(36)

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.

Incorporate special details into your day! Larissa asked her matron of honor Hailee if her husband Tom could create a custom, wooden ring dish. He is a very skilled woodworker! And Miller's mom gifted him these "Mr. G" cufflinks before the special day - a nod to his late grandfather, Mr. Gruenewald. 🩷

As we approach the season kickoff this spring, we are busy at work cleaning, gardening, scrubbing, organizing, planting flowers, buying furniture 😆 and so much more.

The beautiful U-shaped head table 🥰

This is our favorite way to do a head table if you are going to include your wedding party. It allows everyone to see the bride and groom during dinner, while still being together. Of course, if a couple wants to do something different or take the route of doing a sweetheart table, we always accommodate! 😉

Couples are encouraged to decorate how they want and often times the most beautiful florals are added to the space to draw attention to the hosts of the night!

You can be at ease when you book with Garden Valley Gatherings because you get the entire weekend! The ceremony can be the most stressful, so having rehearsal the day before with the entire wedding party and all those involved assures everyone knows where they need to be and when.

Also, it's a great opportunity to have a welcome dinner on Friday night to kickoff the weekend with a more intimate group!

Don't we all deserved to look as happy as Amanda and Devon?! 😀🥰

Our Story

The Venue Garden Valley Gatherings is an enchanting, rustic-style venue perfect for not only weddings, but also reunions, anniversaries, and other unique events. Visitors can relax when attending an event at Garden Valley Gatherings because Wisconsin weather won't ruin the day. 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, Garden Valley Gatherings will be easy for both you and your guests to find.

The history and charm of the century old 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 farm is surrounded by natural rolling hills and beautifully groomed fields. Guests will enjoy this quaint country charm tucked away in Wisconsin’s rolling hills during their special day. Provide your guests with a unique countryside setting they will never forget. Whether it’s a wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or company party, Garden Valley Gatherings will make a wonderful place to spend time with your friends and family.

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.
