Halverson House is more than just a ‘day of’ wedding venue. Instead it is a way of life that caters to families as they come together to celebrate what being a family, new or old, truly means. We believe in “comfortable elegance” which isn’t simply a tagline, but instead a standard throughout all that we offer. Comfort to us means a stress free experience for you and your guests from planning, to the day of your wedding and even afterwards. Situated on a private 120 acre site, Halverson House combines historical charm with the comfort of today’s modern amenities. The formal gardens and picturesque pond complement the still farmed agricultural land, wooded areas while the 1910 Victorian Mansion radiates luxury in exquisite details and full bridal suite. The granary, turned groom's quarters is complete with game tables, and lounge area while our fully restored 1860's post beam construction barn pairs historic detail with your most desired comfortable conveniences and elegant finishes.

“To say we are pleased with our wedding experience at Halverson House would be an understatement. From the first moment my husband and I arrived for our venue tour, we were absolutely blown away by the natural beauty of this venue. The grounds keepers do an amazing job of tending to the gardens and the various flowers/trees they have growing around the property. The house itself is beyond comparison. It has so much vintage charm and is very cozy. Joi and Alex worked so hard to make our wedding planning process as easy as possible. I am being completely honest when I say I had ZERO wedding planning stress. They have so many included decorations you can choose from for your wedding day, that I only brought a welcome sign. I saved so much time and money not having to make or purchase wedding decor. The food was also out of this world. They worked hard to make sure all allergies were accommodated. Joi was constantly reaching out with next steps in the planning process. The Planning Pod portal made everything super organized and easy. All I did was upload pictures of my Pinterest page and the vision I was going for and they completely brought by vision to life. My bridesmaids and I stayed in the house the night before the wedding and the house was clean and comfortable. Joi and Alex were both very present during wedding day, making sure everything ran smoothly and according to the itinerary they made for us. We did not have a single bad experience at this venue and we received so many compliments about the venue on our wedding day. After our wedding exit, Joi put our wedding cake and some champagne in the room for my husband and I to enjoy. I could not recommend Halverson House more!”
