    Stunning venue for our beautiful wedding!

    Our wedding at Emerald Ridge's Rustic Oaks was so beautiful. Theresa is amazing! Planning a wedding is stressful and Theresa makes it easy! Having thr venue from Wednesday-Sunday is such an advantage! Also not having to worry about setting up and cleaning up is less on the bride & grooms to do list! The food was delicious and the cost is a steal! It was the most beautiful day!

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a joy to be part of your beautiful wedding day at Emerald Ridge Rustic Oaks. We’re so glad having the venue from Wednesday through Sunday, along with help with setup and cleanup, allows you to relax and enjoy your celebration. We are thrilled to hear that Teresa helped make planning easier, and we’re delighted you loved the food, too! Thank you for trusting us with such a special day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Our Wedding

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with our wedding venue! Our wedding day truly was perfect, and Teresa and her entire staff played such a huge part in making it so special. From setup, to helping throughout the entire wedding day, to tear down, they were there every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Teresa was absolutely amazing. She is so kind, caring, and genuinely goes above and beyond for her couples. She did so much more than we ever could have imagined, and we are incredibly grateful for all of her help and support. Having a venue team that is so hands-on, helpful, and invested in making your day special made such a difference for us. We felt so taken care of from start to finish, and we will always be thankful for everything Teresa and her staff did to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We would recommend this venue and Teresa to anyone planning their wedding! We truly could not have asked for a better experience.

    Teresa Olson•Oct 22, 2026

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It means the world to us and our entire team to know you felt so cared for from start to finish. We loved being part of your wedding and helping with all the details so you could relax, celebrate, and enjoy the day together. Your kind words and recommendation means so much to us. Thank you for trusting us with such an important day and for allowing us to share in your joy. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and wonderful memories!

    Great People and Beautiful Venue!

    We just got married at Rustic Oaks and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day! Teresa, Bruce, and Maddie were so great to work with and made everything very simple and easy. The food was delicious (many compliments still), the venue was beautiful (many compliments) and everything went well. My husband and I are extremely grateful for such a perfect day!!!

Three things stand out: 40 years of experience navigating real wedding-day challenges, a full-service approach that covers everything from catering to event coordination, and a family-oriented culture that treats every couple as individuals rather than bookings. The Couples' Choice Award confirms that difference through honest client feedback.

With 40 years of experience in Menomonie, they can quickly help you understand what is possible and what will work best for your day.
Thank you for asking! Because we hold a Wisconsin alcohol license, all alcoholic beverages served on the property must be purchased through our venue. Unfortunately, outside alcohol - including beer, wine, liquor, champagne, or homemade beverages - cannot be brought in. We're happy to help you select bar options that fit your guest count, preferences, and budget.
Yes, each of our venues has its own dedicated on-site parking lot for your guests. Parking is conveniently located at the venue, so guests will not need to find off-site parking or street parking.
Our wedding season currently runs May through October. At this time, we do not host weddings in January, February, March, April, November or December. We are excited to be adding a conference center in the future, which will allow us to offer additional options for meetings, celebrations, and other special events during the off-peak months. We would be happy to share more information as those plans become available.
Our peak wedding season runs from May through October. These months are especially popular because of warmer weather, outdoor scenery, and the variety of seasonal ceremony and reception options available.
Yes, all our facilities are wheelchair accessible. We have accessible entrances and accommodations to help ensure guests using wheelchairs or other mobility devices can comfortably access the venue. If you have a guest with specific accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can help make their arrival and experience as smooth as possible.
