If you stumbled upon this blog and thought it would help you narrow down which season to get married in at Edenwood Ranch, then we have some bad news. Both fall and winter are beautiful times to get married on the ranch, and each is special in its own way.

We know that choosing a wedding date is one of the most important parts of the planning process. If you don’t have a date, you can’t plan anything else! So, the season you choose truly helps set the tone and vibe for the entire celebration.

Both fall and winter are both special seasons at Edenwood Ranch. Fall comes with colorful leaves that look like you’re stepping into a painting, and winter turns the landscape into a quiet, cozy retreat that you’ll never want to leave. We also offer a private setting with accommodations right on the property. Our charming and rustic lodges offer a relaxing atmosphere for your celebration! We have five separate cabins that include 32 beds on site to turn your wedding into a weekend event. So, which season fits your wedding vision? Here are a few things to think about before making your final decision.

 

Choose Fall If You Love Color and the Outdoors

Fall weddings are pretty popular in general, but especially in Wisconsin. At Edenwood Ranch, the leaves create a backdrop that already feels decorated without having to try.

A Wisconsin fall wedding venue like Edenwood Ranch is high on the list for couples who picture themselves spending most of their wedding weekend outside. With hundreds of private acres surrounding you, you’ll have plenty of space to really bring your vision to life. Fall may be right for you if your Pinterest Board wedding includes:

• Natural colors (tans, reds, oranges, greens, etc)
• Cooler weather
• Warm, rustic décor
• Seasonal flowers and greenery
• Scenic places for your wedding-party and couple photos

Because the landscape does so much of the decorating for you, fall really works if you want an elegant but natural look.

 

Choose Winter If Cozy Is Your Wedding Style

Now picture the same ranch surrounded by winter scenery. Think fireplaces, warm drinks, candlelight, and gathering inside with your favorite people.

If you’ve been trying to find the right Wisconsin winter wedding venue, Edenwood is the place for you. The ranch offers a warm, private setting where your celebration and accommodations can all be part of the same experience. Winter may be your season if you love:

• A cozy and intimate atmosphere
• Evergreen greenery, candles, and warm lighting
• Rich colors (blues, deep reds, dark greens, etc)
• The possibility of snowy wedding photos- need we say more?

 

Seasonal Guest Experiences

Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful days of your life, but at Edenwood, the experience can go beyond the ceremony and reception. We specialize in intimate weddings, typically ranging from 20 to 100 guests, giving you the chance to celebrate with the people who matter most to you in a private ranch setting.

Our charming and rustic lodges offer a relaxing atmosphere after a day of adventure! We have five separate cabins that include 32 beds on site to turn your wedding into a weekend event. Your friends and family can spend more time together instead of having everyone arrive for a few hours and head home once the reception ends.

 

Wisconsin Weather Likes to Keep Things Interesting

When choosing to tie the knot in Wisconsin, remember that weather is always part of the planning experience. Fall can come with warm sunshine one weekend and chilly temperatures the next. Winter can range from a light dusting of snow to a full Northwoods winter day.

That’s one advantage of choosing a venue like Edenwood Ranch that offers more than a beautiful outdoor ceremony location. Having accommodations and gathering spaces on the property gives you more flexibility to create a celebration that feels comfortable regardless of what the forecast decides to do.
