About

Sugarland is a wedding ceremony and reception venue in Arena, Wisconsin, that offers couples the option to reserve the entire property for their wedding weekend. This unique garden estate is over 150 years old and is a state-approved facility, meeting all of Wisconsin’s construction and public safety requirements. The main house is a fully-restored 1850s colonial revival farmhouse, decorated with antiques, that’s perfect for any couple looking to add a bit of history to their big day.

Facilities and Capacity

Sugarland can accommodate up to 300 guests throughout their two event spaces — one indoor and one uncovered outdoor. The Wedding Oak Tree is over 150 years old and stands at the center of the estate. The branches of this tree provide ample shade for your guests while they watch you exchange vows beneath a majestic canopy. The 400-square foot Barn is Sugarland’s indoor location with an open-air feel. Perfect for couples who want a rustic style wedding, the Barn has grand sliding doors, a breathtaking view of the Wisconsin countryside, a custom bar made from barn floor planks, and custom wrought iron chandeliers with dimmers to make your wedding even more romantic. It also has some modern amenities, like a licensed commercial kitchen and air-conditioned bathrooms.

The farm house and the cottage on Sugarland’s property can accommodate up to 18 guests comfortably, creating a perfect space for the couple and their wedding party to stay and get ready.

Services Offered

Sugarland can provide couples with space for bridal showers, ceremonies, engagement parties, and receptions. Chairs and linens are available for use during your event, and the staff at Sugarland is happy to provide you with services that include accommodations, cake, event planning, and event rentals. Sugarland’s wedding coordinator, Nancy, and her team are there to help you every step of the way — from day one ‘til the minute you say “I do.” Set-up, take down, and clean-up are available, as well, so you won’t need to overstress about whether or not the decorations will look nice or who will handle them once the reception’s over.

    Everything you could ask for in one place!

    We used Sugarland for our wedding reception summer of 2021 (the weather was stormy but cleared up and cooled the temp down so it was perfect temperature even though it was August). The venue is gorgeous and the food was very tasty! It was so convenient for the wedding party to be able to stay in the houses across the street. I highly recommend choosing this for your wedding! Nancy and her staff were wonderful to work with and incredibly they were able to make all the food garlic-free for me (I'm allergic)! She also was able to procure many specific beers and liquors for us!

    A comment things going in that I wish I would have known earlier: 1) when you meet with Nancy, be sure that all the details that you discuss is on the quote. There was a minor snafu but she was able to work it out in the moment and I (the bride) didn't know there was an issue to begin with! In hindsight, I should have mentioned that the detail was missing from the quote but I had assumed that she remembered even though she has so many weddings to deal with. 2) They do allow fireworks which was awesome! Be sure that Nancy has added to the contract that they will set them off for you. Day of, the person she said would do it, didn't want to so we had to scramble to find someone to light them off. Thankfully her bar staff came to the rescue!

    Overall this place was wonderful in every way possible! A little more organizing/planning better and the event would have been 100% perfect!

    PS the sound in the barn is tricky - the people off to the sides of the barn and outside couldn't hear announcements well. You may want to give your DJ a heads up.

    Gorgeous Venue

    I can't stress enough how absolutely beautiful this venue was, the grounds are well-maintained, the barn was perfect and had character (not rustic-chic like some barns), the house/cottage matched the theme and were clean. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn venue that does it all. We got so many compliments on the venue, it was breathtaking. Nancy was wonderful to work with, super accommodating and understanding of any issues that popped up. They offer to move the ceremony into the barn too in case of inclement weather. The only small catch is that Old Feed Mill is the exclusive caterer of this venue; the food was amazing though and I would recommend them as well for catering, I just thought it'd be worth mentioning for couples who are looking to bring in a caterer/food. Nancy takes care of everything you need and is just the sweetest. I just can't get over how picturesque this venue is. Our wedding party & some guests stayed in the house and cottage and many made the comment that they'd love to just rent those for a week/weekend to get away and enjoy the serenity and views. Note - cost estimate provided with this review is for the grounds/facilities only, not the catering which is more.

    Incredible venue, exactly what I had always dreamt of. Effortless elegance are the only words I can use to possibly convey how amazing our wedding was here! Nothing extra is needed to beautify the space, it's gorgeous all on it's own. Nancy was amazing to work with and so incredibly accommodating. A beautiful, rustic venue that lends itself to whatever theme you have in mind.
