Harvest Moon Pond was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was incredibly timely, professional and inclusive in their communication. The beautiful, elegant and welcoming facility provided the ideal setting, with the stunning willow trees creating a magical backdrop for our ceremony.

The space itself has a beautiful, slightly rustic-but not too much, casual elegance that we loved. They put up all of our decorations for us, and even provided giant Connect Four for the kids to play with - little touches that went a long way. Caleb, the event coordinator, was a great communicator and made us feel so welcomed, even letting us bring our big dog to the wedding. We could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect venue. Highly recommend!

Milford Hills Hunt Club was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We primarily communicated with them over email which was always prompt and detailed. The outdoor space was gorgeous and made for a beautiful ceremony backdrop. The indoor space is on the smaller side but worked well for our wedding of about 150 guests. Heidi, the on-site coordinator, was phenomenal - her organization and communication really allowed my husband and I to relax and soak in being newlyweds. The food provided by Milford Hills was delicious and having the ceremony, reception and catering all handled by one vendor streamlined the planning process. It's a stunning venue with an accommodating staff that helped contribute to our special day.

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!

Carolyn and her staff at Barn at Trinity Peak were amazing throughout the entire process. They were fast, detailed, and incredibly helpful in answering any questions we had. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - a perfect rustic, spacious, and beautiful setting for our wedding day. The onsite staff were present at all times to assist us, allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy our special day stress-free.

My spouse and I had the literal wedding of our dreams. The Gardens were able to accommodate things we wanted, like family style dinner, long tables, great sound quality and an incredibly beautiful outdoor space. Getting married here was easy, the whole team communicated so quickly and respectfully. Being a queer couple, it was great to be in a space we could be fully ourselves. I don't think either of us could have anticipated anything better. The food was delicious, the venue was gorgeous, the people were great and the day was perfect.

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.

As the Mother of the Bride, you want everything to be beautiful and meaningful for your daughter—while still being able to relax and truly enjoy the celebration. I was so grateful to experience exactly that at my daughter’s wedding. Working with Kari as our planner was a wonderful experience. She made the entire process feel easy and fun, while paying close attention to every detail that ensured the wedding ran seamlessly. I joined both video planning consultations, and her well-organized, thoughtful approach made each meeting productive and enjoyable. Most importantly, Kari delivered on everything she promised—and more. Her husband, Mark, is an exceptional chef who created the most delicious food. Along with his friendly and professional staff, he treated us to a lively Italian feast at the rehearsal dinner and a truly sumptuous dinner on the wedding night. The food was unforgettable. Throughout the evening, we received countless compliments on the wedding—from the atmosphere to the service to the incredible meal. The venue’s gazebo is especially magical—a wonderfully romantic setting that feels perfect for photos and dreaming about the future. One look at the photos and you know you’ve discovered a truly special place. We will cherish these memories for many years to come. Thank you, Kari and Mark, for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable experience!
