Booking our wedding at HMP was the first of many great decisions we made in planning our wedding. All the following great decisions we made were thanks to their amazing list of preferred vendors. With help from HMP, we assembled a vendor team that was easy, fun, and professional to work with. HMP along with the rest of our vendors helped us to navigate a number of issues that came up our wedding week, including pivoting to an indoor ceremony at the last minute, and we remain so grateful for their flexibility and kindness. Our friends and family told us all night what a beautiful venue we had found, and what kind folks were around on the day of the wedding to help it go off without a hitch. We recommend them without a doubt. Whatever your day shapes up to be, whether it’s what was originally planned or not, HMP will ensure it is spectacular and exactly what it was meant to be.

The venue is breathtakingly beautiful and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful setting for our wedding. The lush greenery, beautiful willow tree (under which we got married), warmth of the barn, and quiet and intimate setting, on a crisp cloudy fall day, set the mood for a cozy and memorable event. What makes this venue truly special is the owners Stephanie and Brian who have retained the charm of this rustic setting while providing all necessary modern amenities (central air in the barn, impeccably clean and well maintained restroom and grounds). Shout out to Stephanie for patiently answering our many questions, providing helpful resources and guidance throughout the process, being incredibly organized, and just an awesome person to work with all around. Although Stephanie has helped organize so many weddings at Harvest Moon Pond, I appreciate her kindness and consideration to each couple tying the knot there and respecting how important and special the day is to them. She helped us coordinate a fun fusion of our Indian and American cultures by accommodating more than one caterer. She was also accommodating of our vision to add incandescent lighting that filled the barn with a warm glow. We cannot thank you enough! -

Leighann Sent on 01/07/2022Harvest Moon Pond met even our highest (almost unrealistic) expectations!
In a venue, we wanted versatility with extremely high (almost unrealistic) expectations. We wanted it all - a private barn/country setting with history, but new/modern updates without losing the original charm; somewhere between downtown Madison and the Wisconsin Dells; different locations to choose from for the ceremony that felt unique from the reception area, yet still on-site; indoor and outdoor social settings for guests to experience (i.e. bar, patio, fireplace, pond, walking path, etc.); a space large enough to accommodate up to 200 guests, but small enough to feel cozy and inviting; parking; easy access for vendors (i.e. full kitchen and simple transitions throughout the day/night); endless photo backdrop options regardless of weather; but ultimately, a venue that was beautiful all on its own without a single piece of décor. In addition, our "checklist" of "wants or perks" (not needs/must-haves), were also checked off of our long list. We found ALL of this and more in Harvest Moon Pond. Owners, Stephanie and Brian are organized, communicative, honest, natural problem-solvers, and incredible to work with in every aspect. They pour every bit of creative energy they have into improving an already perfect wedding venue and are always proactively seeking feedback. Throughout the wedding planning process, we became so close with Stephanie and Brian that not having them at our wedding day would have felt like a close friend or family member RSVP'd with their regrets. Thankfully their schedule allowed for both of them to be present on our most special day and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way! We are beyond lucky to have found Harvest Moon Pond as a physical location, but also to have found the entire team behind making it what it is today. -

Ohh.. this place, these people, and the day you’ll have if you book here. I can’t say enough about this venue and my experience at HMP. What an absolute dream come true. I hired an event planner for my wedding and HMP was very accommodating in meeting our requests to change things up and really
allowed us to make this day solely about us and bring our own vision to life. The compliments on the venue alone have not let up. All of my guests were so amazed by this place. Stephanie and Brian are both so fun to work with and are so kind. Stephanie takes some behind the scene pics during the day and sends them to the bride.. which is just so fun to see as the day really does go by much too fast. Elena was also such a delight to work with. She’s so sweet and jumps in to help in anyway she can. My only “complaint” would be that no one told me I’d feel SO attached to this place, this crew, and the memories they helped me make. I still get quite emotional just thinking about it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Harvest Moon Pond. You will forever be so very special to us. -

Brittany Sent on 08/23/2020Gorgeous renovated barn with amazing outdoor areas
This was the perfect venue for our wedding. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was. The various outdoor/indoor spots for the ceremony are all nice options. The outdoor and indoor bars were awesome. The outdoor patio with fireplace and pizza oven is gorgeous as is the renovated barn. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue. The owners are amazing as well and ensured everything ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend this venue. -

Harvest Moon Pond is the perfect wedding venue! This wedding barn is absolutely stunning and has everything you could ever ask for in a venue for your big day. We could go on and on about how beautiful this venue is, but the staff is arguably the best part about the place! Even our guests gushed about how wonderful the staff was. Kari and Stephanie are so kind, down-to-earth, and beyond helpful! We were lucky enough to be their very first wedding as new owners of the barn, and it is hard to believe they haven't been doing this for years. They helped us plan every detail of our big day, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of. They are so easy to communicate with and are always just a call/text/email away! We are so grateful we chose Harvest Moon Pond, and we would highly recommend it to any newly engaged couples in the Wisco area! -

Morgan Sent on 06/19/2019Amazing!
This was the best venue ever! Renee is an outstanding person to work with an acts as a day of wedding planner, ensuring everything runs smoothly. The venue is gorgeous, indoors and out, so you can't go wrong even if it rains. We had 225 guests and there was plenty of room for an outdoor wedding. It would've been very cramped (but doable) as an indoor wedding though so take that into consideration

Becca Sent on 09/08/2017I left Renee and Gary a raving review on their Facebook page but they went above and beyond for our wedding on 8/11/17! Renee was very experienced and almost acted like a day of coordinator for us. She was extremely attentive and knowledgeable and I can't say enough nice things about their staff and their venue! The grounds are absolutely amazing and they are perfect for pictures and an outdoor ceremony! Our guests raved about the venue and I credit the staff at The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond for our flawless event! -

Emily Sent on 12/28/2016I couldn't have dreamed of a more gorgeous barn venue. Their place has all the charm of a real barn on the inside, with the year-round comfort of an insulated, heated/cooled, newly constructed facility. Absolutely beautiful grounds for taking photos, too. The Whirry family was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. 1,000% recommend! -

Jaeca Sent on 05/31/2015Our wedding is in September 2015, but I booked the barn in July 2014 after falling in love with the place as soon as I stepped through the doors. Ever since then, Renee has been a blessing to work with. She responds to my e-mails promptly (no more than 24-48 hours, if that!), she puts up with my incessant questions (we have tons of e-mail back and forth), and she and Gary are very accommodating when it comes to visiting the site. After working with her for almost a year now, I'm so completely satisfied that our wedding will be a truly magical day with the help of the two amazing owners. It truly eases the stress a bride has throughout the course of wedding planning! -

Rebecca Sent on 10/09/2019Beautiful Barn with great facilities
The barn itself and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. We got so many compliments from our guests and even some vendors that had never been there before. The barn has everything (bathrooms, AC, heat, getting ready space etc.) and gave us the flexibility to work with our choice of vendors. -
