“The Ivy House was the perfect venue for our dream wedding! Great getting ready space, ample parking, beautiful ceremony space, professional staff, great drinks, fabulous DJ and sound system, and the list goes on. We got so many compliments from our guests on the space and we loved that it didn’t need much decorating to make it the warm and cozy vibe we were after. They were super flexible with allowing us to drop things off earlier in the week and pick stuff back up after the wedding which was much appreciated. Bonus shoutout to the incredible DJ, Julian from airwaves, who really brought the party and matched our energy so well for the whole night. I want to get married again so we can hang out at the Ivy House all day again!”
“We had our wedding at Story Hill FireHouse and it was incredible. The venue was the perfect size for our 102 person event. Although we did not have a wedding planner, the owner Janelle made sure everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. We met with Janelle a handful of times prior to the big day and from day 1 she was on top of her game - she was so easy to work with, very helpful, super friendly, and just an overall pleasure to be around. She connected us with other vendors that knew the venue and were also easy to work with and provided the most outstanding details for our big day.
The venue was absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained. It was the perfect location and style that we wanted for our wedding day. We would highly recommend any type of event at the Story Hill FireHouse.”
“First of all I want to give all of the staff a very big thank you for what y’all did Saturday night for the dent-bey family we really appreciate all you guys ! Not only that my Cartier glasses was found by the owner he was honest and not only honest but respectful and let me knew he found them ! Just wanna say thank you all in keep going god bless ❤️”
“Such a unique and beautiful wine spot. There is no bad wine offered there and the service is incredible. Tony and Rachel do an outstanding job making it the best experience every time. This place would be great for a book club/ bridal shower/ or any fun event. But also is the best for a lowkey night sipping wines with friends.”
“Love the back hall venue. It's so friggin adorable. There is so much to look at. Have to come back for the actual antique portion in the front of the space now.”
“The Pabst is a beautiful theater. The seating is tight. As of 3/26, they offer pre- paid parking in the parking structure adjacent to the Milwaukee Athletic Club. I would suggest that people park somewhere else. We found it a little difficult to get the door to open to enter, then impossible to re-enter after the show, despite punching in the numeric code provided on the Pabst website. Many patrons were in the same position. We had to run in when other cars drove out. It would also be easy to miss the fact that you are going to need a code to get back into the structure. It is mentioned on the Pabst website, but not when you purchase the pass nor on the pass.”
“Its a great spacious event space, parking lot and yard... I had my neice baby shower there and it wen great with no problems.... Its well worth the price... I recommend this place to everyone that is looking for a great spacious place to have events at”

“My wife and I absolutely loved having our wedding at The Pritzlaff and experienced the epitome of hospitality from all the staff, particularly Ali. The 333 venue is elegant, spacious, hosts a grand bar, includes a loft which we used for ceremony musicians, and a vault that we used for our audio guestbook. The space is grand, inviting, and open. Its location by downtown and the Historic Third Ward is perfect for guests, as well. Ali and Olivia were fantastic to work with every single step of the way and answered all questions in a timely manner with care and intentionality. Our wedding was gorgeous and well-organized in large part due to Ali and the clear communication we had with her throughout the planning process and actual day. We highly recommend The Pritzlaff for your wedding day! You should also plan to take photos on the roof!”
“I had the honor of photographing a wedding reception at the River Valley Historic Venue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and it was beautiful! The space was charming and while cocktail hour was happening upstairs, the reception space was being transformed downstairs. I highly recommend considering River Valley Historic Venue for your wedding!!”
“Enjoyed revisiting agsin when hosting the annual JR Pups n Stuff MADACC Mother's Day fundrsiser event. Dog boutique items, candles, fresh made pet treats and cookies, Paw print creations and a beautiful background for a free photo session. The Mimosas 🍹 are the best...yum!”
“I went to this venue to attend a wedding on the top floor. The view is excellent, and the place is pleasant, but there isn't enough parking—nor are there enough restrooms—to accommodate an event of the size I attended.”

