Each wedding at the Rittenhouse Inn is special and unique. We work closely with couples to help bring their dream wedding to life. Therefore, all pricing is specific to individual events and the special needs and/or staffing required. Contact our Wedding and Events Coordinator to discuss what you envision for your special day. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, or an affair reminiscent of a fairy tale, the beauty of Bayfield and Lake Superior offer numerous locations for your wedding. The Old Rittenhouse Inn and our historic properties are ideal venues, offering indoor and outdoor options for your special day. Le Chateau Boutin Whether you are planning an event for 2 or 125 guests, this Victorian mansion overlooking Lake Superior is a premier location for your wedding ceremony and reception. The magnificent home, wrap-around porch, and surrounding lawn and gardens offer a host of possibilities. Among the most popular ceremony sites is our fountain garden, where couples exchange vows beneath the pergola with its canopy of grape vines. The panoramic view of the lake, harbor, and Madeline Island are breath-taking. In the event of rain, the interior of the home is nearly as spectacular. (Indoor ceremonies can accommodate groups up to 50 people.) Enjoy a celebratory toast with those you love on the veranda, where you are surrounded by flowers and spectacular views. Additionally, the Chateau’s manicured lawn and gardens are ideal for your reception under a tent canopy. The Rittenhouse will cater to your needs from appetizer receptions and banquets to fine dining under the stars. You’ll feel right at home as you enjoy the private use of this historic Bayfield landmark. For couples who envision a winter wedding beside a crackling fire, this home offers a number of possibilities. (Please inquire about our off-season wedding incentives.) PLAY VIDEO Rittenhouse Inn The combination of elegant surroundings and a full service gourmet restaurant make this home ideal for intimate wedding celebrations.

Following your union, sit down to enjoy a gourmet dining experience you will always remember. The Rittenhouse Inn’s elegant dining rooms can accommodate groups up to 60 people.
