"The Covenant was the absolute perfect venue for us. Truly the venue of my dreams. Every space is the best combination of "blank slate to make your own" and "so breathtakingly beautiful you don't even need to bring anything for decor." Hannah was there with us every step of the way through the planning process and was wonderful to work with. On the day of, she and her team made set up a breeze allowing us to drop off decor items the day before and thinking of all the little things we didn't. We'd think of items we still needed to set up and find that Hannah's team had already taken care of it. The food was also amazing. The Culinary Infusion menu offered great selections for any taste and was fantastic accommodating a vegetarian bride. Many of our guests remarked that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The rental options are also beautiful and very reasonably priced and made completing our center pieces and accent tables so easy. My bridesmaids and I also stayed in the attached Airbnb the night before, which made getting ready the next day so easy. The Covenant at Murray Mansion is the perfect venue for lovers of anything vintage and historic who are looking for a wonderful all-in-one wedding experience." - Cassie, December 2023.

Happy birthday to our favorite historic home! 2024 marks the 150th year of The Murray Mansion. Built in 1874 by Walter Blythe for George Murray, the property was well-known for its expansive gardens, festive parties, and farm that once hosted the Racine County Fair. While some small details may have changed throughout the century, we aim to keep the celebratory sprit of the mansion alive through the monumental events held year-round. 🥂🎂

“The Covenant at Murray Mansion was the most perfect place to have our wedding! The staff went above and beyond to assist us and make our day more than amazing. The week leading up to our wedding, Hanni was readily available for anything we needed and helped ease any stress or worry we had about certain details. Throughout the entire day and night, Hanni, Hannah, and the rest of the Covenant staff were attentive and kind and made us feel taken care of! The food was incredible, and they even assisted with running the day on schedule and kept us on our timeline. Our guests were raving about how beautiful everything was and how great and nice the staff were. We had the most perfect day thanks to The Covenant at Murray Mansion and if I had to do it all over again, I would pick this venue in a heartbeat.” - Stephanie, October 2023

The alter in The Covenant makes for the perfect ceremony backdrop. Add an elegant centerpiece to the already stunning all-white interior architecture and the results will be breathtaking! The design possibilities are endless. 💕

Quite the exciting night. An SUV ran into the corner stoplight then hit the back of The Covenant about 1:30AM. Damage is to the back-of-house….main space and mansion were not affected. Thank goodness no one was killed!

Meet Anna! While she's "new" this time around, she was part of our team back in her high school days. We are SO happy to have her ----- this girl is a powerhouse in overseeing the staff and will do anything possible to make your event a smooth, stress-free success. But I'll let her share in her own words....... welcome (back) Anna!!!

"Hi there! I am Anna. I joined the Culinary Infusion AGAIN in 2023 after being away in La Crosse for the past 13 years. I started here in the early days of Culinary Infusion (even before Culinary Infusion when we were still L&M Meats!) and loved learning the ropes – it has been great being back! Wedding days can be overwhelming but my role is to be by your side and help in any way possible. This is day one of your new life together and I am so honored to be a part of this step! My favorite part of wedding day is the first dance, where not only the couple looks so happy – but family members and friends have an overwhelming reaction too. There is so much love in the room! Look forward to meeting you when you're at our venues next!"

Drop a quick "hello" to Anna in the comments below. We are SO lucky to have her as part of our work family!

Grateful to have this amazing, strong team of women to lean on each and every day. We spend more time together than we do at home, and usually spend over a year working with our clients ---- we're in it for the long haul. And while wedding planning may be "fun", what brings us to life is watching a couple's vision come together on wedding day. Seeing the tables get set, the centerpieces getting placed, the florals arriving, the DJ setting up, the wedding party getting pumped, the guests arriving ------ not many other jobs do you get to be a part of such an important day in someone's life. And when that day arrives, this team of ladies is here for whatever you need - call us your Event Planner, Motivator, Cheerleader, Counselor, Dress Bustler, Boutonnière Pinner, Hype Girl…..we’re here for you in whatever role you need us to bel! 💕💍🥂 If you're having your wedding at The Covenant at Murray Mansion, Upper East - Kenosha, or Circa on Seventh, you're part of this family. Welcome!!
