Veterans Terrace is a classic but modern wedding venue that is nestled right in historical, downtown Burlington, Wisconsin. With 18 foot ceilings and a ballroom that is surrounded by 9ft windows on three sides, the White River, Echo Lake and Echo Park create the nature-lovers dream back-drop for any occasion.

Facilities and Capacity

The Liberty Hall has nearly 6,000 square feet of wide-open floor space that can seat up to 360 guests in total. Your loved ones can enjoy your reception underneath the romantic crystal chandeliers and dance the night away to music from your DJ or band on the spacious dance floor. The ballroom's large windows will allow you and your guests to enjoy stunning views of Echo Lake, Echo Park and the White River. For outdoor ceremonies, the Memorial Terrace adorns a gorgeous brick construction and is surrounded by lush hydrangea bushes, roses, perennials and spacious green lawns for a touch of natural beauty. Smaller winter weddings and prenuptial events will be welcome to use the versatile Patriot Hall or the intimate Stars and Stripes Room. At night, couples and guests can admire the LED-lit Echo Lake dam (color chosen by our couple), which adds an effervescent glow to the celebrations. Our historic, bricked Memorial Terrace, with the street lamps above and cocktail lights overhead, is also the perfect romantic spot for a first dance or sparkler photo.

Services Offered

One of the things that makes Veterans Terrace most unique, is that we have a wide variety of FULL HALL DECORATING PACKAGES!! Our couples are able to choose from the numerous decor options and the Veterans Terrace staff sets it up and then does all of the clean up at the end of the night. It is the easy button for our brides!! Veteran's Terrace has a dedicated team of employees that strive to make every wedding day a truly memorable experience. The staff goes above and beyond to cater to the couple's needs, ensuring that every aspect of your wedding day is expertly executed. Our experienced staff is on hand throughout the occasion to assist with the planning, the setup, and the cleanup for a smooth-running event. All of our rentals also include linens, event staff, bartenders, tables and chairs.

Michael & Sherrill

My husband and I cannot say enough kind words about Veterans Terrace! From beginning to end they were absolutely wonderful! Beth responded to my inquiry right away and even got us in the next day! She gave us a wonderful tour and explained in detail the pricing and packages. No games or agendas. Every step of the way she was communicative and helpful, answering all our questions. You can tell she really cared. We had a short engagement and we truly could not have pulled it off without them! We couldn't have chosen a better venue. They have so many resources and reccomendations they supply to your fingertips for all your other vendors needs. We could have found a less expensive venue for sure, but they made the experience so easy and less stressful! They not only have beautiful venue, inside and out, but they have a huge selection of decorations making it again, easy. You can still have your personal touches and be a part of the process as well. Closer to the wedding, we got to work with Sherry as well and she was just as delightful and sweet! I was stunned walking into the reception hall to see how it turned out before the wedding. What a beautiful and magical day! All of the staff at Veterans Terrace were incredible and professional and rolled with any punches that took place! Another shout out to the night staff and to Kellsie who made the evening so much better! We love that Veterans Terrace is a part of our story!

Best venue

My husband and I got married at Veterans Terrace in June 2025. This place holds many special memories but my favorite one so far, our wedding! We are so lucky to have all the vendors we had to make sure the day ran smoothly, but it would not have been the same without Beth being there every step of the way. Her team made sure our day went off without any confusion and it flowed so smoothly. From planning, to set up and finally the big day, it was easy and I had full trust in the whole team at Veterans Terrace. We will forever be grateful for this venue-it was the best place to start our new adventure together as husband and wife!

Wedding Review

My husband and I got married here just a few weeks ago. Beth and Sherry are wonderful to work with. They are quick to respond and personable. They made sure that everything went to plan.

The venue itself is beautiful. We had so many compliments on the ceremony space, cocktail room, and the reception hall. We opted to do the decor package and the lighting package which made the space even more beautiful.

We can't thank Beth and Sherry enough for making this the best day of our lives.

A Beautiful Venue

The staff at Veterans Terrace was wonderful and did so much to make sure our wedding day/night ran smoothly. Everything was so beautiful and went perfectly! So many guests complimented the venue and said it was one of the most beautiful venues and weddings they had been to. We have to give the team at Veterans Terrace all of the credit for everything they did from coordination to decorating. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day!

