Horticultural Hall

Horticultural Hall is a historic Arts & Crafts building in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by the architectural firm Spencer & Powers and built originally for the Lake Geneva Horticultural Society, the hall has long been supported by the Lake Geneva Gardner's & Foreman's Association, founded in 1905, and the Lake Geneva Garden Club, founded in 1915. The venue's beamed Great Hall features a parquet floor and is air conditioned and heated for year-round use, accommodating up to 160 guests for weddings and other private events, with tables and chairs included in the rental fee. Couples may bring in their own caterer or self-cater using the hall's large commercial kitchen. An enclosed loggia connects the Great Hall to the courtyard and offers a backup ceremony space in case of inclement weather, while a restored Arts & Crafts library serves as a meeting space for up to 20 guests and doubles as a private bride's room with its own washroom. A flower-filled courtyard, open to the sky and enclosed by ivy-covered screened arcades, adds an outdoor setting for gatherings. Horticultural Hall also hosts a weekly farmer's market each spring through fall, continuing its role as a community gathering place.
