This was the most impressive venue for the money. Looking back at all that was included you would’ve thought our budget was triple what we spent. I loved how customizable the day was, we were able to omit things that weren’t important and add more of what we loved and wanted to highlight (like drinks). I truly felt this was a “boujee” wedding and very High class which I didn’t even think was possible with our budget. We had so many compliments on how elegant but also rustic our venue style was. Being able to utilize the space the night before for the grooms dinner was also a huge plus! We loved everything about tattersall and I would recommend this to anyone!

We could not have asked for a better wedding! The Gardens Wedding Center, from start to finish, went above and beyond for us in every possible way. The staff was so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process; every question we had was answered quickly and thoughtfully, which made planning so much less stressful. On our wedding day, they took care of every detail so we were truly able to relax and enjoy every moment. The food was absolutely amazing, and even went out of their way to make my husband’s favorite dish per our request, even though it wasn’t on the menu. They always made sure our requests came first, which made us feel so valued and cared for. We are so grateful to The Gardens for making our day so special, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares.

We recently had our wedding at 10 South on Friday, November 1st, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From our initial tour to the day of the wedding and every meeting in between, the team at 10 South, especially Lindsay (Venue Manager) and Audrey (Event Manager), went above and beyond to make our day seamless. They took the stress out of planning with their coordinator packages, in-house DJ, and trusted list of preferred caterers, allowing us to fully enjoy the process. Their recommendations for furniture and decor rentals were spot on, making it easy to create the perfect atmosphere. I genuinely can’t recommend 10 South enough—if I could plan ten more weddings, I would host them all here!

If there was a 6th star available, we would give it! Everything about twelve29 was AMAZING! Chris, Sara and their staff were absolutely top notch! The venue is not your typical flashy wedding venue. It's a great location in Lannon, WI. Having a uniqueness inside as well as outside. The separate rooms where you can play bags (corn hole) or just hanging around with family and friends during your cocktail hour or before the wedding starts. There is no other venue that we looked at that has an old bank vault in it! When we were looking at venues for our wedding, we walked in and immediately fell in love with it! Chris & Sara have done an amazing job making sure that all our questions and concerns were answered and they were very attentive on the day of our wedding. Chris was onsite helping to set up the buffet line, making sure that all our needs were met and even making sure that we had something to drink! He even asked my husband if he'd be interested in loaning out our archway! LOL.... Having a separate room from my husband for myself & my attendants to get ready in was a blessing! Chris & Sara really thought of everything that you could need as a Bride or Groom. The calendar does fill up quickly, so do not hesitate to book this hidden jewel in Lannon, WI. You will not regret it!

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!

This place was so good to us through the planning process. We booked about 2 years ahead of our date as the world was coming off all the covid craziness. I had seen them on social media prior to getting engaged and we booked after it being the only venue we toured. It is the perfect back drop to any theme or color palette. Let me tell you, they have it all! I worked closest with Kelsey and then Hanni and they were wonderful. Always available by email every step of the way through planning and sent reminders of when we needed to get together for detail meetings. I loved that I was able to do ceremony, reception, food/beverage, tables/chairs, linens, photobooth and even decor with them. It was so nice to have less outside vendors to coordinate. They throw an amazing tasting party where you get to sample a good portion of the menu items including drinks and meet other couples. The tier packages they have updated make it even easier to get an 'all inclusive' experience. (I also booked my bridal shower at Circa on Seventh and got some freebies for already having my wedding booked with them) Everyone I have run into since our wedding has RAVED about the food that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We did custom cocktails that they special ordered ingredients for. As far as logistics, I was able to drop all my decor off the week of the wedding and did not have to pick up til the Monday after which was a HUGE RELIEF. The bridal suites are absolutely gorgeous and photograph well. There is not a spot for the guys to get ready but the staff had plenty of suggestions and partnerships with other close-by establishments. Also, my wedding was mid July and my dress was quite heavy so it did get hot on the dance floor even with AC. All in all, I would absolutely do it all over again.

