I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Everything was absolutely incredible- the staff, the location, the support, the decor, THE FOOD!!! They helped with every aspect of the wedding and were so accommodating and knowledgeable. My family and friends from out of town were absolutely amazed to be at a wedding in such a cool location and we were happy to show off this part of Milwaukee!
