Breathtaking and Stress-free

Our experience with The Bowery was incredible! From the beginning the entire team was phenomenal with communication and setting up a tour for us on short notice. When we booked we had a s'mores bar included in our booking because we booked within 72 hours and it was such a hit with our guests! Everything is gorgeous from the cocktail and receptions spaces to the getting ready farmhouse and no detail was overlooked. We opted to include the month of coordination offered and we could not have been happier with our experience. Sabrina managed and coordinated our entire day from decor, ceremony and vendors to all of my questions and communicating with us throughout the night. Knowing that someone I trusted was managing anything that could arise decreased our wedding day stress and I would 10/10 recommend taking advantage of these services! The Bowery itself is such a beautiful setting and we received countless compliments about the property from each guest. If you're thinking about getting married at The Bowery please put them at the top of your list and you won't regret it!

A true fairytale!

The Bowery Barn is a picturesque, fairy-tale venue. From the beautiful setting to the incredible staff, they exceeded our expectations in every way. The getting-ready areas were amazing, and the entire ambiance created the perfect backdrop for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day!

Highly Recommend

If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, unique, and well-maintained. Look no further! The Bowery focuses on every single detail, and they made our wedding day so incredibly special. Dusti, Emma, and the entire team are so responsive to emails, it’s insane. They make you feel so supported and are very experienced, they know what looks good and make great recommendations. They take the guesswork out of it, which is what you want for your big day. Their portal is also incredibly easy to use and helpful. You can rent speakers, desserts stands, table numbers, whatever you need. This place is the complete package! The chandeliers inside the barn already come with greenery and there are gorgeous (not tacky) string lights. My favorite is the house that is right next to the venue. It has a gorgeous vintage feel, beautiful wood floors, and was the perfect place to get ready. The furniture inside will make for incredible photos! Everyone is so polite and ready to jump into help you from the bar staff to the onsite day-off coordinator. You are supported the entire way. They even allow dogs on the property (outside only), this was huge for our photos that will last a lifetime. Speaking of photos, you will not run out of places to pose at this venue with your sweetie! Truly an incredible place just an hour from Madison or Milwaukee! Thanks for taking such great care of us!

Incredible

We just had our wedding here and it was amazing. Dusti and Jessica were a pleasure to work with, and all other staff members were so kind and professional. The venue is so beautiful, and I love that it’s temperature controlled inside. You definitely won’t need to leave the venue for pictures. No matter where you are in the building or on the property, you’ll have a beautiful backdrop. Highly recommend them!

Perfect venue!

From the moment I first walked in, to the moment I walked down the aisle i couldn't be happier with my experience at the Bowery Barn. The venue is absolutely stunning. When you walk in, it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. What i found during the planning process, was that the support of the team at The Bowery is really what makes this venue special. They are responsive, helpful, and kind. I couldn't be happier with how things went at our wedding, and I can confidently say that this can be contributed to Dusti. She is outstanding. Not only did she make sure everything ran smoothly, but she helped me manage decor, vendor schedules, create timelines, and answered all of my questions along the way. What I learned in this process is that having a beautiful venue is important, but having a good support team is really what makes the day special. We loved having the ceremony, happy hour and reception in the same location. It was convenient for our guests, and made transitions throughout the day simple. There was no wasted time, and we were able to make the most of every minute with our friends and family. I highly recommend this venue! I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Words are not enough

If I could get married again and again simply to have another wedding at this venue....I would because it is THAT amazing. The venue is stunning in every way, but even more impressive is the incredible team running it to make your day absolutely perfect. They host many weddings there, but they know exactly how to make it feel like the venue was designed specially for you and your significant other. Words are not enough to describe the experience...you have to do it for yourself! Could not recommend this place more!! LOVE

Stress free wedding!

The Bowery team does a great job helping you prepare for your wedding AND they do so much more then you think you’d ever need on your wedding day. I went into my wedding thinking I could do it all myself but quickly realized that wasn’t realistic and Dusti came to the rescue with her serious planning skills. Also, her eye for design is impeccable. I gave her a random box of decorations to put out at my wedding and she made it look so beautiful. I loved my experience working with this team and my guests loved the venue. It’s absolutely stunning inside and out and there are so many good photo ops around the property. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
