  So happy with our venue

  We are SO happy with our decision to book Lowlands Grand Events - Centraal Grand Cafe & Tappery for our venue space. We initially wanted to elope but decided on a budget friendly smaller wedding (~95 people). We had been to Centraal for dinner and brunch when we lived in Bayview but never knew they could be used as a wedding venue. In our research, I saw a blog post from Married in Milwaukee, where a couple mentioned Centraal was their venue. When we reached out, we learned that there was no venue fee- just a food and drink minimum. After looking at other photos of weddings held in their Gallery/Courtyard Patio - we knew it was the right fit. We also worked with Molly very closely from the Lowlands Event Planning Group who was so great to work with and so flexible. She really brought our vision to life. She was responsive, professional, and helped execute so well. The space was great for us- The brick wall and ivy are so beautiful that we didn't even need much decor to dress it up. All of the tables were modular so we were really able to use the space in a way that made sense for our guests. The deck doubles as a dance floor and it was just the right size for our group. If we had less than 60 people, we could have flipped the space but we had Oscar seating for the quick ceremony and reception which worked out perfectly. Most of the space was outdoor- which was a risk but we ended up with the best weather ever (65-70 F). The space felt so warm and intimate which was exactly the vibe we were going for. Our guests raved about it and for any Chicago folks, guests were comparing it to the cobblestone courtyard in front of Trivoli Tavern/Green street. The food was amazing, we got so many compliments on it. Service was impeccable- bartenders and other service staff were so friendly and professional. Drinks were great! We are so glad we picked Centraal/Lowlands for our venue

  Cafe Centraal was a perfect venue for our bridal shower for 25 women. The room was a perfect size.

  Amber was easy to work with and responded promptly to all emails. We never met in person but she and the staff had everything set up perfectly for our rehearsal dinner at Café Bavaria. The space was excellent and we were allowed to have the upstairs to ourselves. Two televisions were available for slide shows. Reasonably priced for the quality of venue and service. The food was excellent and even exceeded our expectations. Drink service was prompt and staff did a nice job of managing a large amount of orders for a big group.
