13. Barn at the Bog

The barn wedding trend is still holding strong in Wisconsin! If this is your aesthetic, definitely add The Barn at the Bog to your list! Located on The Bog golf course in Saukville (45 minutes outside Milwaukee), and being built from the ground up, it has the modern amenities including air conditioning and indoor restrooms, with the rustic feel of Wisconsin. Best of both worlds.
