They helped create the best day of our lives. We are so appreciative of the entire staff, especially Ann and Kayla who made our lives so much easier! They really know what they're doing when it comes to planning. Would recommend them time and time again for anyone looking to get married in the La Crosse area! Food was fantastic, décor was beautiful, and all last minute changes were always taken care of. Can't recommend them enough!

We can't say thank you enough for the awesome staff at Celebrations! They were so easy to work with during all the planning for our big day. Our day so was perfect, I don't know how it could have gone any better!!! The venue itself is absolutely amazing!!!!!! I can honestly say the Friday and day of the wedding were stress free because of all the wonderful staff there to help make the day perfect for us. The rehearsal dinner was delicious along with our wedding dinner!!! A huge should out and Thank You Ann Myhre for working with us so easily and being flexible!!! She is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

We cannot rave enough about Celebrations! Our wedding turned out to be amazing and we recieved so many compliments from our guests about this beautiful venue. My husband and I were married in October in River Park which is situated with views of the river and gorgeous outdoor seating strung up with lights. The bridal suite was very elegant and spacious. The food was so good, some of our guests asked us to share the leftovers! Quick bartending service and extremely attentive wedding coordination staff. Kayla and Ann helped us every step of the way and were determined to make sure our wedding was exactly how we wanted it to be! And IT WAS! They were always willing to help and provided us with detailed and knowlegdable service. They really took the stress out of wedding planning.

We held our wedding at the River Park Hall at Celebrations, and oh my god, it blew us away! Starting from the very beginning when we first toured the hall, we knew right away that this was where we wanted to get married. Not only because it is breathtakingly beautiful both inside and outside, but because the staff was so personable and so accommodating. We wanted to keep our day super casual with minimal stress and they hit it out of the park! Every picky detail I requested was met, the decorations were beautiful, the pizza we had (made there) was delicious, and the dance floor and outdoor areas were busy with guests the whole night! The staff were all super nice and were there to answer any questions or requests that we had during our day and throughout the night. I literally cannot say enough positives things about our experience start to end with Celebrations!! Ann, Kayla, Tanya, and the rest of the team that made this day come together - I do not know how to properly say thank you!... Read more You took the stress out of wedding planning for me, and I will forever be so grateful to you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I will be recommending Celebrations on the River to every single new couple looking to get married in the future!

From start to finish, all I can say is WOW. My husband and I began looking for a venue in the La Crosse area back in August of 2018 and fell in love with the River Park venue, it was the perfect size, colorful changeable lights, and a separate buffet room that aided in the flow of our guests getting their food. The bridal suite was elegant and quite handy for getting ready and storing our items. Behind the three seasons room the trees are wrapped with lighting that adds an element of enchantment. What sealed the deal on us choosing this fantastic location was Ann, Director of Events. Her enthusiasm personality, and passion for making dream weddings come through truly showed from our first meeting. She was caring and listening to our needs to make our vision a reality. She had good suggestions from her past experiences that helped make our reception go smoothly. Celebrations on the River helps with set up and take down, which I cannot tell you how thankful I am for that, I have been i... Read moren weddings were we need to do set up and take down and it is a scramble to get it done before the wedding and is highly stressful. Not with Celebrations, they had everything set long before we arrived and was stunning, my bridesmaids noted it was breath-taking walking in. We only needed to add our own décor that gave it our personal touch. We did their dream décor package and was so glad. They had several options for décor which help us save on time, money, and storage space on trying to find our own. Ann, Rebecca, and other staff members were amazing throughout the reception, they were attentive and responsive to our guests and the wedding party. They gave us a sense of relieve and ease as they were on top of every detail. If there were issues or hiccups in our schedule, I would never have been able to tell. We had planned to do our grand march from the main entrance to the dance floor and we noticed prior to the reception, that the tables were going to be too close for my wedding dress to fit down. Ann noticed this as well and let us know that they would move the table to ensure there would be plenty of room. When we returned after the ceremony, there was more than enough room for us to walk down while still ensuring our guests comfortable seating. Throughout the whole night, my husband and I were told by our guests what a beautiful venue Celebrations is and how this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and I give credit for these compliments to the Celebrations venue and wonderful staff. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience and highly recommend Celebrations on the River for your wedding venue.

