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!

The Hilton City Center and their Wedding Events Manager Kristine are exceptional!! Everything ran smoothly and our day was perfect. The ballroom was beautiful before renovations and now it's even more stunning. Our guests are still talking about the exceptional food and excellent service. We had such a beautiful day! Thank you!

We would absolutely recommend Saint Kate as a venue for your wedding day!! We loved the venue and people we worked with right from the start. We really loved the tasting experience, as we felt Saint Kate gave us the best experience to try everything they have to offer (which is a lot!)... we still have family and friends, a year later, who comment on how good the apps, dinner & drinks were! The ballroom was absolutely gorgeous the night of our reception- everything was where we planned & set up beautifully. We had a good amount of guests come from out of town, so having it at a hotel venue was perfect and convenient for our guests. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't hesitate to celebrate our big day again at Saint Kate! Thanks for all the good memories. Photo credit: Betcher Photo

I’ve worked multiple weddings at Turner Hall Ballroom, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this stunning historic landmark with its soaring ceilings, exposed brick, ornate details, and timeless charm that makes every bridal look absolutely shine. Highly recommend!

When you change your venue with 2 months before the date (due to Covid). You get a little weary, but Heather did an amazing job to put us at ease. The staff bent over backwards to ensure our 10.10.2020 wedding was a dream come true. Heather was our day of coordinator to ensure a seamless day. She contacted our venders for timing of arrival and made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Even when we threw a curve ball and had the ceremony and reception in the same location and didn't want any of the tables set up. (this allowed our decorator to lay the white dancefloor for the ceremony and made it look like 2 separate rooms), there response was "well there is a first for everything, lets do it!" the food was out of this world, we a steak option and a chicken stuffed with herb cream cheese. we were able to customize our dishes to be exactly what we wanted. The price was perfect for the budge and the room blocks were very helpful. we HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone who is looking -- you truly can transform the room to your dream wedding!

Our wedding at The Pfister Hotel was nothing short of a dream come true, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the service and responsiveness were absolutely impeccable, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration. The absolute MVP of our entire planning process was our Event Manager, Mickey Skrede. Seriously, Mickey is a magician! His expertise, calm demeanor, and incredible attention to detail made every decision easy and enjoyable. We would trust him to plan any event, ever, for the rest of time. He anticipated our needs, answered every question before we even asked, and seamlessly orchestrated our entire weekend. Our morning started with pure pampering at The Pfister's Salon and Spa. They did the most amazing job with my bridal makeup and that of my entire bridal party. We all looked absolutely stunning! The mimosas were flowing, and they had us all ready and looking fabulous in a timely fashion. I truly felt like a princess! The entire staff at The Pfister has it down to a science. The setup and breakdown of everything – from the cocktail hour and ceremony to the reception and even the rehearsal dinner – occurred with such incredible fluidity, the entire day felt seamless. Every staff member was professional, incredibly kind, and attentive. The bartenders, in particular, are hands down some of Milwaukee's best, keeping the celebration lively and our guests happy. The venue itself is breathtaking which made the recently renovated space more elegant as the backdrop to our wedding. And then there's the catering – prepare to be amazed! It is genuinely rare for an event with over 120 guests to serve 5-star food, but The Pfister achieved it effortlessly. The filet was, without a doubt, the best I have ever had in my life. Every dish was perfectly cooked, plated so beautifully it looked like a Michelin-star meal, and served in a timely, efficient manner. Both the dinner service and the hors d'oeuvre service were outstanding. We cannot say enough nice things about the catering staff – they were phenomenal. And the dessert table was so beautiful, our guests are still raving about it! To top it all off, the late-night pizzas from their sister hotel, The Saint Kate, were a huge hit, and not a single slice was left. The Pfister Hotel provided a truly magnificent experience. If you're looking for a venue that delivers unparalleled service, exquisite food, and a truly magical atmosphere, look no further.

We had the most amazing fall inspired wedding. The venue and outdoor areas were prefect and the wood pillars and sting lights were breathtaking. Mary Beth and Beatrice, were amazing. They answered every question and were so helpful the entire night.

Katie Shorts was there absolute best! The venue was beautiful & food was delicious.

We had an amazing experience having our wedding at the WMC! From great service to amazing views, this was the perfect facility for us. In addition, we loved supporting an organization that does so much for our community and our Veterans.

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!
