We could not have asked for a better wedding! The Gardens Wedding Center, from start to finish, went above and beyond for us in every possible way. The staff was so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process; every question we had was answered quickly and thoughtfully, which made planning so much less stressful. On our wedding day, they took care of every detail so we were truly able to relax and enjoy every moment. The food was absolutely amazing, and even went out of their way to make my husband’s favorite dish per our request, even though it wasn’t on the menu. They always made sure our requests came first, which made us feel so valued and cared for. We are so grateful to The Gardens for making our day so special, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares.

I would highly recommend Big Rock Creek if you are looking for a rustic, barn wedding. The venue itself was beautiful and although it rained the morning of our wedding and we weren’t able to have the ceremony outside, we were able to make the bottom level of the barn worked for our ceremony. The venue’s animals were a hit with the guests during cocktail hour and after the reception. They also ended up having a slip and slide and bounce house that some of my little cousins used. They had a blast and definitely burned some extra energy. They had a list of preferred vendors and I would highly recommend Deutschland’s pasta bar - all of our guests were obsessed with the Italian sausage that they make homemade. We also used Complete Wedding for our DJ and Photo which worked well as they already knew the venue. We would also highly recommend pizza for a late night snack. For us it was 30 per pizza which is hefty but they tasted AMAZING so it was totally worth it. As far as logistics go, we had a 200 person wedding and for every extra 10 people over 200 they would charge an extra 100. So we made sure to stick to 200 people. We needed wedding insurance as well a 1,500 damage deposit. I think 200 was the perfect amount. We declined renting any of the permanent structures as those costed quite a bit but did rent campsites which was so fun! The groomsmen went up the night before to camp and hangout around the bonfires and then the rest of the wedding party and some family members stayed the night of the wedding. The staff was very communicative, and flexible as we waited to the last minute to decide to do an inside vs outside ceremony because of the weather. Barb the day of host was GREAT! Shauna was prompt in all of her communication and was very positive and supportive. The bartenders were also so fun and kept up with the orders all night.

We had the most gorgeous wedding at St. John’s Northwestern Academy! The chapel was an absolutely beautiful and intimate setting that made our ceremony feel so special. It comfortably accommodated our 150 guests, and we received so many compliments on the charming and historic atmosphere. The campus itself is incredibly scenic — from the classic architecture to the lush grounds — which made it a dream location for photos.

Door County holds such a special place in my husband and I’s hearts and from the day we got engaged we knew we wanted to get married at the Northern Haus. From the first initial tour to our wedding day we fell more and more in love with the venue and the people. Sara and Megan went above and beyond to make sure that our day was absolutely perfect for us and helped us through every step of the wedding planning process. Hiring them as our day of coordinators was one of the best decisions we made, helping take so much stress of my husband and I’s plates, from set up the day of to constantly checking in on both of us to make sure we didn’t need anything throughout the busy day. Our family and friends were simply in awe of the ceremony location and reception space, every aspect of the venue is stunning and we will never regret choosing to get married at the Northern Haus. Northern Haus provides the most perfect backdrop for the most beautiful photos. Nick was incredible behind the bar and all of our guests raved about him and the fast bar service. The professionalism, level of expertise and attention to detail at the Northern Haus is unmatched. Every aspect of our day was simply perfect and we can’t thank Sara, Megan and Nick enough for all their hard work that went into our special day. We can’t wait to come back to visit year after year

Barnwood was a wonderful venue for our wedding! We chose Barnwood because it was close to downtown but still offered a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, and that’s what we got! Julie was great to work with throughout the process. It was nice to have the flexibility of ceremony location, especially with the weather changing last minute on our wedding day. The farmhouse provided easy lodging for our family. Julie and Kayla executed our vision perfectly with the set-up of our decor and coordinating the day. It was nice that we could add on a champagne toast and dinner wine service to the standard bar packages, and our guests loved the bartenders. We also appreciated that Barnwood was flexible with our preferences (for other vendors, timing, use of space, etc.) while still being engaged to help make sure it all worked. I highly recommend hosting your wedding here!

The Everett resort was a picturesque place for our wedding reception and wedding weekend! Sunset coming into the sunroom (reception hall) provided a stunning backdrop for dinner, photos, and an evening to remember. Jimmy, Juli, and Moe were excellent hosts, supporters, and friends. We met with them to discuss details, particularly about table arrangements, catering, stays throughout the resort, bar options, and overall flow and timing of the day. Because of Jim and Juli’s experiences with events, our meetings were very helpful to determine realistic expectation and to have a great time! Our wedding party chose to arrive via pontoon - that was a blast and grateful for weather cooperation! Weather worked well to be able to get the ladies ready on the porch at The Marina Bar overlooking the water! Photos at the top under the pavilion were a great place to showcase the wedding party and help cue everyone to gather for dinner. We moved a few tables out to create a great space for people to enjoy the dance floor. Leftovers from the caterer we kept with us in a cabin on property and used for gathering the next day in the main Lodge. Overall fantastic weekend. It was wonderful to have a “Northwoods destination wedding“ where guests could stay at the resort and for the weekend/week! (Hard to pick only ten photos to share!!)
