Sarah Higgins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2022 My wedding was September 16th, 2022. I had the most beautiful experience. Clarissa helped me through the whole process and worked with me on all of the details. She kept me involved, but not enough where I was ever stressed. I am so grateful for her, and for Katelyn too for helping make my wedding day the very best I could have imaged. Our guest RAVED about the beautiful space and since the weather was PERFECT so many enjoyed the outside area and games. I couldn't have chosen a better fit for our vision and I will forever be so grateful. Oh and lastly the bed and breakfast was amazing!! And so was breakfast the morning after! What a nice touch to end an absolute treasured experience! Thank you! Reviewed on 15-10-2022

This was a beautiful venue with lovely staff. Their grounds are perfect for photos. We absolutely loved our stay in the on-site bed and breakfast, it made our night so stress-free and comfortable after a long day!

Rustic Manor is a great venue! It has a ton of beautiful picture locations, they're very responsive, and have monthly open house nights that make it super convenient to be able to view it ahead of time. I went to multiple open houses to show different people the venue and have various questions answered. I also emailed some questions along the way and always got a response back quickly.

We loved how smooth everything was with the help of the month wedding planner, and Whitney, the owner, was our photographer and she made my husband who is in a wheelchair feel like he could be like any other groom.

We live out of state so we sent our parents to one of their open houses last year and everyone was immediately impressed by the grounds and the staff. Due to being an out of town bride, I had to do a ton of emailing and questioning asking on details, and they were happy to respond to each thing and we're extremely prompt in doing so. We used day of planning to take stress off of us and our moms and it was so worth it. Alicia was wonderful and made sure all our decorations and ideas were placed perfectly and even more that they day went smoothly. Overall, we can't recommend Rustic Manor more as your wedding venue!

Then, COVID happened and we had to postpone twice... but each time, RM worked with us and were extremely accommodating, for which we were so grateful. RM provided us everything we needed, and more. They were patient and helpful throughout our wedding planning process, answering every single question we had. We were also so happy with all of the additional services we purchased. The photo booth provided so much fun and great memories for us and our guests. The string lights are beautiful and it was nice to not have to go through the hassle of putting them up ourselves.

Ashley McDermott(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2020 We just celebrated our wedding at Rustic Manor on 10/2/2020. I booked the venue over two years ago. I hired Whitney, the owner, as my wedding planner. I cannot say enough positive things about her and the venue. Due to covid, we had to postpone from 6/13 to 10/2. Whitney did absolutely everything in order for us to postpone and confirmed everything with our vendors. The “all inclusive” wedding planning package included Whitney doing everything for the wedding. She was the point of contact for all vendors, developed the time line, the room lay out, and did all put up/tear down of decor. My level of stress for the wedding was so minuscule due to her taking on all the big tasks and reaching out to me just to make decisions on options. She was great at finding ways to have all the things we wanted while still staying on budget. Whitney was always available and made my dream wedding come to life. Me and my girls got to the barn around 9am and got ready in the bridal suite all day. We had breakfast and lunch delivered, music playing, and the bar was open the entire time. We got married in the barn’s hayloft, took photos on their beautiful grounds, and danced all night in the reception area. We are still getting compliments on the venue. Whitney was there the entire day keeping us on schedule and moving things along to make sure none of the big moments were missed. After our send off, Whitney and her staff, Alicia, packed everything up and help load my parents car. Whitney reached out the next morning to check in on me and my new husband. For the quality of service and the beauty of the venue, the cost is well worth it. My husband and I got our fairy tale wedding and couldn’t be happier. Reviewed on 04-10-2020

None of my friends have been able to do that at their weddings.While the cost for Rustic Manor seems high, you have to realize that with the cost you have the beautiful barn and surrounding land in addition to the comfort of knowing you are working with a team that truly cares about your wishes and vision.

