Boxed and Burlap

ere my daughter and son-in-law chose to have the wedding ceremony, but it could be used for yard games if the weather was warm. The barn itself is beautiful with heat and two large glass doors at each end. As the MOB I really appreciated having an option for an indoor ceremony if the weather got bad. It is such a beautiful interior space that the wedding would have been beautiful indoors too. The barn is big and I worried it might feel big with a reception of about 120 people, but it was inviting and beautiful. Two unique spaces which we really appreciated were the Batten house and the coffee shop. The bridal party used the Batten house from 10 am on the day of the wedding which comes equipped with a fridge, sink and 2piece bathroom. It was very bright with natural light and spacious, with ample electric outlets for hair and makeup to be done. The coffee house is a beautiful space. It became exclusively available to our wedding event at 6pm on the day of the wedding with free beverages. They had a barista who served non-alcoholic coffee drinks+tea, cider, cocoa. It has a very nice handicap accessible bathroom. I really loved this space and so did our guests. We set up the cake in there and people came over and enjoyed a hot beverage with the cake. Our daughter chose to have draping done inside the barn to frame the dance floor. Boxed and Burlap's event manager, Matty, was very accommodating and helpful executing this design. The draping was gorgeous, done by Heidi at Modbloom.net. We also rented chairs as an upgrade from Collins Custom Creations which was very reasonable and looked great. Our caterer was BelAir Cantina who did a spectacular job. Since my daughter lives out of state, it was a little intimidating as the MOB to facilitate the decisions she wanted for her wedding, but Matty always got back to me with answers to my continuous questions. He also helped us find vendors who fit our needs, like the draping. Matty was with our event the whole day of the wedding which was a comfort. He was attentive, considerate and very helpful, giving us any information we needed to know to make the day great. Our daughter and son-in-law LOVED their wedding. Thank you Matty for helping to make it a success start to finish! Thank you Cathy and John for all your behind the scenes help!

was prompt. Really a blank slate for you to design your dream wedding! Cons: the bar package is a bit goofy, bridal suite didn’t have products restocked in the bathroom prior to our event, people were in our venue during the day of for a rehearsal which we thought was strange and would have appreciated notice about.

ce is that every single area is stunning, even the backup plan. We were married in front of the big sliding glass doors, and something about the moody Friday the 13th rain as a backdrop was so stunning. The communication with all of the staff leading up to the event was incredible. Matty really kept us in the loop in checked in with us leading up to the big day. If you are even slightly considering this space as your venue, just book it. You will not. be disappointed. Our Friday wedding allowed us to set up Thursday night which really helped to alleviate stressors going into the wedding day. Also having coffee at our disposal really helped those jitters too! *Pro tip: We stayed at the Belfry house next door to the space after the wedding and it was a stunning luxury experience that helped to top off the entire day.

ed. Fast forward and we toured the venue in the summer of 2021, booked in the fall for a summer 2023 wedding. The space itself is so unique. It's a barn, but not a rustic red barn, so it's very visually appealing and has the classic black and white look. The batton house was perfect for getting ready in and so convenient for our bridal party because they only had to go to one location throughout the day. We had our ceremony on the lawn space, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the barn. We got lucky with a beautiful day in July so many of our guests enjoyed sitting on the patio with their drinks throughout the reception if they weren't interested in dancing. I can't say enough good things about the space, and we even got lucky that right before our wedding season B&B added new bathrooms, a prep kitchen, and painted the ceiling bright white. The windows at the edge of the barn were the perfect backdrop to our head table during dinner and kept the whole reception venue feeling light and bright throughout the night. It was easy to close the barn doors when dancing started to darken things up (: Along with the physical space came Matty and Cathy, Matty handled everything with the venue other than alcohol and Cathy handled alcohol. Both of them were professional, knowledgable and prompt with responses. Any questions we had were quickly answered and Matty even jumped on a quick call with us a few times to talk through things. They scheduled a call prior to our wedding and went through every detail we could've wanted and answered all of our questions. Cathy was kind enough to look into wine pricing for several different bottles for our FIL who had very specific wants for additional wine choices at the wedding. Boxed & Burlap will be a space that we go back to year after year to enjoy coffee and relive our perfect day- and we can't thank Matty and the team enough! They are a well oiled machine and were a dream to work with. I couldn't think of a complaint if I tried! If you're considering B&B as your wedding venue, look no further!

we needed, from the very start of reaching out to the venue and getting a tour, to any last minute questions we had throughout the planning process, to the set up the day prior. EVERY employee was amazing and we truly can't thank you enough for that. The venue itself is beautiful and we had received so many compliments throughout the day and night just about the venue itself. Having our ceremony inside I was a little nervous about the flipping of the venue, but yet again your staff really showed up and made for a stress free day for myself and my Husband. Also having the Batten house for the girls in the morning and for the wedding party throughout the day was so amazing, it was great to have a space for us to gather when we wanted to be away from the guests prior to our grand entrance and just to hang out and store our stuff in. We just wanted to thank you for everything, we highly recommend this venue and your staff to anyone planning their wedding, 5 stars for sure!

m getting ready in the stunning Batten House, to having coffee available for our wedding party and guests, it was all simply perfect! It was fun to see people enjoying their coffee on the patio while getting ready for the wedding initially I was nervous about the coffee shop remaining open but it was sweet to be congratulated by all enjoying their coffees and no one came into the Batten House/disturbed any of the wedding setup. We got married inside and the staff flipped the room from ceremony to reception so quickly and beautifully. Our guests got to enjoy the patio with fire pits and the barn it was great! There was something for everyone to enjoy and places to hang out. We truly could not have picked a better venue. - the Kuhls

d large and spacious. We had about 170 people attend our wedding and there was room to spare. The grounds are very well kept. We had our ceremony outside and the space was perfect. The restrooms were very clean and had more than enough capacity for everyone. The Battenhouse was a great space to get ready in and have an area to get away from guests. The coffee house on the grounds was also a really nice perk, especially because our guests got free coffee! I highly recommend this venue to anyone interested.

