Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Just 35 minutes from Milwaukee in the central Wisconsin countryside, this pretty former church complex dates to the 1840s. It’s hosted thousands of weddings in its lifetime, all heralded by the peals from its graceful bell tower.
- The main cathedral is a striking beauty, with its breathtaking vaulted ceiling and rows of arched windows, each glimmering with original stained glass. It’s an extraordinary place to say “I do", of course, but removable pews allow the space to be transformed into an unforgettable reception hall, too.
- Spectacular gardens surround the vintage buildings, creating a lush setting whose backdrop shifts with the seasons. Set your warm-weather wedding amid the ponds, waterfall, and seasonal blooms, with dinner and dancing beneath an elegant peak-topped tent.
