This is probably going to be long because I can’t say enough good things about 10south. I got married on 9/6/2025 and it was the most incredible day ever. First, Audrey was our event coordinator and she did such a phenomenal job. I was probably the most annoying person with all my questions but she always got back to me so quickly and helped me out so so much. She made sure my vision would come to life. It was also amazing to have the ability to book our djs through them as well as some other add ons so we didn’t have to search (will be reviewing the djs on their page but wow they were great as well!!) The venue has the largest bridal suite out of all the venues I have seen (ones I toured and for weddings I’ve been a part of) which made getting ready feel so much less stressful. We had plenty of space to set up food and all the hair and makeup equipment we needed. The patio is a dream. We had our ceremony outside which was absolutely gorgeous. We then turned it into an area for cocktail hour which worked out amazing because it was so large for the amount of people we had. Of course the reception area is also amazing. The bar staff did incredible, I don’t think anyone had to wait in line for long at all. And it really helped having 2 bars during cocktail hour (Poppy is just adorable). Everything was magical, thanks to the 10south team and the way the venue is set up. I highly highly recommend getting married here!

The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!

Pheasant Valley Barn 

5.0

Brooklyn, WI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

We welcome you to Pheasant Valley Barn! The barn is nestled in a scenic valley in the middle of our farm. The Byrne family started dairy farming in Wisconsin after emigrating from Ireland in the 1870's. In 2003, we decided to renovate our 1890's barn. We added a new metal roof and restored the interior of the barn. To celebrate, we had a barn dance for Duane's parents' 40th anniversary. Thus began "The Party Barn". In the fall of 2018, our son Cory married his fiance, Jenny. It confirmed our idea of starting a barn venue and sharing our barn and farm with others. We have been asked many times, "Why don't you rent out this barn?" We have decided the time is right to diversify our farm and start this event business. We are so happy that we restored our barn. As more and more barns and farms are lost, our barn is preserved and now can be shared with others to create a memorable and special day for your event!

My husband and I were married at Pheasant Valley Barn this past summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Lindsay, the owner, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, offering timely advice and insights that ensured our rustic, flower-filled wedding vision came to life seamlessly. The beautiful, open barn provided a warm, welcoming backdrop for our special day. Lindsay worked hard to infuse personal touches that made our wedding feel unique. From the first venue walkthrough to the final farewell, Lindsay was there to answer every question, calm every worry, and handle all the behind-the-scenes details with total professionalism. We were able to relax and soak in every magical moment knowing we were in very capable hands. I would enthusiastically recommend Pheasant Valley Barn to any engaged couple searching for a venue that delivers beauty, charm, and outstanding service.

Working with Grand River Hall was nothing short of amazing. They were communicative, patient with all my questions, and so laid back. Courtney was our venue coordinator the day of and she was amazing!! Our wedding day was so stress free and I credit a lot of that to her. She made sure everything went smoothly and was in constant communication with us all day. The venue itself has so much natural beauty and our guests still talk about how pretty it was.

  • Up to 200 guests

  • Starts at $3,000

The Wagner House, located in the historic Wagner Print Building, is a three-story industrial warehouse in downtown Freeport, Illinois. The building was built in 1903 and was one of the first buildings that had electricity in Freeport. Established in 1853 and incorporated on March 9, 1912, the Wagner Building was home to the German-born Wagner Family who, like Freeport, has a long and interesting history. The Wagner House also served as an industrial manufacturing spot for textiles and fashion. For four generations, the business did not change hands, and the present Wagner company pledged to continue their record of quality printing and letterpress and are still in business today. In 2013, The Wagner building was sold to Bill Green to redevelop and re-imagine it, creating a wine bar, business incubator, and beautiful event space.

We had our wedding here in October 2025, and it was fantastic! From my initial tour July of 2024, to the food tasting, and communication beforehand, all top tier! Once we had dinner at The Great Debate downstairs, we knew the catering would be perfect for a wedding for two foodies. Savanna was a saving grace, and was a calming presence to ensure everything went smoothly. All of our guests RAVED about the venue all night long! It is such a unique spot that is hidden within Freeport. The party went all night thanks to fantastic energy from the bartender, Wes! This venue was a dream for me, and checked every single box. Highly recommend!

Two daughter’s weddings in 16 weeks…our most recent event was at the BRIX 260 on Nov 7th and we had an outstanding experience with the BRIX 260! Rob and team walk you thru every detail! Ample parking, no downtown traffic jams…a beautiful location on the Fox river. Open vendor policy and I highly recommend all our vendors: 11th hour bartending, mortar design for China rental. Drapery by SNP. Service was provided by Twin2Me me and catering by Francesca’s in Barrington. The day was flawless! A wedding for 220, we reserved the space for 2 hours the evening prior which assisted with DIY decor and rehearsal. Huge plus! The entire team at the BRIX was amazing, professional, pleasant to work with.  Timely to reply or answer questions. Down to a science, the space was converted from ceremony to appetizer hour in minutes. Many oooh and ahhh when the reception curtains opened:) Guest had a great time with the Photo Booth and we never felt crowded. The adjunct lighting after dinner was a beautiful compliment. Private bride entry hall is well thought thru, the chef prep space includes an ice machine and the spacious bridal suite includes a bathroom!!!! Iykyk The bride and groom were very pleased! Rob, my only suggestion would be the purchase of a food warmer for the chef prep kitchen :) Sincerely, Mother of the Bride

We had our wedding at Ludlow Mansion in Monroe WI and it was fantastic. Penny and Greg are great and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our guests continued to comment throughout the night how the venue was beautiful. Our wedding was in April and they were so accommodating to moving the ceremony to be inside instead of outside the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend going with the three day package as it made everything less stressful. I cannot say enough how happy we were to have our wedding at Ludlow and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for that all in one place for their weddings!

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!
