The Eight10

The Eight10 is a wedding reception venue located in Waupaca, WI, offering the perfect space for unforgettable moments. Here, industrial heritage meets modern elegance. Our thoughtfully restored spaces retain their historic charm while offering state-of-the-art amenities for events of any size. With flexible spaces to accommodate any celebration from 40 to 400 people comfortably, each of our four distinct areas provides a perfect canvas for your vision. For over four decades, these walls echoed with the energy of the Zwicker Knitting Mill, where more than 170 women worked diligently at their craft. Their presence helped shape our community’s industrial heritage and economic growth during a pivotal time in our region’s history. Today, The Eight10 stands as a monument to thoughtful preservation and adaptive reuse. The historic structure has been transformed into modern event spaces—from its soaring ceilings built of 27 original windows—while integrating contemporary amenities that make it an exquisite space for modern gatherings. The Eight10 is more than just an event space—it’s a bridge between our community’s rich industrial past and its vibrant present. From hosting local nonprofit meetings to celebrating life’s biggest moments, we’re proud to be a gathering place that honors our heritage while creating new memories for future generations.
