“I hosted a retreat recently at Local Motive, and it was absolutely perfect.
The space itself is beautiful and comfortable (which is weirdly hard to find) plus it's full of character and history. It really makes the space feel special.
But what truly made the experience stand out was Prasanna. He was an incredible host & throughout the entire process...kind, responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in helping make the retreat a success.
Every detail was handled with care, and Prasanna went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed smoothly. My group kept commenting on how welcoming and inspiring the space felt. It set the perfect tone for connection, creativity, and reflection.
If you’re looking for a Madison event space with great energy and an owner who truly cares, I can’t recommend Local Motive (and Prasanna!) enough.”

“Drove here from Chicago for the stage play The Kernel of Truth, who h was awesome and very insightful as well as entertaining. The play was hosted by Black men's Coalition of Dane county. The theater was historically beautiful, made you feel like you were in the early 1900s or something, roomy and comfortable seats. Drinks could be better for the price though but other than that, great theater and there's a lot to do around the theater, if you want to get a bite to eat afterwards!”

“The Tinsmith is a gorgeous, wholly unique venue that provides a stunning back drop for weddings! (Or any event I imagine) I was in a wedding there recently and felt that the photos online were amazing but the venue in person was even better! A bonus was that they had a delicious mocktail on their drink menu and as several of us are NA folks we were stoked about seeing that (still not easy to find out there although it is getting easier). The bartenders Peter/Pedro and Noah were super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with them, and getting to know Peter. The only reason I give my review 4 stars instead of 5 was that the air conditioning did not cover the whole venue. The space where the ceremony was held on an 80 plus degree day was stifling, it was sooo hot. It’s one thing for a room to heat up because of so many bodies despite AC but this was like an oven so it wasn’t an issue of just bodies. It led to concerns about the health/safety of one of the groomsmen and even a couple guests who felt faint. I don’t know if it was a one-day maintenance issue but I do hope they get it resolved so more people can enjoy the beauty of the space while not having to worry about anyone passing out due to the heat. Thankfully everyone got through it ok and we had a great time, and most of all the bride and groom had the wedding of their dreams! Thank you for having such a beautiful local venue!! Truly a gem of Madison ?”
“Recently planned and hosted an annual private music event with my friends in the auditorium space and really enjoyed the experience! The staff was extremely helpful and communicative when it came to any questions we had throughout planning and executing the event, even with a change in staffing mid-planning! Both Lisa and Brenda (previous and current event planners) were on top of everything and super responsive. The amenities provided for the event, including parking, cash bar, etc. were all great as well! Sam, one of their regular bartenders that worked the bar for the night, was awesome and Craig, the main contact for bar-related questions, was super kind and helpful too. The space was well-suited for our needs with our group and the equipment we brought in; it created an extremely memorable and special experience for my friends and me. Already working on planning next year's event with the Center's event staff! :) Super unique space, truly unforgettable!”

“the staff was helpful, and i enjoyed the candlelight concert, but i can see why someone else might think it’s not worth the money. still, it was a good experience”
“We hosted our wedding at the Bur Oak in September of 2024. The bartenders did an amazing job fueling our party and the coordination staff was a pleasure to work with. The space was perfect for our 110 person wedding and didn't require a lot of decoration as it has an inherently cool aesthetic.”
“This is a convenient location to host medium to large meetings or conferences. It has its own parking ramp for guests only, which is a really great feature in downtown Madison. they delivered on all our agreed-upon logistics and kept things efficient.”
“I attend Blackhawk Church, and we use the Upper House for our downtown location. We were formerly using the Magestic Theater. A little trivia: The space the Upper House occupies use to be a Food Court.”
“Great organization and brings accessibility to outdoor education involvement in the region! Lots of events year-round! Always something for everyone and any age to learn about their environment.”
“I’ve been seeing shows at liquid for years and it never fails to be an amazing night out, from smaller shows showcasing local djs to huge sold out shows with insane headliners, definitely stop by for a show!!!”
“Saw Patton Oswalt here once. He was good then and he was good at the Comedy Club not too long ago.
This place is sick. Good Music and service.
They say it's haunted... I think I saw an orb once. In my experience, if you see it once, you see it a lot.
I do not.”
“My son's wedding was at the Elks Club in Madison. The food was good and the staff were very prompt and kind.
The bartenders were nice and they made a good Old Fashion drink.
I really loved the wedding ceremony facing the lake.
We were very happy with everything. Including welcoming our new daughter-in-law into our family.”

