We had an incredible experience working with The Cottage at Woodland Farm for our wedding. They have responded to all of our questions quickly and in detail, and we have always felt supported throughout the planning process. You get so much bang for your buck - they provide the bridal house for us to not only get ready in, but also stay over in! The gathering hall has a super cool and thoughtful space for the groom to get ready, and the event barn/lower barn is truly a special and unique space. I have never been to a wedding venue like this anywhere else. The team at The Cottage at Woodland Farm is top-notch, supporting us every step of the way with their 3-step planning approach, and they even sprinkled in little special touches, always going above and beyond. We can't say enough positive things about The Cottage at Woodland Farm!

  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
When we began looking for possible wedding venues, we came across the Outback and was the best decision we could have made. The venue location sits beautifully in the bluffs and is isolated enough that we felt like our wedding was ours and everything we needed was either provided to us by Holly or was easy to find. Our guests stayed in LaCrosse and it was easy for us to get transportation to and from the venue. One of the biggest pluses was having the apartments available to us. We were able to arrive and stay at the venue the entire weekend. Which made everything less stressful for us. Cannot recommend this venue more.

As a photographer, I love when a venue has lots of variety of backgrounds all throughout the location. And it is just an added bonus when those locations look great year round and no matter the weather!!! And that is exactly why I am OBSESSED with The Barn on Heron Hill! Not only is the barn visually stunning but the landscaping, limestone and additional buildings only add to the overall appeal. It is a location that is easily customizable to fit a couple's vision and as a photographer, I know a wedding at The Barn on Heron Hill is going to be smooth sailing from beginning to end!
