Garden’s

All in all, a solid place for a wedding.
PROs — Although I was hesitant, the enforced wedding coordinator (we had April) was actually really helpful. As someone who has never been married before, and hasn’t been apart of any weddings, April was able to help with rehearsal and kept the whole show sailing smoothly.
— There is plenty of parking available (even if you don’t hire a parking attendant)
— Lots of seating indoors
CONs — I really felt as if I was being nickled and dimed to death. They charge you X amount for the ceremony, then make you pay another X amount for a wedding coordinator (which is a member of their family), then try to make you pay for things like pew decorations, parking attendants, etc. I didn’t really feel like I was getting a good value for the price even before the add-​ons they tried selling.
— The speakers apparently broke during a thunderstorm this summer and they hadn’t had a wedding inside since, so there was no sound system for our rehearsal and then during the wedding the mic kept getting feedback or it was so low no one could head
— They do multiple weddings in a day, so you have to pick a certain time slot for your ceremony and then make sure you are in and out before the next wedding. We had a Friday wedding so we were able to leave our decorations overnight on Thursday, but we would not have been able to do that if our wedding was on a Saturday, meaning someone in our wedding party would have had to come in early to set up.
— My Mother-​in-​Law was my contact person for the gardens and she had a hard time getting a call back the week of the wedding. Her emails were never answered
Our ceremony was inside the chapel. It was a little cookie cutter, but it got the job done. If a location inside Milwaukee is out of your budget, this is a good nondenominational option.
