My wedding was off the hook. The owner made sure that everything went smooth for us and kept checking on us a couple days before the wedding to make sure everything was going perfect. I was referred from one of my good friends who had their wedding at his other venue the CLYBOURN and my experience was just as great wonderful. If you want a beautiful ceremony and reception in an affordable venue, this is the one.

If there was a 6th star available, we would give it! Everything about twelve29 was AMAZING! Chris, Sara and their staff were absolutely top notch! The venue is not your typical flashy wedding venue. It's a great location in Lannon, WI. Having a uniqueness inside as well as outside. The separate rooms where you can play bags (corn hole) or just hanging around with family and friends during your cocktail hour or before the wedding starts. There is no other venue that we looked at that has an old bank vault in it! When we were looking at venues for our wedding, we walked in and immediately fell in love with it! Chris & Sara have done an amazing job making sure that all our questions and concerns were answered and they were very attentive on the day of our wedding. Chris was onsite helping to set up the buffet line, making sure that all our needs were met and even making sure that we had something to drink! He even asked my husband if he'd be interested in loaning out our archway! LOL.... Having a separate room from my husband for myself & my attendants to get ready in was a blessing! Chris & Sara really thought of everything that you could need as a Bride or Groom. The calendar does fill up quickly, so do not hesitate to book this hidden jewel in Lannon, WI. You will not regret it!
