Wonderful venue - terrific service!

Mom of groom, here. (Actually, mom of one of the grooms!) Filament is a lovely venue, and the service - led by Bella, our coordinator - was outstanding. Our guests all loved the space and the perfect vibe. It was the perfect accommodation for our approximately 100 guests. We had a blast!

we absolutley recommend the Filament for any event!

Our wedding day was perfect and we wouldn't change a thing! The filament is an amazing venue with everything you could need! Nick was our coordinator and went above and beyond to make sure our big day went smoothly and most of importantly, that everyone had fun! They definitely have the wedding biz down pat and were flexible, provided excellent guidance and support in planning. The parking & bridal suite on site are available at an extra cost, it was SO convenient worth it. They work exclusively with Milwaukee Airwaves as their DJ, and after working with Kevin, we totally understand why! A big thanks to all the staff at Filament!!

Perfect Venue

We had our wedding reception at Filament this September and couldn't have asked for a better day and team to work with! We immediately knew Filament was the perfect place for us to celebrate when we toured it. We're very impressed by their staff, company culture, and beauty/ambience of the venue. Our venue coordinator, Olivia, went above and beyond for us. Her communication was excellent and her energy helped make the planning process fun and less stressful. Filament's bar service and DJ they work with, Milwaukee Airwaves, was also exceptional. We're so grateful and happy we chose Filament and highly recommend them!
