Villa Terrace Venue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum tops our list of best Milwaukee wedding venues. Every corner of this space is gorgeous and full of character. It is the perfect wedding venue for couples who love European architecture, timeless aesthetics, and romantic views.
Why We Love It
Location
You get the most stunning views of Lake Michigan as the terrace peers over the gorgeous waters. It’s so close to home that it’s like a destination wedding without having to leave the country. Additionally, the Villa Terrace Milwaukee is only a couple hours outside of Chicago which makes it a possible choice for Illinois residents.
Portraits Can Be On-Site
We love venues that provide plenty of photo opportunities. This eliminates the need to travel to a separate location for wedding portraits. Moving people, especially groups of people, from place to place can be stressful and take up time on a wedding day. The Villa Terrace provides many gorgeous outdoor options for the dreamiest wedding photos. The interior is the perfect backup option for a potentially rainy day wedding.

There Is Nothing Like It
You will not find another European-inspired venue like this in the Midwest. It truly is a unique gem that transport you to Italy.
