Lorena Medina Velázquez: Beautiful place!

Cayce Wright: Loved it! It was so magical

Jeff N.: Fantastic!

Jon Muir: Kate and her wedding team we absolutely outstanding.From venue tours, to post reception, and everything in-between, they far surpassed our expectations.The venue needs no additional praise as the pictures speak for themselves. Each space, no matter which you may choose will elevate you experience compared to your average venue. My wife says "it felt like a fairytale", with endless compliments from our wedding guests, we know this to be true.All of St. James 1868's suggested vendors also beat our expectations.Danielle our coordinator, made what could have been a strenuous process, a breeze. Our wedding month/day went so smoothly and exactly as we had hoped and planned for.We can not recommend St. James 1868 enough.Thank you Kate, Jo, Kelsey, Danielle and all of the staff at St. James 1868

Lorenzo Cataldo: I went to St. James for a wedding on Saturday. It was one of the nicest places I’ve ever been too. Quaint and beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone.

distinct person: Went to A Taylor Swift Tribute Concert. It was fantastic. I really don't know Taylor Swift songs that well but my date loves them. And to have them performed by a quartet in a candlelit setting was really original and special. Plus they had a "Travis Swift" specialty drink that was original and delicious. And idk if it happens all the time, but for the last 2 songs they let us sing along and take pics.The quartet was excellent. I loved their intros to the songs and the arrangements were great. I would have loved to talk to them afterwards and take some pics. But they disappeared right away. Waited around but they never came back.

Cynthia Waters: Was lovely and fun! Would go again

Maureen oheron: Candlelight Concerts by Fever are absolutely breathtaking at this venue.

Antonia Shipp: Loved it!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Sarah Caudillo: Amazing performance! Will see again!

Allie Cabreza: We celebrated our wedding day at St. James 1868 on March 16th 2024 and it. Was. Breathtaking.We are still on cloud9 about the day two weeks later. Their entire staff onsite was soooo helpful, responsive and organized from start to finish.We hired the following vendors from their preferred list and I give them all 10/10.Photography: autumn silvaDJ/lighting/rentals/video: David Charles ProductionsBand: Generation ZPlanner: Renee Breanne DesignsFloral: Jane Kelly FloralCaterer: From ScratchThis space is beyond gorgeous and I would highly recommend celebrating here for any occasion!!!!

Emma Abler: We could not have asked for a better place to host our wedding reception. Amy, the venue coordinator, was excellent throughout the entire wedding plan process. The day of the wedding went smoothly, and we have to thank all of the staff for their support, thought, and care for our event. Many of our family and friends complimented us on our wedding reception, and we will cherish the special day we had at Story Hill Fire House.

Mary Kubicek: Went to see a local band, great evening!

Steven Gravatt: Good fun with some Rockabilly and a cool venue!

Natalie Mills: We found Story Hill Firehouse for our small, intimate wedding with our parents. The venue itself has so much charm and history, but Amy completely sold us. It's one thing to find the perfect venue, but you also need to find the perfect person to work with to help bring your dreams to light. Amy is an absolute gem. Incredibly personable, professional, and genuinely excited to help make your day beautiful. We had a very small gathering and she never made us feel like our event was any less important than the larger events. She truly took care of us and we cannot be more grateful to have found her and Story Hill Firehouse for our special day. Thank you a million times over.

Mary Wysocki: Beautiful place. Lots of art people.

Jeremy Sprader: Amy and the gang made our wedding night such a wonderful experience! The venue is gorgeous and exactly the size we needed for around 80 people, and everyone was super accommodating to everything we wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day!

andrew lewis: Very nice, lots of history associated with this building. Staff could have communicated better with the guests on the status of certain stages of a wedding event. The cake was cut and brought out a little slow. It really was a very nice event space. Our dislikes were very minor.

mary zembrzuski: This place is amazing.

