Our primary space within the venue is known as Camden Hall. This area can comfortably accommodate any size of reception up to 350, with two modern bars and direct access to the outdoor patio.

The outdoor patio is ideal for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or a place to entertain and socialize throughout your celebration. We include high-top tables as well as outdoor heaters when needed. Not only can we host your ceremony/cocktail hour out on the patio, but we also encourage backyard games and things of that nature to entertain your guests.

BEST wedding venue in Wisconsin!

The wedding venue of our dreams, wow! We got married at The Valerie in April of 2025 and it was by far the absolute best day ever, and we are SO happy that we chose to have it at this venue. From our first initial tour and meeting with Matty and his team, it felt meant to be. Communication is important to us and their response time was second to none, and it helped make the planning process a breeze. Their team thought of everything from the little details to the big ones when designing and building the space. From the jaw-dropping bridal suite to the grooms suite, no venue in the state can compare to the morning/getting ready experience. The venue is so elegant, yet you can make it your own for your day. 10/10!

We might be bias, but we could not have dreamt of a better wedding and so much of it was thanks to The Valerie and the experience they provided for us!! I cannot recommend a better venue and team for those looking for a place to get married at!

Our day of coordinator Jennifer with The Valerie was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so responsive and didn't miss a beat. My family and us appreciated how communicative and friendly she was. She was so helpful in ensuring our party had everything we needed, and that the day ran smooth! From rehearsal to even days after the wedding, Jennifer is stellar at what she does!

Cannot recommend them enough

The Valerie was the perfect place for our wedding! They had everything there in one spot. Bridal suite, groomsman suite, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, patio, sunset photos. Even a hotel across the parking lot. Matty did a phenomenal job, brought us drinks and always asked how we were doing. Very responsive during the whole process. Everyone was professional and helpful. Communication was great. Cannot recommend this venue enough. I was worried about my theme being boho, and the venue being more modern but it turned out PERFECT! The venue is good for any theme, any couple.

Highly Recommend

We held our wedding at the Valerie on 9/21 and highly recommend! We were able to get ready, have our ceremony, and have our reception all in one place! The venue was beautiful, and we loved the included bridal and groom suites, the outdoor patio space, and fun up-lighting. The location is perfect with a hotel right across the street, ample parking, and downtown and parks close by perfect for photos.From the planning process to the end of the night, Matty and his team were fabulous to work with and helped everything run smoothly. With Matty, you could always count on a quick response to any question and he was eager to offer advice/recommendations as he has great knowledge of the wedding industry from his time as a DJ. 10/10 you definitely need to consider this venue!

The Valerie

A huge thanks to Matty and all those who made our Wedding a perfect day. On the first day we met with Matty to discuss the idea of having our wedding at The Valerie, he let us know that he was passionate about what he did, and he loves what he does. Over the next couple of months he proved himself time and time again. Whenever we had a question about the venue, or an idea we had for the wedding he was quick to respond and gave us direct answers. Matty and all of those who work at the Valerie were incredibly helpful during our entire planning process, and always should true Wisconsin hospitality.

Breathtaking

July 6, 2024

The Valerie was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding and more. When we booked the Valerie it was still in the building phases and we only had the pictures of the visions Matty had. We are so glad we believed in Matty’s vision because the venue is breathtaking. The venue just insanely beautiful from the suites, to the ceremony space, to the reception space, to the bars, and even the bathrooms.

The communication the Valerie provides is top notch! They are always quick to respond which is amazing when you are planning the wedding. Matty is always willing to help whether it’s with giving recommendations or helping answer questions. He also makes contact with the vendors you chose to talk to them about everything you need to know about the venue!

The day of the wedding was amazing, Matty and the point of contact helped so much to keep the day running smoothly. The bartenders were also amazing.

My husband and I have said many times over how we wish we could come up with another event to throw just so we can book this venue again!
