So Dreamy!

The Fitzgerald is such a gem. The venue is truly stunning - inside and out, the space is breathtaking. So much so that we hardly added any decor, just florals and signage. The venue has a partnership with a DJ company and a cater so we didn't have to do any additional research/hiring in those fields. Staff was amazing - professional, kind and patient with all of our (many) questions. All in all just a wonderful space that was the perfect backdrop for our big day.

A charming and memorable experience for sure

From the moment I stepped inside The Fitzgerald, I knew I wanted to get married there. The building is an old mansion that the Pabst Theater Group renovated to make it feel modern and inviting, while retaining an old world charm. The venue and bar packages were competitively priced, and the exclusive contracts with both DJ and caterer streamlined the whole music and food aspect of the wedding. Our contacts Ben Hurst and Ann Lennart were great to work with and made the process of wedding planning feel less daunting. We highly recommend getting married here, we had an absolute blast.

Affordable downtown historical charm!

We were thrilled with our wedding day at The Fitzgerald! Lots of historical charm at a reasonable price. Exclusive catering and dj packages streamline what I imagine is usually a stressful part of planning. Not only is there a gorgeous ballroom, courtyard, and foyer, but there is also an entire upstairs bridal suite with unique vibes in each room that provide endless photo opportunities. Our guests were all really impressed with the space and had an amazing evening. Hopefully the photos speak for themselves. Ben Hurst was especially great to work with, who was very accommodating of our specific needs. I highly recommend getting married here and only have good things to say about the venue and staff.
