Absolutely Unforgettable and the best decision we made!

The entire team at St Norbert College is absolutely fabulous to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail and outstanding communication made the entire experience stress free and enjoyable! They helped to transform
Michels Ballroom into an elegant, inviting and refined wedding space. The delicious food and drink received rave reviews from our friends and family and the staff went above and beyond to meet various guest needs. They allowed us to secure additional space to store our things, sufficient time to set up and take down, and most importantly we’re extremely pleasant during the entire process. We had unexpected inclement weather and their flexibility and organization allowed for a change in venue that our guests didn’t even realize. Not to mention the grounds are absolutely gorgeous for all your photo opportunities. We could not have asked for a more unforgettable wedding day and genuinely thank them for making it the most special day we could have ever imagined!

Wedding at Michels Ballroom

Everything for our wedding day was perfect!!! We got married at Old St. Joe's, and our reception took place in Michels Ballroom. We could not have asked for anything more, and I'm still receiving compliments about how it was the best wedding food some people have ever had. Seriously, everyone LOVED it! My Dad was very impressed by the tenderloin carving station too.

Everything was exactly how I envisioned it. Being able to set up early on Friday, was a huge help and weight off our shoulders so we could just enjoy the rehearsal dinner. The staff was all awesome and very attentive all night, and huge thank you to Abigail for putting up with our CRAZY family and friends.

It was the perfect day, and I can't wait to get all of our pictures back to relive it. Thank you again to Carla, our event coordinator, for making the planning of everything so effortless. I could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere but St. Norbert.

Planning our reception at the Bemis Center was almost effortless for us. Every staff member delivered a fantastic experience from the day we inquired about the event space to the moment we walked out the door at the end of our big night. They are truly there to help make anything you are looking for a reality. To top it off, they honestly seemed to enjoy planning with us which took so much stress out of the equation.

I was shocked at how affordable our reception was given all of the services they offered. Every guest we spoke to raved about the great food and service, and the kitchen took every measure to ensure our guests with dietary restrictions were completely taken care of.

The hall is absolutely beautiful, looks nothing like a typical reception hall, and we were able to get in for set up well before the event took place. In order for us to do that, the staff was fantastic and went out of their way to work with our schedule. Our meetings were also typically after business hours, and that was never an issue for a moment. To go a step further, not only is the inside of the hall beautiful and spacious, but the access to an outdoor patio gave our guests room to move around but they were never far away with the windows between the hall and patio.

We were very lucky to have been able to enjoy our reception, the amazing food, and a great party without a hitch or an issue that we know of even today. We are so thankful for the all of the Bemis Center staff who helped us to plan, arranged all the details exactly how we envisioned, and made our day wonderful when the time finally came!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
