Hubbard Park Lodge is a special, special place. We held our wedding reception here in March 2025 and had a 10/10 experience. Our guests walked through the tunnel and along the river at golden hour, and the lodge couldn’t have been cozier on a chilly evening (the live fireplace was perfect!). Working with Chris leading up to the reception was so smooth—he happily answered all of my questions and was both attentive and easygoing throughout the process. I was so impressed with the execution of the reception, as well as the friendliness and diligence of the Hubbard Lodge staff. The food was great, the bartender was a blast, and the banquet staff were welcoming and eager to help with last-minute requests. Our guest list was around 140, which felt perfect for the space—our guests loved the upstairs seating. Hubbard is a hidden gem, and the prices are hard to beat (especially in winter). I can’t recommend Hubbard enough for your wedding or next event!

Our wedding ceremony was in Hubbard Park this past summer and our reception was in the Hubbard Park Lodge. We could not have been happier with our experience with the Hubbard Park Lodge. Hubbard Park is absolutely beautiful and made for amazing photos. I loved having our reception in Hubbard Park Lodge. It is cozy, rustic, and historic - it will never go out of style. As far as the wedding planning staff goes, we loved working with Jordan and Catherine. For initial planning, we communicated with Jordan. He was very quick to respond to emails and did everything he could to answer my questions promptly. We met with him several times, and he was always so accommodating. On the day of the wedding, Catherine was there to make sure that the ceremony and reception went according to plan. The ceremony chairs were set up on time by Hubbard Park Lodge staff, and Catherine made sure that everything went smoothly for the reception. She was also very accommodating for the setup of the reception and made sure that we had everything we needed. Jordan and Catherine were amazing and I have absolutely no complaints! The food at Hubbard Park Lodge is delicious! I am confident that there is no other venue in the Milwaukee area that has this good of food for such a reasonable price. We had a buffet dinner and had so many compliments on the food. Hubbard Park is a public park with a beer garden, so we couldn’t prevent random people viewing our ceremony, but we had absolutely no problem with that. Our guests also loved that there was a beer garden to hang out at before the reception. Additionally, one reason we chose Hubbard Park for our wedding is that it has a built-in backup location (Shorewood River Club) in case of rain, taking all of the stress out of our outdoor wedding! Overall, I recommend getting married at Hubbard Park to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique, intimate, rustic wedding with great service and delicious food. We are so happy we chose to get married there!

We were recently married on July 23, 2016. Our overall experience with the lodge was wonderful. The food was spectacular! We had arranged for an outdoor wedding, but sadly when the day arrived we got rained out. However, they provide a free backup venue for rain, so the wedding was held in the Riverclub, the smaller building right in front of the lodge. It was nice to know that even if our ideal outdoor wedding could not happen, we had a plan B. Because there was no early wedding that day, HPL allowed us to get in early and set up. They were more than happy to accommodate whenever possible. The staff was friendly and on the big day everything went just as planned. Sure, there was a miscommunication or oversight here and there, but Jordan Mota was responsive and quick to remedy any issue we had. We were so lucky to have wonderful vendors, a fantastic day of coordinator, and an energetic band who transformed the lodge into a magical vintage circus themed escape. Thank you HPL for you role in our wedding!

We booked Hubbard Park Lodge because we were looking for the country in the city feel. We loved the location for a fall wedding. Trista, the manager, was very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. We initially met with them on site before we booked but after most of our communication was through email. We could usually expect a response the same day. Noah made incredible food! We had a plated dinner but after the taste testing it was hard to choose only a couple options. Our guests loved the rustic feel of the cabin and the layout with the balcony. We had 155 people but still had room to dance just by moving a few more tables. The staff was all amazing and were really friendly to our guests. If you are looking for a unique and rustic venue this is it!!

Hubbard Park Lodge is nestled in the woods on the river banks of the Milwaukee River. For an outdoor ceremony, the backdrop was simply beautiful. We used the stairs as the entrance/ailes to the ceremony and it made for such a grand entrance. Our guests could not stop ranting about how beautiful the setting was, yet still close to downtown. Claudia, our coordinator, had such a laid back, easy going attitude; whenever I spoke with her, she put me at ease (which was needed, as wedding planning was so stressful). I knew whatever I asked for, she would have the perfect solution and accomodated for all our requests. Noah, our chef, was just as kind, and accomodating as well and the food was delicious! Our guests loved all three of the selections offered! Inside the lodge was the exact ambiance we were looking for. Cozy, yet elegant! I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in an outdoor/woodsy setting to consider Hubbard Park as your venue!

Hubbard Park Lodge has great packages for every budget. Their facility is beautiful and they have amazing food!

I had my wedding at Hubbard Park on Aug 9, 2014. They did a really great job! I'm not going to lie, I was not happy to find out there was a beer garden at the park after we had booked it, but it didn't interfere with the ceremony itself, however, I was upset with my guests for having beer before my ceremony. Had the beer garden not been there it wouldn't have been a problem, so I'm still not excited about that, BUT that is really my ONLY negative thing to say about Hubbard.

The staff at Hubbard really helped the day move smoothly. If there was anything we needed, they were quick to get it. We had a young man, and his name escapes me, but he came down to my new husband and myself after our ceremony and let us know if there was anything else we needed through out the night he would take care of it.

The reception was beautiful. They really keep up the lodge nice and we got many compliments on what a great venue it is. We also got many many compliments on the food. When we went in for our tasting we were in love with the food, so we were very happy that we got the same quality at our wedding.

Fabulous venue! Incredibly professional the day couldn't have gone better. Their food was amazing to say the least and just a stunning setting for the price.

Hubbard Park Lodge is an excellent value for the services and quality you receive. All of the staff from waitstaff to the event coordinator were extremely friendly and accommodating to requests. They were extremely easy to work with and gave excellent guidance on how to make our day as amazing as possible. We had the least expensive menu choices, but everyone raved about the food! It is definitely better then "typical" wedding food. They also have a really great late night menu.

It is a beautiful historic building, but this also affects their flexibility. There are a lot of restrictions on decorations and when you can get into the building to decorate. It makes it quite stressful the day of that you need to coordinate people to go decorate the hall between the ceremony and the reception since you only get access to the hall a couple of hours before your event. The good thing is that it is a such a beautiful hall it does not need much help.

Overall we loved our experience with Hubbard Park Lodge!

*One are of concern that really isn't in control of the hall is the parking situation can be problematic. If you are concerned about guests with limited mobility you really need to request having the golf cart there to bring guests to the lodge.

Oh Wow! that was a comment heard frequently at our wedding reception. As guests walk through a tunnel and venture past the milwaukee river they realize that they are going to celebrate in a unique space. the Lodge is just that cozy, comfortable, a little rustic, but with a couple small touches- amazing. One recommendation would be to string some lights around the banisters upstairs if you have an evening reception/event. The whole venue gets transformed with white linens and it wouldn't be done so well and professionally without Claudia. She alleviated all stress by having quick and honest conversations. My attendants were able to come early and set up the lodge. Our guests loved the outdoor patio. The food was great. I like beef on the raw side but when our intro and speeches ran late, claudia got the food out as fast as possible. The only drawback is that the lodge is used for other things. So be prepared to have people stay after the reception and help remove personal belongings. I would recommend this venue to anyone having less than 175 people. AMAZING
