We do not even know where to begin on how amazing it was to have Shully's as our venue and caterer for our wedding!! Shully's is an amazing venue due to their beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces! Their food is also so delicious! They have so many options and listen and accommodate for food allergies and dietary needs. We got many compliments on the food. When we toured, we met their event coordinator, Olivia, who we worked with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Olivia is a gem in the wedding industry! We could not say enough to summarize how amazing she was to work with. She made planning so easy, answered our many questions promptly and kindly, and was so organized! Her and her staff took on the setting up of our ceremony and reception spaces, which took lots of stress off of us and family members day of. They did not miss a detail the whole day! The wait staff was so kind, and they efficiently delivered all plated meals and tended to guests throughout our entire dinner. At the end of the night, they made sure to box up some desserts and our leftover dinner for us to take home! The bar staff was also so amazing and quick! Everyone who works at Shully's hospitality and compassion goes above and beyond! We could not have had the perfect, seamless day that we did without Shully's, Olivia, and all staff who helped on our day!!

After viewing 4 other venues Shully’s was the perfect mix of outdoor and indoor options. We planned for an outdoor ceremony on Shully’s breathtaking lawn space, with a great rain option under their giant tent. We were fortunate with the weather on our wedding day, and were able to utilize the tent space for our guests during our cocktail hour. The ballroom inside, has gorgeous high ceilings which added to the classy and spacious feeling that we had with nearly 200 guests. Nina did an amazing job coordinating during the rehearsal and throughout our entire wedding day. She was calm, professional, and detail oriented. She even set up many of our decorations, since we were unable to get into the venue early to do so ourselves. We had several guests raving about the food and how smoothly the entire day went, thanks to Nina and her talented staff at Shully’s. Beyond the wedding, we have participated in a few of the online cooking classes Shully’s offers, which were just as delicious as our wedding day food and we had a great time learning something new. We also had the privilege of attending outdoor concert on the lawn. Both are things we plan to do in the future with Shully’s, and would highly recommend anyone who has read this far to do the same!

We were guests at Nick and Meredith's Wedding on 8/29/2026. The wedding service was nice, but it rained and there should have been a backup plan. We could not see the couple becaus...

e all of the umbrellas were in our way. I think the staff could have moved the chairs into the reception tent? The reception was beautiful, first class, and the food was top notch. The service from the staff was excellent, and they were even checking and cleaning the bathrooms. The DJ was a problem and didn't know what dinner music was or at what volume it should be. We could not comfortably talk to relatives we had not seen in years. The reception then moved out to the tent and once again the DJ was a problem. Way too loud and all the same dance mix beat. One guest's smart watch went off for dangerous noise decibel levels. Slow songs were requested for the older crowd, but were never played. We left with head aches at about 9:30pm. Top notch venue, but the DJ spoiled it for us. Would have been 5 stars!!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and our reception at Shully's in June of 2019. We could not have asked for a better venue with better food, staff or service. Three months...

after our wedding and we are still getting compliments from our friends and family members! It was a night that we both will never forget, and we just absolutely adored everything about this venue. It is close to Milwaukee, but gives off a small town vibe. The backyard has an absolutely beautiful atmosphere where you can go on the Riverwalk. Every part of the food (appetizers, dinner, cake, dessert, etc..) was outstanding. The best wedding food I've probably ever had (and not just saying that because it was our wedding....). It was great too because they are a from scratch kitchen so our guests with allergies and GF needs were served with ease. In fact, I had several of our GF guests come up to me and say that they were pleasantly surprised that they were so well accommodated and could enjoy a meal out instead of stressing over it. It's a wonderful family run business, and you can tell that everyone puts so much pride into their work. I can only hope that the future weddings that we get invited to are at Shully's.

as a beautiful cheese table set up, and the tables were set up just right. They even added tea light candles throughout the room to add a sparkle. Our coordinators were on top of it, and I didn't have a single worry on what was happening next. The ceasar salad was yummy, and the dinner was delicious. There was plenty of food on each plate. The meat (chicken and beef) were made just right. The beef actually melted in my mouth it was that good! Overall, I highly recommend Shully's to caterer at your wedding!

Watermark ballroom and grounds to the amazing food and the friendly staff Shully’s has everything to offer. Nina was our wedding coordinator and she was an absolute joy to work with. Nina was such a great help in planning our special day and she had so many great ideas to offer. Nina and the staff at Shully’s made sure everything went perfectly at our ceremony and reception and that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything. The entire staff at Shully’s was extremely attentive throughout our entire wedding day. We got married a little over 3 months ago and to this day we have continued to hear from our friends and family how perfect our wedding was. I would highly recommend the Watermark at Shully’s to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

enue a year ago, has been wonderful. Nina was our wedding coordinator, and she was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to emails and helped quite a lot with the details of wedding planning. Nina made sure that we didn't have to worry about anything on the big day. She was more than happy to accommodate last-minute requests and made sure everything went flawlessly at our reception. The Shully's team was attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the night. They carried all our gifts to the car for us, did all of the set-up and take-down, and even packaged up leftovers for us at the end of the evening! They really went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect. And I can't forget to mention the food - it was so delicious! We have gotten many compliments from our guests. I can't say enough good things about Nina and everyone at Shully's. I would absolutely recommend the Watermark for a wedding venue, and I would use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you all so much for a beautiful wedding reception!

Selecting a venue is key when planning your wedding day. After looking at a few different places Ryan and I knew immediately that Shully's was the place we never even knew we were ...

dreaming about. Everything about Shully's, from our amazing coordinator Steven, to the gorgeous elegant details in the Watermark, to the picturesque back lawn, to the mouthwatering food, was absolutely perfect. There was not one thing that I asked for that they didn't supply. Steven told us over and over again that once the day came, we would be able to sit back and enjoy our special day because he and the staff would take care of everything. He held true to that statement and made sure neither Ryan or I had to lift a finger for anything. I can't say enough how perfect everything was- it was just that, perfect.

We hired Shully's Cuisine and Events to cater our wedding this October and were absolutely thrilled with our experience! Our Event Coordinator, Steven, assisted with every aspect ...

of our big day, even helping the bridesmaids and groomsmen with cues for walking down the aisle! He truly offered so much more than we expected from a caterer. In addition to Steven's kindness and professionalism, the staff of servers provided by Shully's was also remarkable. Their timing was perfect and they were gracious and personable with our guests. Our wedding meal was phenomenal- an elegant, seasonal menu of the finest quality. From first contact to the end of the evening, Shully's provided the best possible service and we give them our highest recommendation.
