Venue Spotlight: Pedretti’s Party Barn

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing John Pedretti of Pedretti’s Party Barn. It’s one of the fabulous rural barn venues we have available for events in south-central Wisconsin.  I love barn weddings!  Pedretti's Party Barn is located in a working farm!

The Pedrettis, originally from the area, converted the original barn to a lovely event venue.  The barn was built in the 1920’s on a ridge overlooking beautiful rural valleys.  They also maintain a picturesque vineyard that’s available for walking and is a gorgeous setting for photographs.  Their six mules are a fun diversion for guests-especially the kiddos!

They mostly host weddings, but they have experience with a myriad of celebrations including birthday parties, prom and a Farm Breeding Association luncheon with representatives from 27 nations!

The barn itself has laminated floors (better for dancing than a rustic barn floor!), original wagon wheel chandeliers and a 30’ by 60’ outdoor deck with a fabulous view!  Inside the barn, they’ve included a DJ balcony overlooking the dance floor.

They keep a clearing mowed for outdoor weddings with a 6 ft path.

Because they only host one function per weekend, they’re very generous with the set-up and take-down time.  They allow guests to start decorating Wednesday and they have through Monday to complete clean-up!

I can’t wait to work at this gorgeous unique venue
