131 W Seeboth Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204
Located in the midst of Milwaukee’s Fifth Ward, Filament is a wedding venue that was created to help you host truly legendary celebrations. The space borrows from a variety of different styles, offering industrial beams, rustic wood, and exposed brick. The venue is a part of the Two Birds Event Group and offers hospitality unlike any other! This group has been responsible for over 500 events and cannot wait to add your wedding to their portfolio. From impeccable aesthetics to top-of-the-line amenities, Filament has everything you need to host your dream celebration.
Filament is an indoor-only venue that will provide you with a breathtaking space for your wedding. The interior can accommodate up to 200 guests. The room features walls with exposed pale bricks and antique windows that let natural light stream into the space. The ceiling features wooden rafters with exposed pipes. Wooden support beams are evenly placed throughout the room, and the floors are covered in polished concrete. For your ceremony, you can set your altar at the front of the room, with the soft lighting of the windows serving as your backdrop. The area is easily elevated with your flower arrangements, and many couples choose to add drapery to contrast the industrial space. Others choose to utilize the antique ladder hanging from the ceiling to make a lush floral focal point.
Once your ceremony is over, your guests can head over to the large indoor bar, where they can enjoy some custom cocktails. While this bar is quite big, some couples opt to rent out the venue’s portable rolling bar for their cocktail hour. With this option, you have the freedom to style the bar however you’d like for your pictures. During this time, your guests are going to get to explore this spectacular venue. You can place furniture in front of the accent botanical wall so they have plenty of photo ops!
Your reception will be in the same room as your ceremony. Don’t worry; this space gives you plenty of room for celebration! The venue has a stage for your entertainment. Whether you are booking a DJ or want a full band, you will be able to have the perfect act to keep your party going! The staff members of the venue are experts when it comes to transforming the space. They will make sure the room becomes reception-worthy in no time flat! You can spend hours dancing before it’s time for your guests to line up for your send-off.
While Filament wedding venue is going to be there to make sure your day runs smoothly, it offers one singular space for your day, meaning you will have to find somewhere else to get ready ahead of the ceremony. Luckily, the central location of the venue gives you plenty of options, including several luxurious hotels. You can rent out a suite or two and have a spacious place where you can get ready ahead of your ceremony. You will be within walking distance of the venue, and you’ll have a comfortable place to crash once the celebration is over.
Filament was created with your pictures in mind! With the venue, you can use the botanical accent wall as a backdrop for both your individual portraits and your couple’s pictures. The brickwork will also give you a textured backdrop for these pictures. Some couples choose to bring in a neon light over the venue’s vintage furniture for an iconic picture! Once your ceremony is over, you can head out into the city streets and take some pictures downtown. The venue will put you near several restaurants and breweries that you can use for these portraits. You will also want to snap some pics in front of the venue so you can always remember the venue that made your day so magical!
