Testimonials

Kristen A.

"We had the wedding of our dreams at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. From the day we saw the venue a year ago, we fell in love with how elegant and unique it was, and were so excited to showcase it to our guests. ...We held our ceremony in Pere Marquette park directly behind The Society, followed by a cocktail hour on The Society’s patio (which is conveniently shaded in the summer, making it very comfortable for guests). Dinner was on the second floor, and guests were floored by the gorgeous and intricate ceilings as they walked up the stairs. The size of the first floor was more than enough room for our wedding of 165, and the shape of the room allowed for easy flow between dancing, mingling, and the bar. Almost every guest has commented to us about how unique and gorgeous this venue is, and they especially loved the bank vault behind the dance floor. We truly had the most perfect day in a stunning venue, and cannot recommend this venue or the Two Birds team enough."

"The Society was the PERFECT place for us to get married on NYE. Rich in history, a stunning building and fantastic staff (Two Birds Event Group) made the night one we will cherish forever. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour downstairs and then dinner upstairs, which worked perfect - no room flip! We're so grateful to everyone [else] who made our wedding so magical."

"Two Birds did a phenomenal job with our wedding this past December! The venue was breath taking and both Bella and Nick did an outstanding job working behind the scenes to make the reception so smooth. I would recommend this location and team to anyone!"
