We loved having our wedding at Overture! It was a stunning and spectacular day and everyone commented on how beautiful and great of a wedding it was and a lot of that was due to Ov...
erture. Kelsey and then Allie were our points of contact and they were superb. They were very responsive and answered all of our questions in great detail. The venue is gorgeous with a lot of natural light that makes for great pictures rain or shine and also has clean lines.
We had an initial tour and then the walkthrough 1-2 months out. We did the ceremony on Upper Lobby, cocktail hour on Promenade Terrace and Promenade Lobby, and reception in Main lobby. Allie mocked up our floor plans several times to accommodate all of our tweaks, which was so appreciated.
Allie worked very well with our wedding coordinator and the caterer. Allie was able to secure a hideaway space for us on the day of. Allie is a very nice person in general! The caterer/Overture handled the welcome sign in the lobby, the bathroom signs, and the signature cocktail signs, which shortened my to do list. Overture even let us into the main concert hall for pictures.
I would have appreciated a bit more price transparency from Overture. After Allie suggested it, we requested Overture move the couches from one place to another and we didn’t realize it cost $300. We may not have done that if we had known there was a cost. Overall, we had a wonderful experience before and during the day of our wedding with Overture and would recommend them to anyone!!
My husband and I are forever grateful to Mary, Haley and all of the Overture Center and Catering a Fresco staff for being the best partners in planning and coordinating our wedding...
. We connected with Mary a year and a half before our wedding date for a venue tour, and she was our constant teammate ever since. Always prompt in communication, an incredible expert in wedding coordination, and at the ready to answer our many questions -- we wouldn't have been able to have our dream wedding without Mary! Haley led all catering aspects for our special day and was an incredible person to work with. Her attention to detail helped us figure out our catering contract, set up our menu tasting and ensured all guests who had dietary restrictions were cared for. One of our friends is vegan and was absolutely delighted by the delicious vegan entree they made specifically for her! Our guests are still raving about the entrees and the late-night mac 'n' cheese bar! Our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all ran smoothly thanks to both Mary and Haley, as well as our day-of onsite event coordinators Allie and Erin. All of our guests were in awe of the outstanding, expansive beauty of the Overture Center. It was so special to get married in the heart of downtown Madison.
