Halverson House

Waterford, WI
  • Up to 185 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,300
  • Offer

Halverson House is more than just a ‘day of’ wedding venue. Instead it is a way of life that caters to families as they come together to celebrate what being a family, new or old, truly means. We believe in “comfortable elegance” which isn’t simply a tagline, but instead a standard throughout all that we offer. Comfort to us means a stress free experience for you and your guests from planning, to the day of your wedding and even afterwards. Situated on a private 120 acre site, Halverson House combines historical charm with the comfort of today’s modern amenities. The formal gardens and picturesque pond complement the still farmed agricultural land, wooded areas while the 1910 Victorian Mansion radiates luxury in exquisite details and full bridal suite. The granary, turned groom's quarters is complete with game tables, and lounge area while our fully restored 1860's post beam construction barn pairs historic detail with your most desired comfortable conveniences and elegant finishes.

Wow, where do I even begin. When my husband and I stumbled across Halverson House and set up a tour, the instant we pulled in the drive we were blown away by the beauty and overall comfort of what this place has to offer. I remember stepping out of the car and instantly getting goosebumps stunned by all the beautiful scenery. Joi, Mike & their amazing family & staff made us feel like part of the family right away. They made sure every single detail of our wedding was perfect, and we cannot thank them enough because our day was nothing less than that. The entire day was completely stress-free! They truly care about you, and their passion for bringing families together is just so amazing. They have created an absolute gorgeous venue and have worked so hard for this. We seriously cannot thank you all enough, for all your hard work and love. If you are looking for a place to get married, THIS IS THE PLACE! You will feel like your dreaming, only to find out that it’s all actually a reality. You will NOT be disappointed.

University Club Of Milwaukee - City And Country Club 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Up to 225 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The University Club of Milwaukee and Tripoli Country Club merged in 2016. Today, there simply is no other club in the region that offers the same heritage, legacy of excellence, and breadth of experiences as The University Club of Milwaukee. Founded in 1898 by a group of 19 college alumni, The University Club's founding mission was to offer members a distinctive opportunity to network, share ideas, grow relationships, and engage in the issues of the day. This was a time of great hope and promise, and of progress and innovation. In 1921, entrepreneurial members of the Tripoli Temple in Milwaukee purchased land at what is now Good Hope Road and 43rd Street in Milwaukee and began a country club for the benefit of its members. Tripoli Country Club and its championship-caliber golf course attracted fine golfers, also serving as an oasis for members and their families. Now united by a common commitment to excellence, engagement, and a desire to positively impact the lives of our members.

Everything from start to finish was amazing with UClub! Leah and the staff were great and pleasant to work with! We had the venue pretty much to ourselves all weekend which was great for my out of town family. Everything was stress free and taken care of without question! I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding! It was everything and more than what I imagined!

The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy 

5.0

Lake Forest, IL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The house, known today as Reid Hall, was completed in 1908 and the family moved in on May 5, led by J. Ogden Armour, until approximately September of 1927. Many of the house’s mantle pieces, there are 15, and the paneling of the library reading room (or former living room), were imported from Paris, Vienna and London, including the marble dining room while the main walls are of Italian marble, the central panels of each wall have been painted over the plaster to simulate actual marble. It is also reputed that the marble staircase was built with the primary purpose in mind that their daughter, Lolita Ogden Armour, would descend the curving stairway on her wedding day, which she did in 1921, to John J. Mitchell, Jr. Eventually the property was sold to Lake Forest Academy where classes began in 1948. Today, Academy grounds total approximately 170 acres.

The Armour House is truly a dream venue, it feels like you're at an Italian villa but in the middle of Lake Forest, IL. The entire staff is fantastic and they also help manage day of coordinating. I could not recommend this venue enough!

We ended up having an amazing wedding at Scenic View Country Club in October 2020. The space is nicely laid out and provides plenty of room with dance floor, huge bar and separate dining area. The wrap around porch provided nice outdoor space and would be great for cocktail hours, weather permitting. The views of the trees and green provided a great backdrop for ceremony and pictures. When COVID hit, there were a few changes in their event coordinators which made us a little nervous but once we got Clarissa a few months before our day, that all changed. Clarissa and her staff really made our day special. She was organized and great at communication leading up to our day. Planning a wedding in 2020 wasn't easy but I appreciated Clarissa's flexibility and help as we got closer. Day of, she was so helpful keeping us on track and making sure everything ran smoothly. We had some rain scheduled but still wanted to keep the ceremony outside if possible. We luckily got a window before our ceremony began and the staff was out there wiping off chairs and leaf blowing puddles so I wouldn't get my dress wet. Throughout the night, the staff continued to do an amazing job with serving dinner and keeping our guests happy! We were also very impressed with the food and heard nothing but good things from guests. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and very happy with our choice to have our special day at Scenic View!

The Gardens are absolutely gorgeous in the summer, and my husband and I fell in love with the location immediately after we entered. Aside from the beautiful scenery, the Gardens provide delicious food from Culinary Landscapes, their in-house catering service, and all of our wedding guests were raving about the food and beverages. The catering staff were amazing and very attentive. The only smudge on our experience was that establishing and maintain communication was rocky – especially towards the beginning of our planning process – and there were a few surprise expenses tacked on. All things considered, however, we would go back to CBG in a heartbeat – we had a fairy tale wedding.
