Unique to Wisconsin Wedding Packages: Get Married in the Spring on the Great Wedding Train!

If you are looking for something truly unique for your spring wedding in Wisconsin, there’s no better way to do it than the Great Wedding Train! This train is not only unique to Wisconsin, there is nothing like it in the entire country! It is here that you will find the truest replica of a chapel car and the wedding coordinator that is provided is an invaluable help! Even with the same location, there are many unique ways to get married on the train with the five different packages that they offer!

1.) Stationery Package

This package is for those that don’t like to travel. The chapel car, called Everlasting, is parked beside Spooner Depot, a beautiful historical site. If you’re planning on getting married on a Friday or Saturday, the car needs to be reserved at any time before noon but the car is available any day of the year. Although this is the least expensive way to get married on the Great Wedding Train, there are many items included:

• One hour in the chapel car
• A bridal bouquet comprised of silk flowers
• A silk boutonniere for the groom
• Unity candle
• Basic photos of your ceremony, placed on CD for your convenience
• Customized tickets that display your name and the date of the wedding
• Wedding programs that are customized for your ceremony
• Music (played from a CD) for your ceremony
• A wedding consultant to help you plan the ceremony
• Seating for up to 85 guests

2.) Basic Wedding Ceremony

This package allows you to have your ceremony on the train while it is moving at a slow pace through Wisconsin woods, which are especially beautiful during the spring! There are two different options available with this package. You can choose to travel for 2 ½ hours on a round-trip to Springbook, or you can choose a 1 ½ hour ceremony that will take you to the Namekagon River. Not only do you have full use of the Everlasting Chapel, but the Arrowhead car is also available so you can enjoy your reception while you enjoy the trip! Also included in this package:

• Seating for up to 20 guests
• Bouquet for the bride and boutonniere for the groom
• Unity candle
• Picture CD
• Customized tickets that display your name and the date of the wedding
• Music (played from a CD) for your ceremony
• A wedding consultant to help you plan the ceremony
• Refreshments including coffee, lemonade, and a sheet wedding cake

3.) Wedding Ceremony Plus Package

This package includes again the use of the Everlasting chapel car as well as the Arrowhead car but also includes an hors d’oeuvres package. This package allows for up to twenty guests and features all of the inclusions as the basic wedding ceremony package but with the Conductors Hors D’oeuvres package as well.

4.) Wedding Lunch Train

This experience on the Great Wedding Train includes all of the standard inclusions listed in the Basic Wedding Ceremony, but also includes lunch. The day will begin with the guests (which can include up to forty) being seated in the Everlasting chapel car. After the ceremony, everyone will be escorted into the Arrowhead reception car to feast on a wonderful lunch. You can choose from the fine selections of: Chicken Cordon Bleu, Roast Beef, Baked Ham, Lemon Breast of Chicken, or Honey Glazed Pork Chops. All lunch choices include a dinner salad, rolls, and two beverages of the guest’s choice. After lunch, sheet wedding cake will be served as you and your guests make your way back to Spooner from Springbook.

5.) Wedding Dinner Train

Choosing the Wedding Dinner Train package is just slightly different than that of the Wedding Lunch Train package. The choices of menu remain the same but rice or potato and vegetables are added. And instead of the trip to Springbrook, the train takes you on a slightly longer journey to Bean Creek. Sheet wedding cake will also be served for the guests but the bride and groom receive their own special cake to enjoy together. Immediately after the ceremony, there is also a champagne toast and the crystal glasses are to be kept by the bride and groom! And as another keepsake, the bride and groom are also given the silver cake servers!

Although the train is available every day of the year, there are certain dates and times for some of the excursions the train takes. And if none of the above packages suit your needs, you can also custom-make your own package for a truly unique way to celebrate your spring Wisconsin wedding!
