My spouse and I had the literal wedding of our dreams. The Gardens were able to accommodate things we wanted, like family style dinner, long tables, great sound quality and an incredibly beautiful outdoor space. Getting married here was easy, the whole team communicated so quickly and respectfully. Being a queer couple, it was great to be in a space we could be fully ourselves. I don't think either of us could have anticipated anything better. The food was delicious, the venue was gorgeous, the people were great and the day was perfect.

We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!

The Best Place at Pabst was so easy to work with, affordable, flexible drink packages, lots of fun amenities, natural atmosphere and decor means you don’t need to do much decorating of your own, I could go on and on. Our guests could not stop raving about how unique, intimate and lovely the space was. We used the Blue Ribbon Hall which included a balcony space which we used to give our guests the opportunity to play classic WI card games; Euchre, Sheepshead, cribbage etc… It was a great, separate space to hang out but still be a part of the celebration and watch the dancing. The staff even accommodated our last minute request to play the Bucks playoff game on the projector during dinner! Our wedding included lots of guests from out of town and out of state and we really wanted a venue that embodied Milwaukee culture. This. Was. IT.

We loved our beautiful fall wedding at iron works. We lived out of state (but I'm originally from the area) and the team worked with us long distance via email and phone to get the details together for the event. After shopping around I soon realized this was the BEST spot to have a wedding in the stateline area that is connected to a hotel. There's nothing classy in Rockford, it's all run down and gross but Iron works was classy and had the right vibe and price wasn't over the top (It was still expensive but palatable). I will menton we had our actual ceremony at Nicholas Conservatory in Rockford which was amazing but Iron Works was thee place for the reception. The place is industrial but has sexy vibes with the leather and strong iron beams with a nod to the city's past. The event space was beautiful and still looks new and clean and great shape. Love the details in the decor, It was a great canvas to work with. The view from the river was lovely and loved having the outdoor space to hang out in too, especially for those who smoked. The food was wonderful. Was a little worried about the steak, the first initial tasting was decent but thinking about serving steak for such a big crowd we were skeptical it would turn out but everyone's steak was edible and warm, just cooked perfectly, it is a steak house after all. We were glad we upgraded to the filet too. We were super happy with the appetizers and main course and everything was yummy. The servers were on it. Maybe too on it, I would set my drink down and it would disappear. But overall very pleased with our experience. Everyone we worked with was polite and nice from the servers to the managers in charge, we were treated with kindness and respect. I did fly out to come view it in person just to see how they would treat me and they passed the test.. Would have been nice to know about The booking situation with blocking off rooms that another wedding venue reserved rooms so then some of our party had to go to an air Bnb instead of everyone staying there, which was the whole point of doing it there so people didn't have to drive after the reception. Also wish we could have danced later than midnight but it was in our contract to end the night at midnight. Other than that very happy our experience. It was a beautiful wedding, it went by so fast but it was an unforgettable evening. Thanks for everything.

  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
I feel like I have been waiting two years to write this review with how much I love Northern Haus and how excited we were to have our wedding there. Ever since the day we first toured back in 2022, to the day of our wedding, last Saturday August 24th, 2024, Sara, Nick, and Megan were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting and touring of the venue, to the countless calls and emails during the planning process, to the day of coordination, we were always given outstanding service, professionalism, friendliness, and quick responses. The venue itself is absolutely stunning! You can easily pair your wedding vision with the white barn, vaulted ceilings, and luxurious accommodations. It truly shines when you pull up the front walk, continue through the foyer, to the reception hall, to the gorgeous bar, to the covered porch, all the way up to the ceremony space - so beautiful. Every single detail was thought of and nothing went unnoticed when Sara and Nick built the venue. We had seen the venue being built years ago and could only hope that our wedding could some day be hosted here, and once we pulled up for that first tour, we looked at each other and knew it was the one! Sara was our day of coordinator and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible she made our day. As the bride who planned literally the entire day and every detail, I did not have one single worry with having Sara and her team in charge. If anything went wrong at all, I had no idea and that is exactly how it should be. The day was smooth, seamless, beautiful, and so well executed, I was thoroughly impressed the whole time. When you host your wedding with Northern Haus, the team provides a recommended list of vendors to work with, which was very helpful. Professionalism was very important to us when picking vendors, so to know that Sara had a preferred list of vendors with proven track records really made our vendor selection process easy. If you love Door County, or if you've never been and you want to fall in love with Door County, Northern Haus is the best venue and Sara and Megan are the best team to work with, hands down. I'm so sad our day is over, but I could not imagine it happening anywhere else but at Northern Haus. We can't wait to come back and visit again in the future.

I am blessed to have known the women of Creamery 201 for several years now, but even more so that I had the pleasure of getting married at their beautiful venue last weekend. My husband and I had the pleasure of working closely with Katie, Abby, and Libby throughout the wedding planning process. They truly made it so easy. There was great communication (answering my million and one questions), several meetings leading up to the big day, and assistance with decor through their decor store. On the big day, Katie and her team were attentive and helped keep everything on track. They truly treat every couple that walks through their doors like family and go above and beyond to provide such great service. My husband and I are so thrilled with our experience and couldn't be more thankful for Katie and the rest of the Creamery 201 Staff!! -- The Ehrke's

I cannot rave about my experience at Hamlet Creek enough! I was really looking for an “all in one” type of venue so I booked ceremony, reception, photography, and used their decor services as well. I LOVED everything about my experience. Being from out of town the decor services were so amazing - no only was Patience able to bring my vision to life but it was also so helpful to bring less stuff to Green Bay. All of my guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and we got ready on site too to keep it simple. 10/10 recommend booking your wedding with them! Chris & Patience put their heart and soul into the space and you can tell when you’re there. Highly recommend booking all your services with them!