Maggie Seed(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2015 We had our wedding at the Rustic Manor this fall and it turned out absolutely amazing! Everything ran so smoothly and it allowed us to really enjoy our day and celebrate our marriage with all of our loved ones! The venue and property are so beautiful and the bartenders and staff were so helpful and accommodating! All of our friends and family loved the rustic barn and it gave us a romantic atmosphere, but it still felt very laid back and true to who we are as a couple. Whitney, Eric, and Ashley were all wonderful to work with and we highly recommend Rustic Manor! We truly had the best day ever! Reviewed on 01-12-2015
Debbie Hagen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2015 Whitney and Eric, the owners and Ashley, the wedding planner did a wonderful job helping us to make sure our weddding day was perfect! In the days leading up to the big day they were there to help us plan out the layout, what we were going to serve for drinks, have a list of our vendors to direct them where to go, as well as having a shuttle available to bring our guests to and from their hotels. They were present throughout the entire event just in case there were any issues and would bring anything questionable (like an out of hand bar tab that the bridal party rang up) to our attention immediately. We got to stay in the B&B the night of our wedding and the room was so beautiful! Eric helped to bring our luggage to our room and let us know what time breakfast would be served before saying goodnight. The room had a giant comfy king bed and full bathroom with huge shower for two. Breakfast was served the next morning and we got to eat the most delicious biscuits and gravy!! I could go on and on about this place!\r\rThe barn, the grounds, the house, everything is so breathtakingly beautiful! There is so much room to spread out and relax and stroll through the walking paths. The colors in the fall make it that much more wonderful!! You will definitely fall in love with this place when you see it!\r\rThe Rustic Manor 1848 staff definitely went above and beyond in everything they do for their clients. Reviewed on 13-11-2015
Sarah Vieth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2015 We had our wedding at the PERFECT venue, Rustic Manor. The venue is full of charm and elegance. The grounds are breath taking. The venue itself needs very little decor, it shines on its own. The staff was tentative and helful. We used their planner on site Ashley and she was the best help! I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding! :) Reviewed on 12-10-2015
Sam Heindl(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2015 Not just the venue, but everything they provided us with. The service was great, our guests wanted for nothing. Set up and break down was easy with the help and support of the staff. \r\rThe venue was perfect, there were so many spots for photo opportunities and navigating the beautiful grounds was relaxing and inspiring, perfect for what could be a hectic day.\r\rAshley the coordinator we didn't see to often, and that was great. We had met with her a few times previous to our date and even with the numerous changes that we either had to make or chose to make Ashley came through for us working with our wedding party and support team to make sure Sam and I were able to enjoy ourselves as much as we could, which was immeasurable. \r\rWhitney the venue owner was amazing. We fully expected that if she were to be at the wedding to see her dressed the part. However, she worked along side her staff to make sure that our day was just as perfect. \r\rMy wife and I didn't know what to expect from a new venue like Rustic, but they were so committed to our wedding we left wanted to reserve our 10 year, 25 year and beyond. Our wedding day was so perfect and so amazing and Rustic was an integral part of that. \r\rWe can not thank them enough for everything they did for us. Reviewed on 28-09-2015
Amanda Bartoshevich(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2015 The Rustic Manor is the most beautiful place to get married. It was everything that I imagined for our wedding day. There are many breathtaking photo opportunities. We received many compliments from our guests. They enjoyed the outdoor games and the trails around the property. They also expressed how nice the staff and bartenders were. Whitney, one of the owners, was very good at answering any questions we had leading up to our big day. My only criticism is that we were told that we would have help from the owners and staff with setting up decorations and guiding vendors and guests on where to go but when we met for our 1 month meeting we were told that we were responsible for that. We ended up hiring the wedding coordinator, Ashley for a few hours the day of our wedding. I am so glad we did. She was wonderful and really took some of the stress off myself and our families. She decorated, showed vendors where to set up, helped with cuing the DJ and bridal party for the ceremony, and made sure everything ran smoothly. If I had to go back and do it again I would still choose Rustic Manor. Since this is only their first year I know they will only continue to improve the overall experience. Reviewed on 26-09-2015
Jessica Volk(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2015 Rustic Manor 1838's response to our review on their other page:\rWe are truly disappointed in the fact that you feel that we let you down on your special day. We admit, there were a few errors in communication and for that we apologize. Unfortunately, our evening end vacate policy and no flame policy are ones we've enforced from the beginning as stated in all contracts but again, we apologize if this information was somehow unclear to you and your family. The issue with your bridal party carrying in alcohol is something we address immediately as we take this violation of the law very seriously, as stated to you numerous times leading up to your big day. I'm sorry if sound to some of your guests was an issue but we will be sure to address your concern with the DJ you contracted as we have no control over their sound equipment. Many issues and/or problems can arise the day of a wedding and we do our very best to ensure all of our guests are safely enjoying themselves from start to finish. It is unfortunate that we seemed to have fallen short of your expectations of us but wish you and your new husband the absolute best in your new lives together.\r\rOur Response to Rustic Manor since it will not let us respond back:\rThank you for admitting to errors in communication. Your evening end vacate policy was not in the contract we signed and we can provide you with that confirmation as we still have it. We never signed a new contract where you had your new policies so it is very unfortunate that they were not communicated with well enough to have a stress free day, happy day for both parties. Also, we understand your policy for carrying in alcohol; however, we cannot be responsible for/control other people; therefore, we were upset with the interruption and aggravated tone when on our way to cut our cake to discuss this matter and be threatened with charges. A suggestion in the future would be to address any matters the day of with either the maid of honor or best man as to let the bride and groom have an entire stress free day. Also, If we would have been communicated with there being a sound issue for guests sitting in the upper loft from previous weddings (which I am sure has been an issue) we would have gladly had our DJ set up equipment up there; however, we were never notified there may be any issue. Thank you for the best wishes. We just want you to know that these issues did not ruin our wedding for us and that we absolutely loved our wedding, everything else that day was amazing. It is just very unfortunate that all our parents remember most is cleaning up at the end of the night and that when people ask us about our day - it was absolutely phenomenal, but then they ask how Rustic Manor 1848's service was on our wedding day and all we remember is you approaching us to address those issues and that we never saw you excited or happy our entire day and the sad part is there was truly nothing we could do about the issues we were addressed about. We really appreciate your response. We wish we both could have been on the same page that day and truly wish you the best in the future. We understand your a newer venue and hope you take our review as constructive criticism so these issues can be addressed for future brides and grooms as to not fall short on communication for their special days. Best wishes!\r Reviewed on 17-09-2015

