Why a Northern Wisconsin Destination Wedding Is Exactly What Everyone Needs

In a world that moves fast and demands more every day, your wedding should be the moment you get to slow down, breathe deeply, and celebrate love in its purest form. That’s exactly what a Northern Wisconsin destination wedding offers—and more.

At Celebrations at the Gables, nestled in the scenic countryside of Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, couples and guests trade traffic for trees, noise for songbirds, and stress for stillness. Our venue blends rustic beauty with elegant charm, giving you a backdrop that feels both grounded and magical. It’s the kind of place where you can dance under the stars, laugh with family by the fire, and wake up to fresh air and peace.

One of the best parts? A full weekend wedding experience at the Gables is just $6,000 (not including our optional on-site Farmhouse stay). That’s for the entire weekend—offering time to relax, connect, and truly enjoy the celebration. Compared to other venues in the region, it’s a remarkable value. You’ll have exclusive access to a spacious venue with ample parking, surrounded by open fields on a quiet dead-end road. And while it feels like a hidden retreat, you're just 15 minutes from hotels, dining, entertainment, and the main highway—plus all the charm and adventure that Polk and Barron Counties have to offer.

To make your weekend even more seamless, Thyme at the Gables, our in-house catering company, offers a full menu that’s as flexible as it is delicious. From elegant hors d'oeuvres and beautifully prepared entrees to late-night snacks, bar service, and even rehearsal dinner options, we’ve got you covered. Whether you want to keep things casual and cozy or go full farmhouse chic, we’ll help design a food and beverage experience that fits your vision.

Every wedding at the Gables is more than just an event—it’s a weekend to remember, shared with the people you love in a setting that feels authentic, peaceful, and welcoming. With thoughtful details, generous hospitality, and space to truly be, it’s no wonder so many couples choose to start their forever right here in the heart of Northern Wisconsin.
