Schauer Arts Center opens its doors to couples as a stylish wedding venue in Hartford, Wisconsin. This building began as a canning factory in 1919 and is rich in the history of this era. As it has changed hands over time, the space has been renovated and transformed into an architecturally award-winning building. Here, couples can gather with loved ones and enjoy a celebration in this prestigious setting.
