For some Milwaukee brides and grooms, the cost of their wedding isn’t an issue. For the rest of us, we try and save money anywhere we can.

Below is a list of some of the most common hidden costs that reception halls charge. Depending on the venue, there might be ways around them – so make sure to ask and get everything in writing!

Budget Wedding Centerpieces
By · Leave a Comment
We did double duty for the wedding rehearsal and reception decorations. We purchased rose bunches from Pick’n Save and vases from TJ Maxx for decorations at the rehearsal dinner. Then we used the same vases for the wedding bouquets at the reception. We then removed the rose petals the next day to use as part of the centerpieces on each table.

Weddings at the The Astor Hotel
By · Leave a Comment
We had our wedding reception at the Astor Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. The Astor has a ballroom that’s filled with old world charm and we loved it. We didn’t do a sit down dinner, but instead did a cocktail reception where the food was served in stations and our guests could eat whenever they wanted. This made the reception more social and gave us more time to socialize with our guests.

This post is from a good friend of ours: We had our wedding reception at Klemmer’s Banquet Center on Oklahoma- just off of I94. The food was excellent and the prices are very reasonable- everything was well organized and they set up many of the table decorations based on our instructions- I would definitely recommend this location to others.

Choosing a Milwaukee Reception Hall

When we got engaged, we already had the church and our next step was to choose a Milwaukee reception hall. We wanted our reception to be in or around downtown Milwaukee, so that helped narrow our choices a little.