Kathy Kohler: , Amy did everything she could to make sure that all the planning and details were just perfect. From her first suggestion of their favorite flower expert, Impressions by Esther Flemming,

erica koch: Neat venue

Lisa Bennett: Beautiful venue. Was great for a music event. Will definitely be back.

Mary Spencer: Attended Spring Makers Market event. Cute venue but felt really bad for those that were outside to fight the cold and rain. THe Firehouse is a nice facility for a small venue.

Erik Pleuss: Beautiful venue with a great bar staff

Linda Stamp: I attended a wedding reception here recently and it was absolutely perfect. Such a cool venue, I'd highly recommend this place for your special celebration! The grounds looked cool too but the weather didn't permit us to explore. Beautiful outdoor patio.

Alyssa Losselyoung: Excellent venue. Very friendly bar staff. Beautiful location and views We had a wonderful experience.

Danielle Bernier: The venue was beautiful! Adam and Sara were great to work with and made everything super easy and simple. We loved the final set up and received numerous positive comments from our guests. It was great to have the farmhouse on the property to get ready and sleep at after the reception. The property was great and had plenty of awesome photo spots. Overall, we would highly recommend this wedding venue!

Stephanie Condon: I love this wedding venue, one of my favorite locations to photograph weddings!

Otf Alvarez: What can I say beautiful pla e hands down when I get married I'm having my receptionist in here

Angelo Goudy (Smoothcool): Amazing place to have a gathering

Sandy Sloan: Especially beautiful in the pre-dawn during a major snowstorm.

Beth Tinsley: The remodel will be great!!

Kevin Golliher: We used this venue for my sister's memorial service. It was a great atmosphere, the space has great character. The staff was friendly and helpful, even when we couldn't get people to leave on time. My mother uses a walker and it was a little rough getting her into the building. Once inside she was fine, including a handicapped bathroom on the main floor. I would book this venue again.

Michelle: We recently rented out the boat house for our small fall wedding and it's a great location and a great price. We would rent here again in the future. It's also a great way to support the park systems we all love to enjoy

Dori H: . После ужина зашёл на крышу, но там было полно человек 20... Похоже, было бы здорово посидеть там, пока там не стало только стоячей комнаты. Район очень милый. Очень рекомендую этот отель!

Jason Woodrum: on two separate occasions. The staff were apologetic when this was brought to their attention and that was appreciated.Stay details: March 8-11, 2024. Adult male couple. IHG Gold status. Weekend trip.

Allysha Noelle Photography: Rustic Manor is a gorgeous wedding venue, offering a ton of beautiful photo locations!

Z Stief: Beautiful venue! The Rustic Manor team was wonderful with ensuring that everything was as we hoped. Very clean venue with an awesome rustic feel, plenty of room, and great vendor recommendations! You can't go wrong with having your wedding here.

Amy Schwalenberg: This is a beautiful venue. I was here for a wedding, that was held in the loft. It was gorgeous. The reception was in the lower level which is also a lovely space. This place looks amazing in pictures, and the staff was wonderful.

Bailey Wagner: Rustic Manor is a top notch wedding venue. It is clean, well kept, and staffed with helpful, organized employees. The beautiful views make for a very picturesque setting. They offer a lot of additional services in house such as wedding planning - totally worth it!I will say that some of the guidelines are strict - but with the owners living on the property and the fantastic condition of the facility, I can see the reasoning for it.My husband and I toured over 10 venues and we definitely picked the best one. I definitely recommend Rustic Manor!

Atlanta Rash: Beautiful place for a wedding!

Milwaukee Towns Collectibles: 4 & 3/4 stars, food was delicious & love the whole restaurant but always thinking there is room to improve & develop new dishes. First time I have ate @ “RedTaco” kind pricey, but you get what you pay for. Definitely feel like I could keep talking about this place, plenty more to try on the extended menu.

Shira Mizel: This place and the staff are fantastic! I came here as part of a girls trip for my birthday and they were wonderful to work with. We had a private class with Francesca and it was a blast! Most of us had never really painted but somehow we all went home with a great looking painting. The catering from Red Tacos went super smoothly and it was lovely to eat amazing Mexican food while we waited for the canvases to dry. Highly recommend for your next event!