“The place to go for your must see events! The Staff are professional keeping a clean and secure environment. Bartenders make the best drinks. Caught Mama Tried Flat Out Friday and TSO there and look forward to many other events.”
“We had our wedding there, and we couldn't have been happier. The price of a park building but the beauty of something much more expensive and the location by the lake - you can't beat it. You need to book SUPER far in advance though to get your event here. After I figured out I wanted our wedding to be here, I literally just accepted the first date they had open and it was more than a year and a half away. This place is a truly unique and lovely venue for a great price, it is hard to compete with it for a wedding or other special event for that size and price. Guests should be made aware ahead of time that parking WILL be challenging. It can be stressful if it is a surprise for them. There isn’t a parking lot, and many people live in this area and visit the park, so you’re parking amongst locals.
Separately, we go to the beer garden often to hang out and eat, and it is wonderful. I love that we can bring kiddos and dogs!”
“Yea…so… I technically broke into this place to take some selfies. I had no idea this was a Shriner lodge… or that Shriners are high order Free Masons… so I pretty much accidentally broke into a meeting of a high level secret society for a photo op - at least the sheriff thought my cluelessness was funny.”
“We attended a paint and sip with instructor Jessica. We had a great time. Jessica was friendly, patient and comfortable up in front of the group. The chicken and beef taco plates from Red Taco were included in the package and they were delicious.”
“Nice walking area, quick and easy with a fishing dock. When you get to the lighthouse, you can turn around and go back the same way and circle in the peninsula. We went towards the parking lot thinking there would be some pathway but there isn’t really. Would be nicer to walk back into the water area where there is nature”
“Very beautiful space, very sophisticated and multi purposed space you can go use the 1-4 levels and has a rooftop and bars and stages and brick walls … so sexy … bring card or tap pay NO CAsH! Great view”
“First visit here and most enjoyable.
Director Holly was pleasant and welcoming answering my questions. Most impressive community sailing center is been there over 50 years. Well organized and run. This is the place to learn how to sail, at very reasonable pricing. If you go there, tell them that Lake Michigan Sailing Club sent you.”

“We held our granddaughter's bridal shower here today. It was spectacular. The building was clean and spacious. The only problem we had was where to put the full garbage bags. We ended up putting them outside in the waste receptacles but I'm worried about Racoons, etc getting into them overnight. There should be a dumpster somewhere easily accessible to the building. We will rent from here again.”
“Gather at Deer District: The Dream Venue with the Dream Team (Mikayla & Mali)
The space itself is stunning—modern, flexible, and perfectly situated—but what truly sets this venue apart is the extraordinary team, Mikayla and Mali, who turned our vision into flawless reality.
Our journey began with Mikayla, who is an absolute master of logistics and understanding client needs. She was a true partner in the process of securing the space, patiently walking us through every option, making sure the venue configuration perfectly matched our guest count and aesthetic goals. Mikayla’s clarity and professional demeanor gave us immense confidence from day one that we had found the perfect canvas for our celebration.
As the wedding approached, Mali stepped in and became our day-of execution wizard. Her talent for planning and organization is unparalleled. Mali ensured that every detail, from vendor load-in schedules to the final timeline for the ceremony and reception, was flawlessly managed. On the wedding day, she was the calm, competent force behind the scenes, allowing us to relax completely and simply enjoy every moment. Mali's communication and attentiveness throughout the planning phase made us feel prioritized and supported.
The synergy between Mikayla and Mali created a seamless experience. They provided not just a venue, but a wonderful partnership that allowed us to feel like guests at our own wedding. If you want a breathtaking space and a team dedicated to understanding your vision and executing it perfectly, you must choose Gather at Deer District.

“Very nice facility to watch a hockey game.. A lot of stairs leading down to the rink if you have ambulatory issues. (There may be an elevator). Downtown parking is the only issue, otherwise a great venue.”
“Veronica and the day of assistant were kind and great to work with when hosting my bridal shower in their 2nd floor event space. They were accommodating with set-up time and were easy to communicate with. Would recommend the Grace Center for anyone wanting to host an event here!”
“BEST PLACE TO CELEBRATE!!!! Clay and his team made this the best transition for this mom....My daughter had an AMAZING wedding and reception; the space, the view, the atmosphere!!! If you are in the search for a special place to celebrate, 6th Floor is definitely it!!”
“We had our wedding here in December 2025. We are so happy that we chose this venue! Christine was wonderful to work with - her effective communication and organization made the planning process easy. The professionalism and quality of service was unmatched - our guests raved about how beautiful our event was. I happily recommend this venue and Bartolotta to anyone looking for an event venue.”
“I did a flea market here to to sell home-improvement her to do Free Estimate. The flea market was good it was a nice size people are nice. I don’t know much about the Zoofari conference center but I’m sure it’s fine if you look at a book a function or a private event etc.”

“I’ve had over 300 classes with Daync Academy in Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia and other variations. Josh, Amber and company keep it lively and interesting for all levels of dance from beginner to advanced social dancers and you’re guaranteed a great workout in a chill, no judgement studio.”
“Such a special hidden gem with an inviting atmosphere. The gardens express strong attention to detail, using teal accents and salvaged architectural materials as well as a heavy emphasis on vibrant winter interest, making the gardens especially beautiful in the coldest months of the year.”
“As a photographer I have been to over 100 different venues and St James is at the very top of my favorites list. The uniqueness, the beauty, the timelessness, but most importantly the staff !!!! They are professional, efficient, kind, and the most amazing room flippers.
They also ensure I get my shots I need & ensure me and my team are taken care of!
St James is home 🤍”