We were recently married here. The inside of the barn is beautiful, and so is the outdoor setting for a ceremony. Owners and staff were great, and bartender service was awesome as well. I would get married here again, but hopefully that doesn't happen! \r\rWould only make a couple suggestions to the owners... 1) Do not charge for use of the golf cart during an outdoor ceremony as it did bother me personally to be billed for making the entire site handicap accessible 2) Do away with the 2 hr minimum for shuttle service, as lodging is only 2 miles away and a shuttle trip only takes 5 minutes 3) Consider a new insurance provider...candles should not be a big deal in a barn that was built to code that includes a sprinkler system.\r\rAs you can see, the 3 biggest drawbacks are most likely due to me being overly critical, and they are insignificant when weighted with our overall experience. But hey, writing an authentic review requires some degree of determining areas for improvement as well. What would be the point in reading this if I just said \"everything was great.\" Reviewed on 01-07-2015
Kerstin Klein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-05-2015 We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Rustic Manor. Whitney and Eric were very professional and responsive from the very beginning all the way through our wedding day. We booked with them before the barn renovations began and our wedding was scheduled just a few weeks after they were hoping to finish. We took a risk in not being able to see the end result and our family was a little nervous with the idea of \"getting married in a barn\ Reviewed on 23-06-2015

This is a beautiful place for any wedding! The photography shows just how many exquisite backdrops there are available. Room for guests to spread out and explore the property, or hang out in the barn.There is room for outdoor games for the kids. This was one of the few weddings where the kids weren't bored because there was so much for them to do. The location is perfect, easy to find, but once you drive in, it's like you are miles away from the rest of the world. After being at a wedding at this site, I can't imagine being confined to the traditional wedding setting at a hotel. Absolutely stunning. Reviewed on 14-07-2014

Rustic Manor 1848 provides a country/barn/rustic wedding at its finest! A romantic location with plenty of space for all of the guests - adults and kids alike. The ceremony in the lower field was very pretty. The barn provides a unique setting for the reception. It is comfortable and great for pictures and has plenty of room for a dance floor. The outdoor space and walking paths allow guests to break away from the dancing and music to mingle. Easy location to find and a wonderful venue with friendly owners! Reviewed on 11-07-2014
Tiffany Smith(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2013 I attended a wedding at this venue. It had a wonderful rural feel, but is only a few miles from Hwy 94. Everything was very professional and classy. There is a large barn which is very beautiful. The property is full of trails and great for photo ops. I would highly recommend this venue.

Eric & Whitney Shneyder have always had big dreams and bringing Rustic Manor 1848 to life all started with a love story of their own. Following Eric's Christmas proposal, their search for the perfect barn wedding venue turned up empty, leading them to create a venue unlike any other in Wisconsin. Not only is their home full of history and humble beauty, but it stands as a testament to the love, dedication, hard work and unending imagination that it's owners share together. They were the first couple married at Rustic Manor 1848 in June 2014.
