Friday Wedding Venue in St. Croix Falls, WI

A smarter way to celebrate
Why More Couples Are Choosing a Friday Wedding in Wisconsin
Saturday weddings book up a year — sometimes two — in advance. And they cost the most. Friday weddings give you the same dream venue, the same scenic St. Croix Falls backdrop, the same restored barn glowing with chandeliers… for less.
At Big Rock Creek, a Friday wedding isn't a compromise. It's a smarter way to celebrate. You'll find more dates to choose from. More room in your budget for the photographer, the dress, or the honeymoon you actually want. And because Big Rock Creek sits on 980 acres with on-site lodging, your Friday wedding naturally rolls into a full-weekend celebration with the people you love most.
Friday Pricing
Save the Date and the Budget
Our Friday packages are priced lower than peak Saturday dates. Couples on a tighter budget, or couples who'd rather spend the savings on a great band, an open bar, or a longer honeymoon, can still book a stunning Wisconsin venue without compromise.
An hour from the city
Twin Cities Close. Worlds Away.
Big Rock Creek sits in St. Croix Falls, WI — about 60 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul. An easy drive for your guests, but a world away the moment you cross the St. Croix River.
Twin Cities couples often describe arriving and instantly exhaling. By the time you're walking the trails, it feels like vacation. And for out-of-town family flying into MSP, it's a simple route.

The Friday advantage
What a Friday Wedding Can Actually Save You
Friday weddings in Wisconsin and the broader Twin Cities market typically run noticeably less than Saturday dates — and the savings extend beyond the venue itself. Many vendors (photographers, florists, DJs, planners) offer weekday rates too.
Smart ways couples are spending the savings
- Upgraded photography or a videographer
- A live band instead of a DJ-only setup
- On-site weekend lodging for the immediate family
- A second-night welcome dinner or post-wedding brunch
- The honeymoon you actually want, not the one you can squeeze in
- Better food, better bar, better everything

The Big Rock team was fantastic, from beginning planning to day-of host to the bar staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The barn perfectly blends functionality, elegance and rustic feel. The on-site lodging was fantastic — the cabins were clean and had tons of supplies for our weekend.
