About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Lilac Acres is a brand new countryside event venue located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, also serving the Milwaukee area. When getting married in 2015, owners Adam and Sara wanted a space that could house all of their wedding-related events, from saying their vows to dancing their first dance. They were unable to find such a venue for their big day, so when they had the opportunity to create Lilac Acres, they wanted to give other couples the chance to experience making all of their wedding memories in one convenient, scenic location.

Facilities and Capacity

For wedding ceremonies, the Lilac Acres offers a tranquil ceremony space, which is a renovated barn featuring a white-washed interior, rustic brick backsplash, and custom-made pews and chairs. The venue also has a reception barn that is fully climate controlled and includes a food prep room, loading dock, patio, and fully licensed bar. The barn can accommodate 150 guests and features a pond, providing a picture-perfect setting for your photos. In addition, the venue offers a 1,300-square-foot event house with vaulted ceilings, a great room, open-concept kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms, dressing room, and various other amenities to help you and your wedding party prepare the day of your event.

Amazing Venue

We first toured this venue back in 2019 when it was still being built, we fell in-love with the vision of what it would be. We decided to book almost immediately for a 2020 wedding. Well, with the pandemic and all we decided to re-schedule for August 2022. Adam was very helpful and understanding of this. Fast forward to our actual wedding and this venue lived up to the initial vision we were pitched and then some! Our photographers were very excited when they walked the property and were able to have a million ideas for picture perfect memories to be shot. The catering team had plenty of space to work with, and were able to leave the leftovers for us in the huge fridge in the kitchen area of the reception barn. The bar/bartenders were awesome and our specialty drinks were perfect (and highly reviewed by guests). One of the nicest parts of the day was after we were all partied out and everyone had left, we were able to take a short walk over to the house and sit on the swing on the porch and reminisce about our beautiful wedding day.

Beautiful Venue!!

This venue was absolutely perfect!! The entire setting was so gorgeous!! There was so much natural beauty, that it was not necessary to heavily decorate. Everywhere you looked, the entire venue was beautiful! Their venue features a GORGEOUS barn-like main reception hall, a patio area that is attached to enjoy both indoor and outdoor beauty, a ceremony barn, and the unique feature of an on-site house that you can use for getting ready, but also to spend the night after your ceremony. No hotel room necessary!! The fact that the barn venue was air-conditioned was a huge selling point for us, knowing we were having a July wedding. All spaces are absolutely perfect and we could not recommend them enough!!

Amazing Venue

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our wedding. Truly a gorgeous place with emphasis on comfort for those wanting a welcoming environment. Adam was always a huge help and very validating during such a stressful time. Cannot imagine celebrating anywhere else! Highly recommended :)
