Things To Do
Villa Filomena
Our wedding venue! (Also one of Lizzie's places of employment). We can't wait to celebrate with you at this historic Milwaukee landmark! The building was built in 1874, by architect Edward Townsend Mix, as the family residence for Great Lakes Captain Robert Patrick Fitzgerald. It is a study in symmetry. The double arched windows, the arched doorway, the pillars supporting the porch and the bracketed overhang combine to give the house an air of balance and harmony. The Villa Filomena is now a family run business and has specialized in events since 2004.
Parking Lot for the Wedding
Of course, street parking is available. However, the spaces are few and far between. We have arranged to use the Lincoln Center for the Arts parking lot which is 1.5 short blocks north of the Villa Filomena. The entrance is on Marshall St. across from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Company Brewing
This is where we went on our first date, it's also where Jason proposed to Lizzie! Great beer & great food. Highly recommend!

This Riverwest brewery was where we went on our second date - also where Lizzie met (and fell in love with) Pickles. Dog friendly breweries - winning!
