Pettibone Resort

Pettibone Resort sits along the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin, billed as the city's first venue on the river. The banquet hall hosts weddings and corporate events with river views from an outdoor deck, a cascading three-tier waterfall, and a private dock on the water, along with vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, twinkling Edison lights, and an indoor stone fireplace inside. Ceremonies at Pettibone Resort seat up to 200 guests, while the banquet hall accommodates up to 300 for receptions, corporate holiday parties, retreats, and other special events, with the exact count depending on layout. A rustic ceremony arch and white garden chairs frame outdoor ceremonies, and crackling outdoor fires extend the evening once the sun goes down. Planning is handled by a venue coordinator who oversees table setup and cleanup, and each rental includes a dance floor, stage, podiums, wireless microphone, in-house sound system, and audio/visual projection. Couples and event planners choose from an approved caterer list and a private bar, with all-inclusive or a la carte pricing available. Pettibone Resort also operates an on-site RV park and campground for guests looking to extend their stay.
