of our guests had allergies and they were more than happy to accommodate these! Everything was so easy and fun! The servers were incredibly attentive and kind. Simply wonderful people. I could go on and on, but I will end with saying that this is truly a hidden gem of Lake County! I can not more strongly recommend researching this place for your wedding, shower or corporate event! Thank you, Thunderthawk team for making my wedding day so beautiful and carefree! I truly got to enjoy and savor the day because of your hard work! Tips: The bathroom baskets were totally worth the cost and, in my opinion, would be more expensive if you DIY. Again, several compliments about these from guests! The fall dates seemed to fill up faster than summer dates, so make sure to contact them relatively early if you have your heart set on a fall wedding.
