Yes. Emerald Ridge Weddings & Receptions has operated in Menomonie for 40 years and has earned Couples' Choice Awards based on verified client reviews. They have served couples from across the Chippewa Valley, all 50 states, and internationally, building a reputation grounded in consistent, family-oriented service.
Couples throughout the Chippewa Valley choose Emerald Ridge because of its four-decade track record and genuinely full-service model. The team handles logistics, coordinates with families, and keeps stress low — which is exactly what couples from Menomonie, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and beyond have come to rely on for major celebrations.
Three things stand out: 40 years of experience navigating real wedding-day challenges, a full-service approach that covers everything from catering to event coordination, and a family-oriented culture that treats every couple as individuals rather than bookings. The Couples' Choice Award confirms that difference through honest client feedback.
Yes. Over 40 years, the Emerald Ridge team has coordinated weddings for couples with large families, multi-day events, and guests traveling from across the country and internationally. Their full-service model means they manage the moving parts so families can focus on celebrating rather than coordinating.
The best first step is reaching out to schedule a walkthrough of the venue. The Emerald Ridge team will discuss your vision, guest count, catering needs, and timeline in a low-pressure conversation. With 40 years of experience in Menomonie, they can quickly help you understand what is possible and what will work best for your day.
Thank you for asking! Because we hold a Wisconsin alcohol license, all alcoholic beverages served on the property must be purchased through our venue. Unfortunately, outside alcohol - including beer, wine, liquor, champagne, or homemade beverages - cannot be brought in. We're happy to help you select bar options that fit your guest count, preferences, and budget.
Yes, each of our venues has its own dedicated on-site parking lot for your guests. Parking is conveniently located at the venue, so guests will not need to find off-site parking or street parking.
Our wedding season currently runs May through October. At this time, we do not host weddings in January, February, March, April, November or December. We are excited to be adding a conference center in the future, which will allow us to offer additional options for meetings, celebrations, and other special events during the off-peak months. We would be happy to share more information as those plans become available.
Our peak wedding season runs from May through October. These months are especially popular because of warmer weather, outdoor scenery, and the variety of seasonal ceremony and reception options available.
Yes, all our facilities are wheelchair accessible. We have accessible entrances and accommodations to help ensure guests using wheelchairs or other mobility devices can comfortably access the venue. If you have a guest with specific accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can help make their arrival and experience as smooth as possible.
