About

The Mitchell Park Domes Conservatory is an elegant wedding venue that brings natural beauty indoors for perfectly colorful ceremonies and receptions. With three different themes, the three Domes offer a gorgeous space to hold your wedding or reception.

Floral Shower Dome

This lush, flower-filled terrarium celebrates a new historical, cultural or fantasy theme with each show by entirely transforming the space with themes like Italian villa, Spanish hacienda or Williamsburg mansion. The Floral Show Dome is ideal for those who want to be surrounded by beauty and inspiration on their special day, enjoying the winding paths, gazebos and enchanting floral arrangements.

Desert Dome

Celebrate in the deserts of Africa, the Americas and Madagascar, surrounded by towering cacti and palm-covered paths winding throughout the dome. A captivating Dragon Tree, one of many interesting features of this venue space, can be found on the “island” along the path.

Tropical Dome

Filled with vibrant plant and flower species and tropical birds, the Tropical Dome is your own personal rainforest for your truly unique ceremony or reception. The verdant plant life will enchant guests along with the lush colors of the foliage and flowers.

Zilli Hospitality Group is the exclusive caterer of Mitchell Park Conservatory and has over 40 years of experience, making them the most established hospitality firm in Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin.

100% positive experience - highly recommend ZHG, Adorn and The Domes!

All I can say is Wow! Working with Jessica P and the team at Zilli Hospitality Group, Adorn and The Domes was wonderful!!! Not only did my daughter and her husband have an absolutely beautiful wedding reception, but we actually had fun along the way and enjoyed the planning process! ZHG made it easy with their very clear selection and pricing information (and our Chicago area friends who have planned weddings were very jealous of the very reasonable prices we paid for such excellent quality!). The tasting dinner was a fun event all by itself and we all agreed that no matter which dishes we had selected, they all would have been good. But, sometimes the food on a larger scale and buffet style is not as good as at a tasting – but for our event, every bite was just as good as what we had at the tasting! Having the flowers and table centerpieces done by Adorn was another wonderful experience. We came in to the consultation with a few ideas and Madeleine took those few ideas and made it perfect. My favorite were the table centerpieces – Madeleine, being familiar with events at The Domes, knew exactly how to have the centerpieces play off the lights and match the ambiance of the venue. And since Adorn is part of ZHG, we didn’t have to worry about coordinating with a separate vendor – payment and delivery was all coordinated through ZHG. Jessica also helped us with recommendations and contact information for DJ, hotels, transportation, photographers and she absolutely saved the day by helping us figure out parking for our guests so we could arrange shuttles when we found out rather last minute that the Church would not have a parking lot available due to a construction project! And The Domes was an absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding reception! I could go on and on so I’ll just summarize by saying we had a 100% positive experience and would highly recommend ZHG, Adorn and The Domes! Thank you, Jessica!!!!

The venue was beautiful at night. The food was declious and the staff was very accomadating. We worked with Angela at Zillis and she was such a big help. Liked her and the food so much , we booked with Zillis for our other daughters wedding. We had alot of out of town guests due to fhe fact my daughter was and her husband is in the military/ We had so many compliments from our out of town guest on the venue and of course the food. It was perfect evening .

This was the most beautiful wedding venue to have our ceremony and reception at. This was literally like a destination wedding without having to travel too far. I would recommend you tell your guests to view the entire venue during your event. Our guests were having too much fun dancing the night away and didn't realize they could walk the entire venue.

Awesome venue and reception space...a big hit with all of our guests!!! Once booked, our options were laid out nicely and decisions were made well in advance so there were no last-minute surprises.

I don’t know where to begin when it comes to thanking ZHG. You made what could be an overwhelming process a very enjoyable one. The fact that you took time to explain all the meal options was very beneficial. You didn’t just hand us the packet and brochures. You talked to us, got to know our likes and dislikes, and then provided helpful suggestions. On top of that, you offered enhancements (probably because you realized I like to get a good deal!). Next, you spent time meeting with us at The Domes, not once, but twice, in order to give Tim a chance to check it out too. The fact that you allowed us to switch to Bud rather than Miller was probably what sold Tim! J Then came the taste-testing event, and what a treat that was. All of your food selections were so wonderful that it was difficult to narrow it down to the final choices.



Once everything was pretty much in place, you continued to provide constant guidance and support. You made me feel so at ease, and I thank you for patiently answering my questions and promptly addressing any concerns. Now, for the big day. Even though you had other commitments, you still took time out of your busy day to come to The Domes and check to make sure everything was just as we had planned. Just seeing you there was reassuring to me.



Please tell your staff that they’re the best! They did a wonderful job of making me feel like “Queen for a Day” . The reception area was absolutely beautiful, the food was the best I’ve ever had, the staff was so accommodating and professional, and everything went perfectly. I have never received so many compliments in my life, and that’s all thanks to you.



I could go on and on about everything, such as the gorgeous show dome, how nice it was that the DJ’s music was acoustically pleasing (allowing guests away from the dance floor to be able to carry on conversations), and the wonderful food and appetizers (can you tell, I really loved the food!). To top it off, your staff was kind enough to box up some food for me to enjoy later since I couldn’t eat anything that day due to the fact that I had the flu. How thoughtful was that!



So thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me look so good. I felt guilty getting all the praise when it was you and everyone you work with that really deserves all the compliments. I would highly recommend Zilli Hospitality Group to anyone else planning a wedding or special event, and if you ever need a referral, I would be more than happy to do so.



Thank you again for everything!

Zilli catering

We were very satisfied with the venue - Paula the event coordinator, the food was fabulous- many guests commented on how delicious and hot the food was. Virginia was very attentive to the bride and groom and myself the mother of the bride. At the end of the evening the staff was helpful and still friendly after a long night. I’m sorry that I didn’t get everyone’s name - but rest assured I truly appreciated each and everyone of you Thank you

Most of the coordination with the Domes staff was handled through Zilli Hospitality, our caterer. The venue was wonderful and very pretty. It fit our group well (approx 200) and provided a nice setting for people to have fun dancing or break away to a quieter area in the Domes themselves. Very unique location - different than a hall. The one disappointment was that there was no flexibility on time for when friends/family could get to the Domes and begin setting up the favors/place cards/program/etc. This led to things being really rushed and we had guests arriving while still trying to do setup. We were also unable to get into the Domes early to take some pictures with family before other guests arrived.

The venue was fantastic and we were able to use all three domes. A couple words to the wise. You will not know the "show" that will be displayed during your wedding until a few months before. We ended up with Ms. Spider which was not ideal but ended up cute in the end. Also, they are exclusively contracted for their alcohol vendor which made things difficult.

Overall we really loved the Domes as a venue. Our biggest frustration was that the staff at the Domes did not allow the rest of the vendors in to set up on time which set the whole evening behind schedule. The ceremony ended up being delayed 30 minutes, but worse than that, the groom had to run around right before helping the Domes get things done. That is not how I wanted my husband to spend the time leading into our wedding ceremony (plus I know it was aggravating for the other vendors who then had to rush to get everything done). Once everything got set up and done though, it is a truly beautiful venue. Just be aware that when they say the vendors can get in at 4pm for set up (an hour before they close to the public), they may not actually let anyone in until 5pm (after they close) and if you have your ceremony start time set early (we had ours at 5:30pm), it may cause a huge problem.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
