It was very challenging for us to find a wedding reception venue that fully met our cultural needs with outside catering capabilities and guest capacity. We searched all over Milwaukee and the options were quite limited. We decided to reach out to Harley Davidson and started working with Dave Larson (Event coordinator). We couldn't have gotten paired up with a better person. He took time out of his busy days to meet with us multiple times in getting everything right and fine tuning the details. Our wedding reception was more than we imagined. We can't thank Dave enough for all his hard work. We also wanted to thank Rohan who helped put everything together the day of, as well as the rest of the staff. We would recommend Harley Davidson downtown Milwaukee to anyone no matter how large or small the event. Thank you for the fantastic customer service!!!

The whole staff was so easy to work with and all of the meetings went so smooth.
