Beautiful wedding at the Filament

Our wedding at the Filament was great! The venue is incredibly beautiful and we received many compliments on how everything turned out. Our coordinator, Mandi, was amazing. She is so sweet, helpful and very organized. She went above and beyond to ensure our day turned out exactly how we wanted it to. The Filament staff did a great job ensuring things went smoothly as well! We would highly recommend this space and team!

Perfect Venue

We had our wedding reception at Filament this September and couldn't have asked for a better day and team to work with! We immediately knew Filament was the perfect place for us to celebrate when we toured it. We're very impressed by their staff, company culture, and beauty/ambience of the venue. Our venue coordinator, Olivia, went above and beyond for us. Her communication was excellent and her energy helped make the planning process fun and less stressful. Filament's bar service and DJ they work with, Milwaukee Airwaves, was also exceptional. We're so grateful and happy we chose Filament and highly recommend them!

Perfect in absolutely every way!

I could not have pictured a more perfect wedding day, and I owe so much of that to Matt B. (wedding coordinator with Filament) and the rest of the Filament team. They are absolutely phenomenal at their jobs. Matt went above and beyond as a day of coordinator - he was super easy to communicate with, assisted with many other areas of our wedding, provided such good advice, and overall was an extremely fun person to be around and help with on our wedding day. Words do not give nearly enough credit to the amount of effort and support he put in to making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Also, the venue is absolutely stunning, has so much charm and uniqueness you really do not need much decorations to make the space feel magical. Everything was top notch and I would recommend the Filament to any person looking for their special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