ommend this venue for your wedding!

t rave reviews. The venue helped with set up/break down of tables/chairs and clean up and everyone was incredibly friendly. The coffee is also amazing!!

industry in general. He was very personable, knowledgeable and the tour sealed the deal for me. The entire venue is beautiful. Not only do you have a beautiful reception area, but your guests get access to the coffee house (and coffee!!) during your wedding. And the coffee is insanely good. Matty and Cathy were very responsive and answered all of my questions leading up to the big day (and I had a lot!). When we arrived, tables and chairs were already set up and that removed a lot of stress from our morning. The venue coordinators were also amazing. They checked in frequently and helped make the day easier. The bartenders were also very personable and I enjoyed getting to talk with them through out the night. The venue coordinators helped us clean up at the end of the night. Overall, I was very impressed and they went above and beyond for our day. The entire venue and day were beautiful and the staff was incredible. If you book your wedding or event with Boxed and Burlap, you will not be disappointed!!

huge help in making our wedding day as stress free as possible. The day of contact, Kieyana, was there to help us with set up and was there early on the day of the wedding. She helped us usher in all of our guests during certain periods of the night and made sure we never were empty handed :) Great Job!

es throughout the day... BUT the back-up tried her best! Nevertheless, this venue was incredible. And not to mention the free coffee during weddings! That was a HUGE hit with our guests. P.S. ALL staff were wonderful to work with. Matty and his crew are very accommodating and truly want to make your dream wedding come true.

the venue as well.

them!

us wedding at this venue and so many people mentioned how beautiful, unique, and fun it was. There were some flies in the barn the day before our wedding- after mentioning it to Matty and his team, by the next day, there was not a fly in sight. I couldn't have asked for a better and more accommodating experience with Boxed and Burlap and would 10/10 recommend them to anyone!!!

rganized which made the process stress free. On the day of the wedding Matty and the rest of the Boxed and Burlap team was so helpful and provide the best service to us and our guests. Our wedding day was nothing but perfect. We would highly recommend Boxed and Burlap to any couple!

e day of our wedding. I would highly recommend Boxed and Burlap to couples seeking a venue for their wedding.

vision to life. Everything that is included within their rental package made it a no-brainer for me and my now-husband. Planning our wedding on our own, Matty made it painless, taking all of our questions and offering suggestions to make sure our dream could come to life. It was truly the best day of our lives yet.

checked in throughout the wedding day to make sure we were happy. Knowing that Matty had everything under control on our wedding day put us at ease - his attention to detail was awesome and we were just able to enjoy every moment of our wedding. This venue has a lot of elements that will make your wedding unique - if you're considering getting married in the Lake Geneva/Delavan area, you MUST book at Boxed & Burlap!

e only aspect of the day that disappointed us was the barn & bathrooms were extremely cold - our guests were in their jackets the entire time. Our caterer also lost power on the back wall which also resulted in our meal being cold too. Bar prices are extremely high as well! Would recommend for your big day if you’re willing to pay a bit more to upgrade your space with rentals.

so just imagine on a wedding day. It is owned by John and Lindsay Neighbors who built it essentially from the ground up and brought their vision to life, special shout out to all of the landscaping coming from trees from their own tree farm. We got this place during COVID when all the weddings were shut down, so John and Lindsay were like hell we have time let’s throw in some pergolas, spruce up the bathrooms, make general upgrades for fun. So by the time we got married it was even cooler than our first visit. On the day, EVERY drink from the coffee shop was free to everyone associated with the wedding. This was my favorite part, and something I haven’t experienced at any other venue we’ve ever attended a wedding at. The venue director Matty was a FRICKEN ROCKSTAR and was genuinely the first person in wedding planning to get me to relax. He was there every step of the way to help organize and understand everything related to the wedding, even regarding vendor things, and then was there as the day of coordinator (included in the venue price) to make sure the day went perfectly (along with two other security staff to do any job we needed done). Everyone we encountered with our venue made us so confident and happy with our decision, and we love that we can go back and relive our day there on any day at the coffee shop.

ve asked for a better team to help us pull off our perfect day! Not to mention, the venue itself is absolutely GORGEOUS! Highly recommend Boxed & Burlap for future couples looking to get married in the Lake Geneva area!

so kindly and bought us all coffee from the adorable coffee shop. He then proceed to sit down with us and actually get to know us all before touring the venue. This was such a personal and genuine gesture that really showed how much the entire B+B staff cared about their guests and clients. In the months leading up to the wedding, Matty and Cathy were so responsive and accommodating to all of my emails, questions, and concerns. I was so grateful to have their assistance with rentals, the bar, and setup! The day of the wedding, Matty was so attentive to my groom and I, checking in often to see if we needed anything. He even checked in with our parents to see if they needed any drinks during dinner which went a long way with both sides of the family. I am from a huge family and have already had so many people tell me that they want their wedding at Boxed and Burlap. With the fantastic service, incredible location, kind owners, and of course...delicious coffee...I cannot wait to go back and celebrate more weddings soon! Thank you, Boxed and Burlap for helping us throw our dream wedding! We are so grateful!
