Sixth Floor - Modern, Chic, Classic in downtown MKE

We had our wedding at the Sixth Floor in March 2022 and it was amazing. The best thing about the Sixth Floor is you can choose from so many vendors and really customize the layout the whole day however you want. The building itself has a huge dance floor and that Milwaukee charm. Ann and Clai are so helpful and flexible, we are so happy with how our day turned out!! Highly recommend!

Loved having Sixth Floor as our wedding venue! Clai was so easy to work with from day one. Very responsive and always making sure your day is what you want it to be.

This venue was perfect for my wedding . Any questions I had Clai was only a phone call away. I love how he gave me parking resources for my guest and also recommendations on other vendors for food and decor ! Clai made my planning a lot less stressful, everything was easily coordinated and went smoothly. Highly recommend this venue.

I’m finally ready to write my review! This venue is FANTASTIC. Clai is the best ever, and he is so helpful it’s insane. He recommended just about every vendor I had aside from my photographer and videographer. I truly felt like I had a wonderful team to work with my entire wedding day. The hotel is actually super accommodating as well! Go with this venue, and go with their recommendations. You will not be disappointed, I promise. Thank you for making our day so magical 🥺🥰

I truly felt happiness here. It's a beautiful venue! The kindness from the staff here is truly amazing! Clai was very helpful, patient and professional! He has great ideas and is able to help you re-invision the space to your needs and wants. It took us 3 years ( partly because of the pandemic) to get there but it was EVERYTHING we could of imagined we are so grateful for them ❤ thank you for taking the time to work with us!

We have been working with Clai for years for obvious pandemic reasons. He ha always been responsive, understanding, and accommodating. We did not use a wedding planner and Clai gave us some useful tips. The place was given to us clean and the tables were already set up how we wanted them. The bartender did an outstanding job! We had a great experience!

Clai was a life saver with a beverage snafu we had - he saved the day and was incredibly accommodating. The venue was perfect and the service was excellent all night. Highly recommend!!!

The Sixth Floor was perfect for our wedding! The venue had everything we were looking for with our budget, decor, bring your own bar, and choose your own caterer. Clai & his team were the best, so easy to work with and so nice. We would recommend the Sixth Floor to anyone for any event in the downtown Milwaukee area!

To explain the amount of joy I had working with Clai at The Sixth Floor I would need more than 3500 characters. When I say he took care of us I mean just that. From helping me with floor plans, seating, beverages to my decorator/coordinator. Clai went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect. When I say I had the time of my life I definitely didn’t want the day to end. I enjoyed working with him. The Sixth Floor is beautiful and if I could do it all over again I would. My day was absolutely perfect in every way. Mr. & Mrs. Jordan

Everything was so amazing and owner Clai was so kind and helpful. If I could do it all over again I would. I absolutely loved it and also got so many compliments.

Clai was amazing throughout the entire process! He works well with people and their budgets. Venue is amazing, our guest had a great time. We took great pictures. Awesome place to have your event. Thank you Clai for everything.

Clai with the Sixth Floor helped make our day so beautiful in so many ways! He was very attentive to our needs and wants. He was available to meet with us whenever we needed and was always a phone call away! Thanks so much Clai for everything!

Claiborne (Thee Best) Green,😁 Working with him was awesome, he was very understanding, helpful, amazing with questions, very accommodating, gave us different business people to work with for planning, gave us different avenues to purchase items,which was a big help! His pricing is affordable, he definitely works with his Bride and Groom😁❤️ he know his stuff and had it all! We are originally from Milwaukee, WI and a year ago we moved to California. In Feb of 2020, we decided to go ahead with Wedding planning . So I planned our wedding from California to Milwaukee which took place on 10/16/20 , 6 months of planning from 2000 miles away and endured every emotion possible but it turned out Beautiful ❤️ The venue was perfect for us, then Covid hit, All the protection and planning Clai was a phone call or a text message or email away! His communication was on point! He kept us updated for safety concerns for Milwaukee, he kept me calm when I was extra nervous. We love Clai❤️❤️and Thank him dearly and I would definitely recommend The Sixth Floor Wedding Venue to anyone! 😁

Clai was absolutely amazing to work with. always made time for me if I was having an emotional moment. the venue was so unique and everyone complimented us on how beautiful it was. Clai coordinated with the other vendors seamlessly and everything went off without a hitch! I can't recommend this place enough, it was truly magical.

