We fell in love with 10 South when we attended a wedding a few months before getting engaged. When we went to tour, it was truly love at first sight and we booked our wedding day, that very moment. The exposed brick throughout the venue and the bride and groom suites are what really sold us! The size is also perfect, whether it’s a smaller guest count or large! They made the touring experience so special, we each got to pick one drink from their specialty cocktails. And it was very personable. We ended up booking one of the coordinator packages, which got us a couple meetings and had the same experience during those as well. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and would recommend vendors that we were still needing. We worked with Megan and she made the whole process so easy! Communication was great and emails were always responded to in a very timely manner. Our wedding day went so smoothly, even with the power going out (power outage in the area) 20ish minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. Luckily it was back up and running just seconds before it was go time, so no delays! I should add, with the coordinator package, the staff set up and took down all of our decorations for us, which was a huge stress reliever. Megan and the staff brought my vision to life! I can’t recommend 10 South enough!

Forever Young is a newly built, family owned venue located in the heart of the Kettle Moraine Forest just outside of Palmyra, Wisconsin. We have restored the cream city brick space into a timeless and beautiful venue with countryside charm and elegant flair. Less than one hour away from both Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin. Originally this property was home to Young Engineering Co. established in 1918 and was a manufacturing and printing press facility until it was closed in the early 80’s. The building remained vacant until the property was purchased from the Young Foundation in 2018. While reconstructing the space, we preserved much of the original beauty and history that was, while adding the modern amenities and touches to bring your vision to life. We feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity to carry on the history of this property, and the spirit of being forever young.

The Riviera Ballroom was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was responsive, timely, and very well-managed. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - stately and elegant, providing the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner. Our guests raved about the intimate ceremony space and the lovely dinner area, which allowed for great conversation throughout the evening. As the bride, I wish there had been a private space for me to get ready and wait before the ceremony, as the guests were able to see me beforehand. Additionally, some of our guests mentioned that parking was a bit tricky. Overall though, the Riviera Ballroom exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly memorable.

Where to start!! The venue is beautiful: the landscaping, the historic house and barn, and the lovely paths between the buildings. The bridal dressing room is amazing (and quiet!). The bathrooms are very clean. The manager is very responsive and very easy to work with. He answered all of our questions quickly and with care! But the best part? The food. The food is so good, high quality, your guests will be talking about it for ages. Quivey’s includes chairs tables linens and place settings so you only have to worry about cake and what to pick from their delicious menu for food. Also, there is a hotel across the lawn for the safe return of your guests. Set up is a breeze because they have staff setting up the tables and table clothes. Everyone is so kind and helpful! Also all our vendors had worked with Quivey’s before, they’re pros at weddings.

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!

The Bowery was the first and only venue that my now husband and I toured. We took one step onto this property and instantly fell in love. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and they made everything so easy for planning! From checklists, to tipping guides, to responding (kindly) to my endless emails- we couldn’t have asked for more. I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, who’s coordinating services we added onto our day. She truly understood and executed my wedding vision better than I could’ve ever imagined. We felt like we were part of the family here and not just another couple. If you’re looking for a place that is more than a venue- this is it.
