10. Mr. G’s Logan Creek Grille
Location: Door County, WI
Capacity: 400
Rating Online: 4.6 stars with 142 Reviews
A quaint and fun place to get married in Door County. Mr. G.’s is a historic supper club that’s been used for countless weddings and events. What makes this place special is undoubtedly the food! Mr. G.’s is well known for high quality food that everyone will enjoy.
It’s a bit more basic in the design and look of the event space so bring your creative mind when viewing. It can be customized to your liking, but it will take a bit more work to pull together. With space to host 400 guests though, this is a place to hold not just a wedding celebration, but a massive party for all your distant family and friends!

8. Woodwalk Gallery
Location: Door County, WI
Capacity: 250
Rating Online: 4.7 Stars with 80 Reviews
This beautiful “artistic barn” is actually a former barn-turned-art-gallery that can be turned into a wedding venue! If that makes sense. It was bought by a couple who was married at this venue back in 2015 and they use it as an art studio for classes and rent out the space for weddings.
This charming rustic barn setting has a beautiful indoor and outdoor space to use how you please. With wooded trails, gardens and a September sunflower maze, this venue can be a real knockout for couples looking for something different and memorable. And with space to fit 250 guests, there’s plenty of space to host a solid wedding and party!

7. Bay Shore Inn
Location: Door County, WI
Capacity: 60
Rating Online: 4.8 Stars with 166 Reviews
The Bay Shore Inn boasts arguably the best views of any venue on our list. The outdoor venue space for the ceremony is directly on the lake and can mesmerize guests with tranquil beauty. The downside to this venue is the limited capacity for guests. Only 60 guests can comfortable be accommodated Bay Shore Inn due to their smaller size as a facility.
If you have a smaller wedding and are looking for a space that truly cannot be topped with the Door County outdoor feels, Bay Shore Inn might still be perfect for you. With built in coordinating and lodging built into the wedding package, it’s nearly a one-stop-shop for all things considered.

6. Donald and Carol Event Pavilion
Location: Door County, WI
Capacity: 120-200
Rating Online: 4.9 Stars with 60 Reviews
This wonderful pavilion (also known as the Kress Pavilion) is a great place for a slightly smaller wedding but lacks nothing in terms of charm and style. Located in the heart of Egg Harbor, the Kress Pavilion boasts 2 floors and a library on the bottom floor which makes for unique Beauty & The Beast type photos for your big day!
The second floor is home to the Great Hall which has spectacular views in near 360-degree views from the floor to ceiling windows and outdoor patios. Although this venue can comfortably hold 120 guests (max is 200), it can be a sizeable gathering space for your family and friends.

4. Garden Gables
Location: Door County, WI
Capacity: 125
Rating Online: 5.0 Stars with 22 Reviews
This small-town outdoor wedding venue brings a lot of charm and elegance to the table for a great Door County venue! Originally just an abandoned barn and house, this space has taken years to revamp and restore by a local Door County couple. In fact, their original intention was just to build a space for their own wedding (which they did have in 2013), but it evolved from there as people began requesting the space for their own barn weddings.
The breathtaking photo opportunities on this property are endless, and with your design ideas this space can truly sparkle both in the day and night. With an outdoor stage to hose a band or DJ, this venue can be a one-of-a-kind experience for all to share.
The only real downsides to this space are the smaller capacity (only 125 guests), and the fact that it’s 4 miles away from the nearest lodging spaces. For most, these aren’t a big deal, but it’s what pushed the Garden Gables down slightly on our list.
