If you're looking for the perfect barn venue, look no further than the Cupola Barn! Our wedding day a couple weeks ago was such a dream, and I can't think of a better place. David and Stacey were absolutely amazing to work with, and helped so much during that day. They have put so much work into upgrading the barn, and it definitely shows. The She Shed was awesome for the getting ready pictures, and my husband loved the Tool shed to hang with his groomsmen. The pee patch is an added bonus as well (for the men). The main thing that sold us was the ceremony space - we fell in love immediately!! I would rate the Cupola Barn a 100 out of 5 if I could, would recommend 1000%

From the moment we booked our venue, we knew we were in amazing hands — but they truly exceeded every expectation! David and Stacey weren’t just professionals but genuinely caring, guiding us through every detail with the kindness and attention of a “wedding mom.” They anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them and made the entire planning process feel effortless and joyful. On our big day, their support and warmth created such a comforting atmosphere, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without worry. We can’t thank them enough for being our rock, our cheerleader, and the heart of our wedding day.

For Your Fairytale Wedding Set in five pastoral acres in Oconomowoc, WI, Cupola Barn is an enchanting property that is available as a rustic wedding venue. The namesake structure was built in the 1840s and offers a charming backdrop for the events of your special day to unfold. The Family Story Stacey and David Vecellio are the owners of Cupola Barn. This creative duo knew that they wanted to open a family business. Between them, the Vecellios have five children, and their eldest daughter dreamed of a barn wedding. When she grew up and prepared for her wedding, the family had to look outside of the Milwaukee area to find a suitably large barn venue. This experience inspired the Vecellios to create their own and make their dream of several years into a reality. They toured barn properties and found a gem in Oconomowoc, a 1840s barn that was mostly used as a dairy farm and a log cabin with one room, built before Wisconsin became a state. At some point after its construction, a taken-down Amish barn was added to create the current size of the building. The Vecellios drew on the support and skills of their loved ones to make this property a spectacular setting for couples to enjoy a country wedding. The Details The Cupola Barn management takes pride in paying attention to detail. They understand the importance of your special day and want to help you make lifetime memories. Additionally, bar service is available to enhance your celebrations.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding day magical.

ridal couple kept things on track. Glad we could take advantage of scheduled open houses as the date got closer. The venue is gorgeous; hopefully recent upgrades will be added to website. Scheduling a late fall wedding can always be iffy for an outdoor celebration, but everything worked, and no rain! The weather prevented barndoors from being open or utilizing the great outdoor spaces, but the interior was magical! (Heaters were added for guest comfort). Perfect for the couple who wants a venue that is special and unique!

nd wedding planning occuring simultaneously, Stacey and Dave were so responsive to our many emails and accomodating visits to the barn with our crazy schedules. They have an excellent fire pit and some very cute rooms to get ready in! We fell in love with the venue the first time we visited, and we did not regret our choice to have our wedding there! Something to note is that they do not provide food/alcohol at this time, so you will need to bring your own vendors in! We loved that we were able to choose our vendors that fit our budget! We would and will be recommending Cupola Barn to anyone and everyone.

ted an outdoor ceremony, and I wanted tall ceilings for in the reception hall. The Cupola Barn was the 2nd or 3rd venue my husband and I toured, we were immediately impressed. It had the "Wow" factor we were seeking, as well as elegance, and we loved the fact that we could choose our own caterer and provide our own bar. Stacey and David were awesome to work with and were very responsive with answers to questions in addition to being helpful with giving input. They were beyond accomodating when we had to move the wedding from May to July due to Covid. Our July 31st wedding turned out to be better than we ever imagined. The barn and grounds were breathtaking, and the weather was PERFECT- better than what we would have had in May so having to switch our date was a blessing in disguise! Getting married during a pandemic had it's challenges, and The Cupola Barn provided ample space for social distancing if our guests chose to do so. Everyone wound up having a spectacular time and raved about how fun our wedding was and how cool the Cupola Barn venue was. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend the Cupola Barn. Thanks again Stacey and David!

The minute we walked into the barn and met Stacey we KNEW that The Cupola was our venue. David and Stacey do an incredible job preparing the venue for weddings, adding the perfect ...

decor amongst the property. They truly care about all of their couples and are more than accommodating. We received SO many compliments on our venue choice and could not imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. I didn't feel like just another couple at The Cupola and was so impressed by the feel of the barn. I highly recommend this breathtaking venue!

so much character of its own that you don’t need many decorations to make it stand out to your guests. It has its own “wow” factor. Every time my now husband and I would go we would find something new to fall in love with. The owners are the sweetest people to work with and were always open to answering all of our questions. Allyson was THE BEST coordinator I could have ever imagined. My day was so much less stressful knowing that she was there. We even had to change the ceremony inside last minute because of the rain and Allyson handled the change very quickly and professionally while making sure I stayed calm. She handled everything so well the day of the wedding and leading up to it. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. It so worth it to budget for the extra cost and have Allyson be your day of coordinator! If you are looking for great people to work with and a perfect wedding venue - this is it!

ests are still telling us what an amazing venue it was. Having spaces outside of the main room where people could take a breather was great. The decks, the seating area down below, the campfire, all amazing. The staff was fantastic and did a great job both leading up to the event and during the evening. Best decision we made for the wedding, and the family that runs it is wonderful and truly care about their couples!

I could not had asked for a better venue for my wedding and reception. The owners are very nice, they walk you through every step of the way and the property is worth every dollar....

My guest can not stop talking about how they had so much to do they never got bored. My dad who lives in California could not believe how beautiful a barn could be. My mind was put at ease because if it were to rain there was a easy back up plan on property. We also had many money saving opportunities. We could bring our own alcohol, and were not restricted to any vendors. Our day ran very smoothly and it really was a fairy tale. I would highly recommend looking into this venue.

l of it, beside two things, but they were not a big deal to me: There is no running water in the venue, so be prepare! it also gets warm in the barn but it cools down eventually towards the evening. It did not bother me, it is just an FYI. The owners keep adding more and more to make the barn and grounds look even more beautiful. I give this, 5 out of 5 stars! I wish I could have my wedding every year there.
