History

Originally built in the 1840s before Wisconsin became a state, the Cupola Barn began as a dairy farm with a one-room log cabin. Years later, Stacey and David Vecellio were inspired to create a magical barn venue after their daughter dreamed of having a rustic wedding celebration. Unable to find the perfect setting close to the Milwaukee area at the time, they eventually discovered the barn that would become The Cupola Barn. With the support of family and friends, they transformed the property into a warm and memorable venue designed for future couples to celebrate their own love stories.

Location

The Cupola Barn is nestled in the heart of Lake Country, less than an hour from Milwaukee, offering a peaceful countryside escape that remains easily accessible for guests.

Amazing people

This place is responsive, helpful, and very easy to work with. I can’t express my gratitude enough on how special my day was because of all their work and care of their venue. All the way through the process was simply easy with my million questions answered and went above and beyond to support me to help find vendors throughout the planning process.

The best wedding venue around

Cupola had everything that I had been looking for in a venue (I toured many, many venues around the Milwaukee area and none came close!) - beautiful out-door ceremony, an option for an indoor ceremony if weather didn't cooperate, wonderful outdoor hang out spaces, fire pits, a beautiful barn area for dancing and dinner, and so much more! Also Stacey was wonderful to work with - very professional, quick to respond, and a wealth of knowledge! I would highly recommend Cupola Barn for your wedding!

Amazing experience!

We could not have had a better experience with the Cupola Barn! The venue itself is just completely breathtaking and Stacey and David have clearly put so much thought and care into making it a beautiful and fairytale-like space. They captured the rustic feel of a barn space yet it's so much more modern and naturally beautiful compared to any other barn venues I've ever seen. Stacey and David were both SO friendly and responsive throughout the whole process and it was a joy working with and communicating with them. They clearly care so much for all of their clients and making sure we all have the best day. The outdoor spaces are so thoughtful and well put-together and our guests really appreciated having some additional areas to spend time when they needed breaks from the music. We got so many compliments during and after our wedding day on the venue and how beautiful it is and I cannot stress enough how amazing everything turned out. Absolutely no complaints and I would recommend this venue to everyone!

Amazing - 10/10

Everything about our wedding day from the beginning of planning 2 years in advance, to after following up on returning something’s that my family accidentally packed away. The cupola barn worked with every tedious question, planning, changes, and anything you can think of in such an amazing and professional manner. They are so nice and accommodating and make you feel special. They have wedding gifts for you in the getting ready areas and make you feel special without trying. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful, flexible venue than this. I truly would recommend it to anyone.

Dream come true!

Married 7/27/19! I'm not great at making decisions. I have to see ALL the options before I choose what I want, and searching for a venue was no exception. I'm SO SO SO glad I found Cupola Barn, kind of on accident actually. The venue itself is gorgeous and it keeps getting prettier each year (hello ceremony site!!). The owners are a JOY to work with and just to chat to. The option to add a day-of coordinator (their daughter) was HUUUGE and I'm so glad we decided to hire her as well. In summary, if you even think you MIGHT like this place, go check it out in person! You'll probably fall in love like I did
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
