The Most Magical Day

Circa on Seventh was an outstanding venue for our February 2024 wedding. We wanted a space that could accommodate our 140 guests, but still feel intimate and cozy without feeling too crowded. This venue was the perfect choice. We had a very specific vision for how we wanted our wedding to look and feel, and Circa completely DELIVERED! It was even more magical than we could have dreamed of.

Hanni and the staff at Circa made the entire planning process SO much less stressful. From promptly answering our (many) emails, handling ALL of the setup and take down of décor, and providing us with lots of reassurance that our day would go smoothly; anxious brides should look NO FURTHER! The peace of mind that they were able to provide us leading up to and on the day of our wedding was priceless. They even helped us time our processional entrances so that the bridal entrance happened at an exact timestamp in our song! Their undivided attention to these small details just demonstrates how much they truly care about each couple. Don’t even get us started on how much they nailed the décor. We can’t believe how beautiful and elegant they made our day just from a few basic conversations and inspiration pictures we provided them.

Our guests have shared with us how magical it felt, how much fun they had at the reception, and how great the food was! Truthfully, we weren’t expecting much from wedding food—so we were VERY pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food at Circa. They also have multiple options to accommodate dietary restrictions (which this vegetarian bride definitely appreciated). The late-night pizzas that we added on were also a hit after a few hours of dancing!

The entire day went seamlessly. The staff was able to flip our ceremony space into a reception at lightning speed and without disrupting our guests, they were incredibly attentive to us and to everyone in attendance, and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about the entire experience. We will recommend this venue to everyone we know!

Best Day Ever at Circa on Seventh

Circa on Seventh could not have been a better place to marry the love of my life. The staff went above and beyond with everything our wedding day needed. Kelsey was so responsive and was always available to help and answer any questions we had. Not only did she help throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding but on the day of, I would have been lost without her. They truly made sure we would have the BEST DAY EVER every step of the way!

They Made it So Special!

Circa on Seventh was the easiest team my wife and I have ever worked with, hands down. From the second we saw their venue up until the last minute of our wedding reception, they were amazing to work with. We worked with both Kelsey Brunner and Kelsey Tover and they truly took the stress out of planning the wedding. Whenever my Wife or I had a question, we would shoot them an email and they were very responsive! The venue itself is beautiful and perfectly decorated. We had a "micro wedding" with only about 25 of our closest family and friends so there was plenty of room for dancing and talking! But, if you wanted to have a larger wedding, they are able to accommodate that with ease. Both times we visited the venue (for the initial tour and the tasting) they had the place set for larger weddings over 100! Really great people to work with, really great venue, and really great food. You cannot go wrong with Circa on Seventh!

Best day ever!

Circa on Seventh went above and beyond for our day. The staff was amazing and worked tirelessly to make our day as easy and smooth as possible. They took on tasks such as set up and clean up, which took a huge weight off our shoulders and let us enjoy our day. Our guests had a great time and enjoyed the space, food, and staff as much as we did. Highly recommend!

The BEST Venue in the Area

My husband and I routinely talk about Circa being the best decision we made in regards to our wedding. We heard rave reviews about the food all night and the days following the wedding, the wedding package was extremely all-encompassing, the venue is stunning. We had about 135 guests attend, and the space felt full but not crowded by any means, and we both think this added to the awesome energy of the day. Truthfully, though, the staff at Circa were phenomenal. We worked with Kelsey, and her professionalism and energy were simply amazing. She did the set up and take down with the rest of the staff, she managed a lot of confusion with guests and vendors very well, and she was super easy to work through our checklist with. Cannot recommend enough.

Wonderful Wedding Venue

Circa on Seventh was a beautiful venue for our wedding! We had 75 guests in attendance and we held both our ceremony and reception at Circa. The chandeliers and exposed brick really added to the venue’s charm and made for awesome photos and an intimate feel. The location in downtown Kenosha was also perfect; there’s so much to do in the area and bars were open after the reception for everyone to continue having fun. The beach is nearby too so we were able to take wedding party photos there before the ceremony. We chose to have passed hors d’oeuvres, a buffet style meal, and the dessert buffet, and we heard over and over again from guests that the food was delicious!

It was also so helpful to work with Kelsey in the planning and organizing. She was very responsive to all my questions and was genuinely excited and interested in our vision and hopes for the day. I especially appreciated that Kelsey emailed me throughout the year to check in about details and decisions; it kept me organized and prevented me from being overwhelmed. I also appreciated how she helped us stage everything with our wedding party during the rehearsal. It was convenient that we could bring in our centerpiece and decor items anytime the week of the wedding and the staff set them up for us. That was a huge thing I didn’t have to put on my to do list, especially on the wedding day! All the staff at Circa were so nice and professional throughout the entire night. I’m so happy that we chose Circa on Seventh!

There are not enough good things that I can say about Circa on Seventh and the lovely staff that make it so wonderful! My husband and I booked Circa on Seventh as our venue for both the ceremony and reception for our October 2017 wedding. The physical space is absolutely stunning-- exposed brick, grand staircase, gorgeous bridal suite, buffet room, and intimate feeling. It was the perfect space for the number of people that attended our wedding. Kathy was extremely easy to work with. She was beyond helpful, very responsive to my many emails filled with questions, and so pleasant and friendly. The day of our wedding, the staff at Circa on Seventh paid attention to each and every detail and executed everything flawlessly. All of the food was fresh, warm, and plentiful for all of our guests. My husband and I had such a fun time going through all of the options available for h'orderves, salads, vegetables, potatoes, entrees, and late night food.Steve did such a great job carving the tenderloin for our guests-- he was friendly and efficient! Everything we wanted and more was provided! We are over the moon thinking about how beautifully executed everything was and we HIGHLY recommend Circa on Seventh!

We had our wedding reception at Circa and could not have been happier with how it turned out! Hanni/Kelsey were both great. We worked with Hanni from about November through July. Then we worked with Kelsey the rest of the time and on the day of our wedding Sept 30th. Hanni was extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable about everything with planning our reception at Circa. Kelsey was super helpful - we live in Colorado and when we arrived for the wedding the week beforehand she let us come to Circa at our convenience to drop off decor (2 different times). She made herself available at all hours of the day to me and provided me her cell number in case of emergencies the week of the wedding/leading up to it. Kelsey and the Circa team set everything up for us and the place looked AMAZING - everything was beautiful! They took our decor and put it all together in a way that was perfect. They followed our timeline perfectly all night and worked with our DJ/photographer to make sure each part of the night went smoothly. Kelsey came up to us throughout the night to see if we needed anything (if we did, she was quick to execute). At the end of the night Kelsey and the team put all our decor back in boxes and packed it up for us, which was EXTREMELY helpful!! They really did not miss the mark anywhere - everything was so so perfect thanks to them! I couldn't say enough good things about Circa, Kelsey, and Hanni. The package deal they offer for weddings is amazing as well. I recommend Circa to anyone getting married - you won't regret it! They make the process so easy and the wedding so beautiful/elegant. ***Side note: we were worried about it being a tight fit since we had ~160 guests but so many people told us this actually was a great part of the reception - being in a smaller space forced everyone to be together and mingle... I think it really made the night that much better!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
