Rustic Wedding Venue?

in Wisconsin
Me and my fiance are looking for a rustic wedding venue for ceremony and reception in the Milwaukee/Madison area.  We really want an outdoor ceremony with a country feel.  We really liked the Enchanted Barn in northern Wisconsin but its a little far away. Any ideas?

    I've never been, but I've seen it mentioned several times on here-- The Schlitz Audobon center in Milwaukee

    The Golden Mast is a beautiful location and I believe they have a spot for and an outdoor wedding. If you really want to get rustic then Old World Wisconsin in Eagle (near Mukwonago) has a barn that was turned into a banquet hall with pretty wild flower gardens around it that guests can stroll through. Think thats as rustic as it gets.

    Badger Farms in Deerfield (25 min east of Madison) might be along the lines of what you're looking for (www.badgerfarms.com)  HTH

    I was at an August wedding at Old World WI...Probably the most beautiful one I've been to yet.  It was rustic but not super casual.  Still formal and all of the guests still rave about the venue...and this was in 2006. Happy hunting!

    I'm not from Wisconsin, my family is, but the wedding will be there. We wanted a rustic feel as well. We visited a few places and decided to go with the Schlitz. They have quite a few options and the actual "green" building is beautiful. The room is all wood, beautifully varnished wood, big open windows that overlook the lake, and a fireplace. There is also a pavilion and an auditorium you can rent. It's beautiful! Also, all around the "green" building are wildflowers and prairie. It's just outside of Milwaukee. The woman who runs it is a little hard to get a hold of though, it takes her a few days to a week to email back and she prefers email to phone.

    The Spring Brook Estate is absolutely phenomonal! It's located in Burnett, WI. We went to take a tour of it and it has the olden day church, a log cabin, and an Inn with the palace being located down town where the reception is held at.  You take a horse drawn carriage ride after the ceremony to the palace. The land that this place is located on is extremely beautiful! It has a couple ponds and has a lot of birds that flock there during different times of the year, making it the perfect place for pictures! Everything there is definitely antique! You get everything for the entire weekend, for the low price of 2500.00, the cheapest but most beautiful place in Wisconsin!!!!!! Hope this helps!

    I always thought that Whistling Straits golf course would be the most gorgeous place to get married.  It's on the WI coastline in Kohler, and they basically carved out an ode to Ireland. They have a big barn that's open to the outdoors and they even have a flock of sheep.  Amazing.
