Uncommon Grounds — Wisconsin Unique Venues

Hotel ballrooms and conference centers offer a host of services, food, and space that are dependable, reliable, and sometimes … a little predictable. Beige walls and thick carpet in cavernous spaces may work for some events, but for others? Maybe it’s time to color outside the lines? Take a look at these unique Wisconsin event venues and consider if the uncommon grounds will create a wonderfully unusual event.

Boasting fifteen elegant theater and ballroom spaces for as many as 2255 guests, your event takes on a picturesque ambience at the Overture Center for the Arts. Private receptions are sophisticated events when the artful cuisine of Catering A Fresco makes its entrance. The venue’s rich history and stunning architecture turns this distinctive location into a masterpiece.

Whether your group prefers a crisp, pressed uniform or leather jackets and boots, the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center, EAA or the Harley-Davidson Museum make for a priceless experience. At the War Memorial, guests enjoy one of Wisconsin’s most prized landmarks, with ample meeting space as well as breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Meanwhile, the slightly rebellious but still refined atmosphere at the Harley Museum lets you create a classic event and a truly memorable experience. With room for more than 1000 guests, this is one spot that takes you off the beaten path.

It’s a sure thing your gang is going to love their day at the races. Road America raises the stakes on fun with one of the country’s longest road racing circuits and facilities to accommodate as many as 10,000+ guests. Group adventure opportunities await, including go-carting, treasure hunts, off road adventures, and driving and racing adventures, earning this venue the checkered flag.

Sports arenas present your crew with the chance to root for the home team in a venue that’s designed for fun and games. Home to the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field lets your team experience the Packers Pro Shop, Packers Hall of Fame, the stadium tour and the 1919 Kitchen + Tap. The Lambeau Field Atrium is perfect for up to 400 guests with dramatic four-story windows and a stunning entrance that can be adapted for a red carpet arrival.

Exotic and entertaining, the Milwaukee County Zoo provides the perfect retreat for your guests. Miles from the concrete jungle of the office, this venue will delight guests with an enjoyable animal experience, aquatic and reptile center, big cat country, apes of Africa, and more. Outdoor picnic areas, rides and attractions, rope courses and zip lines make this a wild adventure for all.

No matter which place or space you choose, any of these colorful Wisconsin event venues will make for a vivid and memorable event.
