  • Select services

The Ludlow Mansion is steeped in history from the early beginning as a homestead of a 3,000 acre farm and a stop on the underground railroad, to today as a preeminent regional gathering place for great events. Five suites are available for overnight accommodations and access for photos and videos can be obtained in this historic homestead. The Mansion's grounds invite guests to enjoy friends and family under the shadow of its four two-story columned porch or its great white pergola. The Saddle Room bar offers both a comfortable lounge around its famous sunken bar or a patio chair to watch the sunset over the Mansion grounds. Extensive indoor spaces include a cavernous Carriage Hall which allows for a fabulous ceremony space with three giant chandeliers and can be converted dance central with party lights for the perfect late night experience. Lastly, the great Parlor Hall provides a perfect space to dine and celebrate with its many large windows with country views.

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!

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.

Ironworks Hotel 

5.0

Beloit, WI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

Ironworks Hotel Beloit is a boutique wedding venue located in downtown Beloit, Wisconsin. Sitting on the banks of the Rock River, this property offers an intimate setting where to-be-weds can celebrate their love for one another. In addition to ceremonies and receptions, the hotel also welcomes engagement parties, showers, and rehearsal dinners. Ironworks Hotel Beloit has more than 3,300 square feet of event space available for to-be-weds to use, with a maximum capacity of up to 200 guests. Ceremonies can be held on the waterfront patio or one of the banquet rooms can also be transformed into a beautiful ceremony space. These flexible halls can also be used as a setting for your reception. The banquet halls are decorated in neutral tones and have wooden floors, creating a blank canvas where you can bring your dream day to life.

We loved our beautiful fall wedding at iron works. We lived out of state (but I'm originally from the area) and the team worked with us long distance via email and phone to get the details together for the event. After shopping around I soon realized this was the BEST spot to have a wedding in the stateline area that is connected to a hotel. There's nothing classy in Rockford, it's all run down and gross but Iron works was classy and had the right vibe and price wasn't over the top (It was still expensive but palatable). I will menton we had our actual ceremony at Nicholas Conservatory in Rockford which was amazing but Iron Works was thee place for the reception. The place is industrial but has sexy vibes with the leather and strong iron beams with a nod to the city's past. The event space was beautiful and still looks new and clean and great shape. Love the details in the decor, It was a great canvas to work with. The view from the river was lovely and loved having the outdoor space to hang out in too, especially for those who smoked. The food was wonderful. Was a little worried about the steak, the first initial tasting was decent but thinking about serving steak for such a big crowd we were skeptical it would turn out but everyone's steak was edible and warm, just cooked perfectly, it is a steak house after all. We were glad we upgraded to the filet too. We were super happy with the appetizers and main course and everything was yummy. The servers were on it. Maybe too on it, I would set my drink down and it would disappear. But overall very pleased with our experience. Everyone we worked with was polite and nice from the servers to the managers in charge, we were treated with kindness and respect. I did fly out to come view it in person just to see how they would treat me and they passed the test.. Would have been nice to know about The booking situation with blocking off rooms that another wedding venue reserved rooms so then some of our party had to go to an air Bnb instead of everyone staying there, which was the whole point of doing it there so people didn't have to drive after the reception. Also wish we could have danced later than midnight but it was in our contract to end the night at midnight. Other than that very happy our experience. It was a beautiful wedding, it went by so fast but it was an unforgettable evening. Thanks for everything.

For us, Hotel Goodwin was truly a one-stop shop, as it's where we hosted our ceremony, reception (The Rooftop), and day-after brunch (Velvet Buffalo), and where we booked our room blocks. The staff was attentive and responsive throughout every element of planning and execution, and all we heard all weekend (and since!) from our guests is how much they loved the food and space, and how wonderful and accommodating the staff was at every turn. We have zero regrets about trusting the most important day of our lives to Hotel Goodwin, and would recommend it to anyone!

My husband and I were married at the Beloit Club in May of 2023 and we could not have imagined a more perfect venue for the two of us. My husband's grandparents have been members for a very long and we just loved eating her with their delicious food and beautiful venue. You do not need to be a member to be married here! With that being said, we have always enjoyed the food here and it did not disappoint on our wedding day! We were able to customize our meals for ourselves and for our guests. All event staff were very attentive to every little detail since we booked our date to the last minute. They helped make the wedding flow as smoothly as possible. The club house is spectacular, they are so accommodating, our pictures turned out beautifully and all of our guests complimented the venue and the food. The Beloit Club has plenty of great hotels near by and I found them to be reasonable in terms of cost in wedding planning. We absolutely loved this place for our wedding!

The Loft is the most significant space on the barn's second level and has been updated and restored to enhance the gorgeous long wooden beams. This area is equipped with audio-visual hookups and speakers. The spacious kitchen and dining area was the newest addition during the refurbishment, and it includes a catering kitchen and a fireplace, creating a wonderful homely feeling. The attached patio space has direct access to several areas of the barn and is large enough to host an outdoor event all by itself.

Our wedding at Four Winds was perfect. It is a beautiful facility that can host both indoor and outdoor activities seamlessly. Four Winds treated us very well, and it was easy to plan our wedding with them. Four Winds provided tables and chairs, in addition to the beautiful furniture they have inside and on the patio already. It was easy for our vendors to set up food. And the drinks that Jay designed for us were amazing. The day of our wedding, Four Winds helped keep water pitchers full and spaces clean. I've been at several weddings that didn't have refreshed water pitchers or other services, and Four Winds anticipated our needs before we even noticed them. And we've gotten so many compliments on the venue since our wedding!

The Barn at Allen Acres 
Rock Falls, IL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

A barn is where hard work happens. It is where good times and bad happen. It is where families come together. To work. To play. To connect. To grow. And to make memories. It weathers storms, the elements and anything else you can possibly throw at it. Can you think of a better metaphor for marriage? Can you think of a better place to start one? We can’t either. That’s why we put so much heart into The Barn here at Allen Acres. To create a place where someone’s there to bring the vision of your day to life. Why we fought for it. Why we worked ourselves into the ground for it. Spent money we didn’t have on it. And put every ounce of energy into the four walls you’ll see before you. Labor of love? It was an undying test of our wills, our bank accounts and our sanity. But that’s what you do for something and someone you’re passionate about. It’s how you start your dream. It’s how we started ours. And how we’d like to start yours.

  • Starts at $2,750

Located 10 minutes from downtown Madison, our stunning venue offers the perfect space for your wedding. Our beautiful, lodge-style facility is surrounded by 500 acres of natural areas and features a large banquet hall, an open air solar shelter, spacious lobby with fireplace, a balcony overlooking the prairie, fire circle, 300 year old oak tree and a rustic barn exterior. The natural setting and walking trails offer plenty of opportunities for unique wedding photography.

We were married at the Lussier Family Heritage Center in October and it was perfect! We were looking for something in our budget that let us bring in our own food and beverages. They were so easy to work with and the flexibility was incredible. We loved being married under the Heritage Oak tree but there were so many other options for ceremony locations that people could chose from (old barn backdrop, back patio next to the prairie, indoors, etc). My favorite part was hearing hundreds of cranes calling in the distance as they roosted for the night. If you are looking for a beautiful, natural setting and want something where you can get creative with your catering and beverage service, this is your place!
