Andrew and I absolutely loved Abella! We had our wedding in the old historic barn end of August and it was perfect! The getting ready houses are great, I had 10 girls and Andrew 13 guys and there was plenty of room. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue is. We had about 240 guests.

The Braham Event Center was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was very good - they were responsive to our questions and helped us coordinate all the logistics seamlessly. The venue itself is a huge, spacious space with great lighting that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. They were also incredibly helpful with all the last minute details that come up when planning a wedding. On top of that, the Braham Event Center is a non-profit organization that gives back to the community, and their pricing was very reasonable for the high-quality space they provided. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage.

My husband and I just got married at The Refuge a few weeks ago, and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Our entire weekend from the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the bridal suite, the ceremony, dinner, and the reception was absolutely amazing. The venue, wedding ceremony location, bridal suite, and banquet area are all incredibly beautiful. The breakfast and lunch we had in the bridal suite getting ready, and the dinner during our reception was phenomenal. We served oven roasted chicken and fresh salmon, our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we cannot thank our wedding coordinator, Lisa, and the rest of the Refuge staff for making our wedding the best weekend of our entire lives! If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely choose The Refuge!!! 10/10!

An Absolutely Breathtaking & dedicated venue. We truly feel blessed. ​Choosing Sunflower Hills in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, was the single best decision we made for our wedding, and the experience was truly magical. This is more than just a gorgeous venue—it's an exceptionally accommodating and supportive place run by the truly remarkable Emily. ​From the moment we booked, Emily made sure to help us every step along the way. She is not only incredibly kind and caring but also passionately committed to making sure your wedding is everything you've ever dreamed of. Her dedication is unparalleled, and she and her team ensured everything ran flawlessly smooth. The added bonus of her assistance with both set up and take down was a lifesaver and made the entire process stress-free. ​We highly recommend the all-weekend package. It allowed us to fully settle in and enjoy the entire celebration. The venue itself is one of the most beautiful places, providing a truly breathtaking backdrop for our wedding. The on-site cottage was spotless, very clean, and absolutely perfect for getting ready and staying in—it felt like a clean, peaceful retreat. Emily’s generosity extends further with full use of the garage decor, which saved us so much time and money on rentals. She also is a very talented florist. This place is truly a once in a lifetime Wedding venue opportunity. Lastly the venue over looks of course Sunflowers. They also have cows in the pasture, which was truly the icing on the cake for me as I love cows. They have been my favorite animal since I was very young. Emily knowing how much I expressed my love for cows she had them wait to release the cows to pasture to eat the field so the cows would be present for my wedding ceremony. We took the most incredible photos because of it. I felt like a Disney Princess honestly. It was the most perfect day of my entire life. ​We cannot recommend Emily and the Sunflower Hill venue enough. If you’re looking for a breathtaking setting combined with world-class support that turns your vision into reality, book Sunflower Hill immediately!
