“I cannot fully express how wonderful our wedding was at the Marcus Performing Arts Center! Being a COVID-19 couple, we had to switch our wedding day from April to October. They changed everything around in less than 24 hours within any issues. The food is absolutely fabulous. If you can swing it, get a signature drink! Our guests were thrilled with the space. Thank you to Lynn and the PAC for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!”

“The Fitch Garden was just the right atmosphere for my daughter and her partner to have their wedding ceremony. And with the cocktail hour and reception just steps away, this venue couldn’t be beat. The balcony outside the Bradley Pavilion allowed guests to take in a beautiful summer Milwaukee skyline at sunset. Lynn and her staff were amazing as well. Having to navigate plans and decisions with both the girls out of state, tackling food allergies, and communicating with multiple vendors, Lynn put us at ease and helped the wedding be top notch.”

Laurie H.

“The Marcus Center exceeded our expectations – it was a gorgeous venue! We had our ceremony in the Atrium, cocktail hour in the Promenade, and reception in the Bradley Pavilion. The catering was also phenomenal. Lastly, our wonderful coordinator Karin! She was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Karin put us at ease for our wedding and made it as easy and stress-free as possible. She was there from the beginning planning stages to fluffing my train as I walked down the aisle.”
