Love the Backyard!

“One of the easiest venues that I have worked with…and I have organized events in the east (NC), west (CA), and south (TX and MS). Very clean. Very good food (several comments on the Alfredo). The views are amazing! Love the backyard!”

Fairytale Wedding

We planned our wedding 3 times with Covid, and Celebrations made everything a breeze. Everyone was so organized. It rained on our wedding day, and Ann and the team made sure we still had our fairytale wedding. Several guests told us it was the best wedding they had been to, and everyone was so impressed with the service, food, venue, staff, and everything down to the decorations. The bridal suite was so fun to use as we got ready. It was truly our dream wedding thanks to the team at Celebrations!

THIS VENUE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY

I cannot say enough great things about Celebrations on the River! My husband and I got married in the Center Court venue and it was the most BEAUTIFUL venue ever. Ann and her staff went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process as well as the day of. They set up and tear down everything which allowed for us to focus on getting married and enjoying every second of the day. THIS VENUE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I have gotten countless compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was, how great everything was handled (food, moving of tables, bartending, etc.), the food, and the staff!! Ann and all the Celebrations staff definitely aided in making it OUR BEST DAY EVER 🙂

This wedding venue has it all!

This wedding venue has it all! We wanted a place that planned, prepped, catered, and was flexible. This place had it all! We got married this last Saturday and every moment was perfect.

They all just wanted us to have the perfect day and the most definitely delivered.

Wonderful Staff. Even Better Venue!

“First, the ambiance of the lit trees–the ceremony with a water-side back drop–the beautiful banquet area and sun room area–and overall flow of the space and aesthetics were perfect for our daughter’s dream wedding. And, thank you Adam for your patience. And then Ann. She is amazing. She anticipated all my requests. She even thought ahead of my requests that I hadn’t even considered and kept our event flowing smoothly."

Over the Moon

Words cannot even describe how amazing this venue and experience is! I am over the moon we chose this beautiful location in La Crosse for our wedding. From working with the staff to the beautiful set up, it was all perfect! I loved being all in one location for our big day. The bridal suite was a huge plus for me and my girls to get ready. The outdoor area was beautiful for our ceremony, and perfect during cocktail hour. The indoor area was beautiful on its own, and once my decoration vision came to life, it was beyond perfect. The staff helped everything go smoothly. I personally worked with Ann during all my planning meetings and during the big day. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough! She was so incredibly helpful and kind. She helped me pull of a wedding that far exceeded my dreams and expectations. If you’re planning a wedding, look no further for your venue; celebrations is the ONE!

No other place could compare

We honestly can't say enough great things about Celebrations!! Once we toured the venue we knew this was the place for us! No other place could compare to the beauty and accommodations! We had to reschedule 3 times due to Covid! Ann, Sarah and staff were very accommodating, helpful, and understanding throughout the entire process. They made the entire planning process a breeze, everything was so organized! They also coordinated the entire wedding day, therefore there was no need to worry about keeping on schedule and we could really just enjoy and take in the entire day! They did all the setup, even the extra décor things we brought in! We chose to do a décor package through Celebrations for our table settings and I absolutely highly recommend this as they have so many options to choose from! The bridal suite is amazing, we had the hairstylists and the makeup artist come right to the venue! We can't wait to see our photos as the scenery at Celebrations is a beauty in itself, no need to leave the venue site! We had so many guests comment on the beauty of the venue and how delicious the food was! Best Day Ever! 09-17-2021- River Park