My husband (ahhh I am saying my husband) and I got married at Celebrations on the River about 2 weeks ago, and our wedding was everything and more I could have hoped for. The venue was absolutely stunning and our guests are still talking about it. The bridal suite was the perfect place for us girls to get ready and relax before I said my I dos! But the day was made because of the amazing staff that were there to help from day one. Ann, Kayla and Rebekka were absolutely amazing. They made every little detail perfect and did everything possible to give us the day of our dreams. Even my mom (mother of the bride) couldn't have been happier about our venue choice and the team that we surrounded ourselves with. Having our wedding at Celebrations was honestly they best choice we made! A wonderful way and place to start our lives together!

I highly recommend Celebrations on the River for anyone considering it for an event. Our daughter and son-in-law held their wedding reception there this past Saturday in the River Park space (banquet hall and 3 season room). The day of the event was wonderful. It went way beyond my expectations. Our guests raved about what a great place it was for the reception. It was beautifully decorated, clean and had lots of spaces for guests to enjoy during the evening including the 3 season room and the beautifully lit areas on the terrace and around the fire pit. (It was a little dark in the 3 season room, it might be nice to add some lamps or other lighting.) The women of the bridal party enjoyed the luxury of the bridal suite. It made the day just a little more special to have that space. We had lots of room for dancing which was good as the dance floor was full most of the night. On the day of the event, Rebekka, our event planner during the reception, was a rock star! She and ... Read morethe rest of the staff were friendly, attentive and very responsive. They exceeded my expectations in setting up and monitoring our s’more bar and apple nacho station to ensure it was well stocked all night. They were prompt at picking up at tables. Some guest might say too quick at cleaning up, as they wanted to go back to the banquet hall for seconds, but plates and silverware had already been picked up. Guests did enjoy the late night pizza which was very good. Speaking of food, the guests gushed about the melt in your mouth ham, the delicious garlic mashed potatoes and the tasty couscous. Yum! I appreciated that Celebrations had décor package options. It was great that we could have them do the majority of the decorating and we could focus on some areas that we wanted to personalize with our own decor. Also, having the security of a card slot and an option to lock up gifts overnight was really nice. Last, but not least I want to recognize Ann, Director of Events. She is the best! She is knowledgeable, fun and responsive. She helped us navigate through the process and had great suggestions. She was able to paint a picture of what the day might look like and she delivered on that plan. She answered all of my questions and there were many. She was quick to reply to emails and always got back to us when she said she would. She was also on site the day of the event to make sure things went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We just had our wedding at the new center court venue this past Saturday, wedding and reception. Everything about it was absolutely beautiful!! It was everything we had hoped for. The entire celebrations staff was wonderful to work with. Ann was always available to answer questions and assist during the planning period . Day of, there were several staff consistently peaking in and asking if we needed anything and what they could do to help. Side note, the bridal suite was AMAZING!! It was beyond amazing to have a large indoor and outdoor space, with a full kitchen, bar, kitchen table AND 3 salon stations. We arrived in the morning and everyone and everything came to us. When we needed a plan B for our ceremony music the celebrations staff swooped in to help before I could even think to panic. The food was amazing. Having a large family with lots of kids we had family raving about all the things for the kids to do. Most of our family stayed the entire time, adults and kids. We receiv...

We loved working with Celebrations. It was a great day and went just as planned thanks to their awesome service. Would highly recommend this venue.

Our day was absolutely amazing at Celebrations!! From the beautiful venue to the amazing service and staff. The event coordinators at Celebrations we’re extremely helpful throughout all of the planning and made sure our day went smoothly and just as we had wished! Our guests where blowen away by how beautiful the venue was, we received compliments all day! I would recommend this venue to anyone! :)

My husband and I recently got married at Celebrations on the River in Lacrosse, WI. We have so many amazing things to say about this place, I don't even know where to begin... From the first day that we toured this venue, we knew that it was perfect for our wedding size and family vibe! We started meeting with Ann around our 3 month mark before the wedding. Ann is a ROCKSTAR! She answered all of our questions, and helped us to make our dream wedding vision REAL! She was extremely quick at responding, and always was willing to ease our mind when we had our moments of wedding planning stress. The day of our wedding was unbelievable! Everything was BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we imagined. Ann was there for our entire day and was making sure everything went well behind the scenes so that we didn't have to worry about a thing!! The food was incredible and we got so so so many compliments on our choice of venue! We had guests hanging around inside and outside all afternoon as it was beautiful...

