If you’re from the Eau Claire, Wisconsin area, chances are you’ve heard of the Leinie Lodge. Maybe you’ve even considered it in your search for non-traditional wedding venues in Eau Claire!

The Leinie Lodge is right next to the Leinenkugel’s beer brewery, which makes the space a fun and memorable wedding reception venue. Especially so if you’re not the kind of bride or groom who dreams of a fully outdoor WI wedding.

On site there are trails where guests can take a walk during cocktail hour. There are also wooded areas and rocks overlooking a river that are perfect for sunset photos!

Mickie + Robby started the day off by getting ready in separate rooms within the same hotel.

There they exchanged letters and M had the most amazing first look with her dad! Pro Tip: If you’re considering doing a first look with your dad, it’s always worth it.

The most memorable part of M + R’s romantic EC wedding was at the end of the night. All of their guests flooded the dance floor to bust out their best dance moves. Of course, with delicious brews and donuts in hand.

In fact, there may have even even been a performance of “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” at this summer wedding. This was unexpected to say the least, but above all it was hilarious! I mean… how can you not have a good night when there’s Christmas music in August?!
