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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at Four Winds Farm and it was fantastic. We were able to setup and do a rehearsal on Friday and clean everything up on Sunday. Kinzie was very easy and professional to work with. She answered all questions in a very timely manner. We had our ceremony and reception in the upstairs loft. The Four Winds team did a fantastic job in flipping and setting the tables for dinner. We took pictures in the loft upstairs which is gorgeous. Our wedding was in November and we were still able to get some beautiful outdoor shots by the various trees, rolling prairies, and sheep barn. We were able to pick our beverage package with Four Winds and they did a great job keeping the bars stocked upstairs and downstairs. I highly recommended a wedding or any event gathering at Four Winds Farm.