Claiborne from the Sixth floor was great to work with especially through the pandemic we are in. My day was beautiful and amazing could not have asked for a better venue. Clai is professional yet very personable. The venue is beautiful and is a perfect setup for a classy wedding at a reasonable price. I loved that you were able to bring your own caterer and our own alcohol in. That really help bring down the cost. Clai was very helpful and even came early the day of the wedding to open the venue so we could start decorating early. I high recommend this venue.

If you are looking for a beautiful and affordable wedding venue, look no further. The 6th floor is a gorgeous event space that can contain the ceremony and reception all in one. Hardwood finishings with white curtains and walls that can transform to your choice of color with lovely uplightning. Then you also get Clai, who is incredibly responsive to any questions and able to help you fit the venue to your needs. Since this is one of the few "bring your own" wedding venues, you can use this amazing space with your choice of vendors. I highly recommend the Sixth Floor. You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding in this classy wedding venue.

This venue was perfect for my wedding vision. It is centrally located in Milwaukee, which makes for a beautiful setting for photos as well as the actual view from the venue. The space is very blank and open, which allows for a ton of creativity both with seating/table arrangements, decorations, and lighting. The space is big enough that I was able to have both my ceremony and the reception there; which was a HUGE perk. Clai, the venue owner, is also incredible and extremely responsive. He helped every step of the way to ensure the day was exactly as I envisioned it. I was so pleased. As an added bonus, the opportunity to provide my own caterer and bar staff was great and helped to keep the day affordable. Overall, I am so glad I chose the Sixth Floor as my wedding venue.

This venue and staff couldn’t have been more perfect for our wedding! Clai was professional, kept his promises and made sure I had everything we wanted and needed for our special day!

Me and my husband got married at the sixth floor and it was everything I was looking for and more , I wanted to cry but my makeup was so beat I didn’t want to mess it up , but clay was so amazing and easy to work with I love him I definitely recommend him please please if you are looking for a wonderful wedding this is the place it’s everything a bride wants . Our wedding date was 7/20/19 it’s a date I will never forget thank you clay .

We had our wedding in November '19 and had a wonderful time and experience. Clai (Owner) takes great pride in ensuring that all of his couples have as many options laid out to them as possible. Having NO exclusivity with ANY vendor (food/alcohol/DJ), allows so much flexibility and cost savings! You can even buy your own alcohol, mixers, sodas, etc. and that saves you thousands! (Must use their bartenders for insurance/liability reasons of course). Clai is quick to respond but his answers aren't always as full or detailed as you may be looking for. Just follow up with him and he will clarify (he will never ignore you!). He is so accommodating that he even left the reception to personally run to Kopp's to get our ice cream that was ordered for our wedding! (Who does that?!) The venue is beautiful as it blends the historic look and feel of downtown Milwaukee with the newer and modern look. Loading/unloading can be a bit challenging due to tight alley way in rear of building (there was also new construction going on next door) but you can also load through front of the hotel. Convenient to many bars and restaurants as well as the new Deer District and interstate! Check it out and we think you'll love it!

They were so helpful! They helped make my more magical! Thank you to entire Sixth Floor crew!!! ❤️❤️❤️

The Sixth floor is an awesome place to have any type of event. We had our wedding on 10/12/19. Let’s just say it was all I could’ve dreamed of. Clai is excellent with helping and giving suggestions. He was readily available for the event for questions or to just help. Can never thank you enough.

Clai was always available for meetings, even if it was last minute. He was accommodating and made sure we had what we wanted. Having the hotel right there was perfect for ending the night safely for all of our guests. There was even a secluded entry to the venue from the 6th floor of the hotel!

Clai was AMAZING and so helpful, the venue was beautiful, affordable and my wedding reception was amazing I couldn’t have asked for better!

We absolutely loved working with the Sixth Floor as our wedding reception venue. Getting to bring in all of our own stuff was an incredible cost savings to us! Right down to bringing in our own beer and alcohol, it's not often you can find a full, open bar for 200+ guests for under $2,500 and working with the Sixth Floor allowed us to do that. In addition to cost savings, the venue was absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on the neat lighting and architecture in the room. And being a Friday wedding, we were able to come in and setup all week long - BIG stress relief for a DIY bride determined to do it all on her own. And when Clai was setting up the room for us, he rearranged it so many times to make sure it was the perfect flow to the room that our guests weren't crowded and we were happy with the layout. Oh, and on the actual wedding day, Clai was present to make sure everything went off flawlessly. He even personally delivered drinks from the bar to the head table to make sure we were all happy. TALK ABOUT SERVICE! Everything was perfection from start to finish. Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to hold their reception!

