The Madison was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we heard the ownership was changing our hearts dropped. But Brad and Louise were extremely clear and available to answer any and all of our questions (even honored all of our odd/weird requests). On the day of the wedding, they went completely above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. The venue itself is open, spacious, and cozy - creating the ideal atmosphere for our celebration. The owners are the most caring and sweet people, and they truly made us feel at home. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at The Madison and would recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and stress-free venue.
