My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at Eagle Park! We ended up renting out the entire space for our 300 person wedding. We had a sweetheart table up at the front of the eating space and were able to look out at our guests on the main floor and then up at those sitting on the balcony. We brought in a DJ and live band to dance the night away! The staff was amazing - we had a few meetings leading up to the day and they handled all of the set up and table decorations. Our wedding was in late June, so we were able to utilize their patio space, as well. Food was amazing - everyone was raving on the mashed potatoes and beef!

I recently attended a wedding at Dresden Castle for a close friend, and having been looped into much of the planning, I can confidently say the venue and its team exceeded expectations. The space itself is breathtaking—historic architecture, stained glass, and vaulted ceilings that give the entire event a sense of timeless elegance. It’s rare to find a venue that feels both grand and intimate, but Dresden Castle strikes that balance beautifully. The garden area was especially memorable for photos and quiet moments between the ceremony and reception. From what I observed and heard throughout the planning process, Jason and Alex were outstanding partners. They were responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Their flexibility with vendors, clear communication, and calm presence during setup made a huge difference. They anticipated needs before they became issues and handled last-minute adjustments with grace. The amenities were modern and well-maintained—sound system, WiFi, private rooms for the wedding party, and a layout that flowed naturally from ceremony to celebration. The staff were professional and courteous, and the bartenders kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. As a guest, I was impressed. As someone who saw the behind-the-scenes effort, I was even more so. Dresden Castle is a gem for couples who want a venue that’s visually stunning, logistically sound, and run by people who truly care.

We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our day. Everyone at Nippersink was beyond kind and helpful on the day of and for the entire year leading up to the wedding. Jaclyn was a dream to work with. She answered all of my many questions and was so flexible and accommodating. She always responded very promptly and went above and beyond in answering any questions or requests. Paul, the owner, and his wife were equally helpful and kind. I loved how personable their entire family was. My now husband and I kept saying throughout the whole wedding planning process how lucky we were to find Nippersink. Some examples of how they went above and beyond: buying my favorite flavored water and Malibu to use as a signature drink, allowing us to add on an appetizer a week before the wedding, sending us pictures of all of the available decor to use (they have so many great options available!), giving us the nicest gift day of, being flexible in the rehearsal dinner timing, and allowing us to have our ceremony at the venue with only 4 months notice when our church fell through. Besides their family being the sweetest, they have created such a wonderful space! The new wooden tables and chairs are gorgeous, the hotel was just redone, the grounds are beautiful and the food was delicious. We have gotten SO many compliments from guests about how much they loved the venue and were told from a guest it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We truthfully could not have had a better experience and we are so thankful to everyone at Nippersink on the Lake for that! Five stars just isn’t enough!

From our first conversation with Mei-Lyn, the owner and venue coordinator, we knew The Factory on Barclay was the right choice for our wedding. She stayed on top of every detail leading up to the big day and made sure we felt supported throughout the whole process. The venue itself is stunning—the space is clean and bright with natural lighting that made our photos look incredible, and the layout worked perfectly for our ceremony and reception without needing to break down tables. What really impressed us was how seamless everything ran on our wedding day. Mei-Lyn didn't just coordinate from the sidelines; she was actively involved, even jumping behind the bar to serve drinks and keep things flowing smoothly. We had a lot of out of town guests as well and the history of the building, it being the original cheesehead factory, was such a nice/cool fact that made it extremely unique and fun! The Factory on Barclay gave us a unique venue with exceptional service, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

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!!! We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our special day with the people that mean the most to us.

They helped make our day what it was, were very quick to answer emails and any questions we had, and are a big reason why we will always look back on our wedding here as one of the best days of our lives.

We got married at the Hilton in April 2026. EVERYONE SHOULD GET MARRIED HERE. I was BLOWN AWAY by the package prices and the elegance that was provided for the price?! Unbeatable in the Milwaukee area. The food was well portioned, served like art and delicious. The glassware for the drinks and dinner was beautiful. People left full! The ballroom and additional spaces underwent a renovation this year and when I say it was GORGEOUS, it's an understatement. Our guests said over and over that they had never been to a more elegant and beautiful wedding. And this was our CHEAP option. The way they open the ballroom doors after cocktail hour? People gasped. The wedding coordinator was excellent, you do not need a planner if you use this venue!!! She's that good!!! Plus the benefits of being at the hotel, you may be able to access your spaces early, and leave your decor locked up over night. The ease of access was a huge plus for us and made everything very stress free! The getting ready spaces can be open as early as you need which was another HUGE benefit for us. It was a magical dreamy experience. Do it. Have your fairytale wedding here!!!

