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.

I started my journey of looking for a venue in 2016. I found the M.A.C here on Wedding Wire. Initially, I was working with an employee who is now no longer working there and was having a difficult time with communication and lack of responsiveness. I worried after I made my deposit that I'd made a huge mistake. Gretchen took over the role of that individual and from that moment on my life and planning was all the better. Thank goodness she started early on and at the perfect time before any harm could be done. Gretchen was a God- send and overall day saver! She was professional and flexible. My guest list kept growing and growing and Gretchen was able to creatively make things happen and calm my fears. The day of my wedding July 2018 came with many mishaps that were not the fault of M.A.C. or related to venue but put us way behind schedule but Gretchen held it together. My wedding coordinator dropped the ball the day of and thankfully Gretchen was there to pick up the pieces. She remained cool, calm, and collected when dealing with my large wedding party and 300 guests. My guests, a year later, are still raving about the amazing time they had during our rooftop cocktail hour, the great food, and the gorgeous reception and venue. I highly recommend the M.A.C along with Gretchen and her awesome team!

My wife and I previously got married at the Marcus Performing Arts Center in late July. Upon touring the venue, we knew that it was the only choice for our special day. There are many advantages to this venue including easy ADA accessibility for guests, close proximity to the Milwaukee River for Bridal Party photos, and separate hosting spaces for the various parts of the day. Our Ceremony took place in the Fitch Gardens and was all we could have asked for. The space fit our 150 guests comfortably yet still felt very intimate which was important to us. The reception space (Bradley Pavilion) is gorgeous! It is elegant and timeless while providing a stunning view of the cityscape and river. This made for a perfect backdrop to our Head Table which we loved seeing in our photos/videos. Since our initial meeting with the venue's event planner, Marie, we were impressed with the professionalism and flexibility provided. The venue was very accommodating regarding decor, table layout, uplighting color choice, etc. Most importantly, the meal! If you have many guests with food allergies, this venue is for you. They take this very seriously and ensure that all guests have a wonderful and memorable meal. Since our wedding, we have heard nothing but rave reviews regarding the food. Hors d'oeuvres, entrees, late night food- people loved it all. My wife and I were especially impressed with the manner in which the servers present the food to the tables- it is very professional. If you are considering this venue, we highly recommend that you reach out to Marie to learn more. You will not be disappointed in the least- she truly goes above and beyond to make you feel important and valued. We are so grateful to the MPAC staff for making our wedding day dreams a reality. Highly recommend to future couples!

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!

We loved having our wedding at the Pritzlaff! With its stunning architecture, cream city brick, and unique features, it had our guests raving about how cool the space was. The outdoor courtyard was the perfect backdrop four our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the location could not have been better. We were so thrilled with how we could make the space our own. Shout out to Ali, Jessica, and Kristi, who made the wedding planning process so easy and was able to help us with any questions we had, and also Kyle, who ensured everything ran smoothly on the day!!! They were so amazing to work with!

We had an incredible experience with this wedding venue and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The location is perfect for out-of-town guests and the top floor and balcony have amazing views of downtown and the lake that make for beautiful photos. The space worked perfectly for our reception with just shy of 200 guests; the dance floor was a huge hit and stayed packed all night. While the venue requires catering through Saz's, they exceeded our expectations in every way and accommodated our guests' dietary restrictions. I recommend the Petite Filet (cooked perfectly!) with rosemary mashed potatoes. This review would not be complete without mentioning our event planner. She helped coordinate everything with the vendors and explained everything so that the wedding day would be stress-free. The staff was professional, organized, and attentive throughout the night. We received so many compliments from guests about the views, the food, and the overall vibe. If you’re looking for a venue with a great location, views, and a team that truly knows how to run an event, we highly recommend Jan Serr Studio.

I’ve worked multiple weddings at St. James 1868, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this stunning 150-year-old historic church venue with its breathtaking stained glass windows, intricate hand-carved details, European-inspired elegance, and magical ambiance that makes every bridal look absolutely shine. Highly recommend!

Overall our experience with The Factory on Barclay was wonderful. There was a lot of turnover in management throughout our planning process which did lead to a lot of duplicate emails, some of which were never responded to. That said, once we started communicating directly with the owner, Mei-Lyn Nelson things improved significantly. She was quick to respond via text and was incredibly accommodating. On wedding day her entire staff was phenomenal in helping things run smoothly with our day of coordinator and their venue day of coordinator. We are incredibly pleased with our overall experience here especially on wedding day and wouldn’t have changed a thing! LOVED the getting ready spaces and the lighting in the morning for photos on what would become our dance floor was phenomenal. We also really loved that our dinner space was separate from the dance floor. It allowed guests to take a break as needed throughout the night without taking away from our always packed dance floor or having to go outside! Would recommend having your reception here!

My fiancé and I searched high and low for a wedding venue that checked majority of the boxes. We found that so many venues in the area just didn't fit our vision until we fell upon this gem. We booked this venue by just looking at the renderings and anxiously awaited for the final reveal and I can say that it was better than we even imagined. The venue is a perfect blend of history with modern touches. It still gives the romantic feel while also being a larger venue. There were so many options- from the large outdoor area that felt tucked away from the craziness of downtown milwaukee, an beautiful indoor ceremony area with a large balcony that overlooked the entire venue. Multiple bathrooms, an elevator, on-site kitchen, bridal suite, large covered patio, parking and just uniquely different from any venue I had visited in my search. My guests have raved about how great it was. I wish I had my photos back to post but unfortunately am still waiting so I will update when I am able. Lastly, big shoutout to Tyler who guided us in the beginning process, the absolutely amazing bar staff and Mallory who was our day of coordinator. I hope anyone that chooses two birds event group gets a chance to work with her as she is the best. She was so calm, a great hype person, so extremely flexible and just made me feel entirely at ease on the big day which is priceless in my opinion. Thank you again everyone for making my wedding dreams a reality- and for anyone who is currently searching for a venue in the milwaukee area- you will not be disappointed in the slightest!
