We had an amazing experience having our wedding reception at the Crowne Plaza thanks to Veronica and her team! Veronica was professional, flexible and readily available to all of our requests. From start to finish, Veronica went above and beyond to make sure our dreams became reality. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking to have their dream wedding reception to book an appointment with Veronica.

Veronica was a pleasure to work with and helped us relax during a stressful process. Having a venue that only does one wedding a night was extremely attractive to us. The Crowne Plaza’s entire team did not rest until we were happy. We cannot thank them enough.

The detail that Veronica gave us and the staff was amazing. They even checked in with us the day after to make sure that we were satisfied with how the day had gone. People always say that something will go wrong, nothing actually did in any aspect (except for the ring bearer got nervous and did not walk down but no biggie!). It is was recommended to us from a friend who had gotten married there 4 years before us and we will absolutely recommend them to anyone else that we run into who is looking for a vendor. The food was delicious and the late night snack was a hit!

Tess Zahn was absolutely perfect. She replied to us on our days off, was very patient with us while we were trying to make decisions, offered honest suggestions, and made planning our day (and our actual day) a completely wonderful experience. She is a huge asset to your staff, and if we lived in town, I would request working with her for all of our party planning events.

Easy to work with, not really any advice. It was painless and they made sure my special day was great! Stacey G. even went out of her way to supply coloring books at the kids table. She was awesome and responded to my emails in a timely matter.

The Crowne Plaza West was a BEAUTIFUL venue for our reception. We not only had the banquet hall, but also the hallway outside the room with counter top space for decorations/place cards/guest book, and the lobby areas with comfortable seating for guests. The staff checked in with us during the night to ask how everything was going, and brought us a drink of our choice right to the head table! Stacey was very organized and detail oriented, and did a great job coordinating the table set-up and decorations. The package included chair covers and chair ties that really added to elegant look of the room.

Everything was amazing! Our wedding was almost a month ago and we are still getting compliments on it! The food was superb. We dropped off our centerpieces and wedding favors the day before our wedding and explained to Victoria how we wanted the tables set-up, she did it exactly how we asked and it looked even better than what we pictured. We received quick responses to all emails and even if it was her day off, Victoria would respond and let us know she would get back to us when she was in the office. We did a buffet package and were impressed with everything that came with it. Not many places offer chair covers and bows in the package. Plus our entree choices included pretty me rib without an up charge. My husband and I had special cheesecakes made for us and we didn't eat them at the reception so the staff took them up to our room for us.
I would recommend Crowne Plaza Milwaukee West in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
