A shorter review since I was just here on a random Monday evening meeting up some co-workers who…read moreI'd never met in person before. 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 allow you to bring your own food and alcohol which is rare among venues in our area and they have a ton of amenities, including an AV system, table cloth rental, an outdoor fire pit, and a ton of beautiful outdoor spaces for photographs. They were also much more affordable than every other venue we looked at in our area.

This bar has excellent cocktails and friendly staff, featuring the kind of classy drinks I love but rarely indulge in (sidecars, manhattans, palomas, and more). Some nights they even feature a DJ! The prices are fair and the drinks are adequately strong!

After dining next door, we wanted to have a night cap nearby and Madison Local Motive, which is a…read moretrain car turned bar, was highly recommended, so we popped over. The space is two cars, with one set up as a full-time bar, and the other a mixed space that was a dance club on the night we visited. The bar car was super cute and quaint, but also tight and cramped, especially with a crowd. The car is set up with a single person bar towards the back, and lounge seating along one side leaving small space for folks to walk and wait for the bar. The other car had the bar up front and the dance floor and seating in the back. This car had a cover, so we just did cocktails and lounged a bit in the bar car. The single bartender, while he was friendly and made a good cocktail, created a backlog of folks waiting for drinks. We waited 10 minutes in a single file line for our cocktails. I went with the espresso martini, and my pal got an old fashioned. Both tasty, but the glassware was wayyyyy too small. The line never cleared, so we did one and done unfortunately. The concept is great, but execution is lacking. I know there is limited space, but the current layout and function is not the greatest, especially on the cocktail car side of things. Overall, it was cool to experience and now we can say we have done it.

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.

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.
