This former warehouse – turned nightclub – underwent an extensive redesign to become our (now) multi-award winning, Ivy House. Much to our excitement, the renovation exposed a beautiful wall of cream city brick behind the stage — a Milwaukee staple jackpot! To us, it’s all about how you feel when you walk into a space. The right blend of uniqueness and detail, but with just enough to allow you to dream up your own, styled event.

Live greenery inside and out is important to us — so installing skylights and a functioning glass garage door to allow light to pour in all year round was a no-brainer. This natural light keeps the photos stellar and the plants happy. The statement bar was crafted from bleacher boards from Grafton Middle School (seat numbers still intact!) to re-purpose materials and for a unique aesthetic. Ivy hangs from the bar’s pergola and the ballroom’s beams.

Fernweh Patio Bar was created as an extension of the interior space to match the same ivy-drenched decor. The 360-degree concrete-clad bar allows for a quick round of drinks and easy conversation at the corners.

The Penthouse, also used as a get-ready suite, has all the amenities needed to feel right at home. And the Green Room, right off the main ballroom, is the perfect place to sneak away to if you need to catch your breath or prepare for the next main event.
