Getting Ready Suites
Indoor Ceremony
As soon as you walk through the front doors you can see that The Eloise is different, a standalone unique wedding venue. Through these doors is the first story loft which is dedicated for an indoor ceremony and overlooks the grand reception hall. The warm tone of the wood floors, elegant gold chandeliers, and subtle white walls provide the perfect romantic setting to say your I do’s. The backdrop to your indoor ceremony is the lush forest through the reception wall of windows and the dramatic reception hall chandeliers.
The multiple sets of dimmable track lights ensures that you and your entire wedding party will be the center of the attention during your ceremony and not be lost in the stunning high ceilings of The Eloise. The audio system runs the entire length of the venue so you will never have to worry that your guests will miss a single word of your vows. As the ceremony concludes, you and your guests begin to move towards the next memorable moments of your wedding; a delicious dinner, passionate and funny speeches, and dancing the night away to all of your favorite songs.
We loved the ease of going from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception all in one place. Their grounds were immaculate, so we were able to stay onsite to take photos as well. We simply LOVE The Eloise, it was worth every penny and will always hold a special place in our hearts! - Melanie Bressler Mill (Google and The Knot Review)
Outdoor Ceremony
Need to step out and get some fresh air to cool off those dancing shoes or take golden hour pictures? Go outside through the back terrace to enjoy Southern Wisconsin’s rolling hills that The Eloise property has to offer. The Eloise is nestled into the countryside and sits along a picturesque forest with prairie grass and wildflowers. It is the ideal backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and pictures. The natural landscape with tall prairie grasses and vibrant wildflowers are perfect for those golden hour pictures. Or just relax and enjoy a laugh or two at the back terrace on our patio furniture under the cafe lights. Additionally, there is plenty of outdoor space for your guests to enjoy yard games or just sit around a fire at our dedicated fire pit.
Looking to get married outside, don’t worry, we have you covered. The outdoor ceremony space is extremely accessible for guests with sidewalk paths from the parking lot and back of the venue. The smooth pathway of the sidewalk makes it much easier to walk down the aisle without having to worry about getting stuck in the dense grass.
The outdoor ceremony space is one of the most unique design features of the property. It was intentionally built up so you and your guests have an elevated view of the forest. Instead of barren tree trunks, your photographer will be capturing the beautiful foliage of the forest as your backdrop during your I do’s. The forest is a rich green in the spring and summer and a vibrant display of yellow and orange in the fall months. Bring your custom archway, floral displays, and decor pieces to make your ceremony Pinterest worthy and one that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
