Robert H. Married on 01/16/2022Had the Best Time at Best Place!
The Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery was an amazing venue. It is a beautiful location and the staff were easy to work with. We were also able to stay at a nearby hotel and remain within walking distance the whole weekend - even in the dead of winter in Milwaukee. The space was also a great value - especially compared to other, similar spaces in Milwaukee. Our guests had so much fun before the wedding going on a tour of the buildings and looking through the gift shop. Finally, they were very flexible - allowing us to reschedule by almost a year due to COVID-19. It was a really great venue, and I would suggest it to anyone. -

There is no better place to hold your wedding!
The Best Place was perfect for our ceremony and reception. Sarah and the entire staff took such great care of us and our guests. They did everything they could to make us feel safe and taken care of. All of our guests were mesmerized by the beauty and history of everything the buildings offer. We knew when we first walked in to do the tour that it was the place we would be getting married.-

Cynthia K. Married on 10/04/2020Great Historic Venue
We loved how gorgeous the hall is. Because of the historic beauty we did not have to decorate at all!! One less thing for us to fret about and it looked better than we could have ever imagined!! The staff was more than accommodating and very friendly; by the end of the night they felt more like guests!! It was perfect! -
