The Atwood Music Hall is the newest events venue in Madison located on the near East side at the crossroads of Atwood and Winnebago streets. Originally built in 1932 as the home of the Madison Gospel Tabernacle, the space sat 1000 parishioners for weekly services.
The newly renovated building offers a unique space for weddings and private events from 150 to 700 people. Walking into the venue, the diamond shaped lamella ceiling immediately draws attention, and the overall design pays homage to the Art Deco period in which the building was conceived.
State-of-the-art sound, lights, and video offer professional AV capabilities for ceremonies, speeches, presentations, live music, or DJs to keep your attendees captivated throughout the event. The lower level contains two suites that offer cozy, classy spaces to make getting ready a breeze, as well as a designated catering area for food prep and staging. Multiple bars are located throughout the venue to keep drink lines short. While the building is close to many area hotels, it also manages two nearby parking lots that can accommodate up to 108 cars.
Impress your guests with an amazing experience and create lasting memories at the Atwood Music Hall!

We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding venue. We received compliments on the bar drink selection with lots of NA options and variety to choose from. We upgraded to the sig...
nature cocktails and loved the old fashioned and Moscow mule. Guests said was one of few wedding they had been to where you could hear actually hear the vows and could talk throughout the night with the DJ playing without loosing their voices. The lightening of the stage and venue was changed throughout the evening making another great touch. The ability to flip the space seamlessly was a huge plus and kept the evening flowing effortlessly. The get-ready rooms were also a standout—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and preparing before the ceremony. Everything felt thoughtful, well-executed, and designed to make the day stress-free. We’re so grateful we chose this venue for such an important day.

We worked with Atwood Music Hall for our engagement party. All planning and event management went off without a hitch and our guests had a great time. The venue is independent and ...
mission-driven, steeped in Madison history, and experienced in throwing important events - exactly what we were hoping for. Their in-house tech was supportive and professional, as were the staff on hand for the evening. Communication with our event manager was professional and well-managed, both in preparation for and execution of the event. Our catering company worked well in the venue's small food prep space. Should the venue allow, developing more room for catering services could improve guest and caterer experience. All in all, however, we'd plan another event here in a heartbeat.
