My Favorite Wedding Venues in the Fox Valley
As a photographer who was born and raised in the Fox Valley, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless weddings in this beautiful area. The Fox Valley is a fantastic choice for weddings because of its diverse options, from lakeside settings and scenic countrysides to charming downtown venues. The Fox Valley encompasses Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh, and several other small towns. I’ve even included a couple of venues from Brillion because they are absolutely worth the mention!
