About Us
Ron and Heidi Keys
Hi there! We’re Ron and Heidi, the proud owners of The Barn at Mirror Lake. We’ve been married for 16 wonderful years, and while we never imagined we'd one day own a wedding venue, here we are, living out a dream. Between us, we have six amazing kids, ranging in age from 14 to 35—our family is truly a "his, hers, and ours" story. We also share our home with several lovable, furry, four-legged friends who add a little extra joy to our lives.
Ron wears many hats—when he’s not teaching at the University of Eau Claire or Chippewa Valley Technical College, he’s working hard to keep everything on the farm running smoothly and even helping out in the kitchen (he’s not afraid to do the dishes!). Heidi is your go-to for all things wedding-related. From your first inquiry to the big day itself, she’ll guide you through the process, answer your questions, and handle the day-of coordination, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch.
Our goal is simple: to provide you with a 5-star, stress-free experience, all while staying within your budget. We know how important your big day is, and we’re here to make sure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of—and more.
We can’t wait to welcome you to The Barn at Mirror Lake and help make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
Our History
Welcome to The Barn at Mirror Lake
Since opening our doors in 2018, The Barn at Mirror Lake has proudly hosted countless memorable events, from breathtaking weddings to unforgettable celebrations. Our mission is to continue being the premier event venue in the region, providing an enchanting setting for your special day.
Nestled on 45 acres of stunning countryside, our venue is where rustic charm meets timeless elegance. As a working hobby farm, the presence of cows and chickens adds a unique touch, often delighting guests and making for an entertaining experience.
We offer seamless convenience with hotels and Airbnbs located just two miles away, so your guests won't need to navigate winding roads after a long celebration. The accessibility of our location, combined with the tranquility of our surroundings, creates the perfect blend of getaway and ease.
Not only does our venue boast expansive fields, but we also feature 1,200 feet of scenic lakefront. Two picturesque creeks border the property, and our private bridge makes for an idyllic photo backdrop. Though we are within city limits, you’ll feel as though you’ve escaped to a serene countryside retreat—just far enough to provide a true destination experience, yet close enough to enjoy it all in a single day.
