Vennebu Hill is a barn wedding and event venue set on a 60-acre farm in Baraboo, Wisconsin, minutes from Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton, with views of the Baraboo Bluffs and Wisconsin River. The property is part of the Myklebust family farm, where a restored Gothic-style barn once used for cattle now serves as a year-round, climate-controlled reception space. The name Vennebu comes from a Norwegian phrase meaning "a gathering place for friends and family," a nod to the family's Norwegian heritage. The venue seats up to 324 guests for weddings, meetings, retreats, and other events, with separate bride and groom preparation suites, a paved and lighted 167-stall parking lot, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony options. In-house catering and two fully staffed bars support the day, while a full commercial kitchen, wine cellar, elevator access, and ADA-accessible entrances round out the space.

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.

For weddings and celebrations, the resort's Elegant Barn and outdoor ceremony sites set among rolling hills and gardens host everything from micro-weddings of 50 guests to celebrations of up to 200.