Clai would get back very quickly via email or phone. Venue was gorgeous. We were able to get in 3 days early to start setting up. Bartenders were awesome all night long. Lighting looked great. Would definitely recommend

The sixth floor is such a unique venue and is so beautiful! With a ton of space and nice open floor plan, the venue can really be whatever you want to make it. It is so affordable compared to other wedding venues and the fact that you get to provide your own caterers and your own bar really can save you a ton of money in the long run. Located in the heart of Downtown Milwaukee, the location is as beautiful as the venue itself! Clai, who runs the venue, is the best! We were from out of town so we needed to have constant contact with him and his responsiveness and helpfulness were all top notch. He really was an instrumental part in helping us plan our special day and we could not have done it without him!

Clai was very flexible with allowing us to be as as creative as we wanted to be with the venue. I’d say Parking was a bit of a challenge due to it Summerfest going on at the same time, but otherwise we were very much pleased with the sixth floor.

When choosing venues, The Sixth Floor was the first one we visited and just walking in, I knew it was "the one". The place is so spacious and absolutely gorgeous! We chose The Sixth Floor because of the endless options. We were able to cater our own food and provide our own alcohol and set up the beautiful space in any way imaginable. Clai is wonderful to work with. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly loves what he does... and it is so evident! He is willing to do anything he can and answers calls, texts, and emails in record time! Our guests raved about the venue and our wedding and it will always be such a beautiful memory to us. Sometimes you just have to just go with your gut and choose the first thing you fall in love with!! Thank you to Clai and The Sixth Floor for making all of our dreams come true!

Clai was absolutely wonderful he was there making sure every aspect of our wedding went as planned and the venue was just beautiful

Where do I start the venue itself is gorgeous the fact that you can bring in outside vendors helps a lot you have clai who is down to earth will do anything that he can to make sure that you have a smooth event, his staph is always helpful pleasent. Trust me you wont be disappointed. Heads up if you're lost on where to look for vendors for decorations anything for events they have so many different referrals

Clai and his Sixth Floor Team are amazing! He even took the reigns when my wedding planner fell through. The guests complimented how kind his team is and how unique and beautiful the venue is. I held a 100 guest wedding, and they never had to leave - which is exactly what I wanted. Once the ceremony finished, the room easily turned into cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Clai is extremely easy to work with, and always responded to me within hours. So glad we pick Sixth Floor as our Venue!!

My name is Elizabeth Jamieson and my husband Thomas and I had our beautiful reception in the SIxth Floor. We are both from Chicago but met in Milwaukee and we have always had a great connection to the city. Since the time we booked our wedding we were so impressed with the service from Claiborne that even up until the day of our wedding he was calling to make sure I was doing great. We cannot thank Claiborne and his team enough for not only creating a beautiful venue but making our day perfect. Our family and friends had a marvelous time. We will highly recommend the Sixth Floor and hope that they have continued success. Thomas and Elizabeth Jamieson

Loved working with the Sixth Floor for our wedding. The event space itself is a blank slate- white walls & natural wood- made for a beautiful backdrop for our wedding theme! And those windows... loved them, especially for the dance floor, very romantic and fun. The space comfortably held our 200 guests, while still feeling intimate. Working with the Sixth floor was great too, Clai was awesome, and always had me so excited for our big day with every detail and design decision we planned!!

I’d like to send out some well-deserved high-praise to Clai Green and the Sixth Floor. The venue floor-plan comfortably held our 200+ guests. Each unique area performed specific purposes throughout the night and served as perfect settings for our celebration. As FOB, I was host, decorator and nervous dad all rolled into one tux. Clai couldn’t have been more hospitable in granting us convenient access for the set-up, tear-down and orchestration of the logistics for my daughter’s wedding reception. We have received nothing but compliments from all who attended. We all are so pleased with the staff, cohesive vendors and cooperation shown from this professional crew. Gordie G. Happy FOB

We had our wedding (ceremony and reception) here and loved it! They were very flexible on catering and bar service which made things a lot easier for us. There was one mis hap with the caterer the day of but it was handled before it was brought to my attention. Both Liz and Clai were very calming to me in the days leading up to and the day of the wedding. I am a bit of a control freak but I had complete faith in Clai and Liz! Liz was very responsive to any questions and concerns I had. When it comes to Liz, my only regret is that I will probably not have an opportunity to plan anything with her again. We had 175 guests and did not use the dance floor for seating. It ended up being a little cramped so I would highly recommend using all the space if you have close to 200 guests. It’s a lovely venue and we highly recommend it!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and you can truly make your vision for the event come to life. Clai is so supportive and willing to help in whatever way to make your night be one to remember.

