We've been hosting dream weddings at 1966 Velp Avenue for years, and we've learned what Green Bay couples really want. It's not just a beautiful space, though our wooden cathedral arches and Duck Creek views certainly don't hurt. Couples tell us that the most important thing is to find a location where they feel heard, supported, and assured that their special day will go exactly as they have planned.
Green Bay couples choose Olde 41 for its two unique venue options, scenic Duck Creek views, and full-service approach that simplifies wedding planning. With on-site catering, entertainment, rentals, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, it offers a seamless experience where couples can celebrate in a beautiful, well-coordinated setting.
Why Green Bay Couples Keep Choosing Olde 41
Every couple deserves more than just a beautiful space. They need a team that truly understands their vision and works alongside them to make it happen. That's exactly what we provide at our premier banquet facility.
Green Bay Couples Love Having Two Venue Choices
We offer couples a choice between two exceptional spaces, each with its own character and advantages.
Olde 41 Main Venue: Our main venue spans 8,300 square feet and features those distinctive wooden cathedral arches that create such a warm, intimate atmosphere. The hardwood floors work perfectly for both dining and dancing, while our outdoor patio gives you and your guests stunning views of Duck Creek. We include:
- Tables, chairs, and linens in white, black, or ivory
- A riser stage for your head table
- Barn lights that create the perfect ambiance
The Duck Blind: A more intimate setting at 4,000 square feet. This log-sided building features a wrap-around porch overlooking Duck Creek, an antique fireplace, and rustic décor that tells a story. The black granite bar adds an elegant touch, and we can comfortably seat up to 180 guests here. It's ideal for couples who want that cozy, lodge-like feel for their celebration.
Why Green Bay Couples Choose Our All-in-One Approach
Planning becomes so much simpler when everything you need is right here. We work with contracted caterers who provide both buffet and plated dinner options, served by professional staff who understand the flow of a wedding day. Our partnership with Extreme Entertainment means you'll have:
- Two formally attired DJs providing seven hours of music
- Coverage from cocktail hour through dancing
- Complete lighting effects and personalized music planning
You won't need to coordinate with multiple rental companies either. We provide the full range of event rental items, including specialty touches like our Wooden Jack Daniels Card Box, snack stations, and outdoor games. Everything is coordinated through our team, so you have fewer vendors to manage and more time to focus on each other.
Outdoor Ceremony Site with Duck Creek Views
Your ceremony deserves the same attention as your reception. Our landscaped outdoor ceremony site accommodates up to 150 guests and features a custom wood arch that frames you perfectly against the backdrop of Duck Creek and our flower gardens. We handle all the setup, takedown, and cleanup, so your wedding party can focus on the moment instead of logistics.
For couples who prefer an indoor ceremony, we offer privacy rooms and the same level of service and attention to detail.
What's Included with Your Olde 41 Wedding
When you book with us, you're getting more than just a space rental. Every wedding package includes our full-service staff, those late-night pizzas that your guests will love, large screen TVs for your slideshow, and access to our elevator so all your guests can move comfortably throughout the venue.
Conclusion
Every couple's vision is unique, and we'd love to hear about yours. We're here to answer your questions, show you both venue spaces, and help you understand exactly how we can bring your wedding day to life. Ready to see Olde 41 for yourself? Contact us and schedule a tour.