“Beautiful Historic Hotel with nice rooms. Very pleasant staff and a big Thank You to Judy. She went out of her way to make sure my friends and I have everything we needed...even some tools to work on a motorcycle. Breakfast was delicious and our server was excellent. They truly deserve more than 5 stars. Can't wait to come back in the fall.”

“The best place ever my home and happy place. I love the coaches and they make gymnastics so fun! They offer gymnastics, volleyball, and other sports you can play on a volleyball court. Love this place 100% would recommend.”
“The food is so delicious, and you get to eat and drink with a lovely view of downtown! It's a great place to bring out of towners, coworkers, or friends and family.”

“One of the most active Haunting I have ever witnessed here in Madison.
I do not like being on the top floor, the building talks to me. You would think maybe its just someone in one of the bathrooms talking through the huge vents everywhere... but I ain't ever heard that language before, and let me tell you... I have heard a few.
One lives in the projector room. There are pictures on the walls of the hallway on the first floor. You can see him.
You got orbs, you got shadows, you got full body apparitions later at night when no one is around, and they like to touch me here.
I swear, they know I can see and hear them, and they like messing with me.
They seem non-malevolent so I am not too concerned.
Cool building though.”

“It's a bit dated, and the sound system wasn't designed for music. There was very little management of traffic after the event.
But the venue will be a part of history because our 1st female president appeared there in front of a packed audience of super excited citizens. While thousands waited in the rain to get in.”

“The focus of this review is service. Excellent staff.
I left my work backpack in the room a d checked out... After about 2hrs, I realized the backpack was still in the room.
I called the hotel, they located the laptop and I asked them to keep it at the front desk as I would get it the next day. They agreed
I arrived the next day to find my backpack on the desk, not on the floor or in some corner. There was a printed notice to the staff that I would be getting it. Simply awesome. I got it back and everything was in place.
The rooms and overall amenities in this hotel was very good. There is a Starbucks coffee in the lobby.
I would definitely stay there again.”

“Quick in-and-out one-night stay here. No perks for Diamond members. Room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed, although the AC unit was terribly loud (had to turn it off to sleep). Gym was functional. Tiny pool, but the hot tub was nice. Late dinner in the hotel restaurant was surprisingly decent.”

“We stayed at the Staybridge and our suite came with a full kitchen, a couch, and a king bed in a separate bedroom. The setup was convenient overall, though the bedroom doors didn’t quite close properly, which was awkward, and the bathroom was located inside the bedroom—making it less practical in the morning if someone needed to get in without disturbing the person sleeping. It was our first time staying at this type of hotel, as we usually stay at Holiday Inn Express, but we decided to try this one since it’s also part of the IHG group. The breakfast was much more varied than what we’re used to at Holiday Inn, which was a highlight. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel, especially if you’re planning a longer stay, thanks to the kitchen and the breakfast variety.”

“We had our Wedding at Barnwood Events and have nothing but good things to say about the venue and the staff! Everyone was so nice to work with and super helpful. We had Ellie as our day of event coordinator and she was the best. She helped run the show so that we did not have to worry about any of the details. The bartenders were great and quick with service. They also make excellent old fashioneds, we highly recommend! The owners, Julie and Dave, are so nice and very involved with the whole process from the planning to the execution and clean up. We highly recommend having your next event or wedding at Barnwood Events! Special thanks to the Wild Collective by Alaxandra for the great photos!”
