Beautiful venue with an expansive dance floor! Open bar made easy since we could supply the bar ourselves from Costco! Chorus Public House has the ability to create the dance floor experience on the main level and then we had games and photo booth up on the mezzanine level! Made for a really fun wedding!

Chorus Public House is the PERFECT wedding venue for anyone in the area. I don't say that lightly. The venue is gorgeous and you don't need to overdo it on decor, it really shines 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.

Chorus was a fantastic venue and received tons of compliments. It felt intimate but not crowded, and the open dance floor worked perfectly. Most of all, we loved the warmth that comes with a place with history.

We loved the Chorus Public House! Our daughter was married in August of 2019 and we used the space for the reception. We loved being able to get in beforehand to decorate the bright and festive space. Everything went smoothly the day of and clean up was a breeze! The staff is easy to work with and accommodating. We have attended other parties and events there and are grateful to have such a wonderful space available in town!

The Chorus Public House is a beautiful venue for an elegant, vintage-inspired wedding. The wood floors and ceilings are already a great background with minimal decorating. We had a wedding of approximately 150 people, with a ceremony on the mezzanine, cocktail hour in the basement, and dinner/dancing on the main floor. Note that the mezzanine is best suited for under 150 but is great for having natural light and using the grand staircase. Christi from the Chorus House was professional, friendly, and fast to respond to questions via email. She also provided some helpful suggestions, such as using the same chairs for ceremony and dinner, and bringing in some “muscle” to help with moving those chairs.
While I was happy with the final product of my wedding day, I think that Chorus House still has a few things to figure out as a venue. For example, we chose to upgrade to the “Diamond Package,” which included chairs/tables/linens in addition to use of the venue. Linens didn’t include napkins, which was a surprise cost. Christi did cover half the napkins as a gesture of good faith, which was appreciated. A few other costs we incurred that were not included in the package included upgrading the chairs from white to fruitwood (which looked much better in the venue), choosing colored tablecloths instead of white, and adding a booster seat. When touring the venue, we were told there was an option to hire bartenders for an hourly rate, which was then no longer available when the time came to set up the service. We ended up hiring a separate bartending service to avoid the hassle of having to buy and bring in our own alcohol/servers.
An assistant is also available the day of your wedding for a few hours to help coordinate setup, which is nice if you don’t have a wedding planner. You could pay to have her there a few extra hours as well. One more positive note is that renting this venue gives you all of Saturday and then Sunday morning so you don’t have to clean up the night of the wedding.

Chorus Public House is a hidden gem in Stoughton and was the perfect location for our wedding reception. It has really unique vibes, and we got so many compliments on how awesome the venue was. The bar was one of our favorite features of the place in addition to the beautiful staircase that was perfect for speeches and a grand entrance. Majority of our communication was with Christi, and she was highly responsive through the entire wedding planning process which is so important. You bring in all of your vendors which gave us the freedom to make our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. A shout out to Kadie the day of the wedding for being awesome and helping make everything run smoothly. We couldn't be happier with how our big day went and hope to see more weddings at the Chorus Public House!
