Weddings

We renovated our barn as a labor of love for our daughter’s wedding in 2012. Its 80 year-old patina is built of nothing less than the devotion, hard work, and tenacity of the Finns that settled our corner of the Wisconsin northwoods. We carry on that tradition by working as hard to make everyone’s wedding as special as our daughter’s was.

  • "This venue was everything I dreamed of for my wedding and more. Everyone who attended loved the environment and we were told by multiple people that our wedding was the best one they had attended."

    Megan

  • "The moment I ran across photos of the Brule River Barn during a search for venues, I fell in love. This was the only site we toured and as soon as I visited, I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else."

    Erica

  • "The Brule river wedding barn was the perfect cherry on top to a beautifully decorated wedding. I wouldn't imagine a better place to have married my partner."

    Tasha

  • "So many other venues we'd seen online allowed us to arrive by 8 am and be out before midnight. For us, this felt so rushed because we were having friends and family fly in from all over the world and every second together was important. At BRB, we truly felt that the value was family first!"

    Gemma

  • "If you need a wedding venue that feels all inclusive, THIS IS THE ONE. My husband and I used the venue for the full weekend and it was perfect. We had time to get decorations up, time to relax. It was perfect from the moment we stepped on the property."

    Brooke

  • "The Brule River Barn was an amazing venue for our wedding in June. It undoubtedly sets the gold standard for barn venues in the north woods."
