A perfect naturally beautiful and historic wedding venue!

Jill and Chelsea provided great advice in planning and designing room layouts. They were so flexible which made it easy for us to create the perfect atmosphere for ourselves and our wedding guests. There wasn’t much need for decorations as the building itself has a natural beauty - not to mention it’s right on the river! The Fort Atkinson Club allows you to rent the whole building for the weekend. This was great for setup/rehearsal on Friday and cleanup on Sunday! They have a studio room for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in on the big and a fun old school two lane bowling alley for you and your guests to use through the event!

Wonderful Hidden Gem

My husband and I got married last year and absolutely loved the Fort Atkinson Club as our wedding venue! We ended going with the weekend package and had the Club from Friday until Sunday at noon and felt this package really met our needs so we did not feel rushed and had time to set up. We also held our rehearsal at the Club and used the lower level for rehearsal dinner and the main level for our wedding day dinner. Not only is the building beautiful on the inside, but it had everything there to fit our needs including place settings. In addition the staff were so accommodating, helpful and responsive. It also is a great setting for sunsets too!

Great Venue for a Smaller Wedding!

We loved this wedding venue! It was the perfect size for our smaller wedding of 100 guests. The layout was great for all of our events for the big day: we used the auditorium for the ceremony, the main level for dinner, and the lower level for cocktail hour and dancing. The old school bowling lanes are an awesome touch as well. This venue also has a great outdoor space looking over the river. We were able to bring in our own food and beverages, and it really helped us out to have the venue for the whole weekend. Jill and her team were great to work with, so we highly recommend the Fort Atkinson Club!

We hosted a rehearsal dinner for wedding party members, out of town friends and family--about 100 people--at the end of August, 2016. The facility was perfect for our party. We used the main level as well as the riverside terrace. The venue was recently completely renovated in 2014 but retains all the character of an early 20th century Arts & Crafts building, while adding a commercial kitchen and ADA accessibility to all three levels (this was an important consideration for us). The Fort Atkinson Club is a non-profit community center rather than a dedicated events facility. We had our own event planner to ensure everything went smoothly for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding the next day--and it did.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
