Our event ran smoothly and their staff exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend getting one of their coordinator packages because it will help you and them plan your big day. Megan Westrup was our coordinator and she made sure every single detail was taken care of, she also made a few fun suggestions that made our event unique and special! One of our many favorite things was that they have the getting-ready suites onsite which was a big plus for us and our wedding party. We also got their DJ service and Terry and Preston were amazing! My main concern was having a DJ that could incorporate both of our cultures (American and Mexican) and they totally got our vibe. Our guests spent the whole night dancing!

My husband and I were married at the Beloit Club in May of 2023 and we could not have imagined a more perfect venue for the two of us. My husband's grandparents have been members for a very long and we just loved eating her with their delicious food and beautiful venue. You do not need to be a member to be married here! With that being said, we have always enjoyed the food here and it did not disappoint on our wedding day! We were able to customize our meals for ourselves and for our guests. All event staff were very attentive to every little detail since we booked our date to the last minute. They helped make the wedding flow as smoothly as possible. The club house is spectacular, they are so accommodating, our pictures turned out beautifully and all of our guests complimented the venue and the food. The Beloit Club has plenty of great hotels near by and I found them to be reasonable in terms of cost in wedding planning. We absolutely loved this place for our wedding!

I had the opportunity to capture a wedding at this stunning campus. The ceremony took place at Fisher Memorial Chapel. The chapel was incredibly beautiful, with its unique architecture and serene atmosphere. After the ceremony, the celebration moved to Regents Hall, a charming venue with magnificent windows all around. The natural light streaming through the windows added a touch of magic to the reception. The hall's location on the campus, surrounded by rolling hills, provided the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments. If you're looking to create a memorable and visually stunning wedding album. I highly recommend considering this campus. I suggest inquiring about a tour to see it for yourself and experience the beauty firsthand.

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.

The Riviera Ballroom was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was responsive, timely, and very well-managed. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - stately and elegant, providing the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner. Our guests raved about the intimate ceremony space and the lovely dinner area, which allowed for great conversation throughout the evening. As the bride, I wish there had been a private space for me to get ready and wait before the ceremony, as the guests were able to see me beforehand. Additionally, some of our guests mentioned that parking was a bit tricky. Overall though, the Riviera Ballroom exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly memorable.

When my (now) husband and I got engaged, soon the reality set in that I was now to become a full time wedding planner. The checklists started getting made with the first one on the list being “find a venue”. We knew we wanted an elegant, upscale, timeless wedding. The first thing that came to mind was an outdoor country club wedding. After touring a few, we realized this was not what we wanted due to unpredictable weather, inconvenience for out of town guests, and rustic vibes we were not trying to go for. Family recommended The Concourse so I reached out to Kylie. During our first tour we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The elegant experience that The Concourse provides is unmatched. (My favorite part being the neutral carpet, no one wants bright red or blue carpet in your wedding pictures.) During one of the most stressful times, stressing about weather and rain is something you can easily take off your plate by being indoors. This venue is perfect to have everything in one place from the rehearsal, to the ceremony, to the reception. Kylie is not only helpful, but goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. She is there every step of the way in the months and days leading up to the big day to make sure your vision becomes a reality. Everything from the set up, to the timing, to helping day-of making sure everything goes according to plan was more than what was even expected. People ask how our wedding went and all we can say is “perfect”. We are so grateful to everyone on The Concourse team, especially to Kylie. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our day. Everyone at Nippersink was beyond kind and helpful on the day of and for the entire year leading up to the wedding. Jaclyn was a dream to work with. She answered all of my many questions and was so flexible and accommodating. She always responded very promptly and went above and beyond in answering any questions or requests. Paul, the owner, and his wife were equally helpful and kind. I loved how personable their entire family was. My now husband and I kept saying throughout the whole wedding planning process how lucky we were to find Nippersink. Some examples of how they went above and beyond: buying my favorite flavored water and Malibu to use as a signature drink, allowing us to add on an appetizer a week before the wedding, sending us pictures of all of the available decor to use (they have so many great options available!), giving us the nicest gift day of, being flexible in the rehearsal dinner timing, and allowing us to have our ceremony at the venue with only 4 months notice when our church fell through. Besides their family being the sweetest, they have created such a wonderful space! The new wooden tables and chairs are gorgeous, the hotel was just redone, the grounds are beautiful and the food was delicious. We have gotten SO many compliments from guests about how much they loved the venue and were told from a guest it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We truthfully could not have had a better experience and we are so thankful to everyone at Nippersink on the Lake for that! Five stars just isn’t enough!

If there was an option to give more than 5 stars, The Valerie deserves it! I don't even know where to start - everything was even more perfect than we could have imagined. Picking a venue is a very tough, but important decision. I found myself googling The Valerie daily before finally biting the bullet on a venue that wasn't even built yet - but boy am I glad I did!!! This place is absolutely STUNNING. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted a classy and elegant vibe for my wedding and The Valerie matches that perfectly. From the gorgeous bridal suite, to the large light wall, the sparkly chandeliers, the aesthetic bars, the names of all the spaces, and the employees. Matty is such a joy to work with! From the initial conversation to the very last, he made sure that everything was perfect. He was extremely prompt in his responses via email, text, and call. Anything I needed, he was there to find the answer for me. He is AMAZING at what he does and we are so thankful! My ONE request was an espresso martini tower—and the second I said it, Matty didn’t hesitate. He just said, ‘Let’s do it!’ and made it happen. Jen was the MVP! We met Jen at our 90 day check in and immediately clicked and she offered to be our Wedding Coordinator from that point on - BEST DECISION EVER! She made everything go so smoothly, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Jen was also available at any time of the day to answer and questions or even offer suggestions! Half the time, I didn’t even know what I wanted—but Jen somehow took my scattered thoughts and turned them into something more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. I saw so many mixed opinions about hiring a wedding coordinator—so many people said we could just 'do it ourselves.' But looking back, I know without a doubt that our wedding was everything we dreamed of because of her! Mike, Jordan, and Madeline were the bartenders working the night of our wedding and they played one of the biggest roles of the night! All of our guests were raving about Mike's Brandy Old Fashions :) The three of them made sure all of the guests were taken care of in a timely manner and we are so appreciative of their service! For all the future brides out there - this is the BEST place to have the wedding of your dreams :)

We had our wedding reception at the Oconomowoc Community Center and were very pleased with both the venue and the staff. They were always prompt and thorough in responding to our questions during the planning process, which we really appreciated. The space itself was clean, open, and well-maintained - perfect for our reception. The staff let us bring decor in the day before so we could decorate and get everything ready easier day of, which was a huge help in making our wedding day run smoothly.

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.
