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!

10/10 recommend!!

The Rock is a beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces to celebrate. Andrea was always available and easy to communicate with. Throughout all the changes due to COVID she was responsive, answered all our questions and worked with us to make our day safe but fun. She was there throughout the entire event and worked behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly. Definitely recommend!!

Amazing Venue for a Classy Rustic Wedding

We are so glad we chose The Rock Venue as the place to hold our wedding Reception. Nicole was amazing to work with and took care of every detail for us. Her communication with us was more than we could have ever asked for and she took all the uncertainty out of a stressful time during the planning stages. Nicole and her staff were extremely professional and went out of their way to make us feel like we're the only event they had even though there were events there every weekend. Nicole took the lead in communicating with our vendors and made sure no details were overlooked. We had an amazing time at our wedding reception at The Rock and it was an evening we'll never forget. The place looked absolutely amazing on our wedding day and we would definitely recommend The Rock for anyone looking to host a classy wedding with a rustic appearance. We can't say enough good things about our experience. Thank you again for everything!

Perfect venue!

We had our wedding reception there and it turned out perfect. Nicole and her staff were awesome. Nicole responded to any and all my questions whether they were big or small promptly without any hesitation. She was so easy to work with from the beginning. The bar staff was just as great to work with. The venue itself was perfect! We were able to have a live band play outside and a dj inside once the band left so it was pure perfection with how it is laid out. We had a lot of people but because of having it as an indoor/outdoor venue, we had more than enough room. The pictures from the photographer turned out beautiful with the outdoor scenery that added an extra special touch. I have nothing but wonderful words to say about the staff and the venue. Everyone loved our reception and only received positive feedback.

Nicole was a pleasure to work with in planning and on the day of the event.
Our guest loved the venue . Lots of room for table options . My only negative was the carpet was kinda if dirty . Yes it was vacuumed. But the event the night before was a messy one. Tables were a bit sticky.Overall the room a great space and beautiful view .