Embassy Suites by Hilton is such a wonderful space to hold a wedding! My husband and our families first met with their event staff in March 2025 for a wedding just five months later on August 30th, 2025! I credit the wonderful and knowledgeable event staff, Karina Oliva (Wedding Coordinator at Embassy Suites in Brookfield, WI) especially for this turn around! The planning process was a breeze with her constant advice, patience and expertise. Karina guided us through the timeline, helping us add personal touches and always reminding us that everything was alright and we were exactly where we should be in terms of planning! She was completely patient in my constant questions and slight delays in decision making. Karina and some of her event staff are bilingual as well, which helped in planning as my husband and his family are from Ecuador—as well as some of our guests who only spoke Spanish! Since Embassy suites allows pets we were also permitted to have our dog be our ring barrier which was a dream of ours since the beginning! I got so many compliments from my guests at how wonderful my wedding was and a huge part is to do with the Embassy Suites staff. They were around and ready during the celebration to assure everything moved as smooth as possible! The food was delicious (especially the appetizer we served which were the potstickers). Both me, my husband and my mother are so incredibly pleased at our experience with embassy suites! Thank you so much to the staff for making the night perfect! Special shout out to Karina Oliva who did such a wonderful job I cannot thank her enough!

Astoria Banquets and Events Venue was an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with for our wedding. All through the planning process, their communication was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and detailed. The venue itself is truly glamorous and elegant, yet versatile enough to suit any couple's style. The bartenders, wait staff, and coordinators provided incredible service, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our special day. In fact, Max at Astoria was better than any wedding planner we could have hired. For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday. We got married at Astoria on a Sunday in February, and the price per person was a steal, especially since the venue included everything we needed aside from a DJ and photographer. Overall, Astoria Banquets and Events Venue provided us with the most beautiful wedding, all while keeping us well under budget. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and beautiful venue!!

From start to finish, our experience with Canvas was a dream. We first met the team of Canvas in January of 2022 for our wedding in September 2023. Bergen swept us off our feet and won our hearts after our first phone call with her. After seeing the venue for the first time, we were completely blown away. There is no other reception space like it. During the event itself, everything flowed smoothly and was handled with ease. Truly could not say a single bad thing about them! Thank you Canvas for making our wedding dreams come true! 3

I loved my wedding, it was everything I could've wanted out of the venue. I had My ceremony (outside) & reception (inside) and it was such a wonderful time! I did the family-style menu and all the food was delicious. The reception area in the all seasons room was beautiful with the light globe. The bartenders and servers were very attentive and polite. All of our guests loved the food, the chocolate fountain, and of course the late-night bowling!! The communication with the venue was my main pain point as I was appointed multiple sales managers as it seemed like they were going through a management change. I thought it was odd that I talked with the sales manager for all of my communication regarding the wedding up until the day of I was assigned an event manager who I met 1 hour before my ceremony. The sales manager was still on property the day of but I thought it was weird I didn't receive any information that I would be working with someone else the day of. I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a beautiful and fun place to get married!!

Forever Young is a newly built, family owned venue located in the heart of the Kettle Moraine Forest just outside of Palmyra, Wisconsin. We have restored the cream city brick space into a timeless and beautiful venue with countryside charm and elegant flair. Less than one hour away from both Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin. Originally this property was home to Young Engineering Co. established in 1918 and was a manufacturing and printing press facility until it was closed in the early 80’s. The building remained vacant until the property was purchased from the Young Foundation in 2018. While reconstructing the space, we preserved much of the original beauty and history that was, while adding the modern amenities and touches to bring your vision to life. We feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity to carry on the history of this property, and the spirit of being forever young.

Meridian Banquets came through for us in a pinch when our original venue canceled six months out from our May wedding. Bob and Tina were absolute gems to work with, they helped us maintain the vision we had, while also providing even more special touches we didn't even think about. The space is absolutely GORGEOUS! Everyone who attended our wedding swears we spent a fortune, but that's the thing, our space, 2 entree meal, wedding cake (included with our package), open bar and sweet table was very affordable! I am referring everyone I know to Meridian, and will use them again for any future events.
