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.

Our wedding at Big Rock Creek was an absolute dream come true! The venue is gorgeous—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the breathtaking scenery and the peaceful, natural beauty of the property. From the picturesque lake to the charming animals and open spaces, it was like stepping into a fairytale. There was truly something for everyone to enjoy. Guests walked the trails, visited the animals, played yard games, cozied up by the bonfire, and even enjoyed a wagon ride and live music. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was an unforgettable experience for all ages! We chose the platinum package, which included full-weekend lodging for our families. It was the perfect way to bring everyone together and start our new chapter. We even stayed an extra day to soak in the peaceful surroundings and were lucky enough to see deer, swans, eagles—and even a bear! The staff at Big Rock Creek was phenomenal—so friendly, responsive, and accommodating every step of the way. From setup to send-off, everything ran smoothly thanks to their support and care. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical place to say “I do.” Thank you, Big Rock Creek, for making our wedding weekend absolutely unforgettable!

Old Coon Creek Inn was a fantastic venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was straightforward, timely, and non-ambiguous, which made it easy for us to stay on top of all the details. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the outdoor space was beautifully maintained, had a charming, rustic feel, and was very fairly priced. We were able to visit the venue a few times to help with decision-making and planning, and they worked closely with us on the table and chair setup to have everything ready when we arrived to add our personal touches. They also recommended a wonderful on-site coordinator who was invaluable in ensuring our day ran smoothly.

Our wedding at Four Winds was perfect. It is a beautiful facility that can host both indoor and outdoor activities seamlessly. Four Winds treated us very well, and it was easy to plan our wedding with them. Four Winds provided tables and chairs, in addition to the beautiful furniture they have inside and on the patio already. It was easy for our vendors to set up food. And the drinks that Jay designed for us were amazing. The day of our wedding, Four Winds helped keep water pitchers full and spaces clean. I've been at several weddings that didn't have refreshed water pitchers or other services, and Four Winds anticipated our needs before we even noticed them. And we've gotten so many compliments on the venue since our wedding!

Julie and Dave (and their team) have brought a great venue to the area. They are such wonderful hosts, and truly have the mentality that coming together with other vendors to make a couple's dreams come to life is the ultimate goal. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every event, and look forward to more in the years to come.

Can’t say enough about the beauty of this venue, Gorgeous view of the countryside looking down upon the Wisconsin River. If weather doesn’t cooperate, ceremony can be moved inside the remodeled barn which is beautiful. Reception area is spacious with easy access to outdoor seating and activities. Food was excellent. However, it was the staff that really shined. Servers, bartenders and chefs were all top notch and helped to make this an unforgettable evening. Mark & Bethanie are the managers and responded quickly to any and all questions we had leading up to my daughter’s wedding. They made sure that everything flowed smoothly the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Vennebu Hill to anyone planning an event.

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.

Rustic Manor was a lovely wedding venue. Our guests loved the spacious grounds, easy parking, large bathrooms, and classy rustic interior. We loved the large bridal and groomsmen suites, the payment process, the venue setting up chairs for ceremony and reception, and the professionalism of staff throughout the planning process. We did not love how expensive it was for the add ons. For a Saturday wedding in “wedding season” we paid almost 10k just for the venue and venue-specific add ons. This included string lights, nice tables, water service at dinner, use of the Photo Booth, etc. The Photo Booth did not include a guest book to put the extra slides (which we had seen at another wedding at this venue), which we didn’t realize until the night of when it was too late. The bar bill (180 guests) was about 6k. Their preferred dinner vendors were expensive and didn’t have many vegetarian options. The least expensive “preferred food vendor” was 20k for 180 guests. We *really* didn’t love that they didn’t have any signs at the bar. We were expected to purchase signs and write out the drink list, hours, and rules of the bar. Our guests did not love that there wasn’t a bartender on scene to get even water or soda prior to the ceremony. During planning, they encouraged stopping open bar during dinner, so our guests had nothing to drink for the toasts. They did not have a sound system going outside, so half of our guests were outdoors and missed all of the announcements. Our wedding was beautiful, but for a venue that “prefers” an event costing 50k, we expected more.
