Exceptional Venue

I am beyond impressed with this venue. I’ve worked here multiple times as a wedding vendor, and the staff is unbelievable in their professionalism and accommodations. The venue is stunning and so versatile. They getting ready room is just perfect for a bridal party. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone interested. The location is perfect with a hotel right across the street, there is ample parking, and their coordination between vendors is exceptional.

Gorgeous Venue

We got married March 4th, 2023 at The Gage and I can't say enough good things about getting married at The Gage. From booking to the day of, The Gage staff was helpful all along the way. They offer a portal once you book your venue that is extremely helpful in planning your big day. It has recommended vendors, floor plans, and much much more. This was a lifesaver in the planning process after I booked them. You do have to use one of their approved caterers but they give you a decent amount of options. We went with Timbers Catering, which operates out of The Gage's kitchen and people are still raving about our food. We have 137 people and had plenty of space for everyone. Ashley, Amanda and the rest of the staff were so helpful when I had any questions when it came to planning and made sure the day ran smoothly. Once you give them a list of all your vendors, they take over making sure everything is taken care of for the day. There was always someone there making sure we had everything we needed the day of. This venue is gorgeous for a wedding if you want beautiful pictures. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get married in the Milwaukee area.

Amazing venue with fantastic staff!

We had our wedding at the Gage on 11/20/21 and it was perfect. The venue itself is so beautiful and has wonderful features like included uplighting, a huge bar, and an awesome balcony. On top of that, the event staff is extremely professional, organized, and committed to pulling off events flawlessly! I can't recommend them enough to any brides-to-be, we had a wonderful experience.

Absolutely Perfect

I don’t have words for how wonderful our experience with the Gage was. After being pushed around by other venues and having to reschedule my wedding 3 times due to COVID-19, the Gage and it’s staff/owners were a breath of fresh air. The main team, Ashley, Nina, and Amanda were kind, attentive, and organized throughout the WHOLE process. Even with last minute seating chart and set up changes, they remained positive and warm. On the day of, I felt as if they were throwing a wedding for their best friend or family. They were by my side cheering me on and making every dream I have ever had come true. They and their staff were extremely professional and collected even under stress. I had a large wedding of 200 people, but everything went off seamlessly and the venue itself was absolutely stunning. If I could recommend this venue and tram to every couple I would. Five stars isn’t enough!

Everything was so smooth...

They really outdid themselves. The venue is just simply beautiful. We used the day of coordinator service and it made everything so easy. Everything fell into perfect place. We saw this space as an empty shell and knew it was where we wanted to get married. A year later, I have no regrets. The day was flawless!

Wedding Venue

I don't even know where to start with this review as there is so much I want to say.. The Gage was the most PERFECT place for us to get married at. This was EXACTLY what we wanted and MORE! Ashely and Nina were AMAZING people to work with and we couldn't have asked for more or a better team! Getting married in the middle of a pandemic was probably the hardest thing in the world and these two ladies literally made it the easiest. The Gage was our second venue during this process as we were left with choices due to COVID that we didn't want to make or even be in, in the first place. We were so upset to leave our first venue but it was soooo worth it as we ended up happier here than we would have been! It was not just about the venue itself, but about the staff. They led us through everything. Ashley and Nina literally picked us up and helped us when we felt like we were at wits end with the wedding planning process. They felt like our best friends during this entire thing and only wanted what was best for us. The day of the wedding, they were constantly checking in on us throughout the night and making sure we were happy and had everything we needed. It was as simple as making sure we had enough to drink, to making sure the layout and tables were set exactly how we wanted them. They were so kind! We didn't get to work with Amanda as much, but for the short time we did, she was just as amazing as the other two! I seriously could go on and on as I have nothing but positive things to say! I would recommend this venue to ANYONE as it is exquisite, beautiful, perfect, fantastic, amazinggggg...BUT most importantly because of the staff. If you don't have a good team to work with, you will not get the experience you are dreaming and wishing for! I couldn't have asked for a more PERFECT day! ❤
