Chorus Public House

htforward answers to our questions. Having excellent communication with a constant person via your venue is so important, and not always a given as one might assume. To have the same person and level of communication throughout 1.5 years was such a blessing and we value that aspect of this venue very much! The venue itself is STUNNING. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was, and most of the decor is already there at the venue. Having 3 levels was more helpful and smooth than we thought it would be! We had our ceremony on the main floor and got married in front of the staircase to the mezzanine, immediately followed by cocktail hour which took place on the mezzanine while our caterer and Day Of Coordinator Britzi staged the main level for dinner. We didn’t use the basement level for anything guest related, but it was a great place for our bridal party and family to keep all of their things and retreat to for a break in the midst of mass socializing. It rained on our wedding day, but there was a break in the rain in perfect timing for us to be able to enter our ceremony procession from outside. There is a staircase from the basement to outside to be able to get in place without your guests seeing you. There is also a staircase from the basement to the main level behind where guests are seated for the ceremony in the event of rain, the venue really is equipped for any and all situations. For Saturday weddings, you have access to the entire venue at 9am Friday, so we were able to get everything in and set up prior to family and bridal party arriving for our rehearsal, which we were able to have on site! Again, not every venue makes it available to you for your rehearsal, and not every venue lets you have access to it as early as you need. This was a MASSIVE part in things going as smoothly as they did. Our day of coordinator Britzi was fabulous. I was a little nervous because you don’t meet her until the day, but she proved there was absolutely no need to worry! The team at Chorus is very well managed and prepared prior to all events, she anticipated every need and handled things I didn’t even think to worry about! We truly did not need to be concerned with the flow of anything, Britzi and our caterer handled it all. We hired their bartenders but brought all of our own alcohol, and the lead bartender Jennifer was in contact with us in the few weeks leading up to the wedding to get details on what we’d be serving and to give us details on what they’d have available for us and where we should put things. I recommend going with their bartenders as they are familiar with the space and flow of things! All in all, we wouldn’t trade this venue for another in any circumstance. It was everything we dreamed of, from decor, elegance and vibe, to professionalism, coordination and flow.

experience on the main level and then we had games and photo booth up on the mezzanine level! Made for a really fun wedding!

on it's own. Walking down the staircase for the ceremony was so powerful and our guests loved it! It's a fair price given the Madison area venues AND you can set up a full day ahead of time. They include a day-of coordinator (we had Drew) who was unbelievably helpful and available. It was easy to be packed up and out by 1am. The only cons are, the venue does not have an elevator due to age, but that is only an issue if you have guests who can't do stairs. We kept all of our celebrations on the main level. They also don't have water fountains on site, but because you can bring your own alcohol, we just brought our own water too and caterers helped with water. Overall, would 100% recommend this venue and would get married here all over again.
