I don't know about your price range but you might want to look into Cuvee in the Third Ward or The Gallery at the Iron Horse Hotel! I was looking for something similar :) Good luck!
i'm sure you've already found a spot but I found this brand new place while searching for venues. It's called the Pritzlaff Building and it's a very "raw" and unique space:

@MaryBethM: OMG I've passed that place a ton of times thinking it would be a cool place to have an event, but never thought they actually did events! Too bad I'm getting married in a month and can't book that place. It looks awesome!
I was definitely going to suggest Cuvee, which I see someone else already did! You could also go a little further out of Milwaukee and look at Kohler. They have a beautiful barn for weddings.
I don't know about your budget, but we were looking at the loft above Stack'd Burger Bar on Water. It's really similar to Cuvee, but the prices are WAY more reasonable. Plus, the owner is really cool and willing to work with the couple on the menu. He told me that he loves to sit down with the couple and just figure out what kind of food you guys like, and create something that way. Only downside, is you have to rent tables and chairs.
Plus Stack'd is delicious. :)
Just curious what the venue name is for the loft above Stack'd? I am just starting my search and it sounds great!
The loft above Stack'd is actually owned and rented through Stack'd. The manager is awesome... Sorry, I didn't realize that I had a post followup!
If you haven't found anything yet, I would also very much recommend the barn at Old World Wisconsin. Very, very rustic-y barn, but with lots of potential to class it up.
Hey all!
I just booked my reception at the Turner Hall Ballroom.
I too wanted something rustic, vintage, unique.
I adored this place and couldn't be happier. It is a restored space now used mainly for concerts but it's amazing. Tall celings, original decor and molding AND they are so flexible and weill basically let you do whatever you want.
I am so excited
PS- I also checked out the Pritzlaff building. Totally raw- the floors are cement like a garage. Had some potential but I found the woman a bit harsh and rigid when it came to options. Lisa at Turner was amazing!
Turner Hall is awesome. There's lots of really neat rustic style places, but they're not in the heart of Milwaukee, or too far. That's what I wanted for my wedding too! An outdoor reception (tented of course) could be a good choice?
Southshore Pavilion is PERFECT (says this bride who is getting married there next spring!). How can you beat a brick building with AMAZING arched windows that look right out onto Lake Michigan? The price is incredibly afforadable, too. And from the couple of conversations I've had with the park staff thusfar, they're so accommodating and easy to work with. I wanted that mix of rustic/industrial, too, and I'll have that at South Shore!
@rachelb44: yeah I actually wish I kenw about South Shore before I booked my venue. I am thrilled with Turner Hall, but I didn't even know to look at the SSP. Your wedding will be gorgeous I'm sure!
As a consolation we're having a pre-wedding BBQ at one of the picnic areas. :) Also- our guest list will be right on the edge on their limit so that makes me feel better.
@rachelb44: I've been to a wedding at the Southshore Pavilion and it was gorgeous!
I've been looking for a similar location in the Milwaukee area as well. I have checked out many of the places you all have mentioned. I tried contacting Stack'd several times but no one has gotten back to me. I heard that they might not be renting next year, does anyone know?
Thanks!
@hanna.marie.52: Hey! just wanted to let you know that I got in touch with them and they said they are no longer renting out the space. Good luck finding a place. Bummer cause I thought it would be perfect too :(

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I've been looking everywhere for a unique reception venue in the Milwaukee area. I plan on doing a rustic, fall themed wedding & I would hate to get married in a traditional, hotel banquet hall. Initially we've been planning to have our reception at Lakefront Brewery but it sounds like it's already booked. So now I'm trying to find something else interesting in the Milwaukee area. I already know the ceremony will be here so the reception location can't be too far from Milwaukee county.
I like the ideas of:
brick, loft, warehouse, rustic, barn, historic...
I've been searching for places in the third ward since all the buildings there fall under these categories but I'm not sure of any place that's big enough to hold about 200 people.
Does anyone know of a place that fits this description?