My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at the Sixth Floor on 11/3/18. Everything went flawlessly. I seriously can't name a single thing that went wrong. The staff was exceptional! I worked with Liz and Clai up until my wedding day. They were always extremely responsive whenever I had any questions. Both were present during the big day and Clai even stayed until the very end. The room flip, which was the part I was most nervous about, went perfectly according to all of my guests. I was nervous that my guests were going to be in the way while the staff flipped the room, but it all went perfectly. Many of my guests told us how much they loved the venue. They also loved the fact that they didn't have to leave for a couple hours until reception time. The only time they left the venue was to get appetizers which I provided in the Plankinton Room on the third floor of the hotel. Everyone had a great time at the wedding. I would highly recommend using Sixth Floor for your wedding or any other party. The staff is accommodating, helpful, knowledgeable, and the venue is very affordable and looks really nice! The best part is that you're able to bring in your own food and alcohol if that's what you prefer. The husband and I decided to buy all the alcohol and hire our own bartenders. It REALLY cut costs and still allowed us to give our guests open bar. You can't go wrong in choosing Sixth Floor as your venue.

The venue was great for our purpose. Intimate and classy. Great sound! We had live music performances and the sound turned out great. The people were easy to work with and anticipated our needs. Overall, a good experience.

October 26, 2018 was the most beautiful day ever!!!!! I’m very happy that I had my wedding at the “Sixth Floor” was my first choice from many venues in downtown Milwaukee. So many memories were made that day and all thanks to Clai for helping us from day one. My day was imperfectly perfect. When things were not going as planned Clai stepped in on our big day and made sure things were going to be perfect, he saved the day !!! I left with so many memories that were made in that beautiful venue me and my Husband are very happy .

Wow! We had the best night of our lives. Clai was there the entire ride. We met him for a tour over a year ago and we immediately hit it off and put a deposit down since spots were filling up. Clai and Liz are extremely responsive day or night and think like true planners. What we loved most is that they pay attention to the smallest details and they are professionals in the wedding industry. They know all sides from catering to floral. We felt comfortable with the layout of the venue and the flow of the service. We are so please and grateful for this journey and we could not thank Clai enough for making our day so special.

Clai was very easy to work with. We had 300+ guest and he made sure to accommodate the space! He made everything smooth and made our special day perfect! Thank you! I will definitely recommend this venue to anyone interested! Thank you! - Judy

Sixth Floor, in downtown Milwaukee, is such a beautiful venue and the staff was so accommodating they made my day so easy for me and I couldn't thank them enough. I decided to have my wedding on a Sunday, so having this flexibility at this venue was perfect! Everything went as planned and my guests and family had an amazing time and were thrilled with the venue and location. My husband, Adi and I definitely recommend the Sixth Floor for a wedding or any event!

I had my daughter engagement party at The Sixth floor on September 21, 2018, and it was amazing. From the time I meet with Clai to book the venue until the actual event was awesome. Clai and Liz were so professional, positive and helpful they answered all my questions. I called Clai a lot with so many questions and he was always readily available and understanding. The day of my event was awesome Liz was so amazing to me and my family and guest. She laughed and talked with us she made sure we had everything we needed. Dawn was awesome as well if I needed something she was there, any questions we had she answered them and was awesome to me, my family and guest. My daughter was some excited she loved the venue and loved the staff. I would recommend the Sixth Floor to anyone looking for an elegant venue and professional and caring team. Thank you all so much I had a blast and will do business with you guys in the future. Clai and Liz are an awesome business team call them today they are awesome.

Clai at the Sixth Floor is wonderful. He was quick to respond and help with anything that I needed. The venue has a unique floor plan which was fun and not like most other hotel spaces. The great thing about this place is that you can bring in your own vendors for everything. We had a few days to setup the venue which made our reception beautiful. We got married at a park nearby but if it would’ve rained they would have set up our ceremony there which is a huge relief to have a plan b at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend Clai and the Sixth Floor.

The Sixth Floor venue's elegance speaks volumes, not to mention the owner's ideas and flexibility. Our DIY wedding dreams came true, thanks Clai! -Mr. & Mrs. Sprewell

Clai, Stacey, and Liz were great to work with!! Easy to contact. The flexibility they have is amazing!!! They go above and beyond for their customers!!!

