Lodge and Retreat Wedding Venues in Porterfield, WI

“I could never accurately put into words how special this place is, but here goes nothing: I grew up going to Door County each summer and always had a pipe dream of getting married here. When I got engaged in March 2022, I booked Northern Haus almost immediately without ever having seen it in person. There was something about its natural beauty that just made me know that it was where my husband and I were meant to get married. I didn't actually see the venue in-person until the day before my wedding at my rehearsal, but you would have no idea because of the amazingly helpful owners, Sara and Nick, and staff, Megan, who helped you feel like a part of the Northern Haus family from the moment you first make contact with them. I worked with Sara and Megan extensively throughout the 16 or so months of my wedding planning, and they were the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient people to work with. They helped me to understand the space, encouraged my ideas, and supported me through the millions of questions I had along the way. I also need to note how incredibly helpful Northern Haus’ preferred list of vendors is – I could not have planned our wedding from California without this list. We used so many of their preferred vendors and all of them exceeded our expectations! On the day of the wedding, I would not have been able to be stress-free if it weren’t for Sara being my Day Of Coordinator. She felt like another friend to me that day – someone who was looking out for me and my happiness every step of the way. She also has an amazing ability to troubleshoot, but not involve you in anything that might cause you unnecessary stress. She made the day feel so incredibly smooth every step of the way. Some other highlights of the day included bar carts with beer and wine for our guests as they arrived for the ceremony, Sara’s truly unreal ability to read a weather forecast and figure out the perfect time for us to squeeze in our outdoor ceremony before it started to rain, the rainbow that came out after said rain (I know Northern Haus didn’t necessarily make the rainbow happen but also maybe they did? they’re that amazing), nonstop dancing during the reception, and so much more. To put it simply, our wedding day was the best day of my life. I know people say this all the time, but I really feel that Northern Haus helped to ensure that it was the best day of my life. Sara, Nick, and Megan are all such amazing professionals who truly care about the happiness and success of their clients. If you are in search of truly a dream venue with the very best people, you can’t beat Northern Haus!”

“The Brule River Barn provides the perfect combination of natural beauty, refined accommodations, and personalized service to make any wedding celebration a dream come true. From the ceremony site options to the available lodging, there is everything needed for an amazing and memorable event right on the property. If you happen to go exploring, nearby excursion options complement the experience for anyone looking to explore the river, Lake Superior, or other attractions in the area. While our event was an intimate and informal gathering of family and friends, the venue could definitely accommodate larger groups and easily maintain its unique sophisticated charm for any desired level of formality. Jill’s talent and vision are reflected throughout the grounds amid patches of floral color and creative collections of rustic artistry. Attention to detail is found in the items available on the property, from kitchen supplies to toiletries. The delightfully charismatic spaces throughout the property can accommodate grand speeches for a crowd or intimate conversation in a corner tucked away from it all. You somehow are instantly relaxed and energized at the same time among your surroundings, which is reinforced by the impeccable service and support Jill provides. Unique photo opportunities abound at The Brule River Barn, helping to ensure that you will have lifelong memories to hold in a frame and in your heart.”
