Harvest Moon Pond Wedding & Event Venue

"I would give 100 stars if I could!! Harvest Moon Pond is the most beautiful venue inside and out. The owners Stephanie and Brian are the most kind and helpful people who truly go above and beyond for their couples. Amazing and fun staff as well. We knew from the moment we saw the venue we wanted to have our wedding here and the day could not have gone more perfect. It was everything we dreamed of and more and our wedding guests were raving about how elegant and special the whole day was. I would recommend everyone to check out Harvest Moon Pond :) "

"I had my wedding here on 5/21/22 and I cannot say enough positive things about Stephanie, Brian, and this beautiful venue! Our day was absolute perfection, and that is largely in part due to Stephanie/Brian's assistance throughout the planning process. Don’t know where to start when planning your wedding? No problem! The HMP crew provides multiple guides, Facebook groups, etc. to ensure that you have all of the resources you need to get started. They have also done some AMAZING renovations (even since we signed with them a year and a half ago!) to the barn/outdoor space that allows couples to choose from a variety of different spots to get married (I am biased towards the magical willow trees!). Everyone I talked to commented on the outdoor space – a beautiful patio for cocktail hour, lawn games to keep the guests entertained, an abundance of picturesque spots for photos…. I could go on and on. 100% would recommend Harvest Moon Pond to anyone looking for a rustic, yet modern venue with an absolutely gorgeous outdoor space. Thank you, Stephanie, Brian and the rest of the HMP crew for a magical day!"

"In a venue, we wanted versatility with extremely high (almost unrealistic) expectations. We wanted it all - a private barn/country setting with history, but new/modern updates without losing the original charm; somewhere between downtown Madison and the Wisconsin Dells; different locations to choose from for the ceremony that felt unique from the reception area, yet still on-site; indoor and outdoor social settings for guests to experience (i.e. bar, patio, fireplace, pond, walking path, etc.); a space large enough to accommodate up to 200 guests, but small enough to feel cozy and inviting; parking; easy access for vendors (i.e. full kitchen and simple transitions throughout the day/night); endless photo backdrop options regardless of weather; but ultimately, a venue that was beautiful all on its own without a single piece of décor. In addition, our "checklist" of "wants or perks" (not needs/must-haves), were also checked off of our long list. We found ALL of this and more in Harvest Moon Pond. Owners, Stephanie and Brian are organized, communicative, honest, natural problem-solvers, and incredible to work with in every aspect. They pour every bit of creative energy they have into improving an already perfect wedding venue and are always proactively seeking feedback. Throughout the wedding planning process, we became so close with Stephanie and Brian that not having them at our wedding day would have felt like a close friend or family member RSVP'd with their regrets. Thankfully their schedule allowed for both of them to be present on our most special day and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way! We are beyond lucky to have found Harvest Moon Pond as a physical location, but also to have found the entire team behind making it what it is today."

"THIS VENUE!! THESE PEOPLE!! Even from my very first conversation, I knew I’d been in good hands with this crew. Stephanie and our day of venue manager, Elena, are so helpful. They really make you feel as if YOU are a priority to them. HMP provides a TON of help and advice to those planning a wedding hosted at their venue. They provide several resources to make sure any and all questions you have are answered, but are always available to answer any questions you may have. The venue is beyond beautiful. Brian and Stephanie have done such an amazing job keeping the barn rustic and cozy while upgrading things to be a bit more modern. The day of our wedding the crew kept the place clean, set up all of the chairs, helped vendors find their way, checked in on myself and my fiance throughout the day, like I said before ABOVE AND BEYOND! I had goosebumps and that giddy feeling the moment I walked under the trees where we were married during our tour and I still had them up until the end of our night. I KNEW it was the place! I am so happy we chose HMP for our wedding. They also host live music events during the warm months, so it was pretty special that we were able to visit our venue prior to our wedding. We can’t wait to go back again next year! Nothing but amazing things to say about this venue!"

"Ohh.. this place, these people, and the day you’ll have if you book here. I can’t say enough about this venue and my experience at HMP. What an absolute dream come true. I hired an event planner for my wedding and HMP was very accommodating in meeting our requests to change things up and really allowed us to make this day solely about us and bring our own vision to life. The compliments on the venue alone have not let up. All of my guests were so amazed by this place. Stephanie and Brian are both so fun to work with and are so kind. Stephanie takes some behind the scene pics during the day and sends them to the bride.. which is just so fun to see as the day really does go by much too fast. Elena was also such a delight to work with. She’s so sweet and jumps in to help in anyway she can. My only “complaint” would be that no one told me I’d feel SO attached to this place, this crew, and the memories they helped me make. I still get quite emotional just thinking about it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Harvest Moon Pond. You will forever be so very special to us." - Love, The Schemels
