Dixon's Apple Orchard & Wedding Venue sits on 100 acres in Cadott, Wisconsin, in the Chippewa Valley, where an island bridge, scenic paths, and rows of apple trees give the property its countryside character.

- 1 Outdoor
- 1 space at this venue
The Landing at 1841 is a restored 1841 barn set on the banks of the White River amid 50 acres of Wisconsin prairie and an onsite vineyard, just outside Burlington. The land was once a gathering place for the Kickapoo Tribe in the early 1800s and later a stop on the Underground Railroad under farmer True Worthy Durgin; the property was purchased by Tim and Renee Richter in 2015, after decades as a studio housing thousands of works by artist and peace activist Matt Lamb. Restored to its original vintage character and outfitted with modern amenities, the whitewashed barn welcomes guests beneath original rustic wood beams and grand chandeliers, with a copper-topped built-in bar and French doors opening onto a deck overlooking the lawn and river. Heating and air conditioning let the space host events year-round, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony sites, along with getting-ready space in the Trueworthy House and The Loft, support weddings for up to 200 guests. The Landing also hosts retreats and small private and corporate events, from banquets to holiday parties.

Bennett Barn
County Rd Q, Watertown, WI, USA- Spaces for 140-300 Guests
- 1 Barn
- 1 Historic Space
Bennett Barn is a rustic wedding venue on a family farm property in Watertown, Wisconsin. Owners Duane and Anita Bennett transformed a dilapidated barn, once filled with machinery and debris, into a full-scale event space after their daughter Chelsea got engaged in 2012 and wanted a barn wedding that same year. The result is a vintage barn with high ceilings and big views, holding about 300 guests. Inside, a dedicated dance floor and band area sit beneath strings of Christmas lights, vintage mirrors, antique wedding photos, and an old-fashioned bell in the rafters. Multiple photo locations dot the property, including silos, open fields, the barn exterior, and a wraparound porch. A short walk from the barn stands Mamre Moravian Church, an adjacent historic building available for ceremonies, complete with an antique pump organ and a bell tower, seating up to 140 guests. The on-site farmhouse offers a space for wedding party preparation with music, appetizers, and refreshments, while an indoor s'mores bar rounds out the property's amenities.

Couples can choose an indoor ceremony or reception under the barn's high ceilings and natural light, or an outdoor ceremony beneath the property's tree canopy with rustic barn-wood benches and mismatched vintage chairs, with the barn's main floor serving as a rain backup. The venue comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests for dinner, with additional guests welcome afterward. An oversized bridal suite includes a full-service bar, and the grounds feature a wine barrel fire pit with Adirondack seating beneath Edison-style bistro lighting, plus custom color-changeable up-lighting throughout the barn and surrounding trees. Barn at Trinity Peak operates as a full-service venue, holding its own Class B liquor license and providing complimentary wedding pre-planning, day-of coordination, and set-up and clean-up assistance for every event.

- 1 Barn
- 1 Outdoor
- 3 Total Spaces
Whistling Straits sits along two miles of rugged Lake Michigan coastline at Destination Kohler in Kohler, Wisconsin, on golf courses designed by architect Pete Dye with Irish and Scottish influences — a windswept, dune-covered landscape where Scottish Blackface sheep graze and where the Ryder Cup and multiple PGA Championships have been played. That same coastal setting doubles as a wedding backdrop, most notably in the Irish Barn, a fieldstone, barn-style reception space with an entirely open east wall overlooking holes No. 9, No. 10, and No. 18 alongside Lake Michigan. Canvas walls and stand heaters allow the room to flex with the weather, and the adjoining Champions' Locker Room offers bridal party changing space steps away. Just three miles from the course, the Straits Chapel gives ceremonies their own lakefront setting, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic Lake Michigan views and a curved drive-up entrance for arrivals. Couples celebrating at Whistling Straits also have access to the wider Destination Kohler resort, including its restaurants, spa, and accommodations for wedding parties and guests staying on for the weekend.
