Picked for the space, but recommend for the service!

We picked the Ivy House for its beauty, but would recommend it for their amazing service!

We couldn’t have asked for more easygoing staff and transparent process especially during such uncertain times. It’s hard planning a weddig and doing so in COVID times was definitely uncharted territory. However, Tyler and his staff were so responsive, helpful, flexible, and understanding as we figured it out together. I literally would laugh happy tears when I would get responses to my multiple questions with numbered responses. When I picked the Ivy house two years ago, I loved the courtyard but having it in COVID times was a lifesaver! I was a little skeptical about being outside in mid-October but with all the space heaters and pine-wood fire pits everyone stayed toasty and helped us keep our guests safe! So many of the other vendors we worked with remarked at how amazing their staff were key in making everything run smoothly! Would definitely recommend them to anyone

Amazing!!!

I’ve worked multiple weddings at The Ivy House, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this stunning venue with its lush greenery, cascading ivy, cream city brick, abundant natural light, and chic industrial vibe that makes every bridal look pop. The ivy-covered patio is a dream for outdoor moments! Highly recommend!

The perfect venue

We could not have had a more positive experience with The Ivy House. We toured a few venues and knew immediately where we wanted to book. The space is so wonderful on its own with ivy covering the walls and hanging, you feel like you barely need to do anything for decor. Nothing could've prepared us for the way the light comes in during golden hour.

The team at Ivy House is unmatched. Olivia gave us the tour and corresponded with us throughout a large portion of our engagement, answering any and all questions we might have in such a prompt manner. That style of communication didn't skip a beat when we began working with Mallory as our Venue Manager.

The team is so kind and helpful and most importantly, they do not nickel and dime you like many venues do. We were able to use the bridal suite all day, beginning in the early morning, for no additional charge. They were so flexible with last minute changes that were not anticipated.

I did not have a single worry all day. The Ivy House hosts a team of professionals who do not skip a beat. The set up and tear down were flawless. There wasn't a moment where we didn't have a drink in our hand, brought up to us by their team.

The space is clean, functional, and beautiful. Our guests had so many nice things to say about the venue, the patio, and the bridal suite (for those who used it). The team and venue could not have been better and I would recommend getting married at The Ivy House to anyone I meet with zero reservations.

We are so grateful for their contributions to our perfect day!

Literal perfection

There is no wedding vendor we could recommend more than the Ivy House! From the BEAUTIFUL location to the incredible staff, it's truly the best venue you could ever ask for. The team was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and worked seamlessly with our caterer and other vendors. They were super flexible about decoration drop off and pickup and did a great job putting up all our decorations. Matt was our day of coordinator and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. We felt so relaxed and happy throughout the entire day. We did our ceremony outside, dinner inside, and dancing back outside and couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you to the entire Ivy House team for everything you do!!

The absolute perfect place for our wedding!!

Having our wedding at Ivy House was an absolute dream!
From start to finish the Ivy House team made the wedding planning process as easy as possible and helped make it the perfect day.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and we had so many compliments from our friends and family about the space. We were fortunate enough with weather to have our ceremony outside on the patio and then dinner/dancing inside but their planning team gave us many options to personalize where we wanted various events throughout the day. There is beautiful ivy and greenery throughout the entire space so we really didn't need to add very much for wedding decor which helped significantly with cost savings.

There is a bridal suite at Ivy House with a separate entrance that is PERFECT for getting ready the morning of the wedding. There was so much space for hair, makeup, and it came with basically a full kitchen and a professional grade steamer that was amazing to have for the day. The space is so cute too and a great unique place for a lot of getting ready photos. Throughout the night we were able to access the suite as well which was also great.

Olivia was the event coordinator assigned to us and she was wonderful to work with, especially with how flexible she was with us not living in the same city as the venue. Specifically with meeting times and also drop off/pickup of our wedding decor for the day. She was very responsive whenever we had questions about the day, and she was very helpful in guiding us with various decisions we had to make. The day itself was seamless and my husband and I can't think of anything that we wish went differently!

