The Barley Room

The Barley Room comes to life by the creator and designer Marshall Claiborne Green and now remains the director of Sales and Operations of The Clybourn and The Rotunda wedding and event venues.
The idea of reinventing the wedding venue business and offering a much more affordable approach came when many of Marshall Claibornes friends were getting married and the shock of the high costs prompted him to create venues that were not only astecially beautul but affordable and in beautiful neighborhoods in Milwaukee and Waukesha.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Barley Room is a wedding venue built in the German Renaissance Revival style in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1889. It started its life as the Pabst Brewing Company Bottling House and employed almost 900 people during its heyday at the turn of the last century. Nowadays, it is a modern upgrade on what came before it and the perfect mix of charm, sophistication, and convenience for celebrating couples and their loved ones. A personal or virtual tour is needed, as the space is much larger than in any photos or the 360.

Facilities and Capacity

The Barley Room welcomes wedding parties of all sizes, from intimate gatherings of close family and friends to larger events of up to 225 people. Its exposed cream brick, metal framing, and polished concrete floors add to the historic aura, while the expansive windows illuminate the entire venue in natural light. The versatile seating setup allows nearlyweds to organize the venue as they see fit, adhering to their overall vision of the perfect wedding day. An open floor plan and the help of a friendly on-site team only enhance this idea, meaning the venue is essentially a blank canvas, just waiting to be molded into something truly unforgettable.
