Our mission is make your special day as memorable and carefree as possible, with a unique space that reflects your tastes, preferences, and love story as the perfect backdrop.
From magnificent ballrooms to a historic mansion, each of our on-site venues present an ambiance all of its own. Exposed brick, original stained glass windows, and vaulted ceilings, to name a few, are several unmatched qualities that make Cappella Weddings & Events a feature in the local scene.
Whether you're celebrating a wedding (ceremony, reception, rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner), or hosting a corporate event, birthday, presentation, fundraiser, or beyond, our team is passionate about working closely with clients to create unforgettable experiences tailored to unique styles and visions. We pride ourselves on exceptional service and helping create lasting memories.
With three glamorous on-site venues to choose from, each boasts its own unique historic past, originating in 1886.
Venue 1: Stella Ballroom is our newest venue, featuring balcony seating, vaulted ceilings, open beams, and skylights, with room to seat up to 320 guests.
Venue 2: Cappella Ballroom is a magnificent space, with 40' cathedral ceilings and original stained glass windows, with room to seat up to 400 guests.
Venue 3: Uptown Loft is a sophisticated space situated on the second story. Glimmering with 21 crystal chandeliers, a timeless and elegant Art Deco inspired interior design, and captivating views of La Crosse, there is room to seat up to 175 guests.
If you choose to celebrate your wedding with us, you will have access to our beautiful and private wedding suites, where both sides of your wedding party and loved ones will have room to relax and prepare for the festivities.

Look no further for the perfect space for overnight guests, room to prepare, take photos, to lodge family or yourselves leading up to the event, or unwind after your big day. The mansion is also idyllic for intimate weddings of up to 50 guests. With room to sleep 12, couples are welcome to enjoy their wedding and a unique overnight stay all at once.
Last but not least, we offer fantastic catering and drink packages that can be customized to fit any taste buds. Whether a three-course plated meal or a buffet-style meal is your style, our talented gourmet chefs can make it happen.
