Highly recommend holding your wedding reception at the Madison Concourse! Kylie was a huge part in making the day perfect. During the planning process, she answered my many emails quickly, answered any and all questions I had, and was always willing to talk through what the wedding day would look like. On the day of, Kylie checked in with me and my husband multiple times to see if we needed anything and to check if things were going as planned. The reception space (Wisconsin ballroom) we rented was so beautiful as well and the food was AMAZING! We had the perfect day and would recommend the Concourse to anyone looking to have their wedding in the Madison area.
