Great Venue

Myrick Park Center is very hands-off venue with a lot of freedom to customize your event day and the vendors you choose. Highly recommend.

Unique space for a memorable wedding!

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for us than the Myrick Park Center! Would be 5 stars all around, but since we're not La Crosse residents we had to pony up some extra cash - so not as great of a value for us, but still well worth it!

We booked this space because we wanted something unique, intimate, and natural and this venue checked all the boxes.

Tammy and her team were great to work with throughout the planning process - from answering our questions, taking lots of random building measurements, and even shifting our rental hours just a few weeks before the wedding. Planning from a few hours away could not have been easier.

We rented the whole venue for the weekend, and did our ceremony & happy hour in the atrium and served dinner in the Marshview room. We had about 110 guests for a seated buffet dinner.

The staff on site during our rental time went above and beyond making sure everything was running smoothly while staying behind the scenes.

The cherry on top was that our rental fee went towards their WisCorp efforts.

We were allowed to bring in all of our own vendors, and could serve beer & wine (no liquor). We did lots of DIY decorating to spruce up the space but tried to bring the natural bits to light (the eagle & falcon displays) rather than cover them up. We also rented the new fairy lights and had them installed ahead of time - well worth the extra $$$!

A note for anyone planning an outdoor ceremony - check the schedule for the nearby UW football stadium! If they're playing a game or running an event, the announcers can be heard clearly from the Park Center!

Beautiful Venue and photo opportunities

We chose Myrick for 2 reasons- it’s picturesque setting and because we could bring in our own vendors.
The photos when you search it just don’t do it justice- it truly is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been and set an amazing stage for not only our photos but our guests as well- I saw comments everywhere of people asking where it was because it was so gorgeous. We chose the whole weekend package so we wouldn’t have to clean up the night of- we encountered a few hiccups (which will happen at some point in any wedding with one thing or another) but the staff at myrick was able to correct the issues.
If you’re looking to do a lot of things yourself (finding caterers and drinks and setting up/ tearing down) I’d definitely recommend this gorgeous venue, your photos will be worth it.
