Old Rittenhouse Inn

The beauty of the Apostle Islands makes Bayfield, WI a popular destination for Wisconsin weddings. Located near downtown, the historic Old Rittenhouse Inn, and its Le Chateau property are ideal wedding venues. Both offer Lake Superior views, manicured grounds with flower gardens, and a variety of options for ceremonies and receptions. For many, the convenience of a single venue for their event is appealing. Le Chateau, a turn-of-the-century Victorian mansion beside Lake Superior, offers a relaxing wrap-around porch and extensive grounds to accommodate ceremonies and receptions both inside and outdoors. Some prefer the intimacy of Le Chateau’s verandah, offering a combination of elegance and comfort for parties up to 40 guests. The Fountain Garden Pergola is the most popular venue. Adjacent to a bubbling fountain, this arbor-like structure is covered with grape vines and surrounded by flower gardens. Additionally, a garden path leads to the Lakeview Lawn where a tent canopy can be set. Whichever location you choose, a wedding at Old Rittenhouse Inn will be unforgettable.
