Wedding Locations in Downtown Milwaukee

These five wedding locations, all in downtown Milwaukee, offer atmospheres ranging from charming to elegant for your ceremony or reception. Rather than using a suburban banquet hall in between strip malls and fast food restaurants for your wedding, enjoy Milwaukee’s beautiful architecture, proximity to Lake Michigan, and sophisticated yet relaxed downtown vibe.

These five fine establishments, four hotels and one public memorial space, offer a range of services appropriate for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The hotels, of course, also provide a convenient, attractive place for overnight guests.

1. The Pfister Hotel
424 East Wisconsin Avenue
Milwaukee, WI 53202

Considered by some to be Milwaukee’s finest hotel, the Pfister offers an elaborate Victorian setting. As a wedding venue for over 100 years, the posh Pfister is known for its impeccable, detailed-oriented service. With two wedding consultants on staff to plan rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, and receptions, this hotel provides a comprehensive and arguably unparalleled venue for your wedding.

The Pfister has three main rooms which can be selected depending on the size of your event. The Grand Ballroom can hold up to 600 guests, the Imperial Ballroom can accommodate up to 300 guests, and the warm Café Rouge is ideal for smaller affairs. The Pfister’s rooms are more than comfortable, and wedding guests do receive a discount on the princely accommodations.

In addition to its guest rooms and ballroom spaces, the Pfister is reputed for its food, as it the home of the fabulous Celia restaurant. Accordingly, the chefs can prepare a traditional menu or something more striking and unique for your wedding. White-gloved butlers are even available to pass hors d’oeuvres. An extensive beverage service is offered, featuring fine wines, champagnes, and sparkling wines.
