“Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!”

“As soon as my wife saw Prairie Street, she knew immediately this was the venue she wanted. Neither of us is from Rockford and we have no real ties to the area. But Prairie Street Brewing Company is an absolute gem. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Every member of the staff, especially Visouda, was so accommodating and put up with our incessant questions. It was the perfect setting for our wedding; it gave us both a ceremony right by the beautiful river, and then offered the rustic beauty that we were looking for in a venue. Not to mention, it was priced much cheaper than every other venue we considered. And quite frankly, even if it’s not for a wedding or special occasion, everyone should just go there. Incredible atmosphere, fantastic food, terrific vibe throughout the whole place, especially on Thursdays when they have live music on the dock. I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular. Thank you to everyone at Prairie Street for giving us the perfect wedding day!”

“When we initially booked The Pavilion, we were working with someone who ended up moving on to better things and we were then in communication with Katie, who was friendly and above and beyond professional when it came to response time and the 50 million questions you have leading up to your big day. We worked with Staci for the Henrici’s catering, the food was phenomenal. She was great. She was friendly, she was respectful and kind leading up to even the week before with giving some sort of reassurance when needed as a busy bride. The 30 days before, we worked with Jill who was friendly at first but then eventually kind of became a headache and added so much more stress on me than I could ever imagine. If it wouldn’t have been such a huge financial loss, I probably would’ve cancelled my whole day. They split your “final payment” into two final payments instead of one. So that was really confusing, and we had no idea until the week OF our wedding that we still would’ve even owed money. There was miscommunication on attendance several times, the working staff was friendly but was pretty pushy through the night to where even bridesmaids and my photographer and DJ mentioned to me. We were supposed to end our night at 10:30, but it ended at 9. Overall, gorgeous venue, mostly friendly office staff, friendly but pushy catering staff. 3.5 out of 5 stars if I could based off that experience alone.”

Through the years we have had the privilege of being a part of beautiful Christmas Memories and have been honored to play a small role in your Weddings, Receptions, & Family Celebrations for over 40 years! The Lodge and Grounds of Williams Tree Farm have come a long way from their original state. We have completely remodeled our building making a log cabin front with a post and beam interior. Almost all of the wood in the building was grown and harvested from our older trees, which makes our Lodge very unique. A beautiful Field Stone Fire place greets you as you walk in. Homemade wooden top tables, field picked grapevine with lights, onsite parking, patio area for lawn games and natural trails throughout the grounds provide you with the perfect private celebration. We are located approximately 12 minutes from Beloit, WI, 25 minutes from Rockford, IL . Both of these amazing Cities have lots of options for your guest to be entertained and accommodations to stay!

“We chose Williams Tree Farm for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the decision. The team was easy to work with from start to finish, and their emails always came back quick so planning felt stress-free. What really stood out was how much space they have – everyone could spread out and enjoy the day without feeling cramped. On the wedding day itself, they had staff ready to help us set up and they nailed the timing for our ceremony, so everything flowed perfectly. If you're looking for a venue that's spacious and has a staff that actually cares about making your day run smoothly, Williams Tree Farm is worth checking out.”

“Old Coon Creek Inn was a fantastic venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was straightforward, timely, and non-ambiguous, which made it easy for us to stay on top of all the details. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the outdoor space was beautifully maintained, had a charming, rustic feel, and was very fairly priced. We were able to visit the venue a few times to help with decision-making and planning, and they worked closely with us on the table and chair setup to have everything ready when we arrived to add our personal touches. They also recommended a wonderful on-site coordinator who was invaluable in ensuring our day ran smoothly. The flexibility they provided with vendor choices for various areas was also greatly appreciated, and because we were able to bring in a lot of our own elements, it was very cost-efficient for us. We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else and are so grateful to the Old Coon Creek Inn team for helping make our special day perfect. Photos are by Laura Hamp from our wedding day (:”

“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!”

Pheasant Valley Barn

Brooklyn, WI
  • Up to 300 guests

We welcome you to Pheasant Valley Barn! The barn is nestled in a scenic valley in the middle of our farm. The Byrne family started dairy farming in Wisconsin after emigrating from Ireland in the 1870's. In 2003, we decided to renovate our 1890's barn. We added a new metal roof and restored the interior of the barn. To celebrate, we had a barn dance for Duane's parents' 40th anniversary. Thus began "The Party Barn". In the fall of 2018, our son Cory married his fiance, Jenny. It confirmed our idea of starting a barn venue and sharing our barn and farm with others. We have been asked many times, "Why don't you rent out this barn?" We have decided the time is right to diversify our farm and start this event business. We are so happy that we restored our barn. As more and more barns and farms are lost, our barn is preserved and now can be shared with others to create a memorable and special day for your event!

“My husband and I were married at Pheasant Valley Barn this past summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Lindsay, the owner, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, offering timely advice and insights that ensured our rustic, flower-filled wedding vision came to life seamlessly. The beautiful, open barn provided a warm, welcoming backdrop for our special day. Lindsay worked hard to infuse personal touches that made our wedding feel unique. From the first venue walkthrough to the final farewell, Lindsay was there to answer every question, calm every worry, and handle all the behind-the-scenes details with total professionalism. We were able to relax and soak in every magical moment knowing we were in very capable hands. I would enthusiastically recommend Pheasant Valley Barn to any engaged couple searching for a venue that delivers beauty, charm, and outstanding service.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to celebrate our wedding day. The Treasury was absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations in every way. The natural light throughout the space was gorgeous, and the beautiful exposed brick gave the venue so much character and warmth. We loved how open and expansive the room felt, it was spacious without ever feeling empty, and it gave us so much flexibility with our ceremony, reception, and décor. The bridal getting-ready area was also amazing. It was beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and such a special place to spend those final hours getting ready with my girls. Another huge plus was the reasonable cost for such a beautiful and unique venue. We also loved the bar selection and how many options were available for our guests. The entire space felt elevated and special while still being comfortable and inviting. All staff were exceptional. And a very special thank you to Emily, who was our point of contact and coordinator throughout the process. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was supportive, organized, incredibly responsive, and always willing to answer questions or help us work through the details. Planning a wedding comes with plenty of moving pieces, and having someone like Emily in our corner made such a difference. She truly helped make the entire experience feel easier and more enjoyable. The Treasury gave us the perfect backdrop for a day we will never forget. We are so grateful we chose this venue and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique, spacious, and well-run wedding venue! Thanks again!!
