Venues & Event Spaces in Wauwatosa, WI

“My husband and I got married on 9/20/25 at Birch and this was the perfect venue for us and our guests! The first time we walked into the venue I knew it was the one. We were looking for a more intimate space, and I loved all of the backlighting accompanied by the darker space. It felt cozy and was a great space for 82 people. I also loved the outdoor space and all of the greenery and flowers provided by the space was a big win for us as I did not want to buy any flowers. It is a simple space but looks great just on its own!

In the beginning of the planning process, we did get multiple different coordinators which was slightly concerning, but a little less than a year out we met Jaiden. Jaiden turned out to be the best thing for our wedding! It was clear right from the start how knowledgeable she was, and she did a great job communicating with all of our vendors. She also let us visit the venue whenever we wanted to which worked out once we started to practice setting up our decor to see how it would look in the space. On the day of our wedding, we unfortunately had rain that interfered with our plans to have an outdoor ceremony. Jaiden worked tirelessly to try and get us an outdoor ceremony, and we even postponed the ceremony by half an hour. During that time, she monitored the weather and opened the bar, so that guests wouldn't get too antsy while waiting. Last minute we had the ceremony inside, but immediately after we headed outside for pictures and the weather was clear the rest of the night!

The venue provides a His and Hers suites upstairs for getting ready and our wedding party loved this space! It gave us time before the wedding to hangout and relax before getting ready. I had two bridesmaids, so the space was more than enough for the three of us. However, the main getting-ready room for the girls was very dark, so I would suggest bringing more light sources or get ready in the front room space where there is plenty of natural light. I also found out at the end of the wedding night that many people did not understand how the bar worked as we had gone with a consumption tab, so people had been opening their own tabs. I did include this on our website (but we all know 90% of people do not refer to that), but I had also assumed that the bar staff would communicate to the guests how the consumption tab worked. Despite this, the bar staff were excellent, and they had such great attitudes, and we felt like they were part of the fun!

Overall, Birch was an amazing venue and if I had to do it over again, I would pick Birch and Jaiden haha! Although I could do without the rain again. A big thank you to all the staff and everyone at Birch who helped us from start to finish.”

“Joey was great! Not only did he run the whole place with ease, he was super friendly and helped us out a lot. Great experience and kids had a lot of fun. If there were any problems with the lanes, it was fixed right away.”
