Our wedding at Oak Hill Farm was an absolute dream! From our first communication with Becky, she was thorough, fast, kind, and detailed in answering all of our questions. On the big day, everything was set up exactly how we wanted it. It was perfect! Becky and her staff were so accommodating, helpful, and nice, making sure the event ran smoothly. As a bride, they treated me like the most important person in the world. The venue was breathtaking - I felt like I was in a real life fairytale!

We had our wedding at Ludlow Mansion in Monroe WI and it was fantastic. Penny and Greg are great and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our guests continued to comment throughout the night how the venue was beautiful. Our wedding was in April and they were so accommodating to moving the ceremony to be inside instead of outside the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend going with the three day package as it made everything less stressful. I cannot say enough how happy we were to have our wedding at Ludlow and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for that all in one place for their weddings!

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.