Justine Filapek: , but all the guests worked together to keep from spilling anyones brush cup or drink. I believe just one drink glass hit the floor and broke. But anyway, if you're looking for more to do than just sit in a bar or watch TV, this is definitely recommended. No experience or skill required. I have already registered for a class during Frida Fest in July. Looking forward to more classes. I would make this at least monthly outing when more classes are able to be scheduled. Give it a whirl!

Nedaa Amro: Amazing and beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍

Chantilly Mace: due to time constraints with another obligation. The dance performances were captivating and the music sounded great! An outstanding event at a super location! I will be back!

Samantha Rosado: Our bartender was amazing! First time at the farmhouse and service was wonderful... Thank you Azucena...

Andrew David Greer: Cynthia was our teacher and server. She was wonderful. We had do much fun, we'll definitely go back.

Phylisha Wright: I came here for a group paint event and had such a great time! The facilities were so clean, smelled amazing, and was decorated so cute! Also, the instructor was so nice and so patient with us. This place is such a gem and I would definitely recommend it for a fun girls night out or even for a fun family night out.

Tara Harwood: Love this place! Great creative outlet! Fun for whole family. Francesca was amazing instructor and funny/interactive. Will come back!

Steve Hull: Excellent banquet venue. Good food. Great service

Pamela Rubio: Multiple catering over this past week. Quality ingredients, prompt friendly service. Holiday lunch of marsala chicken was the juiciest chicken on a catered buffet I had in a very long time, maybe ever. Kudos to Mike and his staff.Went out of his way to make presentation display extra special too!

Patricia Maier: The food was excellent! Atmosphere was great too!

Diane Peebles: The food and service were superb. Would have been an easy 5 star except they set up our event in the wrong room. The two rooms are actually identical, but one has a southern exposure. Since ours was an afternoon event, we wanted the sunshine. I would definitely recommend Davian's for any event.

Tesla Lockwood: Great service, and a wonderful wedding venue!

Jesus Atilano: Very professional and helpful staff.

Andrea Adkins: Excellent service, space and reception hall.

Jeffrey Kohler: Davians is awesome for any event

AJ Lembach: Great place to take your kids or just go for a walk. Not small yet, not exactly big. Trails are very visible and we'll maintained.

Sharon McCarragher: A perfect place to enjoy the warm spring day. The star magnolias are magnificent, with saucer magnolias just beginning to show their colors. April 15 was too early this year, for most spring flowers, but there's always something wonderful to see here.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait …

Veronica “Ronnie” Barrett: So beautiful and peaceful

Greg Brown: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure

Korey Rossman: Food is to die for. Warm food with amazing flavor! The hospitality from this group was also amazing, made sure my guests were taken care of, even those with food allergies had the utmost attention.

Scott Koranda: My son and his new wife were married in late 2023. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the service provided by Zilli Hospitality Group.The staff were professional, courteous, cheerful, and efficient. Our guests complimented the food over and over all night, including its presentation, as well as the place settings and all the other details that went into the service.The favorites seemed to be the mashed potatoes and the ravioli, but really guests raved about every dish.We cannot think of anything we wished Zilli had done differently, and we are grateful for the team's help in making the wedding such a special event.

Olivia Docter: Zilli’s did cocktail hour food and buffet style dinner for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park. I received many compliments from guests on how good the food and service was. The staff was very attentive and on top of it. The individuals we worked with beforehand were so gracious in answering questions and working with us to create a menu that fit our needs! Highly recommend Zilli’s for your next event!

Jake Coy: I cannot say enough about Zilli Hospitality Group, they are absolutely incredible. From start to finish they created the best event would could have possibly asked for. I'd recommened them a million times over.

