Ivy House

use team. Not only was it an absolutely gorgeous and intimate setting, but it also included the most accommodating group of professionals to make our day run so smoothly. We felt immediately comfortable on a day that can often be stressful, and our guests couldn't compliment us enough on the space and employees. We chose a more unique ceremony setup (in the round) and it was magical to see it come to life and have our team believe in the vision. Love you, Ivy House and Fernweh Patio! 🤍✨🌿

s. From the moment we booked to the moment we were getting married, the staff did everything right. Every detail was taken care of. Every amenity that was promised was flawlessly executed. Melanie was our coordinator and she was an absolute delight to work with. Little issues popped up day of, and Melanie took care of everything with a sense of calm and common sense. We feel like we received every penny of value we paid for the location on our special day. My wife and I cannot recommend Ivy House enough.

d patient throughout the entire process. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, service was spectacular and the bridal suite added the perfect touch for an incredibly memorable day for our daughter. The preferred vendor list was "spot on" - from Flowers for Dreams, to the string quartet (Fretless Music), live band (Blue Water Kings), caterer (Chef Jack's) and food truck (Lola's Empanadas) and Simma's Bakery-everything was amazing. The only thing I wish is that we could do it all over again....in slow motion! We are incredibly grateful for all that the Ivy House and Journey Team did for us to make our daughter's dreams come true!!!! Thank you!!!

ind, and so on top of everything. Olivia was a dream to work with from start to finish. The space was stunning, the service was flawless, and the whole night felt like a dream. We’re so grateful for the care and attention to detail they put into making our big day so special. Truly the best night ever!

nd the bridal suite on-site really made the logistics of the day easy. But it’s the staff that really makes this place special. Bella was excellent to work with as our day-of lead, going above and beyond with little details to make the day run flawlessly alongside our planner. The team just knows what it takes to make a wedding happen and deliver great service. The bartenders were super friendly and well staffed so no one was ever waiting for a drink. DJ Nick created an epic dance floor we still hear about from our fiends and family. Top notch experience and professionalism while keeping it fun! Worth every penny, and highly recommend!

ed to get married. Everyone here is wonderful and Matt made the whole process a breeze. We got so many compliments from guests on the venue. It is super spacious and the natural greenery really helped us save on flowers. I would chose the Ivy House again and again. Our wedding was truly everything I could have imagined.

y House you walk into beautiful natural ivy throughout the venue. It was stunning! Charlie and the rest of The Ivy House crew did an amazing job and a night my husband and I will never forget. Our friends and family continue to talk about how beautiful and amazing the venue is. We did our ceremony on the beautiful patio and end dancing the night away outside. I highly recommend The Ivy House. Their hospitality and communication are something you won’t get anywhere else.

nce - she was attentive and responsive to our needs and questions. Easy to work with, and the entire team was fun and energetic. Beautiful venue as well, already comes with greenery and plants that we were able to keep decorations to a minimum and the place still looked stunning. 10 out of 10 for us for sure.

usly lucked out with the BEST in the game - specifically Matt Basteyns! We found Ivy House about 1.5 years before our preferred wedding date but there was a hold on it. We were browsing Filament (also looks awesome by Two Birds!) when Matt said that Ivy House had an opening for our daylight savings weekend date + we locked it in! From the beginning they were incredibly communicative and helpful, and also honored prices from a year prior that we had seen. Not only was Matt just so warm, inviting, knowledgeable and professional, but he was so much FUN to work with! He scoured places to find some Pride swag for us and our guests and had no problem making substitutes for our bar package literally the day before the wedding! He also offered hours before the wedding to offer our ceremony to be done outside on the back patio (gorgeous!) but we opted to stay inside for our guests. When I say he went above and beyond I truly mean it as even our parents were specifically taken care of the day of the wedding with specialty non-alcoholic drinks they preferred. Matt really made the day also go so smoothly and worked exceptionally well with all of our vendors. He also was a big hit for my husband and I giving us have a private dinner upstairs where we could enjoy an intimate meal together as husband and wife to get away from the crowd for a bit! The bartenders absolutely crushed it with our speciality cocktail ideas and made sure our guests were comfortable and happy. Also want to give a BIG shoutout to Jack from Milwaukee Airwaves who went above and beyond also with a highly difficult processional song request and mixed a song together that turned out so beautifully and made our ceremony dreams really come true! Not only that but Jack brought our officiant’s wallet to our after party location that was left at the venue. Besides the impeccable service that is provided, the space itself is so naturally stunning that we didn’t need to spend a lot of extra money on decor or floral needs because of this. I promise you are actually saving money by choosing this venue when it comes to the QUALITY that a venue provides (communication, professionalism, unique ideas, space, greenery, layout). We also saved money on transportation by having both our ceremony and reception here since it is so beautiful and wanted to utilize the entire day at this incredible space. Groomsmen loved the getting ready arcade area and the bridesmaids & mothers adored the *massive* getting ready penthouse that comes with a full kitchen for all of your needs. Guests loved the photobooth addition! I also want to highlight that their venue is very accessible for guests with varying walking abilities and has MANY stalls in their bathrooms (extremely important when hunting for good venues! We found other venues in the dt Milwaukee area had either just one or two stalls, or were not ADA friendly due to historic building regulations). I really could go on and on about how amazing of an experience it was that we had here but if you are looking for an iconic wedding venue and event space, seriously look no further than the Ivy House. They absolutely crushed it and got rave reviews from all those that attended our vow renewal party. Trust me when I say Ivy House is a pro and you will be in great hands!

day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and we had so many compliments from our friends and family about the space. We were fortunate enough with weather to have our ceremony outside on the patio and then dinner/dancing inside but their planning team gave us many options to personalize where we wanted various events throughout the day. There is beautiful ivy and greenery throughout the entire space so we really didn't need to add very much for wedding decor which helped significantly with cost savings. There is a bridal suite at Ivy House with a separate entrance that is PERFECT for getting ready the morning of the wedding. There was so much space for hair, makeup, and it came with basically a full kitchen and a professional grade steamer that was amazing to have for the day. The space is so cute too and a great unique place for a lot of getting ready photos. Throughout the night we were able to access the suite as well which was also great. Olivia was the event coordinator assigned to us and she was wonderful to work with, especially with how flexible she was with us not living in the same city as the venue. Specifically with meeting times and also drop off/pickup of our wedding decor for the day. She was very responsive whenever we had questions about the day, and she was very helpful in guiding us with various decisions we had to make. The day itself was seamless and my husband and I can't think of anything that we wish went differently! Olivia, the bartenders, and all other Ivy House Staff were professional, kind, and all of our guests said how great of an experience they had. While the venue itself is a beautiful place to celebrate your marriage, the Ivy House team is really what made it the absolute best day for us. Thank you again to Olivia and the Ivy House team, would recommend this venue for anyone looking for their wedding day!

e we wanted to share our special day. The venue itself is gorgeous and is a perfect canvas for stunning pictures. The staff is truly a dream team. I can honestly say they day went without a hitch (and if it did, I had no idea). They worked so hard to make everything go smoothly and give our guests an amazing experience. I have been raving about the ivy house and our guests are still talking about it. I may be biased, but I think this is the best venue in the Milwaukee area. If you are lucky enough to find a date available for the ivy house, you won't regret having your wedding here.