Olivia, the bartenders, and all other Ivy House Staff were professional, kind, and all of our guests said how great of an experience they had. While the venue itself is a beautiful place to celebrate your marriage, the Ivy House team is really what made it the absolute best day for us.

Thank you again to Olivia and the Ivy House team, would recommend this venue for anyone looking for their wedding day!

A Fabulous Experience

We had our wedding at the Ivy House on Nov 19th, and it was incredible! I couldn't have asked for it to go better. Special shout-out to Matt, our day-of coordinator who made the process so easy. One of my favorite memories was gesturing wildly while talking to a table of my guests, when a glass of champagne appeared in my hand...thanks Matt ;) A special shout-out also to our DJ, Jack who did a fantastic job! Our dance floor was never empty. We had a handful of guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended!

Milwaukee’s Best Wedding Venue

My husband and I had our wedding at The Ivy House on 9.24.22. I can’t even put into words how incredible this venue is, I’m getting goosebumps writing this just thinking about it!
We loved the vibe and appeal of The Ivy House when we were starting to look at wedding venues and it was the first place we looked at. Right away we knew it was the one, it is incredibly beautiful and the Ivy House team has everything down to a tee, you need something they got it for you even before you asked!
Abby was our day of coordinator and I don’t think our wedding would have been as perfect as it was without her. She was EXTREMELY helpful and professional! She answered all my millions of emails (even some texts) leading up to the day with such patience and kindness and whenever I forgot something she had it figured out already for me. I really am speechless on how amazing and caring Abby is, she took care of everything the day of and it all went so smoothly because of her hard work. She even met my husband and I at the end of the ceremony with cocktails in hand! Every little helpful detail you can think of Abby and the The Ivy House did it!
Aaron was our DJ for the night and he also did an outstanding job! Our guests LOVED the music and danced all night! He kept the party going and was super helpful when it came to asking for certain requests. Leading up to the day of he answered all my questions and was great to work with!
I’ll say it again, The Ivy House was incredible, even all our family and friends were in love with the venue, the vibe and the staff.
If you’re a newly engaged couple seeking a wedding venue, I definitely recommend, 1000%, The Ivy House. Your day will be perfect and you’ll work with some of the most caring, professional, talented people you’ll ever meet!
Thank you to the Ivy House team for making our day the best day ever, I truely believe that if we had gone with somewhere else it wouldn’t have been the beautiful day as it was!

Simply stunning!

Simply beautiful and stress-free experience for our wedding day! From meeting one of the owners, Tyler, while viewing the venue and working with Sarah, day-of-coordinator, and Charlie, lead DJ, we could not have asked for a better experience. I was blown away by the ease, constant communication and execution of the event. Highly recommend this venue and team to anyone. The bartenders were all fabulous. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and ease of everything! Constant positive feedback!

THE most beautiful, practical venue

Literally THE most perfect venue. We knew immediately while touring it that we had to get married there. You have access to the whole venue (inside and outside) the entire day and night. They have a large bridal suite above the venue that was so easy and perfect to get ready in. From the first time we went to view it to the day of our wedding their staff was nothing but amazing literally accommodating every single thing I asked for and wanted to do. Our venue lead was Sarah and she was so sweet, helpful and fun to work with. I truly couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Dream wedding location!

I still have butterflies when I am thinking back to my wedding day, and a HUGE part of that is Ivy House and the amazing staff. Tanner is so so awesome and went totally out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and amazing. He worked so hard to make sure me and my husband had everything we needed and our dream came to life. Tanner was so responsive and professional and made sure everything ran smoothly from the flowers to the DJ to the bar! I will forever reccomend this venue to anyone wedding planning. Yes, it was a little pricy but honestly so worth it. The venue is stunning and you get to see the space transform from day to night with all the natural light and ivy inside. The bridal suite on site was so nice and clean and had a full kitchen we used, and the green room was definitely used by people to get out of the noise. Everybody is still raving about how great of a wedding it was and I just want to thank Tanner and all of the Ivy House staff a million times over!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
