Exceptional Service for a Sweet Day
We could not have asked for a better place to host our wedding reception. Amy, the venue coordinator, was excellent throughout the entire wedding plan process. The day of the wedding went smoothly, and we have to thank all of the staff for their support, thought, and care for our event. Many of our family and friends complimented us on our wedding reception, and we will cherish the special day we had at Story Hill Fire House.

Beautiful Venue
We can not say enough amazing things about StoryHill Firehouse and the amazing staff! Our April wedding was absolutely amazing and made perfect by the venue and Amy’s amazing recommendations and patience. Amy relieved so much of my stress on my wedding day in the bridal suit I was laying and resting instead of a huge ball of nerves and worry. It was perfect. The Venue is breathtaking and definitely a conversation piece itself. Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue and enjoyed finding the pieces of history elegantly placed within. 10/10 would hands down recommend Storyhill firehouse to anyone for any occasion

Unique historical venue with amazing service that our guests can't stop talking about!
As soon as we saw the Story Hill Fire House, we knew it would be on our short list for wedding reception venues. As soon as we toured and met with Amy, the manager, we knew it was the one for us! As it turns out, we made a great decision – we’re still getting compliments on the venue four months later! Story Hill Fire House was very fairly priced, especially for a Friday night, and both Janelle and Amy, as well as their staff, were responsive, professional, and went above and beyond what was advertised. The space is warm and inviting and strikes the perfect balance between formal and relaxed. It’s beautiful enough that we didn’t need to spend an arm and a leg on flowers and decor, and the fun Milwaukee history was right up our alley as a couple! It is a little smaller than many local venues, but we liked it enough that we chose to do a cocktail style reception rather than a seated dinner just so we could fit 150 people in the space. We held our ceremony at our church, so we did not need this service, but we have no doubts that they would’ve pulled off a ceremony and “flipping” the space with no issues had we needed it. Additionally, we were a little worried about street parking, but it ended up being a complete non-issue. In all, we loved hosting our wedding reception at Story Hill Fire House, would recommend it to anyone, and would absolutely host another event here in the future!

Perfect Venue
The venue was beautiful and the staff was so great to work with! We had about 70-80 people and it was the perfect size for the ceremony and reception!

Itnfelt like family!
The Venue is beautiful and would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner or wedding. The large doors make it easy to enjoy the outside but still be in the venue hall.