We loved having our wedding at The Grain Loft. The property is beautiful and it is kept in pristine condition. The ease of having the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance all at one place made the wedding far less stressful. There was plenty of space for the kids to play outside, have yard games set up, walk around and enjoy the landscape, or hang out on the patio and chat. Guests were in awe of the beauty of the property. We also loved spending the weekend in Algoma. So many hidden gems. Thursday we had our rehearsal dinner at Three Eleven Bar & Bistro, which was excellent. Friday we had a "welcome event," for guests staying the weekend, at Son's of Skaliwags where we hosted a traditional southern shrimp boil. We had so many compliments on the food! The wedding was Saturday and on Sunday we met friends and family Smashed on the Rocks for one of their massive bloody marys! It was a perfect weekend and we can't wait to spend more time in Algoma (the gateway to Door County & a best kept secret)! Couple of things I was not a huge fan off... The venues' wedding coordinator was difficult to work with at times. Her communication style was abrasive when challenged or asked for further clarifying details. For example, my wedding planner asked for a bottle of water (prior to when the open bar started) during the preparations, and she was told she would have to purchase it. Mind you, we paid for an open bar for the duration of the entire event, costing us over 6,000.00... and they couldn't give the wedding coordinator a bottle of water. Come on now, that's just tacky and poor customer service. Another thing worth mentioning.... There is no bathroom off of the bridal suite upstairs. Therefore if the bride needs to use the bathroom before the wedding, you have to walk into the main area where guests are gathered. Not ideal, but certainly not a deal breaker. Incidentals. I was required to give my credit card for "incidentals" that would automatically be charged to my card at the end of the night. I don't think this is appropriate. If there are incidentals, I should be allowed to review a bill of such items and then make the payment following any necessary discussion. Thankfully we were not billed for any incidentals, but if a guest had broke something, I was told I would have been automatically charged.

On the big day, they had many friendly workers on hand to help set up, coordinate vendors, and make sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. The beautiful farm setting provided a perfect rustic backdrop for our pictures and the event space was large enough to accommodate all our guests comfortably. We felt the venue was an excellent value for the quality of service and lovely atmosphere they provided. If you're looking for a warm, family-run venue that will help your wedding vision come to life, I highly recommend Fat Apple Farm!

The Factory on Barclay was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, the team at FOB was responsive, helpful, and confident in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and super spacious. As our details came together, I started to worry the industrial look wasn't matching the rest of my wedding style, but we added some drapery to soften the space and it was PERFECT. The brick, high ceilings, drapes, florals, beautiful chandeliers... it was stunning. The big bar by the dance floor was an absolute hit, and we were able to use the outdoor patio space to have a mini golf course during our reception! Mei-Lyn was extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions or meet with us as we planned. Whenever we asked to come take another walk through of the venue, Mei-Lyn was available and happy to help. The Factory on Barclay was truly one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We got so many comments from guests who loved the venue as much as we did.

I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to have our wedding ceremony and reception at the Box MKE. The location was a dream, and it's truly a perfect "blank slate" venue. The exposed brick and greenery wall are lovely, and lend themselves well to either muted decor that lets the industrial feel shine, or the ability to go wild with your own decor ideas. The space was ideal, and Jamie, the event coordinator, made everything so easy. She helped us with our layout as well as coordinating all of our vendors, and even doing decor set up. While the venue was great, working with Jamie was even better. If I could give The Box more than 5 stars, I would. We definitely chose the right venue, and I highly recommend The Box MKE for weddings, charity events, or large celebrations.

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Dance floor not included
Having our wedding at Gather was the best decision ever! From the moment we toured the venue, we fell in love with it and knew we needed to get married here. We were sold on the floor to ceiling windows, the patio space, and the option to host our cocktail hour at the adjoining bar, MECCA. Mikayla was a breeze to work with, communicating everything clearly and promptly. Leading up the wedding, the only minor hiccup we had was a lack of communication/ response from the catering coordinator through Levy. It was frustrating to feel out of the know in important information regarding our food/ drink and other logistical things through the venue. After clearing it up, we were able to go into our wedding weekend confident that everything would be perfect! The day of staff was INCREDIBLE. Our guests talk about how friendly and fun they all were, especially the bartenders. Having an efficient, fun stuff is so important to making an event flow smoothly. Event access started at 12pm on our contract, but we were graciously granted an early access time to set up, which was very helpful. All of our vendors had no problem accessing the event space the day of, and it was easy loading decor in and out of the space. Mali did a great job day of, coordinating everything through the venue, have to give a shout out for how fast our dinner service was with 180 people! If we could go back, we would book our wedding at Gather a thousand times again!
