About this venue
The Bur Oak is a century-old building on Madison’s east side that now functions as one of the city’s most beloved music venues and event spaces. An exposed barrel-vaulted roof, brick walls, hand-laid tile, reclaimed wood accents, and a poured concrete bar give the space a layered, lived-in warmth. The capacity holds 130 guests for a ceremony or reception, which makes it ideal for couples who want something intimate without sacrificing atmosphere. The venue includes a large stage, green room, and professional sound and lighting system, so bands and DJs work beautifully in this space.