Celebrations on the River is a beautiful venue in La Crosse, WI. We held our wedding for about 100 people on Saturday, 9/26 in the River Park venue. Rehearsal the night before and the wedding day were perfect. Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how great the venue was. Kayla and Ann (and the rest of the staff) made sure that things day of were perfect, and as the couple getting married, we did not have to worry about a thing. One of the benefits of Celebrations is all the spaces that you get with your rental; our guest utilized the outdoor fire pit, patio, and 3-seasons room throughout the night. Décor: River Park (and the included spaces) are beautiful and did not need much decoration, but we went with the Dream décor package and I encourage everyone that books there to do the same; they have many great center piece and décor options available. It made planning for the wedding day so much less stressful not having to worry about arts and crafts and transporting c... Read moreenter pieces and decorations on the wedding day. Food: After the test testing event, I was nervous about the food for the day of our wedding. There were only a few entrée and side options that we enjoyed during the tasting event. But day of, the food was phenomenal. Our guests could not stop raving about it. We went with beef tips and smothered grilled chicken alfredo with baby red mashed potatoes and honey & brown sugar glazed carrots. Staff served food in the buffet line and it went super quickly. Bridal Suite/Groom Room: The bridal suite is gorgeous. There is plenty of space for the bridal party to get ready and relax in throughout the day. There are lockers with codes provided for folks to lock up throughout the day, and the suite itself locks to keep belongings safe throughout the day. The Groom room exists… it is located through the catering room/kitchen which was a bit odd. The room is small and nothing special, but had a tv and poker table and gave the guys a space to get ready in. Bar: Overall, I think that the alcohol prices at Celebrations are a bit high in comparison to other venues that we looked at in the area. Because of COVID, our guest count was much less than we were expecting, so we decided to do the open bar. It was a fantastic decision and our guests enjoyed it. We did the standard option for 5 hours (5pm-10pm); I think that our guests got our monies worth. Planning: I read all the reviews that existed for Celebrations before we booked with them. Everyone spoke so highly of Ann and Kayla and the support that they provided throughout the planning process, but that was not the experience we had. Maybe I had too high of expectations after reading reviews, or maybe it was because we were an out-of-state couple during COVID which made in-person planning meetings impossible. There didn’t seem to be much communication between Kayla and Ann, we would reach out via email to one with changes or updates to our plan, and then when we met with the other, those updates weren’t shared. It would have been helpful to have one direct contact throughout the process, instead of needing to work with both. It felt very much like we were our own wedding planning/coordinators. We had to reach out to schedule our planning meetings at 90 days, 30 days, and 10 days out; there really was no follow up on their end for planning. We would leave our planning meetings feeling more stressed out about the wedding than when we entered them. We were nervous about how things would turn out day of because the stress of planning with Ann and Kayla, but it all worked out. Overall, Celebrations on the River is a great venue. Our wedding day was perfect and the River Park venue is beautiful, but the planning process with Kayla and Ann was stressful and could use some improvements.

The venue was absolutely beautiful. The outside and inside were very clean, and all precautions were taken due to Covid. We felt very comfortable and safe still having the wedding. Although we did not have the original count we wanted, the day turned out to be perfect.

We had our son's wedding here in September 2019. We were very happy with the venue and everything it had to offer. They thought of everything to make the wedding special. The food was very good and I received a lot of compliments on the food from our guests. The lady that worked with the bride and groom on arrangements was very helpful and was there the whole day and night!! The rest of the staff and bartenders were also very polite and professional. The whole staff was amazing. We were very happy with our experience and the wedding was beautiful.
