Merry & Bright – Wisconsin Holiday Party Planning Guide

Wisconsin Event Venues, Food, and Entertainment for Corporate Holiday Season

You’ve been tasked to plan the corporate holiday gathering. If you’re trying to decide whether that’s a holiday miracle or a lump of coal in your stocking, we can help with some direction that will clearly help you see this as a gift.       

Celebrate Glad Tidings of Comfort & Joy in Style   

Wisconsin Event Venues

What’s on your wish list? Begin by considering what kind of team you have. Are they a hard-working crew who like to kick up their heels and party? Or would they appreciate an atmosphere that is subdued and stylish? From cozy to cavernous, simple to sophisticated, there is a venue that’s perfect for your bunch. Search our Wisconsin Holiday Party Venues Guide for a complete list of options in your area or consider one of our favorites.

What better way to treat your guests than with a site that reminds them of the holidays back home? The accommodating staff at Badger Farms welcomes guests to a homey atmosphere with two unique venues. The Barn is a newly renovated 1920s space tucked away in the countryside, while the Shop is an enclosed pavilion connected to the Barn. Both feature rustic décor, tall ceilings, large windows, chandeliers, and plenty of space for eating and mingling.

Looking for something a little out of the ordinary? There is an abundance of unique and unusual places for your crew to congregate. Why not go for a spin at Elkhart Lake’s Road America, featuring group Adventure Programs ranging from Karting to Geocaching to Off Road, Driving, and Racing Adventures? For a loftier atmosphere, you might want to consider the EAA Aviation Center with its air shows, flight experiences, airplane exhibits, and more. Then again, if your group would like to groove to something hot, hot, hot, take a chance on Potawatomi Hotel & Casino with award-winning food, hotel, and of course, off-track betting, poker, slots, table games, and bingo.

There’s no shortage of elegant, chic venues for the crowd that loves to dress up and spend a stylish night in the town. Explore the historic Milwaukee County War Memorial Center with its beautifully appointed spaces and sophisticated banquet hall for up to 260 guests. Boasting views of Lake Monona, the downtown Madison skyline, and the State Capitol dome, the Monona Terrace Convention Center is also an exquisite space to host a large event.

Even the most casual gathering can be a festive delight when you combine a welcoming venue, glittering décor, and warm, satisfying food. La Crosse Center is ideal with its convention hall, arena and ballroom featuring spectacular views of the Mississippi River. The Fluno Center at the University of Wisconsin Madison invites guests to enjoy one of their many different spaces, including a Skyview Banquet Room, Executive Dining Room, Atrium, or Auditorium.
