Weddings

We have Saturday and Sunday packages available with varying prices depending on Peak Season (May-October) and Non-Peak Season (November-April). View our rental rates

Entire facility wedding packages consist of 14 hours total which includes 11am-11pm on the main day (Saturday or Sunday) with 2 hours of cleanup time the following day from 8am-10am (Sunday or Monday). We also offer hourly rates for the entire facility within 6 months of the event date.

You may request to hold a date on a case by case basis. Please reach out to the Facility Rental Coordinator about a specific date. A deposit is not required to hold a date. You will be given a certain amount of time to get back to us once your date is held. If you decide to move forward with a reservation date, you may choose to pay in-full OR pay a 50% non-refundable deposit. The final 50% is due 60 days prior to your event. If you choose to pay in-full right away, 50% of that is non-refundable.

Yes, we do not have any restrictions on vendors or caterers. You may work with whomever you wish. A vendor list must be disclosed during the check-in, 1 month prior to your event date.

You may hang signs or banners in the specific room you have reserved. If the Entire Facility is reserved, you will have access to all of the rooms. Additional signage outside in the park or on the street will need approval from the City of La Crosse Parks and Recreation Department. We do not permit tape, tacks, nails, command strips or any other adhesive that could damage the walls.

You may not store belongings nor have your vendors drop off items outside of your reserved timeframe.

Yes, a contract must be signed to finalize your reservation. Payment + contract completion are due within 7 days of receiving them from our Administration Department.  

Hard liquor is not permitted at The Nature Place. Beer, wine and champagne are permitted ONLY when you have the Entire Facility reserved. It must be a private (invite only) event and there cannot be any exchange of money onsite for alcohol (must be open bar), which includes a tip jar. Alcohol must remain inside the facility, on the outside patio, or in the 5 acres of outdoor space included with an entire facility reservation.

Yes, there can be up to 3 single room reservations happening at one time. The public may also access the lobby/Atrium space during our open business hours. Our wedding packages include access to the Entire Facility so in that case, there would not be any other events in the building at the same time.

No, smoking is not permitted inside the building. The designated smoking area is outside on the patio. Please be sure to use the cigarette disposal receptacle.

We have provided floor plans to choose from that are guaranteed to work in our space for indoor ceremonies and reception dinners. You may also submit your own floor plan if you wish (not guaranteed).
