Classy, rustic venue

Our dream wedding consisted of an indoor/outdoor venue, ceremony and reception at the same location, and a rustic yet classy venue. The Lodge at The Rock hit every one of those marks. The view from the top of the hill is beyond gorgeous. It makes for a beautiful outdoor ceremony and incredible wedding photos. Guests were able to enjoy the outdoor patio and still be able to cool off in the air conditioned building during the heat of August. The fire pit was a wonderful addition to the evening. Andrea, the coordinator, was professional, insightful, and always accommodating when it came to making sure our day was exactly how we envisioned. She helped behind the scenes the day of the wedding to ensure everything went as planned. The rest of the staff members and bartenders were also great. The Rock is a hidden gem when it comes to venues in Southeastern WI. We highly recommend this venue! Thank you for everything!

Amazing rustic venue

We are so happy we chose the Lodge at the Rock for our wedding. The view overlooking Whitnall Park makes for a beautiful outdoor ceremony space & backdrop for pictures. We also loved having the outdoor space for our guests to play lawn games during cocktail hour and sit around the fire in the evening. The indoor space is rustic & cozy. Andrea was great to work with and was very flexible throughout us postponing due to Covid. All the staff at the Rock were great and made sure the day ran smoothly! Highly recommend!

Perfect Local Rustic Venue

We were first looking into a barn venue for our wedding, however they are very costly. This is the perfect venue to still give you that rustic wedding but at an affordable price! The view is beautiful and the staff was very responsive in answering all of our questions. They successfully accommodated an indoor ceremony at the last minute the afternoon of the wedding when we changed our minds on an outdoor ceremony. We also hardly had to decorate at all because the venue is perfectly rustic. We highly recommend them!
