Unique Venue Help!

My fiancé and I had reserved our date, September 20th, 2014, at a new venue that would be opening soon to the public in Delafield, WI.  They've just informed us that they will no longer be holding weddings due to some unforeseeable block by the DOT.  We aren't sure when they'll be able to fix this issue, so we're back to the drawing boards and it's really scary considering many places are booked!

Does anyone have any ideas for a unique venue near central (Madison) or southeastern (Waukesha area) Wisconsin?  The place we had reserved was a barn and bed and breakfast, and the part I loved most about it was that the nature surrounding the venue was amazing. I don't like the look of hotels or plain banquet halls. I feel like it might be too late to be that picky, though

We appreciate any and all of your suggestions!

Just north of Madison in Poynette is Harvest Moon. It is a barn and is absolutely gorgeous. We considered them but they weren't big enough to hold both ceremony and reception since we are getting married in November.

Have you checked out Olympia Resort? Its in Oconomowoc. Its not a barn but its not super fancy either. The outdoor area is really gorgeous and its not a bad price at all.

We're doing the Madison Masonic Center for our reception which is different than the traditional banquet venue (and it's super duper cheap)--but is not necessarily the country chic venue.  Some other unique ones we looked into include the Majestic Theatre, Century Barns, the Union South, Goodman Community Center, and one that I'm totally blanking on that's out in the middle of nowhere but is super gorgeous (not super helpful but will post if I can remember the name--believe it's owned by the City of Madison even).

Seven Seas! It's right up the road from your previous venue and on a Beautiful Property on Nagawicka Lake.  Stunning sunset views.  Summer 2014 dates still open for indoor and outdoor weddings.  www.sevenseaswi.com

Check out community centers in places/cities you like. Usually they back-up to a park or something so you could work it out to be mostly or completely outside. My brother just booked the community center in Waunakee and they will have there ceremony outside in the "park" with a gazebo! Don't give up-- you'll find something. Remain flexible but don't give up on your vision. Remember that amazing things can be done with decorations. If you get stuck with an indoor venue, check out home depot, they have some great "fencing" that is like reed and it comes in 16" rolls and you could line your walls to give a rustic feel.
