We couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for us than the Myrick Park Center!
We booked this space because we wanted something unique, intimate, and natural and this venue ...
checked all the boxes.
Tammy and her team were great to work with throughout the planning process - from answering our questions, taking lots of random building measurements, and even shifting our rental hours just a few weeks before the wedding. Planning from a few hours away could not have been easier.
We rented the whole venue for the weekend, and did our ceremony & happy hour in the atrium and served dinner in the Marshview room.
The staff on site during our rental time went above and beyond making sure everything was running smoothly while staying behind the scenes.
The cherry on top was that our rental fee went towards their WisCorp efforts.
We were allowed to bring in all of our own vendors, and could serve beer & wine (no liquor). We did lots of DIY decorating to spruce up the space but tried to bring the natural bits to light (the eagle & falcon displays) rather than cover them up. We also rented the new fairy lights and had them installed ahead of time - well worth the extra $$$!
A note for anyone planning an outdoor ceremony - check the schedule for the nearby UW football stadium! If they're playing a game or running an event, the announcers can be heard clearly from the Park Center!