The amount of compliments were crazy!!

Beth and Allison were so incredible to work with! We looked at many different venues and decided on Veteran's Terrace for the beauty of the venue itself, not for it's potential. Not only was the venue absolutely stunning, the staff were so helpful and bent over backwards to any request we might have had on our night. Both Beth and Allison went over every single detail, and communicated back and forth numerous times to ensure that our day was captured the way we wanted it to be captured. Their recommendations were also a hit and the vendors we chose from their recommendations just added to the magic of the night. Thank you ALL at Veterans Terrace for making our night so incredibly magical! I will never stop thinking about our wedding day!

Happily ever after..

Veterans Terrace was every woman’s childhood princess fairytale dream… the stairs to the alter, the chandeliers, the twinkle lights, the river.. and the terrace!! The staff were so kind and helpful, allowing us our privacy while getting ready but still checking in periodically to make sure we were taken care of. Allison and Beth were SO helpful in organizing and helping me and my husband with any concerns we might have had, comforting our nerves and being so patient with us as we navigated planning our big day. They were especially so so accommodating of my sister with a physical handicap, making sure that she was taken care of and safe! The staff even allowed us to check out the reception area and hall to make sure everything was to our liking before allowing guests in. It was the BEST day of our lives and we still, 4 months later, have our friends asking to do it again. We recommend veterans terrace to everyone and anyone getting married.

Don't hesitate!

Can't say enough about what a great deal this is! Beautiful spot and the team was so kind, funny, organized, and communicative - we couldn't have asked for more and were so happy to be stress-free on our big day knowing that we were in good hands.

Best Night Ever

Beth and Allison were great to work with. They were able to accommodate our goals and plans we had for our wedding day. They were onsite on our wedding day to help coordinate each event, and even helped set up our timeline for the night ahead of time. The communication from Allison and Beth was both timely and thorough throughout the entire process.

We loved the “getting ready” suite in the lower level for both our bridesmaids and groomsmen. The convenience of having the lights and decor package made our wedding day much less stressful. We received many compliments from our guests for the lights, decor and venue itself. The venue is newly renovated and absolutely gorgeous.

We decided to have our first dance outdoors just around sunset. Our vendors worked closely with the venue to make sure we could get the timing done perfectly, without having to delay the remainder of the night. The first dance concluded with a sparkler exit from close family members, which was the cherry on top.

Overall, this venue provided us with everything we had hoped for and more. They made our wedding day one that we and our guests will never forget.

Best Place for a wedding

Best place to get married! Every single staff member is amazing! My dad made a comment that in terms of staff and their organization and knowledge and keeping the schedule and flow of the night that this was the best venue of all the weddings he has been a part of, the getting ready room was also so crucial for setting the mood and letting us stay relaxed while we prepped for our wedding! The dance floor being available while guests stayed upstairs made us feel like we had a very intimate private moment where we could just chat a bit and take it all in. We also had our wedding outdoors and it was perfect! I honestly will always and forever be grateful to veterans terrace for making my dream wedding not only come true, but also as stress free and enjoyable as possible! If I ever need to throw an event as big as a wedding I hope to be able to book veterans terrace - by far the best venue to book not just in burlington, but the surrounding area including milwaukee! They definitely really care about their brides and grooms!

Spectacular people

Every single one of the guests I talk to were blown away by the beauty I told everyone I talk to “ people think they need to be in lake Geneva or Brookfield or Illinois suburb, but that is not the case. The greatest beauty and value can be found inBurlington. Every single piece of this wedding from the venue to the dresses , the food, the tuxes, the flowers. Decorations, etc, was all from burlington , seriously , a one stop shop destination” thank you for making their day amazing . Everything was so perfect . We had a lot of affluent people including Doctors,CEO’s and even an actor, and they were amazed by our small town , incredible quality of elegance and every vendors employees, were professional, kind and and helpful, you all have so much to boast about! Lastly, a young little misplaced her wallet and the staff found it completely intact, the next day. The bride hid here bouquet and the next day the staff saved it. Big business locations do not have this personal touch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
