Garden Valley Gatherings

Garden Valley Gatherings ​Garden Valley Gatherings is an enchanting, rustic-style Wisconsin wedding venue. Our woodland site is located at our family tree farm in Hixton, WI.

With both indoor and outdoor options for hosting guests, the party can adjust to weather conditions by moving all or part of the festivities inside the barn. Conveniently located just 7 miles off of Interstate 94 and only 35 minutes south of Eau Claire, Garden Valley Gatherings will be easy for both you and your guests to find. Don't let the 5 minute drive scare you as it is an absolutely beautifu

l and whimsical location! Wally (Kristin's dad) is welcoming to wedding parties here and offers his house for hiding the bridal party before the ceremony. There is an additional fee of $500 for rental of portable toilets, setup and cleanup at this location. The history and charm of the century old Wisconsin dairy barn still remains. The wrap around deck looks out to rolling hills and provides a perfect area to sip wine and watch the sun set. The old barn is an original, not duplicated. It is beautifully decorated with tables and chairs giving a charming touch as you gather in a home type atmosphere creating lifetime memories. This is a great location for social hour after a wedding ceremony. Garden Valley Gatherings has a liquor license and can serve beer, wines, liquors and specializes in homemade lemonade. We have the ability to serve your signature drinks in the barn and throughout your evening. After social hour, guests will be seated in the newly built (summer 2020) pavilion and enjoy a meal of your choice. You will have the freedom to choose your own caterer. We have many referrals to help with all your decisions. Choose a DJ who has the ability to service music during the ceremony, transition to reception area, and finally the dance area. Most guests enjoy all the outdoor space we have created with manicured lawns and flower gardens. If you choose our venue, you are creating an experience your guests will enjoy as they will create lifetime memories. The farm is surrounded by natural rolling pastures and beautifully groomed farm pastures. Guests will enjoy this quaint country charm as they are likely to see cows roaming pastures during their special day. Provide your guests with a unique Wisconsin dairy farm experience, they will never forget. Whether its a wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or company party, our venue will make a wonderful place to spend time with your friends and family.

We had the privilege of hosting the wedding of two people who mean a lot to us, especially our very own Liz!
If you’ve ever been to an event at Garden Valley Gatherings, you’ve probably seen Liz behind the bar, keeping everything running smoothly and making sure every glass is filled (and every shot of tequila at the end of the night is poured just right 😉).
Watching her step out from behind the bar and into the spotlight as a bride was lovely to witness.
Liz, we are so lucky to have you as part of our GVG family, and now, seeing you and Chad start your next chapter together fills our hearts with so much joy.
Wishing you both endless laughter, love, and of course...many more tequila toasts. 🥂

We love celebrating traditions here at GVG, and one of our favorites is snapping a photo of the bride before she heads down to our woodland ceremony site!
As many of you know, the woodland site is tucked away at my dad Wally’s tree farm in Hixton. While guests arrive and make their way back to the woods, Wally warmly welcomes the wedding party. Then, just a few minutes before the ceremony begins, we help the bride into his van, and Wally drives her back to the woods.

It’s a small but meaningful role he treasures, getting to meet each couple and be part of such a special moment in their day. ❤️

The History What really sets this venue apart from the rest is that it is owned and operated by a local family farm just down the road. For the last several years, the barn retired from farming purposes and has since been transformed into a dream-fulfilled business. The owner’s passion and creative mindset allowed her to see the potential in a neglected, century-old dairy barn. Less than a mile down the road from Garden Valley Gatherings lies Pfaffsway Farms. The farm is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Steve and Kristin Pfaff. The family farm is a second-generation dairy farm in West Central Wisconsin.
