We had a wonderful experience working with Katie and the Saz's team! She was extremely helpful, professional and responsive with communication to help us plan our wedding reception. Our day-of coordinator also noted she always has a positive experience working with Saz's. We received so many complements on the food and service. The only somewhat negative feedback from our guests who didn't know the area was some parking woes. However, once arrived they were memorized by the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Milwaukee and loved the balcony with views of the lake. Overall, we had an amazing wedding reception and would definitely recommend Jan Serr.

We had such a great experience at Jan Serr! It was an absolutely beautiful venue, the staff were great and the food was delicious. The huge picture window backdrop made for a gorgeous wedding at sunset, with the light perfectly streaming through during the ceremony. Leading up to the big day, Katie was responsive, helpful and played a huge role in getting everything prepared. We HIGHLY recommend Jan Serr as a wedding venue!!! She was also great at connecting us with vendors and facilitating the delivery of certain rentals (i.e., the chandeliers and bar from Bartique).

I would highly recommend this venue for your perfect wedding day. We knew we wanted a space with a wide open dance floor with a modern/industrial feel, and this fit the bill perfectly. I have a big family and was looking to accommodate a wedding up to 300 people, and Jan Serr offered more than enough space. As they do many events beyond just weddings, they offer a lot of different style options for your event (though each decoration rental is a cost separate from the space rental). We worked mainly with Katie throughout the process, and she was incredibly responsive and incredibly kind.

The only catering option is Saz's as the company owns the space. As a native Wisconsinite and former Wauwatosa resident, I was quite pleased with that - though it's absolutely not the bar food you're used to! They had many menu options and great packages to pair with alcohol at an affordable rate. We opted for the buffet option to allow flexibility with our guests, and there was more than enough to go around. Katie and her team even worked out individual vegan options for a couple of our guests.

Instead of the traditional cake cutting, we opted for the ceremonial champagne pour (pictured) which was incredibly beautiful (though I would be wary if you are a bit clumsy like me, the tower is understandably precarious). It was a wonderful non-traditional option to have.

We also rented the lower floor for our cocktail hour as the room was turned over for the ceremony. While Saz's team cannot guarantee who the artists in residence will be, we found it added another layer of flavor and fun to our wedding, and who doesn't want to walk around a gallery, cocktail glass in hand, in your best dress?

Katie was not available for the day of our wedding and we had a substitute day of coordinator. She was very nice, but I will note she seemed a bit frazzled throughout the day - nothing at all went wrong, though! We had an EXCELLENT head of waitstaff who went out of her way to make the day feel extra special for us.

Overall, I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding. One point off for flexibility as there is only one catering option, BUT the catering menu is quite extensive and offers a lot of variety, including for dietary restrictions. My ONE regret is that we ordered the late night festival foods package and we were too busy dancing to enjoy any of the offerings!
