yay memorial union! love it.
My cousin was planning on getting married there, but another wedding got the terrace for the ceremony and they will be having their reception there. I gues the procedure for getting the terrace is pretty hard. you have to apply the exact day of your wedding one year or 6 months out otherwise it will be booked. And then if there are more couples than room allows there is a lottery drawing, but someone has to be present at the drawing. I think this is how it went, it sounded pretty intense.
it is a verrrry popular place to get married/have receptions in Madison - particularly if either one or both the groom and bride went to UW.
It is a process to have your wedding at the Memorial Union, especially during the academic year. My fiancee and I tried - he went to the Union 18 months in advance, entered a lottery, and we did not get chosen. It's working out just fine though - our reception is still downtown, and we'll head to the Terrace in between the ceremony and reception for ice cream, beer, and pictures :) Can't wait!
Memorial Union is an amazing place. What a great place for a wedding/reception. Beautiful!
@amariem and denver - thanks!
@madtownbride - so jealous! I wish I could get pictures at the terrace, and the Capitol... and some of the campus spots like Bascom, Library Mall, etc. Sigh.
For all of those who can appreciate - here's one of our engagement photos on Bascom Hill! Can't wait for the Terrace ones in my gown!!
ooo, it came out blurry ... the original is not so blurry! Well, you get the idea....
Aww that is beautiful. Sigh. It's so crazy to feel nostalgic about a campus and a city!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Totally wish we were still living in Madison, so we could get some photographs on the terrace! Just a board to share with any UW brides out there. :)
