Five Unique Wisconsin Wedding Venues
Wisconsin is home to some of the most beautiful and unique venues to consider as you plan your wedding day. Here are five favorites that we recommend to couples who are looking for something different for their day:
Camp Wandawega - Elkhorn, WI
This prohibition-era speakeasy turned glamping wonderland has endless potential for a true northwoods wedding embracing the very best Wisconsin has to offer.
Located outside of Milwaukee in Elkhorn, Wisconsin on Lake Wandawega, the property is outfitted with all you and your guests need for a magical wedding experience with a laidback, summer camp feel. The property includes a gorgeous and spacious home for the bridal party and a variety of cabins, tents, yurts and more for guests who want to make a weekend of it. If you love vintage details, a slow pace, and a one-of-a-kind experience, this is the place for you.
Stout’s Island Lodge - Birchwood, WI
Stout’s Island is a historic and romantic island resort on Red Cedar Lake in Birchwood, Wisconsin, just an hour from Eau Claire.
Accessible by a short ferry ride, the island offers a unique, destination wedding feel. The venue is home to lodge style buildings with lots of character and offers a variety of activities from croquet to billiards. Ceremonies on the South Lawn give guests panoramic views of the lake and the reception gatherings can be held in the lodge, under a tent, or on the patio depending on size. Stout’s Island is perfect for couples wanting an intimate, lakeside celebration highlighting Wisconsin’s natural beauty.
The George - Milwaukee, WI
For the tasteful and artistic couple, The George is an elegant, eclectic and sophisticated choice.
Located in the heart of Milwaukee, this venue offers a large ballroom adorned with chandeliers, contemporary art, and floor to ceiling draping. Also included is the Madcap Lounge which features a beautifully styled bar, library and billiard room, and the Celebration Suite for relaxing and getting ready. Every last nook and cranny of this space is stunningly designed to wow your guests and set the scene for a grand, refined, and formal celebration.
The Condensery - Osseo, WI
The Condensery is an expansive, industrial-style space that can accommodate more than 500 guests.
For those planning for a large guest list, this venue can allow plenty of room to spread out and celebrate, but can also be sectioned off to create a more intimate feel for smaller gatherings. It has vintage charms such as exposed brick, rough cut rafters, and preserved quarry tile floors, while offering all the modern amenities you look for in a wedding venue. The venue’s blank slate allows it to be tailored to many palettes and styles. Less than an hour from Eau Claire in Osseo, Wisconsin, The Condensery is easy to get to and yet such a hidden gem.
Villa Bellezza - Pepin, WI
This winery venue transports you and your guests to Italy with its traditional European architecture, piazza fountain, Roman-columned pavilion and stone towers.
Villa Bellezza is another gem, located just off the Great River Road in Pepin, Wisconsin. With many options for indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, this venue can be customized to the needs of any couple looking for an elegant, Old World destination setting close to home. And as a perk, the wine is award winning and world class.
We love when couples think outside the box for their wedding day and hope these ideas give you a glimpse into the amazing variety of venues that Wisconsin has to offer. If you’re getting married at any of these one-of-a-kind venues and need florals that are just as special, we’d love to talk flowers with you!