Laura and the Tundra Lodge staff were absolutely amazing! Laura was so easy to work with and always had a smile. Her communication was above and beyond. There were no surprises and everything went so smoothly. They were extremely accommodating and made us feel like we made the right decision right away. The packages they offer and food they serve are also great! We have nothing bad to say about our experience! 10/10- would do it again

Rustic Manor was a lovely wedding venue. Our guests loved the spacious grounds, easy parking, large bathrooms, and classy rustic interior. We loved the large bridal and groomsmen suites, the payment process, the venue setting up chairs for ceremony and reception, and the professionalism of staff throughout the planning process. We did not love how expensive it was for the add ons. For a Saturday wedding in “wedding season” we paid almost 10k just for the venue and venue-specific add ons. This included string lights, nice tables, water service at dinner, use of the Photo Booth, etc. The Photo Booth did not include a guest book to put the extra slides (which we had seen at another wedding at this venue), which we didn’t realize until the night of when it was too late. The bar bill (180 guests) was about 6k. Their preferred dinner vendors were expensive and didn’t have many vegetarian options. The least expensive “preferred food vendor” was 20k for 180 guests. We *really* didn’t love that they didn’t have any signs at the bar. We were expected to purchase signs and write out the drink list, hours, and rules of the bar. Our guests did not love that there wasn’t a bartender on scene to get even water or soda prior to the ceremony. During planning, they encouraged stopping open bar during dinner, so our guests had nothing to drink for the toasts. They did not have a sound system going outside, so half of our guests were outdoors and missed all of the announcements. Our wedding was beautiful, but for a venue that “prefers” an event costing 50k, we expected more.

The Riviera Ballroom was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was responsive, timely, and very well-managed. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - stately and elegant, providing the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner. Our guests raved about the intimate ceremony space and the lovely dinner area, which allowed for great conversation throughout the evening. As the bride, I wish there had been a private space for me to get ready and wait before the ceremony, as the guests were able to see me beforehand. Additionally, some of our guests mentioned that parking was a bit tricky. Overall though, the Riviera Ballroom exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly memorable.

My husband and I got married at Western Lakes Golf Club 5/4/24 and it was incredible. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. The only downside for why I took off a star was because of the day of coordinator provided with the venue. She was great leading up to the day of the wedding but on the wedding day I saw her twice and then never saw her again. She never introduced herself to my husband, never made sure we were lining up for the ceremony or anything. Never checked in on us. I’m the one that noticed we should be getting lined up which should have been the coordinator doing it. But overall, it was a great experience.

He coordinated with our vendors which removed a lot of stress for us. I can imagine that the planning process would have been much more difficult if there wasn't someone like Jonathan to help us through it. The reception ran smoothly and the waitstaff were great as well.

When my (now) husband and I got engaged, soon the reality set in that I was now to become a full time wedding planner. The checklists started getting made with the first one on the list being “find a venue”. We knew we wanted an elegant, upscale, timeless wedding. The first thing that came to mind was an outdoor country club wedding. After touring a few, we realized this was not what we wanted due to unpredictable weather, inconvenience for out of town guests, and rustic vibes we were not trying to go for. Family recommended The Concourse so I reached out to Kylie. During our first tour we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The elegant experience that The Concourse provides is unmatched. (My favorite part being the neutral carpet, no one wants bright red or blue carpet in your wedding pictures.) During one of the most stressful times, stressing about weather and rain is something you can easily take off your plate by being indoors. This venue is perfect to have everything in one place from the rehearsal, to the ceremony, to the reception. Kylie is not only helpful, but goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. She is there every step of the way in the months and days leading up to the big day to make sure your vision becomes a reality. Everything from the set up, to the timing, to helping day-of making sure everything goes according to plan was more than what was even expected. People ask how our wedding went and all we can say is “perfect”. We are so grateful to everyone on The Concourse team, especially to Kylie. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Where do I begin?! We had our ceremony at the Doubletree Hilton and wanted a space for our reception close to the hotel, but without spending an arm and a leg. We booked The Box for our wedding reception in June and everything went perfectly. We were looking for a venue that was affordable and not over priced, no food/beverage minimum, minimal setup, timeless and beautiful, and that could accommodate our guest list of 75. The Box checked alllll of these boxes. I love that we were able to arrange the space how we envisioned and choose our own caterer (we used BelAir Cantina). Jamie worked with us to select a bar package that was extremely reasonable and fit our budget. We felt zero pressure during our meetings and Jamie assured me her team would make sure the space looked lovely, and she was right! We saved money on decor by using The Box’s candles and some lamps they provide, and we brought bud vases with flowers in for table decor. They had all the tables set and ready to go for my personal assistants to set up the little details (bud vases, signage, card box, etc). Both Jamie and Jaime were a delight to work with and made sure we felt comfortable and happy. They were both very responsive and answered all of my questions. I felt like they truly cared about helping to make our wedding day successful and that meant so much to us. There seemed to be plenty of street parking and I know a few guests utilized the parking garage kitty corner across the street with no issues. 10/10 would recommend The Box for a wedding reception or any event for that matter. This space has so much potential and they can help bring your vision to life. I am so happy we chose The Box to celebrate our marriage with our favorite people!! Also downtown Milwaukee and the riverwalk are within walking distance and are PERFECT for photos, even in the rain.
