Christy was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process! I got married there September 24,2022. I’m so glad we chose this venue as the whole team was amazing. The food was also incredible!! We came back to the restaurant on our 1 year to celebrate and they gave us a free glass of champagne.

Aud Mar is a true hidden gem and was the perfect venue for our summer wedding, especially if you're looking for a waterfront ceremony. We hosted both our ceremony and reception at ...
Aud Mar and everything went so smoothly. Christy and the team do such a great job. The bridal area was great for our groomsmen to use while bridesmaids got read offsite. Our ceremony was beautiful and naturally decorated by all of the pre-existing plants and flowers, which is great if you're trying to save some money on flowers and decor like we were. The team really accommodates as much as possible for rehearsal and ceremony to balance with the restaurant downstairs. The upstairs banquet hall was easy to decorate. The two rooms can feel awkward for larger wedding parties, but ours was 100 and comfortably fit in the main room, plus a dance floor and a head table. The balcony is also helpful for those who want a quiet place to converse or play games and adds a relaxing atmosphere.
We had so many compliments on how much our guests enjoyed their experience. It's a perfect spot for a summer wedding, giving both a formal and relaxing atmosphere. The pier onto the lake was also something our guests enjoyed being able to explore.
Last--the food. *Chef's kiss* the best wedding food ever. There is a basic menu package, but they can make anything, which is a perk of sharing a professional restaurant. We customized and did a Friday fish fry with sides of rolls and french fries, Florentine pasta, chicken, and salad for dinner. Our appetizers were ham/pickle/cream cheese roll-ups, chips/dip, and deep-fried cheese curds (which were gone immediately). With our buffet, everything was still hot that needed to be and our guests still rave about how great their meal was. Service was also exceptional and on time. One of our guests works in catering and she was very impressed by their timing.
Aud Mar was fantastic and reasonably priced, and I would definitely book them again if I had to do it all again.

Everything went so smoothly! From the tour, to booking, to paying, to planning, and the actual big day!
The venue itself is beautiful. If you’re looking for a place where you don...
’t need a ton of decorations to create a really cool atmosphere, this is your place! And being right on the lake is a big plus!
Christy was amazing to work with! She always had an answer, and responded promptly. We had one planning meeting about 5 months out, and we nailed down all the details. Then a couple weeks out, we exchanged emails to get the floor plan covered.
Then on the wedding day, everything went perfectly! All of the logistical parts of the night were taken care of, and the staff and bartenders were so friendly!
And then the food! My husband and I initially looked at Aud Mar because Bass Bay Brewhouse is one of our favorite restaurants. And the buffet dinner served was out of this world! We had pretty typical buffet food (chicken, beef, mashed potatoes, etc) but the flavor was far from typical! I thoroughly enjoyed my plate, and I’m still getting compliments on the food from guests! And they made it so easy to offer a (delicious!) vegetarian option for those who needed it.
Bottom line: I really hope Aud Mar has your date available, because you will love having your reception here!
I initially thought I wanted a downtown Milwaukee venue, but nothing could have been better than here.

was so pretty! The weather was questionable, so having the large covered porch (overlooking the lake) as a back up for the ceremony was reassuring.

pace was perfect for our guests as no one was squished too close together. Christy was helpful through the whole process and I appreciated her patience working with us! The staff was incredible on the day of the wedding. Nothing was cold and all the food came out at the perfect time. Everyone complimented the food, desserts, and open bar. Our guests were so happy, and so were we! It was a day that we’ll never forget and it was worth every dollar we spent! Being able to have all the food and bar service done in one place made it so much easier to not have several vendors to keep track of and it was more affordable than hiring a caterer. We were thrilled to have our special day here and we highly recommend you have yours here too, you won’t regret it!

response to our inquiry was very quick, and all communication was very professional and prompt. No question was left unanswered and we knew exactly what to expect along the way. The day of our wedding and the time leading up to our big day, the staff was absolutely amazing! The venue is absolutely beautiful! Our waterside ceremony and indoor reception was more than we could have dreamed! And the boat ride between the ceremony and reception was the perfect touch! The food was delicious and we received so many comments from our guests that everything and everyone at the venue was perfect! If we had to do it all again we wouldn’t change a single thing!

Can not wait to come back and remember our wedding day for years to come. Thank you 💕

e heard a lot of compliments on the food as well. Working with them leading up to the wedding went smoothly. They were always very responsive and answered all my questions. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the parking. Our wedding was on a Friday night and the restaurant below the venue was packed. There were no parking spots available when I got there at 5:30 pm and a number of our guests commented that they had to circle the lot for a while before getting a spot. Overall, I definitely recommend this venue!

questions or concerns we had. Their focus was on us and what WE WANTED and not nickle and diming us for everything. The day was perfect, they constantly check in to make sure everything is how you want it and the food was great! We had so many compliments on the venue and food from guests that it just confirmed that we made the best decision on location for our special day.

We were looking for something that wasn't in the city but wasn't a cut and dry "rustic barn" venue. Aud Mar offers an elegant and scenic venue for ceremony and/or reception, right ...
on the lake. The team was super helpful and offered lots of advice and guidance but were also so aware of what we were wanting and ultimately had our end vision in mind. Good food was a major priority for us, and the buffet was amazing - desserts were a major hit as well.
I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding; I saw Kyle running around like crazy and making sure things were fluid and I'm so appreciative.
We've gotten non-stop compliments on how beautiful the space was, how good the food was, and how much fun people had. I can't recommend Aud Mar enough.
