Vennebu Hill

Vennebu Hill at Myklebust Farms Wedding & Event Venue

Welcome to

Vennebu Hill is a scenic wedding and event venue located just minutes from Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Surrounded by the rolling Baraboo Bluffs, the Norwegian-inspired venue offers a beautiful hilltop setting for weddings, celebrations, meetings, and retreats.

The beautifully restored Gothic barn blends rustic charm with modern amenities, creating a welcoming space for both indoor and outdoor events. Couples and guests enjoy breathtaking countryside views, spacious gathering areas, and a peaceful setting that feels private while still being close to the Wisconsin Dells area.

The name Vennebu comes from a Norwegian phrase meaning “a gathering place for friends and family,” a spirit that continues today as people come together here to celebrate life's meaningful moments.

Vennebu Hill is part of the Myklebust family farm, where three generations have cared for the land and its history. What was once a working cattle barn has been thoughtfully restored into a wedding and event venue designed to bring people together in a truly memorable setting.

Testimonials

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Vennebu Hill and the amazing staff. We worked with Mark, Bethanie, Liz and the wait/bar staff and everyone was INCREDIBLE and made our day completely flawless. We had so many comments about how beautiful our venue was and how kind and friendly the staff was. During dinner, the food was hot, was served quickly, and was absolutely delicious! So many wonderful comments about the dinner from guests as well. We highly recommend Vennebu Hill - we had the most magical, flawless day and wish that for every couple looking for their perfect venue!"
Sydney Stampfli
"Getting married at Vennebu Hill was a wonderful decision! Bethanie was fantastic to work with and she was always quick to respond to my emails and offer advice. The venue itself is gorgeous, and it has everything you could possibly want and more! We loved that they have in-house catering and had several guests compliment the food, which tasted amazing! We also loved the versatility of the venue. We got married in the barn, but we loved that we could choose whether we wanted to be inside or outside. The patio is a great option for guests to use during cocktail hour, and it helped make the transition down to the reception hall go smoothly. Our wedding felt like a fairytale! I highly recommend Vennebu to anyone who is planning a wedding."
Anne Walsh
"Our daughter and son-in-laws wedding at Vennebu Hill was, as they said,  “the best day of their life”.  Bethanie was a pleasure to work with and covered all of the details and more. Considering I was planning things from Michigan I really appreciated her attention to detail and responsiveness.  The day of the wedding was flawless. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, the venue beautifully appointed and the weather was even perfect. Not sure if Vennebu staff made that happen but if they could I am sure they would. A big thank you to all involved!"
Kassandra Hartman
"I cannot say enough positive things about Vennebu Hill. The minute we walked in and did our tour with Mark, we knew we were going to get married there. Their staff, Bethanie especially, was incredible and so easy to work with. The venue is so beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests. We also had to do catering through the venue and the food was SO good. Highly recommend!"
Jess M (JM)
"Fantastic and unique place for a conference! We held our annual conference here and Tamara and Mark worked with us the entire way. We had so many compliments from our attendees and speakers and plenty of room to hold presentations and lunch. Great experience and I would fully recommend. If there was anything I would like to see change it would be the option for connected venue lodging."
McKenna Prestigiacomo
"WOW!! What a day!! Thank you and to all the staff that made this day such an amazing day!! Everything was perfect! Please shout out to all the staff that made this happen. From the setup in the start of day, the wait staff, bartenders, and cleanup crew. Everyone was awesome. A special thanks to you for making this day go without a hitch. We have received so many wonderful comments saying this is the best venue they have been to. I really can't stop crying on how awesome it was.

Our Venue

What sets Vennebu Hill's facility apart from other venues of its kind? It showcases Wisconsin's beautiful and natural landscape to both locals and travelers. While the design and flow were inspired for wedding celebrations, the venue is fully-equipped to host meetings and conferences. With excellent audio-visual capabilities from in-house sound, spot lighting, large screens for presentations, and multiple small-room meeting spaces, Vennebu Hill is a grand place to host a holiday party or a company retreat, as well as, midsize conferences, meetings, in-house markets, and tradeshows.

Convenient, Yet Secluded Location

The beautifully rustic and elegant venue resides on a sprawling 60 acre farm with views of over 170 acres. Set high upon a hill with a view far beyond that, the venue overlooks the Baraboo Bluffs and Wisconsin River. The facility has a Baraboo address, but is located closer to Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells.

Vennebu Hill is an excellent option for couples, families, groups, and/or organizations from the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison markets (to name a few) looking for a destination wedding option or an alternative meeting and retreat facility that inspires creativity!
