Deck Those Halls — Memorable Wisconsin Holiday Events in Banquet and Reception Halls

Yes, you did see it. That was tinsel and glitter on display in the stores … in September! Tis’ the season to start thinking about the ho-ho-ho-holidays! And what better place for your holiday happening than a hall? Whether located in a hotel or an event center, halls offer a host of amenities, food options, and wide open spaces that you simply can’t find anywhere else.

With the twinkling lights of a festive city scape, cozy, comfortable rooms on site, mouthwatering menu options and spacious event facilities, a hotel banquet hall downtown might just be at the top of your wish list. With the option of an overnight stay for your guests, plus the convenience of a centrally located urban venue, Wisconsin hotels like The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee; Hyatt Regency Green Bay; and Holiday Inn + Suites Madison West and The Madison Concourse Hotel + Governor's Club in Madison; are like the gifts that keep on giving. On-site bar/lounge, nearby restaurants and walking distance to shopping, theaters and more, might just tempt your attendees to gift themselves with more than a single night’s stay.

However, if your guests will be arriving via reindeer-pulled sleigh or the more contemporary airplane, it might be nice to claim a space a little closer to the airport. Many airport hotels not only offer shuttle services for their guests, but boast gorgeous guest rooms, onsite restaurants, lounges and catering, amazing banquet spaces, as well as business centers, fitness centers, and indoor pools. For these plus other amenities galore, your guests will have a holly jolly time at the Best Western PLUS Milwaukee Airport Hotel + Conference Center or the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee Airport in Milwaukee.

Baby, it might be cold outside, but your event is really going to heat up when it’s held in the country at a resort. Spacious ballrooms, onsite catering of buffet or plated dinners, professional staff, beverage service, plus comfortable guest rooms and gorgeous grounds make them something you’d probably ask Santa to deliver. But there’s no need when all that and more is available at places like The Abbey Resort.

Falalalala, there’s nothing more fun than congregating at a casino. Not only do you typically have banquet halls that hold hundreds, but your guests can also revel in exceptional food and service, onsite hotels, onsite shopping, renowned entertainment, and of course, gaming. Bet you can’t find anyplace better, so when it comes time to choose you’ll definitely want to consider Potawatomi Hotel + Casino, Menominee Casino Resort, or Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells.

Reindeer games really ramp up at reception halls. Whether they’re onsite at entertainment destinations like Road America with year-round racing, Dave + Buster's Wauwatosa with bowling and arcade games, or elegant and unique venues like Badger Farms, Milwaukee Art Museum, Harley-Davidson Museum, EAA Aviation Center, or SentryWorld Sport Center + Golf Course, your guests are sure to be impressed.  

It’s really the most wonderful time of the year when you can have a holiday happening at a space that’s beyond grand. Consider the classics with a soiree at the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center.

Big or small, when you deck those halls, your event is sure to rock all the way around the yuletide tree! Check out our complete listing of Wisconsin banquet halls and hotel banquet halls for events here.
