Welcome to River Bluff Weddings & Events, where your love story comes to life.
Celebrate Your Love in Breathtaking Scenery
Imagine exchanging vows with the love of your life on the bank of one of North America’s premier trout streams right in SW Wisconsin, the Rush River. Our location is uniquely spectacular and unrivaled by any other outdoor wedding or event venue. Unlike farmland/corn fields and barns, your backdrop is the soothing sounds of the river’s rushing rapids backed up by a breathtaking view straight down the Rush River valley. The culmination of the day’s glorious event and the most beautiful setting nature has to offer creates an experience never to be forgotten. A riverfront wedding has proven to be a dream come true for couples who want to celebrate their love in a serene and picturesque setting, and is the perfect way to start your happily ever after. Nature meets romance is an understatement!
It is very common for wedding parties and guests to enjoy the frequent sighting of Bald Eagles, Brown Trout, Deer, beautiful song birds (Cardinals, Oriels, Grossbeaks, Gold & Purple Finches. Buntings, Warblers and more), as well as other wild visitors.

From Our Happy Couples
The Thelen wedding property is located just 45 minutes East, southeast, from the Twin Cities, but feels like hundreds of miles from anywhere. The 1600 feet of river frontage on the Rush offers stunning views of Bluff country and multiple spots to stage the wedding ceremony. There is ample room for multiple tents, in multiple sites, to host your gathering and serve food in a sheltered environment. Walking trails throughout the heavily wooded property and adjacent to the river provide guests with opportunity to stretch their legs in a truly scenic environment. Bald Eagle, deer, turkey and other wildlife make this property their year round home.
The ‘cabin’ is set up for both Bride and Groom to prepare and dress for the ceremony with all of the creature comforts of any city residence.
My wife and I couldn’t have been more happy with the setting and outcome of our wedding day.
Thank you, Chris and Jeralyn, for making our wedding day one we will never forget.
