Monarch Valley Weddings and Events

Barn and garden venue in the Blair, WI countryside.

Inventory

The goal of our inventory is to save you money and energy by avoiding rentals. All weddings and events at Monarch Valley can use these items at no additional cost. Whenever possible, we handcraft inventory items with wood harvested from the farm, or we restore antique farm items left over from the early 1900s.
