This wedding venue, located in Baldwin Wisconsin, is an absoulte dream to any bride and groom (or wedding photographer!). With how stunning this place is, I’m shocked it’s not the most popular wedding venue in all of Western Wisconsin! Located just south of I-94, it’s easy to get to, a short drive from the Twin Cities, and offers a peaceful and overall enchanting environment for any wedding or event! Formerly known as Mystical Rose Gardens, this Blooming Barrel wedding venue has some new owners and a lightly fresh feel. The photos in this blog post are from before the owner change, but don’t fret! It’s still just as gorgeous as it was before.
Unlike any other wedding venue in the St. Croix Valley, Blooming Barrel offers a greenhouse (yes, a greenhouse!!) and gorgeous gardens. You can easily picture any high end luxury wedding, dreamy garden/greenhouse wedding, or laid back and intimate celebration on these grounds.
The venue grounds offer a retreat house, which can be used for getting ready, resting and relaxing before the festivities begin, storing wedding party bags, etc. The layout of the buildings is ideal for the optimal flow of a wedding day, allowing the bride or groom to sneak in and out without seeing each other.
Following a family tragedy, what was once an operational greenhouse, eventually turned into a dream wedding venue. Lori is the sweetest and most genuine person you will meet (seriously, you will LOVE her) and she is so transparent and open about her story. You can read all about it here. After losing her husband, Mark, Lori decided it was time for a change and started her dream of making this greenhouse a wedding venue. In 2010, she officially opened the doors again, celebrating the new life of the dream they built together. Now, Trent and Chelsy have given this venue a fresh face and new name to go with it.
As far as logistics, this venue holds up to 250 people, including the 16 that can fit at the head table. The packages are sweet and simple, no fuss or hidden fees being tacked on left and right. Their pricing ranges from $4,500 to $6,999. SUPER reasonable pricing given how gorgeous this place is.
I could go on about all the beautiful little details of this place, but you really just have to see it for yourself! Check out the full site here and inquire for your 2027 wedding (availability dependent) or 2028 wedding!
