Rush River

Celebrate Your Love in
Breathtaking scenery
Imagine exchanging vows with the love of your life on the bank of one of North America’s most renowned trout streams, right in SW Wisconsin, the Rush River. Our location is uniquely spectacular and unrivaled by any other outdoor venue. Your backdrop is the panoramic view of the Rush River valley and the soothing sounds of the rushing rapids. The culmination of the day’s glorious event and the most beautiful setting has to offer creates an experience never to be forgotten. It is common for guests to enjoy the frequent sighting of Bald Eagles, Brown Trout, Deer, song birds (Cardinals, Oriels, Grossbeaks, Gold & Purple Finches. Buntings, Warblers and more), as well as other wild visitors.
