i am wondering if others have had positive or negative experiences renting the milwaukee county historical society? my fiance and i were set to book the venue for our reception, and then the coordinator took two weeks to get back to us (and we followed up by phone, email frequently)! so, i'm feeling hesitant to book the venue because i am planning from out of town (even though it's so pretty). our other option is the lakeview tent at pier wisconsin -- it is only slightly more expensive for a sunday wedding, and the coordinator is very responsive and helpful (though perhaps more work to give the tent more "character").
thank you so much for your thoughts!