Patrick Foley: We couldn’t have asked for our night to go more smoothly, and much of it was thanks to the friendly and extremely helpful staff at the Pritzlaff Building. We worked mostly with Ali and Kristi, and Jessica helped us with our floor plan. They made everything so comfortable for us both in planning/leading up to our wedding and on wedding day. They accommodated everything we asked for and always had solutions to any problems we were running into. They provided their expertise when asked, but let us make the decisions for ourselves. The staff on wedding night were professional and timely and we couldn't have been any happier!

Ian Griffith: The Boerner Botanical Garden and Zilli Hospitality Group made something happen that my wife and I thought would never happen. My wife and I had to keep moving our date for our wedding due to COVID. But Yvette and Cheyenne worked with us and calmed our nerves through this whole process. And when the day finally came, they truly made it magical. They made the unthinkable happen every step of the way that day. From Courtney, our head bartender, to our event manager for the night, Niah, they allowed us to enjoy our evening and just have fun! Thank you Boerner Botnaical Gardens, Zilli Hospitality Group, and all the staff on our wedding day once again, for making everything come true for our own special Fairy Tale!

Grace Dauer: Zilli's catered our wedding back in September and we couldn't recommend this company enough! Everything from the appetizers to the buffet was perfect and we had guests telling us how great the food was all night. Zilli's staff was professional, attentive and kept things running smoothly all night. We are so happy to have gone with Zilli's and to have them a part of our day!

Madison Sitkiewicz: I highly recommend working with Zilli Hospitality for catering your wedding. We still to this day have guests tell us how amazing our food was. It came out hot, well prepared, and flavorful. We had several guests with allergies and Zilli Hospitality took this very seriously. We had no issues which we really appreciated. Their desserts were also incredible! The Zilli serving staff was so attentive to not only myself and my husband but to our parents’ table as well. The chef even came out to make sure everything came out the way we expected. We felt so taken care of by the staff. Zilli did everything possible to make our day special. I would book Zilli Hospitality again and again.

Sarah F: We just want to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to Lauren, Paula and the staff at Zilli Hospitality Group! Thank you all for your help in making our wedding day the most perfect day. Everyone loved the cocktail hour appetizers, dinner and dessert assortments. The caterers had excellent service. They were all super friendly and got everything out smoothly and quickly. The food was delicious and all of our guests were telling us how great the food was throughout the evening. We highly recommend Zilli Hospitality Group to cater your wedding!

Danielle Bernier: Food was amazing!! We did multiple tastings in preparation for our wedding and zilli’s steak was by far the best we tried. Was just as great on the wedding day. Got multiple complements from our guests and would defiantly recommend their services. Also huge shout out to Virginia who made sure myself and my new husband were never without a drink!

Kyle and Carter's show: Excellent food. Even better staff. Extreme attention to detail.

Liz Johnson: Zilli Hospitality was the obvious choice when we were looking for a wedding caterer. They had clear and upfront pricing and communication from the start. They set the tone for what we can expect for out wedding at our tasting . The staff was so accommodating, kind, and warm. They made us feel truly special and the food was amazing! We loved that we could have one vendor handle so much for us as we opted for cocktail hour appetizers, dinner, and their dessert bar. Although email replies could be a little bit slow at times they made sure that all of my questions were answered and I was confident in them leading up to our event. At the reception we had so many guests compliment the food and dessert bar/coffee station. The staff came up to us several times throughout the night to make sure we were taken care of and happy with the food/service. We are so happy we went with Zilli and would 100% recommend them for your wedding!

