BOOK 10 SOUTH. At our initial tour we were so amazing with the venue its self but were turned off after doing a cost estimate with one of the staff member (it was a estimate of us adding in every little thing we might want plus tax). But as we toured other venues we kept comparing them to 10 South and found that the price was scary but it was honest and after doing the math we realized we would be spending the same at any other venue. The staff at 10 South are on top of their game. They developed great payment plan. Have clear and quick communication. They know all things wedding, so most of my wedding planning was from their recommendations. The staff also encourages you to make the wedding all about you so they are flexible with decorating and set up. The day of our wedding. I can’t get over how helpful the staff was. Every time I thought something had to get done, I found one of the staff members had done it already. The staff members made it clear they were there to help from someone holding my dress as I walked down the stairs to the bartenders remembering my drinking and making as I walked up to the bar. The next day the staff had our stuff packed up so nicely that pick-up was smooth, even hung over. We had guest travel from all over Wisconsin and various states and all were so impressed by the beauty of the venue. Our day was perfect and I full heartily believe it would have not been had we booked anywhere else. 10 South holds a special place in my heart.

We had our wedding here in April 2026 and had a lovely experience. The staff is very helpful and detail oriented and the space is beautiful. I would recommend!

Highly Recommend!!
I can’t say enough about the incredible service we received from 10 South! Sara gave me our initial tour and walked us through all the details and logistics—she was so friendly and completely sold me on the venue. Megan and Hannah were also incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I had SO many questions and didn’t purchase a coordinator package, yet the staff still made sure everything came together perfectly. Not a single detail was missed! DJ Terry was INCREDIBLE! He read the room perfectly, adjusted on the fly, kept everyone engaged, and knew exactly how to turn the party up. Our dance floor was everything we hoped for!

Book at 10 South - You won't regret it!
From our first conversation with 10 South, we knew we had found the right venue. The team responded quickly to our questions and genuinely listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. When rain forced us to move our ceremony indoors, the space was so beautiful that we didn't miss being outside at all. The getting-ready suites were spacious and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed, plus they made perfect backdrops for photos. Having access to their in-house services like bar, linens, DJs, and coordination all in one place made planning so much easier. Hannah, our day-of coordinator, kept everything running smoothly and handled all the behind-the-scenes details with expertise. We also loved using their recommended vendor list to find our caterer, photographer, and florist—each one was incredible. One thing we wish we'd known upfront was the bar policy, since we didn't realize shots weren't available or that all drinks had to be mixed and served over ice during package selection. Overall, 10 South made our wedding day special and stress-free.

10South was better than imagined!
Loved our 10South wedding experience!! The venue was perfect for our 175 person wedding in September. The patio was beautiful for our outdoor ceremony, and I loved the indoor/outdoor cocktail hour option. The team at 10South was lovely to work with from beginning to end, and I'm so happy with our experience. They were very professional, and had a lot of great resources to help plan and visualize the day. The actual day-of was a breeze, and we loved having Megan as our day-of coordinator (she made everything go as planned, and my family could relax and hang out during the getting ready without worrying about the set-up). I would 100% recommend 10South as a wedding venue to others!
Stephen Kelley•Nov 6, 2025Thank you so much, Jenni! We’re thrilled your 10 South wedding was everything you imagined and more. Megan and the team loved helping your day run smoothly, and it’s wonderful to hear your ceremony, cocktail hour, and celebration were such a perfect fit for your guests. It's been our pleasure to help create your beautiful wedding vision, and we're sending all the love from the whole team here at 10 South! Cheers to happily ever after!
