We had our wedding at Ludlow Mansion in Monroe WI and it was fantastic. Penny and Greg are great and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our guests continued to comment throughout the night how the venue was beautiful. Our wedding was in April and they were so accommodating to moving the ceremony to be inside instead of outside the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend going with the three day package as it made everything less stressful. I cannot say enough how happy we were to have our wedding at Ludlow and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for that all in one place for their weddings!

We recently had our wedding at 10 South on Friday, November 1st, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From our initial tour to the day of the wedding and every meeting in between, the team at 10 South, especially Lindsay (Venue Manager) and Audrey (Event Manager), went above and beyond to make our day seamless. They took the stress out of planning with their coordinator packages, in-house DJ, and trusted list of preferred caterers, allowing us to fully enjoy the process. Their recommendations for furniture and decor rentals were spot on, making it easy to create the perfect atmosphere. I genuinely can’t recommend 10 South enough—if I could plan ten more weddings, I would host them all here!

It was great being able to have the entire facility for the whole weekend at a great price. Friday for rehearsal and set up, Saturday ceremony and reception and Sunday for cleanup! We did leave the facility to go to a local park for outdoor photos but mainly everything was at the location.
