Marisa did a superb job coordinating our wedding! We were so pleased to have her walk us through the process of planning and answer all of our dumb questions. the Food was AMAZING!! We got compliment all night about how good the food was! We loved having the unique ballroom and the hallway for everyone to hang out in all night. The front desk staff were even very accommodating! Everytime we walked by, they'd ask how we're doing and offer their congrats. It was perfect!

Rice Wedding

We would absolutely recommend Saint Kate as a venue for your wedding day!! We loved the venue and people we worked with right from the start. We really loved the tasting experience, as we felt Saint Kate gave us the best experience to try everything they have to offer (which is a lot!)... we still have family and friends, a year later, who comment on how good the apps, dinner & drinks were! The ballroom was absolutely gorgeous the night of our reception- everything was where we planned & set up beautifully. We had a good amount of guests come from out of town, so having it at a hotel venue was perfect and convenient for our guests. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't hesitate to celebrate our big day again at Saint Kate! Thanks for all the good memories.

Memorable wedding with great vibes

We couldn't be happier with our choice of venue—it truly exceeded our expectations! We had an intimate celebration, and many of our guests complimented the delicious food, excellent drinks, and the artsy ambiance that perfectly set the tone for our special day. The event manager and staff were incredibly understanding of our needs and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Most of our guests traveled from out of town, and they had a fantastic experience not just at the wedding but also during their stay at the hotel and their time in Milwaukee. It was a day we'll cherish forever!

Best Venue!

The Saint Kate was the perfect venue for our day! From the beginning of the planning process the team was professional and exceptional in their roles. The team gave us great options and creative solutions while simplifying the process and making it stress free (especially as we lived in another city!). If we ever had any concerns the team, and our amazing planner Amaleigh, were there to support and always quick to respond. On the day of the wedding the entire Saint Kate staff was friendly, professional and helpful. They took our vision and put it to life. We could not have asked for a better venue and wedding experience. They made our day so enjoyable and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We showed up and truly had the best day. Our guests raved about the venue's uniqueness and beauty. The food was phenomenal and the overall atmosphere the venue provided was artsy yet elegant. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Best Wedding Ever!

Thanks to Saint Kate we were able to have the best wedding ever! Everyone was so amazing and responsive and allowed me to have a stress free and perfect wedding! It's been 6 months and people are still raving about the food. We also had our rehearsal dinner there and it was amazing! I have no complaints whatsoever. Everything was wonderful and I can't say enough good things about it. I would recommend it to anyone!

Perfect night!

Saint Kate could not have been a more
perfect venue! Matt and the rest of the staff were a joy to work with. Our wedding was beautiful, and best of all, stress-free. So many guests commented that they have never had such delicious food at a wedding - from the appetizers to dinner to the late night pizza!! I would recommend Saint Kate to anyone!!

Wonderful Experience

We worked with Matt for our wedding and he was extremely responsive and helpful. Our guests loved the venue, food, and atmosphere. It was great to have all of our out of town guests stay here and enjoy the entire weekend.