Janessa Callen: My husband and I are beyond grateful for the Pritzlaff team! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and team for our wedding day! My husband and I had issues with our original venue which left us without a venue a month before our wedding. We reached out to the Pritzlaff to see if they had a space available on our date and Jessica, Ali and Kristi were quick to respond to let us know that they did. We did a walkthrough with Jessica and Ali, and they sat down with us afterwards to finalize the timeline, bar packages, linens, etc. We were so relieved after meeting with them and knew that we were in great hands. Jessica and Ali kept in constant contact with us leading up to our wedding and kept my mind at ease. On the day of our wedding, I knew that I could depend on the Pritzlaff team to assist with anything that came up with vendors, setup, timing, and more, which made for a very calm morning for me.On top of having a great team, the Pritzlaff is a beautiful building with beautiful event spaces. My husband and I are so in love with the building, courtyard and the 325 room. We had our ceremony in the courtyard and the seats faced the cream city brick which was a beautiful backdrop and one of our favorite parts of the space. The 325 room was very spacious and had beautiful wooden pillars. We also decided to do a 30-minute photo session on the rooftop which was a great decision! Some of our favorite pictures were taken on the rooftop. Overall, we had an amazing day and all of our guest loved the venue!

Eric Durant: Our experience with Zilli Hospitality Group was nothing short of extraordinary. They played a monumental role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't be more grateful.From the moment we walked into their tasting event, we knew we were in good hands. They offered an extensive variety of dishes, each prepared with undeniable skill and precision. It wasn't an easy task, but we finally selected five appetizers that were the perfect balance of creativity, elegance, and flavor. The Bloody Mary Bites with a Tito's Bloody Mary pipette were nothing short of inventive, and the prosciutto-wrapped peppadew, stuffed with goat cheese, fresh thyme, and lemon zest, was a burst of flavor that our guests couldn't stop raving about.Their entreés were equally impressive, with the stuffed chicken with ricotta and spinach, and the parmesan risotto stealing the show. The well-executed, plated chopped salad with the perfect additions of crisp bacon, crumbled blue cheese, and roasted corn added a refreshing touch to the meal.What stood out to us was not just the quality of their food, but also the inclusiveness of their offerings. We had six guests with special dietary needs, and Zilli didn't just accommodate them, but ensured they received the same quality and variety as every other guest.We must also mention their exceptional bar service during the cocktail hour and reception. The team was friendly, efficient, and kept the glasses full. The late-night charcuterie board was excellent as well, letting us and our guests refuel as the dancing picked up.In conclusion, Zilli Hospitality Group offers more than just high-quality catering. They offer an unforgettable experience, characterized by impeccable service, mouth-watering food, and an understanding of hospitality that only comes from years of expertise. Thank you, Zilli, for playing such an integral role in our special day!

Dane Mauland: My now-wife and I had the pleasure of working with Zilli planning our wedding at the Mitchell Park Domes. We're from Wisconsin but currently live out of town, which you think would complicate the process, but all the planning was smooth and the day-of execution by Zilli was flawless. The food was delicious and the staff were great. The only hiccup was finding out the venue put on a dinosaur theme for the summer, but Zilli helped make it right, including allowing some last-minute changes to minimize the impact of the dinosaurs on the ceremony. Hiccups happen when planning something as complicated as a wedding, and ultimately you want a planner who will roll with the punches with you. That's Zilli.All-in-all, my wife and I had a fantastic wedding made possible by Zilli.

Meg Boyle: Zilli Hospitality Group has provided outstanding service for two outdoor weddings for our family. Their staff is very professional and efficient. Food is great and unique and service is wonderful. I'd highly recommend them.

Nicole Harris: . We had stations and everyone was so excited to try a little bit of everything. Everyone was amazed that everything was gluten free and said that they would have had no idea without being told.Rhonda was our day of contact and she was absolutely incredible. Everything ran smoothly, and she regularly checked in with us and our parents. She even brought over a plate of apps after cocktail hour because my husband and I didn't have a chance to try them!We couldn't have asked for a better catering team.

Elizabeth Terp Chevremont: I can’t say enough great things about Chef Jack’s! From our first tasting with Tony, we immediately knew Chef Jack’s was the perfect choice. Tony was awesome- so helpful and informative and made us feel so welcome and comfortable! Nicolette helped us with all the rest of the details for the catering at our wedding & she was amazing! Chef Jack’s is so organized, the food options are endless and most importantly, the food was AMAZING. Our wedding guests are still raving about how good the appetizers and food was. The presentation was great & the staff was professional and friendly. THANK YOU to everyone at Chef Jack’s for making our wedding amazing! I recommend this company to everyone!

