St. James 1868 | Milwaukee Event & Wedding Venue

As a photographer I have been to over 100 different venues and St James is at the very top of my favorites list. The uniqueness, the beauty, the timelessness, but most importantly the staff !!!! They are professional, efficient, kind, and the most amazing room flippers. They also ensure I get my shots I need & ensure me and my team are taken care of! St James is home 🤍

As a luxury wedding musician, it was my pleasure to perform at St. James 1868 for my client’s special day. Everything about this venue is drop dead gorgeous — the architecture is stunning and the acoustics on the second floor where the wedding ceremony was held were so crisp and beautiful that I hardly needed any amplification for my instrument! A huge thank you to the staff, with a shoutout to James, for giving the absolute most professional assistance with loading/unloading my harp, spotting me while I moved the instrument throughout the venue, and even assisting me with carrying the harp down a flight of stairs. They helped me feel very at ease and welcome during the wedding day. My experience with St. James 1868 was a very memorable one and I look forward to being back sometime! ~Harpist Lauren McCombe

My sister got married here in August and it was the most stunning and perfect day all thanks to the gorgeous venue and amazing staff at St. James!! We could not have asked for a better day. The staff was so helpful and kind and every part of the venue is so beautiful and thoughtful. Wish we could relive this day over and over again!!

St. James 1868 is beautiful!!! We went for a concert. Candlelight on Strings. The music was incredible! I can't wait to go back!

St. James 1868 was and is absolutely amazing! The moment we toured St. James we knew that it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Looking back now we know we made the right choice. St. James is truly stunning and the staff is exceptional. We could not have asked for anything more from our wedding day, it was truly a perfect day. From the beginning of planning Kelsey was extremely organized and kind. This helped eased the stress of planning such a large and important event. Furthermore, Danielle was our month of coordinator and truly made our event go off without a hitch. She helped coordinate everything from the smallest details to all of our vendors. She was also extremely kind and we felt confident putting our day in her hands. When you are planning your wedding you know that it will be the largest event of your life and you want it to go perfectly, with St. James 1868 it will. Thank you St. James 1868 for making our dream come to life.

St. James was the very first, and only venue we toured because the moment we walked in, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. It is absolutely stunning, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning of the planning process through our wedding day, every single staff member was organized, professional, and so kind. They never missed a detail and made the entire experience feel effortless. Their communication and coordination were outstanding, and we always felt like we were in great hands. Most importantly, they made our wedding day everything we had dreamed of and more. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or a better team to bring our vision to life. I truly cannot recommend St. James enough to any couple looking for the perfect place to get married!

My husband and I attended the 90s hip hop preformance and it was amazing! Many head bobs and you could really feel the songs! Great preformance
