The Barley Room at Pabst was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was very strong - they answered every call and text we sent, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was super affordable, costing us a lot less than almost all the downtown venues we had looked at. On the day of our wedding, the staff at The Barley Room went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and our guests were well cared for. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful venue that exceeded our expectations in every way.

The Factory on Barclay 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

The Factory on Barclay is one of the largest Industrial venues in Southeast Wisconsin. The 2-story Cream City Brick walls throughout the space encompasses the history of Milwaukee and provides a grand backdrop for any wedding style. Accommodating up to 300 seated guests or up to 400 for a cocktail style reception, along with an onsite ceremony, The Factory offers great options for groups of most sizes. Enjoy the 2 oversized, separate, onsite suites to get ready whether you choose to hold your ceremony onsite or offsite. Guests enjoy the large, outdoor patio with warm cafe lighting to enjoy the fresh air.

We couldn't have picked a more beautiful, open and perfect venue than the Factory on Barclay. We got married 5/13 and people are still messaging me about how stunning the venue was. Sarah was amazing every step of the way from letting us tour multiple times with different family members, owning set up of our day and tear down. We didn't have to worry about a thing besides having our day. The rest of the staff day-of was absolutely awesome as well. Alcohol is provided. Bartenders were awesome and dealt with the party atmosphere of our wedding really well. We had a little scheduling issue where, surprisingly, we were ahead of schedule and Sarah got all vendors to move things ahead 30 mins. You get so much for your money as well. The space itself is massive and makes the day flow really easily. We did everything on-site, (getting ready, pics, ceremony and reception) and it was the perfect space. Getting ready suites are huge and a big plus. Recommended vendors usually sway people in the opposite direction because you have a smaller list of caterers to chose from, but it's evident that the staff at the Factory and Sarah have taken the time to curate a list of vendors that make a lot of sense for all different budgets and different experiences. We wouldn't do a thing differently regarding our venue search. Truly was the most beautiful day. Will add pictures once we get our formal pics from our photographer!

Having my event at sugar maple was an absolute dream. I had never planned an event before & the idea of it was incredibly daunting. Xay & Adrienne made the event extremely easy & smooth to plan. I received prompt & flexible responses to questions and the price was very reasonable. We ended up doing a signature cocktail & my guests have been raving about it since. It was delicious- so well balanced. The other drinks at the bar & extremely large beer selection were also beloved. We were allowed to sit out on the patio by the fire which provided a lovely dynamic for guests who needed a breather from dancing. The sound system is amazing, the projector worked very well, the back room is super cool & the vibe of the bar is immaculate. I would highly recommend using Sugar Maple for your event, going there for some beer with friends or attending one of there amazing pop ups.

The UEC is a wonderful organization that does such great conservation work in our community and it pleased us very much to be able to support them with some of our wedding dollars. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous and shady. Inside, we love the beautiful wood paneling and rustic wood furniture, as well as the openness of the space and the big skylight. Danni, our event coordinator, was great to work with and very responsive to our emails and questions. It was great to feel so welcomed and comfortable as a queer couple. The UEC is very LGBTQIA friendly and we felt right at home! Oh and the beautiful natural surroundings made for great photos too!

We ended up having an amazing wedding at Scenic View Country Club in October 2020. The space is nicely laid out and provides plenty of room with dance floor, huge bar and separate dining area. The wrap around porch provided nice outdoor space and would be great for cocktail hours, weather permitting. The views of the trees and green provided a great backdrop for ceremony and pictures. When COVID hit, there were a few changes in their event coordinators which made us a little nervous but once we got Clarissa a few months before our day, that all changed. Clarissa and her staff really made our day special. She was organized and great at communication leading up to our day. Planning a wedding in 2020 wasn't easy but I appreciated Clarissa's flexibility and help as we got closer. Day of, she was so helpful keeping us on track and making sure everything ran smoothly. We had some rain scheduled but still wanted to keep the ceremony outside if possible. We luckily got a window before our ceremony began and the staff was out there wiping off chairs and leaf blowing puddles so I wouldn't get my dress wet. Throughout the night, the staff continued to do an amazing job with serving dinner and keeping our guests happy! We were also very impressed with the food and heard nothing but good things from guests. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and very happy with our choice to have our special day at Scenic View!
