Highly recommend the Concourse for weddings!!

We had our wedding last week at the Concourse. Since booking last summer we have been working with Kylie, their event coordinator at the hotel. Kylie is absolutely AMAZING, so responsive, professional, and absolutely detail oriented. She answered any and all questions from us typically within a few hours, was so easy to work with, and truly made the planning process seamless.
The hotel itself also was extremely organized with the floor plan for our wedding and reception, as well as getting everything we needed for our getting ready spaces too. We also hosted a breakfast the morning after our wedding that could not have been easier for us and required basically no set up on our end.
It was a super fun process to have our tasting and all of the appetizers and meals turned out great. The catering team was very accommodating to allergies and special preferences.
Overall, we had an amazing wedding at the Concourse and could not recommend Kylie or the team more!

Dream Day!

We had our wedding at the Madison Concourse Hotel and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we walked into our first meeting with Kylie, Wedding Manager, we knew we had found our perfect venue. The Madison Concourse itself is a beautiful and modern hotel. It is incredibly maintained and decorated therefore requiring minimal decorations if you didn’t wish to spend a lot of your budget on decor. Kylie is incredibly kind, organized, go with the flow and truly listens to what YOU want. She listens to your vision, budget and answers any and all questions. She is willing to jump right in the day of to make sure the day is perfect. We had a wedding coordinator who worked directly with Kylie. Between the two of them, we truly had no worries. The Madison Concourse offers many delicious options for appetizers, dinner and late night snacks. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance all at the Madison Concourse. It flowed really well and moments of “downtime”there was plenty for guests to do in the hotel and surrounding area. Many of our guests stayed the night or even made a weekend of it. We had the most wonderful wedding day. Our only complaint is that the day went by way too fast! We can’t thank the Madison Concourse enough.

Everyone's Favorite Wedding!

My wife and I had our ceremony and reception at The Concourse - we worked with Kylie Reinhart (event coordinator) and had our event catered by the hotel through their Monona Package. The service provided by the hotel was genuinely excellent - the staff was absolutely and utterly accommodating for anything we could ask for and the spaces themselves were perfect for our event size (the Madison Ballroom for the reception fit about 90 people perfectly with space for a photo booth, open bar, and dancing). The capitol was one block away so we were able to do pictures super easily on a tight schedule and the hotel even provided us with celebratory bottles of champagne for once the ceremony was done and the wedding license was signed! We even apparently had an issue with some outside parties (fraternity brothers hosting a dinner nearby) trying to sneak into our event but my wife and I were completely unaware because the Concourse staff took care of it immediately. The staff were absolute professionals and I would completely recommend the Concourse to anyone willing to listen!

Great Service!

We just had our wedding at the Madison Concourse on 11/12. From the first time we were looking at venues, we felt the most comfortable with the Concourse. The staff throughout the hotel are friendly and Julie and her event staff were so responsive to all of our questions. We ended up choosing the Concourse for several reasons, but one of the big ones was how experienced the staff are here and how seamless they made the initial process. That level of service carried through the year! Any time we had any questions, they were there with answers so quickly. There is a coordinator there on site during the wedding, which really removes all worries! The hotel is in the perfect location for a downtown wedding, everything was walkable. It's a great spot for a wedding with a number of out of town guests (as ours was) - there is an airport shuttle and it's easy for out of towners to get to experience Madison without needing transportation. Highly recommend the Concourse for a wedding, or any event!

Madison Concourse was absolutely fantastic!

Our experience with learning about their space, catering, bar options, etc. was a snap! They made it incredibly easy to get ALL the information we needed and in a timely manner! Once we had signed on the dotted line to reserve the space for our wedding, they dealt with us in such a perfectly professional manner even when we asked for about 20 modifications to the event order! They helped with planning the timing of things and took several tasks off my plate, which goes a LONG ways with any couple working through planning a wedding!
The day-of, all of the event staff was extremely friendly and made the day/night go off without a single hitch in the agenda! It was such a relief to know that we were in such great hands with the Madison Concourse! The bartender working our event was AMAZING! He knew what my husband and I were drinking and had the beverage started as soon as either of us started walking towards him!

The food was .... delectable! We knew we were taking a chance with several of the items that we weren't able to sample in advance, however everything came out perfect! Our guests kept telling us how fantastic the food was and how great they thought the wedding space was! All thanks to The Madison Concourse and your fabulous staff!

Awesome Venue

I had my wedding at the Concourse at the end of August, and it was fabulous. Chastity is awesome at answering any questions, and helping you plan our the space. Staff was beyond helpful the day of the wedding. Many guests complimented us on the food, which was plated. We also dropped our decorations off on Friday night before the wedding, and Chastity and the team set it all up for us- it looked better than we could have imaged. I can not recommend the Concourse enough for an ideal Madison based wedding. All of our guests loved the venue, and loved being so close to the capitol. Especially for out of town guests, the location can't be beat!

We had our rehearsal dinner here, and it was a very good experience. Chastity was great to work with, our buffet dinner was really tasty (multiple guests complimented the food), and everyone had a good time. Chastity was also very accommodating of guests with specific dietary needs and my last-minute requests!

We could not be happier with our wedding experience at The Madison Concourse Hotel. Everyone we worked with throughout the planning process (namely, Chastity, the wedding coordinator) was friendly, professional, accommodating, and creative. Even though our wedding was large (300+) the hotel & crew made the planning process incredibly easy and the reception feel intimate & special. Weeks later we continue to get compliments from guests on the delicious food. We are a same-sex couple and felt comfortable, supported, and validated by the hotel and staff. Thanks!! -Mary and Tanya

Working with Chastity was an absolute joy. She was so helpful throughout the whole process and was there to meet and answer any questions we had. The salon and service at the reception was amazing, we could not have asked for a better reception place if we could. I loved everything about it!

The Concourse Hotel & Governor's Club is a fantastic location for your wedding reception! All my bride's love all the unique locations within this hotel for portraits and it's so close to the Capital and State Street for an easy walk!

We always love the opportunity to work with the staff at The Madison Concourse Hotel. The coordinators have been nothing short of accommodating each and every time we are out there. The space itself is great for a wedding reception...large enough to fit everything (photo booth, DJ, bar, dance floor) in the same room with plenty of space to walk around and lounge about...although we'd rather have you dancing! It's also a short hop, skip, and a jump to State Street and a multitude of bars to hit up after the official celebration has come to a close. Looking for a nice downtown Madison venue?
