Becket's has hosted weddings in its waterfront atrium hall along the Fox River in Oshkosh since 2008, with more than 2,500 celebrations held there to date. The eight-story atrium, located just adjacent to Becket's restaurant, seats up to 500 guests and opens onto a private riverside patio that also serves as an outdoor ceremony site. Only one event is booked per day, so couples have the full space and staff attention to themselves. Room rental is priced per guest rather than through a flat fee, with no minimums on food or beverage, and includes tables and chairs, linens and napkins in a couple's choice of color, chair covers, full setup and takedown, bars and bartenders, and china, flatware, and glassware. Catering is handled in-house with plated and buffet options, and off-site catering can also be arranged. Ceremonies on the riverside patio accommodate up to 250 seated guests and include a rain site and bridal suite. A preferred DJ partner and other local vendors are available to round out the day.

La Sure's Banquet Hall, Cakes, & Catering is a family-run event venue in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, tracing its roots to 1972, when Shirley "Sure" and Tom Heisler turned a home cake-decorating hobby into a bakery built around a proprietary French butter cream frosting recipe. The family added a café in 1982, and their son Bob and his wife Bev joined the business in 1985, growing the catering and cake-decorating sides of the operation. The current banquet hall opened at its Washburn Street location in April 2002, and the bakery moved on-site after the café closed in 2021. Today the venue hosts everything from intimate gatherings to formal dinners for up to 400 guests. The main hall can divide into four smaller rooms for more flexible group sizes, while the Ceremonial Garden offers a fenced, half-acre outdoor setting for up to 200 guests, centered on a raised white pergola and two fountains, with an indoor backup space available in case of weather. Full bar service and audio/visual equipment are available for events, and the in-house bakery — with more than 25 cake flavors and a history of decorating over two million cakes — handles everything from wedding cakes to everyday desserts for the more than 90,000 events La Sure's has catered.

Brighton Acres is a 40-acre wedding and event venue in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, built on a family-owned farm acquired in the 1940s. What began as a private property for family celebrations has grown into a venue that has hosted more than 500 weddings, evolving over 14 seasons while keeping its rural, barn-country character. The property centers on a barn erected in 1915, kept in its original raw form and used as a ceremony setting where natural light filters through the beams by day and warm lighting takes over after dark. Nearby, two weeping birch trees frame the largest of the venue's outdoor ceremony areas, with the barn itself as a backdrop. Indoors, The Hall serves as the venue's primary reception space, with chandeliers, bistro lighting, and French doors that open into an adjoining bar area outfitted with custom-made bar tables. Brighton Acres pairs its spaces with a full-scale bar offering a range of tap selections and an in-house florist, The Bloomtique, for décor and floral rentals. Couples can also stay nearby at The Bloomhouse, a partner Airbnb located minutes from the property.

Poplar Hall can host anything from a seated event for 190 people to an intimate birthday for a dozen. We have two levels, a mezzanine and main floor. One idea would be a reception on the mezzanine and seated dinner on the main floor. Or if you’d like to have a smaller event, we could seat 40 on the mezzanine. In-house catering is available, but please reach out for a list of our approved caterers. We have a full video and audio system, so just bring your phone, plug in, and get ready for the funk. Or watch slides of next year’s sales projections. Your call.

Givens Farm Estate is a wedding and event venue in the Wisconsin countryside near Hortonville, built around a Tuscan-inspired villa, vineyard, and gardens. The grounds include a plum orchard, a pond, and an iron truss bridge where ceremonies are held, all connected by a winding driveway leading up to the villa. The estate was established by Jim and Mariann, who shaped the property around Italian countryside aesthetics and a philosophy of homegrown hospitality passed down through generations. Current owners Brittney and Dustin have carried that legacy forward, hosting weddings, private gatherings, and community classes and events across the grounds. Couples can exchange vows in the gardens, by the orchard and pond, or on the bridge, with receptions held in the villa's grand hall by the fireplace, its screened porch, or under tents set up on the property. Beyond weddings, Givens Farm Estate hosts private dinners, bridal showers, and family reunions, along with recurring hands-on classes -- including pasta-making and wine-and-cheese workshops -- plus community events like the Givens Family Market and a fall festival. A wood-fired sauna and cold plunge experience is also offered on select days for groups of up to 12.