I am so thankful to Clai and the Sixth Floor for everything!!! My wedding reception was absolutely perfect from the layout to the service!!! Like really, AMAZING!!! But first let me go back to the beginning. Booking with the Sixth floor was the best decision I made concerning my wedding. I found the location on the Knot and I loved the pictures, but when I tell you the place is even more amazing in person!! It is absolutely stunning. The venue was affordable, beautiful, and so conveniently located. Even more so, they are so flexible with everything. I was able to book the venue on the day I toured it. Clai is absolutely the best. He is caring and kind, and he will work magic on your behalf! He did such an amazing job with everything. Thank you so much for everything, Clai!!! Please book The Sixth Floor!!!!

I received so many compliments on this venue from my guests. Clai and Liz were absolutely wonderful to work with to help make our wedding day perfect. They set planning meetings around my crazy work schedule and even accommodated us after we needed to change our date. They even track downed down my great grandmother's brooch that was pinned to my bouquet had been thrown out. Sixth Floor is absolutely wonderful and will go the extra mile for you. The only SLIGHT downside was some tension from the hotel itself. The Sixth Floor is separate from The Hampton Inn and I heard "you'll have to ask someone else about that". It made certain details not flow 100% seamlessly but definitely not a deal breaker. Each vendor was wonderful when covering their jurisdiction, you just need to be aware of which vendor is responsible for what. I would 100% recommend The Sixth Floor for your wedding. It was an absolutely joy and photos taken in the venue are stunning!!

Was such a great experience, professional and very warming very flexible. Beautiful venue and always got back to me on time. Could have not expected anything than the best from clai he's awesome. Helped make my dream wedding come true.

The Sixth floor is an absolutely stunning place. All of our guest LOVED this place. We got married 8/11/18. Everything was perfect! The only downfall is their bartender ran out of liquor and there was no water for our guest. Clai and Liz are super sweet and a delight to work with!

We found the Sixth Floor on The Knot and could not have been happier with the experience as we finally had time to write the review since we were married on August 3rd of this year. When we first met with Elizabeth and Claiborne along with their assistant my husband Todd and I were a little concerned that 220 people would be cramped for our wedding and it was not the least bit. The room fools you with it's design and quite frankly even with 220 guests we were very comfortable. Our wedding was just flawless from the band we had hired to the caterer ( All Occasions ) which the venue recommended even though we could choose any caterer. One thing that really was apparent is the service that the company provides from the day we met and all through our process they were with us. Truly do not know how they handle everyone but they seem to really know what they are doing. Another plus was that we were right in the middle of downtown so many of our out of town guests truly enjoyed the location. My husband and I had such a great wedding and highly recommend this little gem . Our friends are still talking about how wonderful it was! Todd and Jennifer Keegan

Attended a wedding this past weekend and it was nothing but fabulous!! Clai (the owner) was attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating! The venue was so convenient as I could stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites that is connected! Great experience!!!!

I usually am not one to rate a place with 5 stars but our wedding was over the top from our DJ to our hosts of the Sixth Floor. Not only did they recommend a wonderful caterer called All Occasions but the bakery we had was incredible, Lopez bakery off of Mitchell street in Milwaukee. My partner is from Chicago and most of our guests where from out of town so we really wanted to impress everyone and and we did! 5 stars all the way and the small hotel was perfectly situated where all the best neighborhoods are for our guests. We would have never found this place had one of our friends not shared this venue with us. Sixth Floor is located in the hotel but it is in no way like any other venue we have went to for a wedding in a hotel probably because it is owned separately by the hosts of the wedding. My wife and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great place that is very easy to work with and affordable. Kudos to the Sixth Floor!

Booking our reception at Sixth Floor Milwaukee was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. There are many choices for reception venues in Downtown Milwaukee, but none that give you the flexibility to make choices on how you want to handle food and beverage like they do at Sixth Floor. We were able to save significant dollars by handling the bar ourselves - buying the alcohol and hiring bartenders - and were able to provide open bar for our guests for the entire reception. We also were able to choose the caterer that we liked and fit our budget - rather than having to choose from a limited list provided by the vendor. On top of that, Clai and Stacie were extremely responsive, accommodating and hands-on during the planning process and on the day of the event. They went above and beyond what was committed in our contract, which we are extremely grateful for. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding!!!
