Willowfalls of Johnsonville (formerly Laack's Ballroom)

Spouse

We couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful setting for our wedding. The venue’s expansive lawn along the river, framed by mature willow trees, created a truly magical atmosphere. We held our ceremony near the small falls, and the gentle sound of the water, the breeze through the trees, and soft music — all surrounded by our friends and family — made the moment unforgettable. Susan, her daughters, and the entire staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish. They helped us plan and host an amazing event and were attentive to every detail. The buffet they prepared was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and options that suited every palate. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. The hall itself is stunning — a large, classic space with tall ceilings and chandeliers that give it an elegant feel. There’s a spacious barroom and a large, comfortable terrace overlooking gorgeous landscaping and flowers, which then opens to the sweeping lawn down to the river. The venue also includes a charming café, a historic tavern, and additional rooms that gave guests space to roam and relax. The dedicated prep area for the bride was a thoughtful touch and made the day feel calm and organized. This venue blends natural beauty, historic charm, and warm hospitality. We highly recommend it to any couple looking for a scenic and memorable wedding location. It truly felt like a hidden gem and the perfect place to celebrate.
