Lilydale Dace Hall and Event Venue

Nate and Jenna got married on a warm July day at Lilydale Dance Hall and Event Venue in Chippewa Falls, which is one of the most beautiful venues in the Chippewa Valley! The outdoor gardens are stunning when in full bloom, and the surrounding landscape is beautiful from sunup to sundown. On this day, with the the temperature in the upper 80's, Nate and Jenna were able to hold their ceremony inside!


Jenna and her bridesmaids got ready in Lilydale's gorgeous bridal suite. That's the amazing part about this venue - every single room is stunning! I mean, look at those bridal portraits! Jenna looked beautiful in her classic gown, and Nate's linen colored suit was the perfect complement. The bridesmaids rounded our their color palette with their light blue dresses and white flowers. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful color palette!


These two are high school sweethearts, staying together through their college years, and now starting their careers! They are the sweetest couple and I could tell how genuine their love for each other was within minutes of being with them. They said private vows together before their ceremony, but opted not to do a first look - instead holding hands from opposite sides of a the door.


The wedding party braved the scorching heat and headed outside for some photos. The land surrounding Lilydale has idyllic fields, rolling hills and horse pastures - the perfect backdrop! We gathered under a tall oak tree for their photos. Later in the evening, I headed back outside with Nate and Jenna and we hit the golden hour light just perfectly! The sun was shining on the horse fence as the mingled with their new (furry) friends, who came up to the fence to greet us. It was so fun to take a break from the business of their day and watch these two genuinely enjoy their time together.
