Absolutely Amazing! Dream Come True
Absolutely Loved this Venue for our Wedding reception. Katryna, the new event coordinator, was amazing to work with! Always responded very quickly to any questions that I had. She went above and beyond to make our Dream event come true. She was very flexible and easy to talk to and work with. During the reception she was there to help with anything and everything that needed to be done! Such as sneaking me into a private bathroom to get situated and my dress bustled before the Grand March! The space is beautiful and can be equipped with hanging lights, and up lighting to illuminate the Hall. The bartenders were all very kind and attentive and even helped clean up after dinner as well. We also rented out the neighboring Wisconsin Auto Museum for our Cocktail Hour which our guests loved. I couldn’t imagine our Wedding at any other Venue! Everyone we worked with helped our Dream Wedding come true!

The Schauer Arts Center made our wedding dreams come true. From helping us set the stage to look like something out of a broadway show to creating a romantic reception space - they did it all. Getting married in a theater was dreamy and we received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and the auto museum. We have been married for almost a year now and we constantly look back at our wedding photos in awe of what they helped us create. The Schauer Center is a mostly women-run team and being able to work with them so closely helped ease any stress and nerves. They also let us buy a painting early from the gallery to remember the day! They also handled my mother (who deemed herself the creative director) with such patience and ease, I feel like I could learn some lessons from them. I am so grateful for this team and this venue. It was the best night yet. -

Amy was a complete joy to work with. She made everything run so smoothly! I had a ton of questions and she made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with! Very responsive with emails, and even day of when I had a question I was able to call her cell phone direct and got things worked out! I couldn't recommend Amy and the Schauer Arts Center enough! Also very affordable!!! -

The event coordinator, Amy, was fabulous to work with. She even took time to answer questions for me on her day off. -

User1844657 Sent on 10/04/2014Our wedding went so smoothly! Brandon, the event director, did an amazing job. He was extremely professional, courteous, and really cared about making sure everything was perfect for our day. He not only made sure that we were doing great during the reception, but asked our families if he could do anything for them as well. My dad even talked about how great he was during our father daughter dance!!
The space is incredible and our guests loved the history behind the building. The art gallery was used as the cocktail space, and looked gorgeous when we arrived. Pike's Peak is a huge room that Brandon helped make look amazing by hanging our paper lanterns throughout. You might be thrown off by the orange and green walls, but don't be! Your guests won't notice and you won't even think about it on your wedding day!
Overall we highly recommend this venue! -
User1840257 Sent on 10/01/2014So happy I decided to use the Schauer Center for my reception! I couldn't be happier! The place has great character and style with plenty of space for any amount of guests. We had about 150 guests and there was plenty of room for people to walk between tables and not feel cramped. The price was very reasonable compared to other places we looked and the fact that the bar is all set up through the Schauer Center helped save money compared to most places we made budgets for while deciding. They are able to get pretty much any beer, wine, or alcohol you want and assisted in keeping within our budget. The additional option of renting the Auto Museum is great to give the guests something to enjoy during down time while the bridal party did photos. The director of event services, Brandon Herr, was fabulous! We started booking and getting things organized with the previous coordinator, and then Brandon was hired midway through our planning. This made me a bit nervous at first, but he was seriously the best thing about the Schauer Center. He kept everything organized and had great rapport with the other vendors. I had concerns about my dessert table when the catering company offered very little assistance and he made sure to take care of it with the catering staff. He seriously was everywhere at once! I really don't know how he keeps it all organized while being of such great assistance to everyone. My bridal party and my parents all commented on how he would check in with them to make sure they didn't need anything during the night. He worked with us to make our specialty cocktail perfect and everything went off without a hitch. He responded to emails in a reasonable amount of time and his attention to ALL details as the date approached was remarkable. So happy we chose the Schauer Arts Center for our wedding and will continue to recommend it to everyone! -
User1829403 Sent on 09/25/2014We recently rented the Schauer Center for both our cocktail hour and reception. We also rented the adjoining Wisconsin Auto Museum for our guests to visit during the cocktail hour. With renting the Schauer Center, we were able to have both the Pike Peak's room and the art gallery for one flat price.
Brandon, the new event coordinate, was AMAZING! During the planning stages he worked with us to make sure that everything would be exactly like we wanted on the day of the wedding. The day before/day of the wedding he helped with getting all of the decorating done correctly, and made it so that we didn't have anything extra to worry about during the day of the wedding. During the reception he made sure that everything went smoothly, working with all of our other vendors, and he made sure that whenever we wanted something, it was taken care of immediately. We cannot thank Brandon enough for all that he did!
We loved the character that this venue had. It wasn't just another banquet hall, and we think that the venue selection went a long way towards making our wedding a huge success. -
User1882960 Sent on 10/23/2014The Schauer Center is a wonderful place to have a wedding reception. The staff is very friendly and helpful which made it less stressfull for planning the wedding reception. We had lots of help from Brandon decorating and he made sure everything ran smoothly. Our guests liked having the art gallery area to visit aside from being in the Pikes Peak room where the music was louder. The entire experience was fantastic and really made us happy!
