The tiki bar didn't seem to be open, but since I was driving anyway and we had a long day of meetings the next day I didn't miss it. Since I'm coming from Illinois I had to get the requisite Spotted Cow. A fly took a swim in my colleague's beer who was really looking forward to it after a long day of travel, and they were nice enough to give her a fresh one. I also got a freshly grilled brat and some chips for just $6 which feels like a steal these days. Overall a nice place to chill with a great view of the lake and can see why it might be a popular spot for events.

They were also much more affordable than every other venue we looked at in our area.

Madison bars never fail to introduce you to great people and good times!

We visited this stunning space to check out the winter farmers market in Madison this past weekend…read more They did a great job at renovating the space to become a food hall, spa and event space. It worked perfectly for the farmers market. Both the exterior and interior were beautiful with plentiful parking available. If I lived in the Madison area, I would definitely consider the spot as an ideal venue. If we had more time, we would've checked out the spa that is located inside. They also offer a kombucha business, bar and several other eateries under the same roof.

In our meetings leading up to the wedding Todd was very helpful and able to offer suggestions, even when we had no clue what we wanted. During the wedding Todd kept things moving and kept the dancefloor going! Literally it never emptied! The DJ was one of the most important parts for the wedding for us and we can't say enough good things and would highly recommend Celebrations!

The professionalism and personality of the DJ were exceptional. He greeted people at the entrance, interacted with the guests, and pretty much MC'd the whole reception. I had many of the wedding guests come up to me to let me know how impressed they were with the DJ. The mix of music was such there were people on the dance floor from the beginning to the end. And that was with a crowd ranging from teenagers to folks in their 80s. I would recommend Celebration Entertainment to anyone needing DJ services.

The barn was nice and clean. They have beautiful bathrooms. The wedding ceremony was at 500pm in front of the oldest hickory tree in the county. They set up 200 chairs with an aisle down the middle for the wedding party to enter. The property has a nice area to take pictures and enjoy and outdoor pre-reception. Our reception was inside the barn we ate comfortably and heard bride and groom stories, prayer, a charge from the father of the bride. Dinner was catered by Thunder Bay Grill. The wedding party DJ played nice taped music during the dinner. Dessert was a cheesecake. At the end of the reception we launched balloons with lights in them sending off in the air on a new adventure, just like the bride and groom. A beautiful night. I highly recommend this facility.

If you're visiting Madison, Wisconsin, add Olbrich Botanical Gardens to your list…read more We went in the off-season and it was still absolutely beautiful. The conservatory feels like stepping into a mini jungle--lush greenery, colorful orchids, and that warm, humid air that makes you forget it's winter outside for a minute. It's such a peaceful stop if you're looking for something relaxing, something scenic, or just want a quiet break from exploring the city. Honestly, I can only imagine how stunning this place is in peak bloom--but even off-season, it's 100% worth it. If you're building a Madison itinerary, this one's a must-see

Came to Madison for a bike ride around Monona Lake. After lunching at Ian's Pizza (at Garver Feed…read moreMill) we took some time to stroll through Olbrich Botanical Gardens. First time, and boy were we impressed. Most of the garden is free, with the exception of the Bolz Conservancy which is $6/person. Very reasonable pricing. There is lots to see. And if you wanted to see it all without rushing through, you should probably set aside a couple of hours. There is ample parking in a lot out front. Inside you will find the information desk, a gift shop, entrance to the conservatory, or doors to take you back outside to the many different garden spaces. We walked through the Great Lawn, the Prairie Dropseed, Perennial Gardens, and ended up a the Thai Pavillion & Gardens. Most of the walking is in shade, which helped a lot on this very hot day. There is lots more to see, so we will definitely need to come back.
