Boone County Museum of History 

5.0

Belvidere, IL
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $125

The Grand Gallery sits next to the Museum’s exhibitions for easy access to our historical spaces. The Gallery holds up to 100 seated guests! It provides a presentation center, surround sound, and a bar space. It is a great location for anyone looking for a unique space to hold their special event.

We had our wedding reception at the Boone County Museum of History on July 6 and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process! I grew up going to the museum and we had guests coming up to us all night telling us it was their first time there and how excited they were to see the museum for the first time and how they wanted to come back and spend more time there, and people saying they wanted to spend all night looking through the exhibits. The gallery space was perfect for our 125 guests and there was plenty of space to set up our buffet table, dessert table, and the bar on top of that. There was even enough room for a dance space near the entryway! The museum staff were absolutely the best throughout planning, answering all of our questions right away and helping us to figure out the layout when the time came. We were able to have plenty of personalized touches throughout our decor and our setup, and the staff even allowed us to set up a personalized scavenger hunt throughout the exhibits to find items we'd chosen based on our relationship. The Boone County Museum of History is 100% the best value for a wedding venue you could find in the area and is an absolutely gorgeous and special venue for any of your events, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Belvidere-Rockford area!

Holiday Home Camp 

5.0

Williams Bay, WI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

Holiday Home Camp (HHC) is more than a ‘day of’ wedding venue. Instead, it is a magical space that caters to families as they come together to celebrate what being a family, new or old, truly means. HHC is truly a unique property with so many options to make your guests' experience a memorable one that will be talked about for generations. We believe in “comfortable elegance” which isn’t simply a tagline, but instead a standard throughout all that we offer. Comfort to us means a stress free experience for you and your guests from planning, to the day of your wedding and even afterwards. Holiday Home Camp was founded in 1887 and is America's oldest acredited children's camp. Our grounds include 26 wooded acres overlooking Lake Geneva. We are run by the Lake Geneva Fresh Air Association and are accredited by the American Camp Association. Our grounds are welcoming to all guests and potential couples.

Holiday Home Camp is very dear to my heart, as it is where I met my husband and where we held our wedding. The venue is breathtaking, with magnificent views and newly renovated facilities, making it the perfect backdrop for our big day. I cannot express how incredible the experience was; it surpassed all our expectations and was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical and unique place to host their wedding.

The Creamery 201 location is by far one of the most beautiful venues you could choose to get married at in Wisconsin. As a professional photographer, I jump for joy when I get to photograph a wedding at this venue. You can feel the passion they put into every small detail for their couples. They truly thought of every aspect of the day from their gorgeous bridal suite, to the ceremony location draped with lights, natural lighting and clean coloring to the absolute best reception vibe. Their staff goes above and beyond working with not only their couples but other vendors to create a very clean and smooth experience for their clients. They are a 10/10 in my book!

Pheasant Valley Barn 

5.0

Brooklyn, WI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

We welcome you to Pheasant Valley Barn! The barn is nestled in a scenic valley on the "back farm", away from the daily activities of our dairy operation. The Byrne family started dairy farming in Wisconsin after emigrating from Ireland in the 1870's. In 2003, we decided to renovate our 1890's barn. We added a new metal roof and restored the interior of the barn. To celebrate, we had a barn dance for Duane's parents' 40th anniversary. Thus began "The Party Barn". In the fall of 2018, our son Cory married his fiance, Jenny. It confirmed our idea of starting a barn venue and sharing our barn and farm with others. We have been asked many times, "Why don't you rent out this barn?" We have decided the time is right to diversify our farm and start this event business. We are so happy that we restored our barn. As more and more barns and farms are lost, our barn is preserved and now can be shared with others to create a memorable and special day for your event!

My husband and I were married at Pheasant Valley Barn this past summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Lindsay, the owner, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, offering timely advice and insights that ensured our rustic, flower-filled wedding vision came to life seamlessly. The beautiful, open barn provided a warm, welcoming backdrop for our special day. Lindsay worked hard to infuse personal touches that made our wedding feel unique. From the first venue walkthrough to the final farewell, Lindsay was there to answer every question, calm every worry, and handle all the behind-the-scenes details with total professionalism. We were able to relax and soak in every magical moment knowing we were in very capable hands. I would enthusiastically recommend Pheasant Valley Barn to any engaged couple searching for a venue that delivers beauty, charm, and outstanding service.

The Lussier Family Heritage Center 

5.0

Madison, WI
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,750

Located 10 minutes from downtown Madison, our stunning venue offers the perfect space for your wedding. Our beautiful, lodge-style facility is surrounded by 500 acres of natural areas and features a large banquet hall, an open air solar shelter, spacious lobby with fireplace, a balcony overlooking the prairie, fire circle, 300 year old oak tree and a rustic barn exterior. The natural setting and walking trails offer plenty of opportunities for unique wedding photography.

We were married at the Lussier Family Heritage Center in October and it was perfect! We were looking for something in our budget that let us bring in our own food and beverages. They were so easy to work with and the flexibility was incredible. We loved being married under the Heritage Oak tree but there were so many other options for ceremony locations that people could chose from (old barn backdrop, back patio next to the prairie, indoors, etc). My favorite part was hearing hundreds of cranes calling in the distance as they roosted for the night. If you are looking for a beautiful, natural setting and want something where you can get creative with your catering and beverage service, this is your place!