Shannon Davis: We used Chef Jacks for our September 2023 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. Candy and Melinda were incredibly friendly, helpful and easy to work with. They pay great attention to every detail and we received so many compliments on the food, including “best wedding food they’ve had”. Everything worked perfectly, tasted amazing and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend booking Chef Jacks for your wedding!!

Matthew Brensel: Didn't get married, but attended a wonderful wedding where they had awesome shrimp and shrooms. Steak and chicken both were equally beyond AWESOME!!! Now I'm excited for how the dessert is. Best food ever.

Ian Hackett: We had Chef Jacks as the caterer for our wedding and everything was truly amazing! Both the appetizers during cocktail hour and the dinner were a massive hit! Working with Chef Jacks was an incredibly smooth process and we 10/10 recommend using them for any catering needs.

Eric Hesselbach: My wife and I recently used Chef Jack’s as our wedding caterer and we cannot recommend them enough!! So many guests commented to us how good the food was and we couldn’t agree more. Beyond the wonderful dinner menu, everyone LOVED the grilled cheese and Reuben shooters for the cocktail hour. Also, staff was very attentive throughout the day and made sure any guests with dietary restrictions had their needs met so everyone could enjoy their meals. Finally, leading up to the wedding the point people at Chef Jack’s were always quick to respond to various communications which made the planning that much easier for us. We absolutely loved working with Chef Jack’s and appreciate all they did for us!

Erika Chiantello: My husband and I used Chef Jack’s for our recent wedding on 7/7/23, and let me tell you it was the BEST decision we could have made. They were very easy to work with from the start. The initial tasting was great and very filling! We had a buffet for our wedding and we were able to customize everything we wanted for it. We had multiple multiple people tell us this was the best wedding food they have ever had, and I would have to agree. I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you use this catering service. They were very professional and efficient and have absolutely nothing bad to say. I just wish I could do it all over again in order to eat this delicious food!!

alexis k: LOVED!!! our guests ALL told us that it was the best food at a wedding that they had ever had. we had the chicken ‘poof’, beef carving station and twice baked potato as a buffet for our 214 guests. they had 2 buffet stations set up and guests all said it was the quickest a line has ever moved at a wedding. cannot say enough great things about them. if you haven’t booked a caterer yet- book them before it’s too late!!

Briana Buchmann: Chef Jack's was a dream to work with for my June wedding! We had incredible food and were so happy with the service of everyone involved. The entire team was so helpful and we could not have asked for a better experience!

Brianna Schoof: Chef Jack's was amazing. From our initial tasting to our wedding day, they did a great job. they answered all of our questions and the food was INCREDIBLE! We got married last September and we are still hearing from our guests about how much they loved the food. I would highly recommend!

Tim Borowski: It was an amazing experience

John Wallenfang: Best place ever. Staff was outstanding. Will definitely return.

Elizabeth Garncarz: Chef Jack's was amazing to work with the entire process. The whole team is prompt to respond to emails and good at reminders. The food we tasted was all delicious and was amazing day of our wedding. The passed appetizers were raved about, the semi sit down worked out very well for our guests, and friends are still asking about the cordials. The entire process was great. Only down fall was we didn't get to eat all of our appetizers as we kept getting caught in conversations, we didn't get a chocolate cordial, and our cake was cleared from our table before we got to enjoy it. luckily our bartenders has some for us. Still would do it all over again!

Emilie Poehlmann: The entire process working with Chef Jack's was simply amazing! They made everything easy and were extremely responsive to any questions along the way. On the actual day, the team was over the top helpful and we've had nothing but positive reviews on the meal and appetizers! We can't recommend Chef Jack's more and will continue to tell everyone!

