Coast is where it is at!

Our wedding day at Coast was perfect. Zilli Hospitality (shout out to Roxann and Deanna) was beyond accommodating for our big day and flexible when it came to changes we needed to make due to COVID. They took very good care of us. Coast is a great location and the food was delicious (especially all of the appetizers, still dreaming about the buffalo chicken tartlets).

Wedding Celebration!

My son's wedding was supposed to take place 3/28/20 since the governor locked down the state on 3/17/20 it had to be postponed. ZHG was great in finding a new day. 9/4/20.....with the fear over pandemic still a factor, ZHG worked so diligently with the health department to make sure our event would be safe. Everyone felt comfortable. This event space is gorgeous, we were able to do a combination of outdoor and indoor spaces. The Zilli team was fantastic and professional. The food was delicious. I highly recommend! It was a beautiful wedding for my son and daughter in law! All of our guests had a fabulous time!

We worked with Candy and Roxanne for our wedding on 7/11/15. They were fantastic, and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I had so many compliments on the wedding...from the venue, to the food, it was all fantastic! I would highly recommend them!

We had our wedding in the Miller Room at Coast on September 7th, 2013. We're still getting reviews that it was the best wedding our guests had ever been to. Everything and everyone was wonderful. The location, bartenders, wait staff, Candy Zilli, the DJs and the food were all amazing. We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding than we had at Coast. I would definitely recommend Coast to all my friends and family.

As the parents of the bride, we cannot express how impressed we were with the wonderful hospitality shown by Zilli's Hospitality Group at our daughter’s wedding reception this past April at the Miller Room in Milwaukee. Not only was the their representative friendly and helpful in the planning stage, but also the wait staff and, in particular, our hostess, Choua, and her assistant, Elliott. They are to be commended for taking such good care of the wedding party, our family and our friends during the reception. The entire staff was always attentive to our needs. Their friendly and enthusiastic service provided for a relaxing and fun evening so our guests could enjoy themselves, their families and friends. We received many compliments throughout the evening and afterwards on the excellent service, wonderful food, the beautiful room, and the great ambience Zilli's created . We cannot recommend highly enough how your organization more than met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to all for helping create a perfect wedding!

Zilli Hospitality Group (ZHG) was responsible for not only our catering but our reception venue as well. My husband and I got married on October 8th, 2011 in Milwaukee Wisconsin and were so fortunate to have a beautiful sunny 75 degree day. ZHG set up a beautiful cocktail hour outside where guests were able to enjoy drinks and appetizers while enjoying the venue's (Miller Room) patio with a breathtaking view of the lake and beautiful fall trees. The venue itself was set up perfectly and ZHG did a wonderful job of accommodating our requests. I absolutely cannot say how amazing the catering/food was. My husband and I went to a tasting with ZHG and the food was fantastic then, but even better on the wedding day. EVERYONE raved about the amazing salad and late night pizzas, which were a big hit and delicious. My personal favorite as well as a guest favorite was the amazing butternut squash ravioli! Just wonderful. Staff was friendly, accommodating and very helpful throughout the evening and my husband and I could not have asked for better. I would recommend ZHG to any of my closest friends or family in a heartbeat!

We first decided on the Harbor Lights Room because they had a date in Sept open. After meeting with the staff we realized we made the right decision. Candy was so friendly and helpful with the whole process. Any questions we had (Big or Small) were always addressed promptly. The Whole Zilli family were so accommodating to anything we asked for. We are still getting compliments on the food and service at our reception. The staff was so attentive to Jason and I through out the whole night. Always making sure we were doing ok and if we needed anything or if our guests needed anything. I can't say enough about the whole staff. They truly made us feel like we were the most important people that day. Even the DJ (also ran by the Zilli group) was amazing. The website they send you makes it so easy to plan every single detail. And Joe our DJ was also very friendly, accommodating and did a great job. The dance floor was never empty. So I would highly recommend a wedding with the Zilli's! So much, that my best friend is using them to cater her wedding and using "DJ's on the mix" as well. Jason and I just might have to throw a party every couple years just to go back!

We had our reception at Coast at Zilli Lake and Gardens. The site is beautiful and we loved how unique of a space it was. All of our guests raved about the food, especially the appetizers. The service was great - they really catered to our needs and even though we had a buffet they had someone come around to the head table with our own appetizers, drinks, and any other needs we might have had. Everything went smoothly and we were very happy with how the reception went.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
