#1 Reason to Book a Corporate Event at These 7 Milwaukee Venues

Milwaukee is one of those cities that truly embraces its locality. It’s bursting at the seams from the sheer amount of vibrant restaurants, culturally diverse businesses and one-of-a-kind celebrations. Though this is a good thing, it can make finding a venue slightly overwhelming. It’s not that there aren’t enough venues to host a corporate event in this Midwest melting pot, it’s that there are so many excellent ones to consider.

Luckily, an experienced event planner and avid Milwaukeean can walk you through some of the city’s best spots to experience with your team or corporate guests. The type of event, room size and style, parking accommodations and price—these are all important factors we take into account in choosing the right venue for you. In this post, we offer seven different venues to consider for your next corporate event.

Miller Room

Reason #1: Location, location, location

The number one reason to host a corporate event at Miller Room is—you guessed it—the location. Business professionals depend on the convenience of this venue since it’s in the bustling center of Milwaukee, just a short walk away from other downtown businesses.

Though the location is important, it’s the inside of the Miller Room that counts, too. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer astounding views of the lakefront during any season. If you’re going to be in a room filled with up to 250 of your esteemed colleagues all day, why not discuss important matters in a room built to inspire?

The outside terrace is perfect for breathers and breakout sessions, while the main room is ideal for meetings, conferences, luncheons and dinners. The Miller Room is also equipped with a modern sound system, multi-level lighting, a lectern and blackout capabilities.

Last but certainly not least—the parking is unbeatable. It’s covered, and guests would never need to step foot into the possible inclement weather.

Coast

Reason #1: Meetings on the lake

This venue is a tribute to Milwaukee’s incredible lakefront, carefully crafted to make guests feel like they’re not getting a good view—they’re a part of it. People remember a good presentation, especially if the best of Milwaukee is in the backdrop. Provide your guests with a place where they can expand their minds.

Professionals also appreciate Coast for its breakout spaces for entertaining multi-faceted functions. These breakout areas accommodate small and/or large groups by separating each room into multiple spaces, OR by utilizing both rooms together!

Invite up to 400 guests for this coastal business experience and enjoy modern amenities like multi-level lighting, in-room music capabilities and Wi-Fi.

BONUS REASON: Miller Room and Coast on-site catering kitchen

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention Coast’s and Miller Room’s outstanding on-site culinary team, which provides fresh and unique catering options for all types of business events—breakfasts, luncheons, happy hours, casual dinners, formal dinners and all-day meetings. Hot food and cold food, made from scratch and delivered right to your guests.

North & South Gardens

Reason #1: Blank page spaces

Zilli’s North & South Gardens offers multifaceted outdoor spaces where your corporate guests can really spread out and mingle. The North Gardens features a lush, green field with ample room for tables. The South Gardens boasts a common walkway with stage lights—perfect for any nighttime entertainment. Together the gardens serve as the ultimate canvas. Fill it with outdoor furniture, tents, tables and more.

Just like Miller and Coast, the North & South Gardens offers incredible views of Milwaukee, convenient parking and on-site catering.

This bright “glass house” is surrounded by the historic Mitchell Park and is in close proximity to some of the hottest nightlife establishments and top hotels.
