Words can’t express how thankful I am for The Garden’s Wedding Center. My husband and I got married in June of 2023 and we are still overflowing with joy and gratitude as we think back on our wedding day - the absolute best day of our lives. The hard work, compassion, and pure dedication Amanda, Johan, and The Gardens team put towards making our day seamless, personal, and God-honoring was truly a gift. The Garden’s made our wedding day the best day of our lives, but it was the year-long wedding planning process that gave me such peace of mind leading up to our special day. I have no hesitation when I say that Amanda was the hands and feet behind our day. She was approachable, quick-to respond, gentle, kind, and thoughtful every single time that I communicated with her. Amanda, please know that you made me the happiest, most serene bride on my wedding day and I hope that you know how cherished your work is for The Gardens and every bride-to-be that you work with. If Amanda was the hands and feets, Johan was the muscle. If we had an idea, Johan found a way, made it happen, and made it happen with purpose. Johan welcomed my family with open arms and shared his absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue with us on multiple visits. Thank you Johan for creating such a special gem of a space that truly felt like home to us. The venue was timeless, beautiful, welcoming - every one of our cottagecore chic dreams came true at The Garden’s Wedding Center. I left not only as a wife welcomed into my husband’s family, but feeling as if I was a part of The Garden’s Wedding Center family - even if for just a day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! With abounding love, The Murrays

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.

Big Rock Creek was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the very first inquiry, they were prompt, willing, and accommodating in all of our communications. On the day of the event, their quaint, clean, and friendly venue and staff made everything run smoothly. Their day-of coordinator ensured all the little details were taken care of, and they even provided coolers to keep our flowers and cakes fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend Big Rock Creek to any couples looking for a charming and stress-free wedding experience.

The formal gardens and picturesque pond complement the still farmed agricultural land, wooded areas while the 1910 Victorian Mansion radiates luxury in exquisite details and full bridal suite. The granary, turned groom's quarters is complete with game tables, and lounge area while our fully restored 1860's post beam construction barn pairs historic detail with your most desired comfortable conveniences and elegant finishes.

Wow, where do I even begin. When my husband and I stumbled across Halverson House and set up a tour, the instant we pulled in the drive we were blown away by the beauty and overall comfort of what this place has to offer. I remember stepping out of the car and instantly getting goosebumps stunned by all the beautiful scenery. Joi, Mike & their amazing family & staff made us feel like part of the family right away. They made sure every single detail of our wedding was perfect, and we cannot thank them enough because our day was nothing less than that. The entire day was completely stress-free! They truly care about you, and their passion for bringing families together is just so amazing. They have created an absolute gorgeous venue and have worked so hard for this. We seriously cannot thank you all enough, for all your hard work and love. If you are looking for a place to get married, THIS IS THE PLACE!

Everyone involved in hosting at Prevailing Winds Lodge are the most amazing humans ever! Due to covid, we had to walk away our wedding plans in 2020. Steve and Jen, along with members from the Madison community, generously rallied together to host a dream wedding giveaway for couples dealing with this hardship. We were the lucky recipients and are eternally grateful. They made the whole process as stress free as possible and treated us as family from day one. Karo worked closely with us during the planning process and is a pro at what she does. The venue itself is out of a story book and the lodge is a home away from home. Anyone choosing this venue should know that the their dream wedding is possible. Prevailing Winds Lodge is the perfect place to start your journey.

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!!)

We got to use their ballroom for our dinner and we had a private bar. They also let us set up some decor on their patio which was connected to the ballroom. I could not have asked for it to go any better. I would do it all over again if I could! Just kidding, planning a wedding sucks but we had a great time at their venue!
