I don't even know where to begin... If you are looking for a small, intimate venue this is the place to go. Allison and her team were incredible to work with! When Allison says it ...
will be beautiful, she means it. I didn't have a vision for my wedding day and they took care of everything from the table linens, the decor and the flowers. Everything was perfect and the food was amazing!
We are not based in Milwaukee, but love the city so much we decided to get married there. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at The White House and it was everything we could have hope...

The restaurant is beautiful, the staff is incredible (attentive and friendly), and everything on the menu is absolutely delicious!! Not only do I recommend this venue for any gathering, but we now make a point to stop in every time we come to town! Don’t pass up this gem!

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at the White House and we could not have been happier with it. Allison and her staff made our wedding weekend perfect. Allison was so fun ...
and easy to plan the event with. She created a menu for the event, hosted a BEAUTIFUL happy hour in the garden, and decorated the dinner space so beautifully and elegantly. Plus the food and service were top notch. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed our rehearsal dinner. We are so happy with how our event at the White House turned out. <3

the moment we left. No details were spared! 10/10 would recommend
I am SO happy I chose to hold my private ceremony and reception at the White House. The building itself is picturesque and charming, the garden was in full bloom, and the table arr...
angements and flowers Allison helped me choose were stunning. The staff took the reigns on the entire setup from start to finish and the service was nothing short of amazing. Allison, Ava, and Thomas paid attention to every detail and made sure my guests, my husband, and myself had an incredible experience. Apart from that, the food was to die for. The chef’s scallops, filet, and duck breast were out of this world amazing and I’m pretty sure there was not a speck left on anyones plate. Usually wedding food is mediocre, so being able to have your wedding at a fine dining establishment is the way to go. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Also, I loved the Victorian bridal suite my bridesmaids and I were able to get ready in. It was so cute and quaint and perfect for the get-ready photos. My experience with Allison and her team at the White House truly helped make my wedding day everything I ever dreamed it to be.
