The Factory on Barclay was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, the team at FOB was responsive, helpful, and confident in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and super spacious. As our details came together, I started to worry the industrial look wasn't matching the rest of my wedding style, but we added some drapery to soften the space and it was PERFECT. The brick, high ceilings, drapes, florals, beautiful chandeliers... it was stunning. The big bar by the dance floor was an absolute hit, and we were able to use the outdoor patio space to have a mini golf course during our reception! Mei-Lyn was extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions or meet with us as we planned. Whenever we asked to come take another walk through of the venue, Mei-Lyn was available and happy to help. The Factory on Barclay was truly one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We got so many comments from guests who loved the venue as much as we did.

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.

I first went to the State Line for the incredible Halloween event a couple of years ago, and have been coming back ever since! When my partner and I decided to hold our wedding reception at the State Line Distillery, Shelby was incredible. She made sure I was able to see the space and visualize the layout for our guests, she helped decide on a caterer who knew the space well, and she even let me use some of the wedding items that the State Line offers for events. We rented out the back room, the bartenders were *amazing* all evening, and Shelby made sure the space looked phenomenal and flowed well from the indoor space to the outdoor back patio. Most memorable of all, when it turned out our caterer was expecting us to pick up the food instead of delivering it, Shelby WENT AND PICKED UP OUR FOOD HERSELF, just to make sure the night went off without a hitch. She really went above and beyond for us, and I’ve heard so many people who have said the same about her help at their events — from book launches to college graduations to birthdays. Shelby is an incredible resource and phenomenal event planner, and she is the absolute star of an already great space with amazing drinks. Thanks, Shelby (and thanks, too, to the amazing bartenders for keeping up with our demand all night with your kickass drink menu, too)!!

I would highly recommend The Fitzgerald! The venue is beautiful both inside and outside. We were really drawn to the beauty of the ivy on the outside of the building. The colors, the antique furniture, and the beautiful original details throughout the space photograph so well. We had 125 guests and it never felt crowded. The flow of the space was perfect. We had planned to get married outside on the terrace but the weather did not cooperate so we pulled it inside, and then the staff flipped the room for us during the cocktail hour. It did not feel like a “back up plan” to be inside, and it was so pretty. The cocktail hour space was great for mingling with guests and it’s so nice that there are 2 bars so guests aren’t waiting long for drinks. Then flowing back into the ballroom for dinner and drinks just worked out great. It was great to have the outside space and the cocktail area for guests to enjoy themselves if they didn’t want to be on the dance floor. We got ready in the upstairs spaces, which I would highly recommend! They are spacious and so convenient. We were required to use Milwaukee Airwaves as our DJ and All Occasions as our caterer, which took the stress of choosing those vendors off our plate. Both vendors were incredible! Truly can’t recommend this venue enough!

As the Mother of the Bride, you want everything to be beautiful and meaningful for your daughter—while still being able to relax and truly enjoy the celebration. I was so grateful to experience exactly that at my daughter’s wedding. Working with Kari as our planner was a wonderful experience. She made the entire process feel easy and fun, while paying close attention to every detail that ensured the wedding ran seamlessly. I joined both video planning consultations, and her well-organized, thoughtful approach made each meeting productive and enjoyable. Most importantly, Kari delivered on everything she promised—and more. Her husband, Mark, is an exceptional chef who created the most delicious food. Along with his friendly and professional staff, he treated us to a lively Italian feast at the rehearsal dinner and a truly sumptuous dinner on the wedding night. The food was unforgettable. Throughout the evening, we received countless compliments on the wedding—from the atmosphere to the service to the incredible meal. The venue’s gazebo is especially magical—a wonderfully romantic setting that feels perfect for photos and dreaming about the future. One look at the photos and you know you’ve discovered a truly special place. We will cherish these memories for many years to come. Thank you, Kari and Mark, for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable experience!

We 100% recommend Coast Venue and Zilli Hospitality Group (ZHG)! From the moment we first toured the venue to the final moments of our reception, the entire experience was seamless, elegant, and genuinely joyful. If you are planning a wedding in Milwaukee, Coast is a fantastic choice. Location & Space The atmosphere, views, and location at Coast strike a great balance of having a wonderful Milwaukee downtown and lakefront feel, while still being incredibly functional. The recent renovations to the interior give it a modern look with more sense of space. The bridal suite is spacious and convenient with plenty of mirrors and seating. There are beautiful photo opportunities available right outside the venue. This was a big reason we chose the venue over others. Gardens across the street, a public park with plenty of grass, the Milwaukee art museum - all amazing. It has a great patio for cocktail hour and outdoor access for guests. It is close in proximity to hotels and there is accessible parking for guests in a garage nearby. The Team We worked with Laura as our Event Designer and cannot say enough kind words about her work. She is knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, timely, creative, and fun. Laura guided us throughout the entire process and answered all our questions along the way. She was great at steering us in the right direction when we were uncertain what to choose for placement, design, etc. She also coordinated extremely well with our vendors for setup and deliveries. Laura and the staff set things up exactly as we discussed and the space looked beautiful! Additionally, we saw first hand that the waitstaff was very kind and friendly to guests. The servers and bartenders were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and sincere. The Food We received so many compliments on how good the food was. ZHG has a huge variety of food choices to select from for any stage of your wedding or event. The options are tasty and fun and our guests also enjoyed the desserts and late nice snacks. The staff helped us with cake cutting and serving, even though we purchased our wedding cake from a separate bakery. For all of this, throughout the process, the pricing was very transparent. This helped a lot with our planning process. Overall, Coast was a wonderful canvas for our wedding design and we are so glad we chose it! We truly had the best day and would happily recommend Coast, Zilli, and most importantly, Laura, to anyone for their wedding venue in the future. We felt as if we had a wide variety of options for our wedding design but were never overwhelmed by choices or treated with anything but kindness and hospitality. Thank you Laura and team for an incredible experience and a beautiful wedding day.

We had the most perfect day getting married at the Pritzlaff 325 this past October. We really lucked out with the weather and had a beautiful ceremony in the courtyard. The cocktail hour was also stunning! Really can't say enough positive words about working with the Pritzlaff team - Jessica, Ali, Lauren, Olivia - and the staff the day of! 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.

I discovered The Rose House through a coworker because her daughter had her reception there. When I went to visit this location I knew this is what I was looking for! My wedding theme was Fall in the Shire and The Rose House definitely feels like you're at a pub in a mystical land. The bar is decorated beautifully with a mermaid/nautical feel, lots of gorgeous exposed brick walls, and a beautiful rose mural. And there are so many twinkling lights! The bathrooms are nice and big enough to fit a bride in a wedding gown. Rosalind was helpful with the planning process and great on the day of my wedding by letting the vendors know what to do. Her staff was awesome, I especially LOVED her bartenders. The marquee out front with our names on it is such a fun touch to the venue. We ordered the french fry and pretzel snack station later in the night and it was delicious! It was sad when we had to take down the decorations and leave because it was so beautiful, I wanted it to stay like that forever. The location is great and I really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue.
