The Box

Jamie and Jaime were absolutely amazing and I can't even imagine our wedding having been at any other venue! We fell in love with this space from our very first visit and it was the perfect backdrop for our big day. Jaime was so helpful kept everything running smoothly all night. The layout was tailored specifically for our wedding and came out better than we could have imagined. All night our guests raved about how much they loved the downtown space! I cannot recommend The Box enough. Thank so much for an amazing experience!!

Wow- where do I even start? The Box MKE was above and beyond exceptional wedding venue. Jaime helped me create a perfect place for my day. She was extremely knowledgable and creative in creating a custom plan for my husband and I. The venue it's has so much character that we really didn't need to decorate much. Cream-city brick, hardwood floors, candles, natural light, lounge areas- I could go on and on. From start to finish The Box exceeded every expectation I had for a venue. I would highly recommend booking here!

The Box MKE is a beautiful venue in a great location and was a perfect fit for both our wedding ceremony and reception. Jamie was so fun to work with and really knows her stuff. She replied to our emails (usually within minutes, even late in the evening) and was so helpful. Pricing was fair and transparent, but more importantly, it was flexible. We could use whatever caterer we wanted, except you did have to use their bar. They have many options/add-ons, and if you didn't want theirs, you could bring your own or get them from elsewhere. I would host another event there in a heartbeat!

We had a great experience with Jamie and Jaime as well as their event manager and bartenders. The space is amazing in itself, but their set up day of was beyond our expectations.

We absolutely loved working with Jamie and Jaime! Every time we communicated with them which was a lot leading up to the wedding day, they made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with. They were very responsive, knowledgable and understanding. Their bar staff was incredible. The entire team at The Box made our wedding day feel so special. The bar staff was quick and super friendly. I would highly recommend booking your wedding there.

The Box was exactly the place we needed for our wedding. The space actually has so much character and we had complete flexibility to set it up in a way that fit our wedding. We were able to bring in our own preferred vendors and didn't have to limit our selection to a hard set list. We were able to pay by the hour, which is wonderful because other venues had absurdly high minimums.

The venue was great and the staff was so kind. They did a wonderful job at decorating the space with the decor we brought it. It was so easy to work with them and all of the caterers we brought in. Made our day so easy! The only thing that is not so great is parking and for some reason wires got crossed and there wasn't validation for parking. Overall though, it was a great experience!

The Box was perfect! Jamie and Jaime were so great to work with, they literally answered every single question I had and made sure everything ran smoothly. Can’t say enough about how much I loved the venue and how perfect it was for our reception of about 175 people. I’d definitely recommend this hidden gem for any Milwaukee wedding (that’s on the smaller side).

We got the opportunity to work closely with Jamie B. and Jaime L. during our wedding planning experience. They were both wonderful! We threw a late-evening, cocktail-style wedding, and I was nervous about the logistics since weddings are usually a more traditional all-day event – but they were both very knowledgeable on our style of wedding, and were seemingly always available to answer questions. They totally understood the vibe that we were going for, and knew how to handle the logistics. Jamie B. did hand off our wedding to Jaime L. without telling us, which resulted in a little confusion about a month before the wedding – but it all worked out in the end! We were in good hands either way. As an added bonus, The Box has so much of their own décor on hand that we barely needed to bring anything in to complete the look. That night, the room looked literally exactly how I had pictured in my head – amazing! The event went perfectly smoothly from start to finish. We’re so glad that we went with this venue for our big day!

We had our wedding reception at The Box in September and it was such a great venue in a fantastic location! We had our ceremony at the Milwaukee Athletic Club and our guests stayed at the Milwaukee Marriott Downtown, so everything was within walking distance which was really important to us! The Box has the perfect interior, with classic finishes (wood flooring, Milwaukee's famous cream city brick and exposed ceilings), which created such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding and complimented our décor perfectly. Jaime and Jamie were great to work with, very responsive and helped us overcome any hurdles we ran into. The day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and we had so many compliments from our guests. Thank you to Jaime and Jamie for helping us pull off one of the best nights of our lives!

As a DJ I have had the privilege of working with a lot of planners and venues all over Wisconsin and Northern Illinois for weddings. It is safe to say that the only place I would Ever not recommend is The Box MKE. Jamie was the most unprofessional planner/Manager I have ever seen. I was appalled at the way she treated both the Bride and Groom's family. Even more so the way she treaded the catering vendors. Their staff refused to clear plates off of tables after the dinner. The mother of the Groom actually started walking around clearing tables! It got so bad that my Assistant, who also happens to be my fiancé, felt the need to start clearing tables as well so the mother of the Groom didn't have to. As far as amenities there is only 1 bathroom stall for women, and one for men. There was one garbage can in the hall, and back by the bar they just put open garbage bags on the floor. Food, and garbage was falling out of them onto the floor where people were walking. If that wasn't enough, Jamie decided that she no longer wanted to deal with the complaints that she was receiving and walked out not even half way through the reception. I feel absolutely terrible that the Bride and grooms family were treated the way they were. On a day where they should be celebrating the marriage of their children they were left frustrated, and in tears because of how the management treated them. As a member of the service industry it is our job to do anything possible for the people we are working for. In the end they are our employers., and To see someone handle their their job with such disregard for their customers was disgusting. If you are looking for a venue I highly suggest you go elsewhere.

Jamie at The Box was great! She was so laid back and made our wedding ceremony into a wonderful place to be. The box offers seating and a bar that they set up. Jamie was there the day of the wedding and made sure everything went smoothly!

I'm totally "Team J"! When we were shopping around for a reception venue, I knew The Box MKE was IT right after the first email correspondence. They were/are so attentive, accommodating, affable! I would definitely recommend this downtown, urban-chic venue for ANY event!!

We had our wedding (both the ceremony and the reception) here and it was AMAZING! Jaime and Jamie are the best! The venue was gorgeous, everything was set up beautifully, our day of was seamless, the staff was organized, helpful, and so very kind and loving to us and all of our guests. It's a beautiful place, run by the best people, with an amazing staff. We wish we could give The Box more than 5 stars. We highly recommend The Box.

If you want unique and romantic, the Box MKE has it! The Jamies are amazing to work with! We were so happy with how our wedding turned out.

The Box was perfect. They recently moved to Wisconsin Ave. Right around the corner from their previous location. It's gorgeous. It's spacious but also feels intimate. The owners are truly wonderful to work with. They have beautiful decor pieces that really brought the space together. I wanted a unique wedding venue--and this is truly what I wanted. If you're interested in a venue that's chic, but still very Milwaukee (cream city brick and all), this is your place.

Brand new space with new fixtures and a really nice style. However, I recommend it for work events, galleries, wedding, etc. mostly because the owners are amazing people and working with them is so much fun. They made our wedding better just to have them involved and made sure that every detail was customized how we wanted it.
