Denizen MKE

Ready to be inspired? Step inside Denizen. We are here to bend traditions, do the unexpected, and build an event that’s authentically yours.

The Reception Space

All white interior with a touch of black and white. Modern, black and white forest mural makes a statement and adds a touch of design to the space. Wooden beaded chandeliers add texture and depth to the space. Guests will be seated at a mix of round and rectangle tables. There are touches of wood & brass throughout the space to add some warmth and dimension to the venue.

The Al Fresco Lounge

Our outdoor space offers a large patio and grass area for ceremonies. Lounge furniture, market umbrellas, heaters and table seating for your guests give the perfect outdoor space to enjoy the Wisconsin Summer. The Patio will not be completed until 2024. Here is an inspo pic to help you imagine the space.

Getting Ready

Our private restrooms give an added touch of luxury. Get ready in our lux washroom suites and then hit the lower level den for some relaxation while your guests start to arrive. Inclusivity and diversity is important to us. That’s why each of our restrooms are handicap accessible, unisex and private.

The Bar

The bar at Denizen offers craft cocktails, local brews and a selection of wines and champagne for your day. Specialty glassware gives a glamourous feel and adds a touch of surprise to your event. If you’re looking for a completely outdoor event, we can setup an outdoor bar on the patio.

Washington Park

This spring view of Historic Washington Park offers just a glimpse of the beautiful photo opportunities right outside of Denizen’s doors. Our event space overlooks the park, making it feel like an escape. Washington Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same designer of The Capitol in Washington D.C. and Central Park in New York.
