Food was excellent, the venue was elegant, and the view was gorgeous. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, and they offer packages that are a great deal (we added on to the silver package and couldn't be happier with what we ended up with). Be aware that you have to be a member at the time of your wedding, and this SIGNIFICANTLY adds to your cost. My only issue with them was with some "hidden costs" that I was unaware of until it was too late to deal with them. They charge you to bring in a cake from somewhere else, but the in house pastry chef won't do certain things (like gum-paste flowers). Additionally, there were some set-up fees that I wasn't expecting, and I was initially told that seat covers and ties were included in the package only to be later told that they were 4 dollars a piece. Despite these issues, we were still very satisfied with the Madison Club.
The brocach was conveniently just across the street from our ceremony venue at the WI State Capitol. The upstairs room and bar has a funky sort of vibe that I loved, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Everyone was very impressed.
The site itself was gorgeous, and in the end it was easy to use, but I did feel that there was a definite lack of communication that left me unsure as to where to go and who to talk to. There is a significant application fee that isn't mentioned anywhere, 750 dollars, but it is refunded after the event if you don't damage anything.
The staff at Blooms did an AMAZING job with our flowers. They were exactly what I had in mind, and they were very accommodating with last minute changes.
Josh did an excellent job at our wedding, I didn't get off the dance floor all night! He was late getting started, but made up for it by giving us the photo booth for the entire night instead of the couple hours we had originally paid for. We had some odd requests for music, and he made all of them happen for us. I know I should be upset about the lateness thing, but the quality of the DJ service totally made up for it!