Jesse Sherman: Chef Jack's catered our wedding reception and did appetizers for cocktail hour on 9/3/2022 at The Farm at Dover. They offered us a tasting menu before we put down a deposit to make sure we liked it which was very helpful during the planning process. While we didn't get to try everything on the menu we found that everything tasted great and they gave us suggestions on other options to include for our menu. Their team was flexible when it came to changing out our final choices and numbers as long as we did it before the deadline outlined. The catering team was familiar with the venue and venue staff which made for a smooth day-of operation from our perspective. The passed appetizers were great. We went with a buffet style dinner, which worked out well in the venue for our guests. The food was great and the servers were pleasant and professional. The company had strict policies about the timing and length of service but we were able to work together with them and our planner to make sure everything went smoothly and as we had planned. We would recommend using Chef Jacks for your event.

Liz Kozak (Bartlein): We absolutely loved working with Chef Jacks for our wedding. We got married on 10/22/2022, and we started working with Chef Jacks in November 2021, post booking our venue.We did our tasting in November 2021, and was completely sold on working with Chef Jacks as our caterer. -- I can't say enough about how organized and amazing everything was.The service, food, linens, everything was perfect! I would highly recommend Chef Jacks for your next event!On the night of the wedding, plus after, so many of our guests shared compliments about how great the food/service was!

Chicago Cameraslinger: Freshest PBR you'll ever have! The tour is packed full of Americana history and Mark was a fantastic guide through it all. Beer just tastes better the more you know about it.The giftshop has every type of souvenir you could want to take home with you, too!

Kathryn Burg: Simply wonderful Sunday♡♡♡

Cherish Banaszak: Absolutely gorgeous! Great location and great views. The bathrooms are outside a port a john and bathroom trailer but you can't beat the views and how beautiful the venue is. Price isn't bad either. Definitely would recommend

Adriane Leonard: We did my daughter's senior pictures there. Beautiful venue and the pictures turned out amazing! They were super helpful during the shoot even though a rehearsal was going on. Would love to have any type of celebration there!

Madison Mickelson: even drove my husband, photographer, and I further into her 50 acre property so we could get the best sunset pictures. They truly made the day and we couldn’t have picked a better venue.

Dan Resnick: Beautiful wedding venue!

Scott W: Attending a wedding this weekend. What a stunning wedding venue. The entire property was so beautiful and well taken care of. They put a lot of thought into the layout and the logistics for weddings and receptions. The outdoor grounds were set up to make it a minimalist yet, memorable event. The chairs were set up in an open area with the corn field behind. The barn was large and spacious. The attached deck allow people to easily minger and move between areas. The bar area was located so that there was minimal traffic to get in and out of areas. When it got a little warm, the large barn doors let in plenty of cool evening air. The area for the dancing was in a great spot to allow people to watch.The people running the event were efficient and friendly. Great job!

Makenzie Meyers: 11/10 experience!! We loved working with Shelly and Ali here at Folk Song Farm! They made the wedding experience seamless.

doug alfke: Church picnic, it is a most delightful place. Perfect venue for smaller weddings, showers, BD parties. Beautiful barn restoration. Gotta check it out.

Jesse Glod: Cant say enough about how amazing our wedding was. Shelly is great and truly cares about people she opens her doors to. The property and the barn are beautiful. There is something special about having a barn wedding in an authentic 1850s barn.

Kevin Stiff: Wow😍

edward speth: Great

Toni Kelly: Enjoying the outside

Michael Graeve: . Each sign has a screw next to the pin placement on the map so there is no guessing where the basket is.The course wraps around in a giant oval. Getting lost here would take some serious effort.This is a pay to play course. If you don't have a yearly pass, you'll need to go to the chalet parking lot to get a daily pass. I recommend to get your monies worth out of the daily pass, play all 27 holes at that point.Because it is pay to play, the course is well maintained with little to no garbage on this 9 hole section. Baskets are moved frequently as well, giving different looks and options when playing here multiple times throughout the year.The course gets busy on nicer days but the majority of users practice good etiquette and usually let you pass if need be. Early mornings are a great time play.
