The Loft on Broadway is an amazing venue for your wedding or party. It is located right in the heart of the Third Ward in Milwaukee and is easily accessible. Sarah, the venue man...

ager, is great to work with and was always available to answer our questions. The venue itself provided the perfect space for cocktails and appetizers in the large bar room including lounge seats, large windows overlooking Broadway Street and beautiful cream city brick walls. The gorgeous wood doors then opened to invite our guests into the large dining room area. Our dance floor was also located in this large room. The lighting set the perfect mood for dinner and dancing in this amazing space. We highly recommend The Loft for your wedding and party needs.

What a beautiful venue with so much character. The venue and the venue team were great. This venue has the beautiful cream city brick and has a great lounge area for cocktail hour....

It already has some pretty strong lights in the ceiling in the main ballroom, so not much extra decorating was necessary with how much character the space had. This venue was also very affordable which we greatly appreciated. Sarah answered all our questions so promptly which made for a stress free set up of the space. This space now has a bridal suite too, which is always helpful!

ng to have to worry about the venue on the day of. They even went out of their way to bring in a specific beer that isn't necessarily local to the area for us. The venue was ready and all set up to go upon our guests arrival. One really cool thing about this venue is that there is a completely separate bar area with lounge booths so guests that don't want to dance can hang out in a separate area during the reception after dinner rather than being stuck at their tables. If you're looking for a "classic" Milwaukee vibe, this is the place to be. We had 170 guests and ended up having to take down 2 tables for the dance floor, but it didn't seem to bother us or any of our guests!

s plan from a far. I was concerned about having our wedding and reception in the same room, but The Loft did an exceptional job of making the ceremony and reception feel like separate areas. I couldn’t recommend this venue more and it was truly perfect for our Milwaukee wedding!

The owner, Meilyn, and sales/planner, Sarah, could not have been more accommodating. Trendy venue in the Historic Third Ward. Bar service was excellent and long time relationships ...

with caterers, contribute to outstanding food and service. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended! As the Father of the bride, I’m biased, but concur. On a very special day, our experience was flawless!
