Was the perfect and affordable place to have our wedding reception! big enough space and enough chairs for everyone. worked out great with the lighting as well! 10 out of 10 would recommend.

The park was amazing! Great place for ceremony, dinner and reception. Minus the minor fees for the little stuff and the no refund on the grounds if it rains, cause Mother Nature in Wisconsin is very unpredictable, everything was excellent!

As soon as I saw the photos of Pamperin Park, I fell in love. The building itself is beautiful, with stone walls, a beautiful golden-copper colored dome, and indoor architecture with tons of history. The outside garden area is equally gorgeous; we were even lucky enough that the flowers planted in the garden were the exact same that we used in our decorations! There is a small river with a large bridge near the building that leads to the butterfly garden and surrounding forest, as well as a huge playground, sand volleyball court, and lots of picnic tables to enjoy the surroundings. The park ranger answered all of our questions and gave us helpful hints along the way. The one thing we didn't enjoy was the lack of air conditioning because the building got sooo hot with 200+ guests. Fortunately, we were able to sneak outside when we needed a breath of cool air and still hear the music for an outdoor dance party! If you plan on reserving Pamperin Park, make sure to arrive at least an hour before they open to make sure you get your reservation date. We arrived an hour and a half ahead of time and were fifth in line...but it was well worth the wait!!

Pamperin was an absolutely beautiful reception venue this winter. The park staff answered all of my questions and allowed us to come in so we could visualize set up. I would highly recommend Pamperin for a wedding during any season. It's very affordable and was perfect for the wedding I imagined. :)

We had an amazing reception in the dance hall. All turned out so beautiful. Awesome space, great scenery for photos and the staff was so helpful.

It was SUCH a beautiful ceremony, and we didn't break our budget for it either!! It was gorgeously set under a gazebo, and everything was very easy to plan/set up! I was VERY happy with the way things all turned out!

Our Pamperin Park wedding was absolutely gorgeous and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out! The Dance Hall looked awesome with the lighting and we got lots of compliments on our beautiful venue.

Pros:
Beautiful venue (inside and outside)
Lots of great areas for photos
Stage and fireplace in Dance Hall both are both great for ceremonies - we chose to get married in front of the fireplace
Lots of room for dancing
Garbage pickup now included
Great approved caterers

Cons:
Expensive for what it is
Have to pay extra for the lighting, to extend hours, and to rent the other room
Book a year to the month in advance, which makes booking extremely difficult

It was a great venue but you have to be ready to do a lot of it yourself.

My husband and I both knew we wanted a relaxed atmosphere with a fireplace for our wedding venue. Pamperin Park was the perfect spot for us! It was a great price, was just big enough for our original estimate of about 200 people, and the lighting and multiple rooms were a great bonus.

We ended up with about 150 guests which was perfect. We didn't need to put up every table, or take them down at the end of the night. We rented the building until midnight but with a 3:30 ceremony and dinner at 5:00, people started dancing at 6:30ish and almost everyone was gone before 11. We packed our car with family and were home at about 11:00 (we live right by the park).
Garbage pick is now included. We didn't have a hard time booking because we did a winter wedding, but they really need a better reservation system. Having people call or go online at a particular time is asking for trouble. Not being able to start planning your wedding until a year before hand is a problem. You need to have your venue booked before then!

The park guys at the beginning of the day and end of day were super nice and helpful. The parks department staff I talked to about my questions were friendly enough. I was very nervous about fitting 200+ people in the room, but it would not have been a problem, especially if we seated some 10 to a table.

I would leave some chairs in the second, smaller room for a quiet area for your guests who need a break from the music. My husband and I spent a lot of time just enjoying the space outside of the hall, talking to guests. It was very relaxing. Exactly what we wanted at our wedding.

Loved the park for our wedding!! Getting the venue was a trip but so worth it. You need to know your date a year in advance to rent the park building.
