The Atrium hosts weddings, corporate events, retreats and private parties for up to 220 guests at a seated dinner, with a rooftop garden and greenhouse bar for cocktail hours, small ceremonies and gatherings. The venue stands at 2107 East Capitol Drive in Shorewood, a village on the North Shore of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, six blocks from Atwater Beach.
Seminars and company events
Corporate bookings are sold by the hour, with the space sized to the group. The main floor takes presentations, dinners and receptions, and the production team can supply audio, video, lighting and projection. The rooftop garden and greenhouse can host the cocktail hour after a meeting, or be rented on their own for a smaller team event. Bar packages are run in house by bartenders who also work at Camp Bar, the sister bar two blocks away. Tables, Chiavari chairs, setup and takedown are included in the package.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding package gives nine hours of access, the rooftop garden and greenhouse, tables and Chiavari chairs, built-in sound, perimeter lighting and patio string lights, in-house bar packages, setup and takedown, and a bridal suite. The rooftop suits ceremonies for fewer than 50 guests, a cocktail hour or a break from the dance floor. Entertainment comes from Sound By Design, the in-house partner for DJ and MC, specialty lighting, photo booth and video.
Rooms and capacities
The main room on the ground floor has a glass ceiling with an oversized chandelier, an expansive bar, uplighting, a mounted TV and a built-in sound system, and seats up to 220 for dinner. The rooftop garden on the second floor has high-top tables, lounge furniture, patio heaters, string lights and a gas fire pit. The greenhouse beside it holds a bar and a small covered patio over Capitol Drive; its windows and ceiling panels open in warm weather, and it is heated in winter. The lower level has a lounge with TVs and pool tables, restrooms and private dressing rooms for getting ready.
Catering
The venue shares a preferred caterer list for food, while bar service stays in house, with packages from rail to top-shelf spirits served from the main-floor bar and the greenhouse bar.
