Milwaukee has been exploding with new venues, but The Venue at Milwaukee Brewing Company stands out for couples who want a blank slate venue with yummy food and delicious beer — connected to one of Milwaukee’s hottest breweries!
The Venue at Milwaukee Brewing Company’s rooftop space is great for wedding ceremonies and we love the killer views of downtown. In addition, the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking downtown and MKE Brewing Co. operations, along with its location adjacent to the Bucks Arena District (a.k.a. Deer District) will ensure you and your guests will have a great time before, during and after your wedding.
