Each one offers something special that truly brings out the best of the season and enhances your event.

Not only is Celebration on Wells Catering gorgeous in the summertime, but when blanketed in wintertime snow, this picturesque setting can be just as breathtaking. Located just a few blocks from downtown Lake Geneva, the newly renovated interior is warm and inviting, with fireplace, dance floor, and vaulted ceilings. Mouthwatering culinary creations and hot drinks welcome guests in the most festive way possible.

Are you in search of a wide open space with lots of room for discovery and interaction? Then it might be wise to explore the EEA Aviation Center. Your guests will have the most wonderful time in the world-class facilities that encompasses more than 1600 acres. Best of all, guests will be surrounded by spectacular displays of more than 100 full-size aircraft, art, photo galleries, and interactive exhibits.

Historical venues often offer grand architecture, spectacular interiors, and a sophisticated atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. Such is the case at Milwaukee County War Memorial Center.  With dazzling views of Lake Michigan, a moving reflecting pool, expansive spaces, and a stunning mosaic mural, this is a venue ideal for hosting a legendary event.

Combine your reception with a live theatrical performance at one of the magnificent spaces available at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Located on Milwaukee’s popular Riverwalk, this elegant venue will comfortably accommodate as many as 2300 guests. Home to Broadway shows, the Florentine Opera Company, the Milwaukee Ballet, and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Marcus Center will prove to be just the ticket for your event.

Expect to see a holiday card come to life at Badger Farms, LLC. The beautifully renovated 1920’s barn is tucked away in the serene countryside joust outside of Madison. With vaulted ceilings, large windows and chandeliers, the scenic views of the snow-covered farm makes for a cozy winter wonderland.
