Veterans Terrace is a classic but modern wedding venue that is nestled right in historical, downtown Burlington, Wisconsin. With 16 foot ceilings and a ballroom that is surrounded by 9ft windows on three sides, the White River, Echo Lake and Echo Park create the nature-lovers dream back-drop for any occasion.
Facilities and Capacity
The Liberty Hall has nearly 6,000 square feet of wide-open floor space that can seat up to 400 guests in total. Your loved ones can enjoy your reception underneath the romantic crystal chandeliers and dance the night away to music from your DJ or band on the spacious dance floor. The ballroom's large windows will allow you and your guests to enjoy stunning views of Echo Lake, Echo Park and the White River. For outdoor ceremonies, the Memorial Terrace adorns a gorgeous brick construction and is surrounded by lush hydrangea bushes, roses, perennials and spacious green lawns for a touch of natural beauty. Smaller winter weddings and prenuptial events will be welcome to use the versatile Patriot Hall or the intimate Stars and Stripes Room. At night, couples and guests can admire the LED-lit Echo Lake dam (color chosen by our couple), which adds an effervescent glow to the celebrations. Our The Memorial Terrace, with the street lamps above and cocktail lights overhead, is also the perfect romantic spot for a first dance or sparkler photo.

Best place to get married! Every single staff member is amazing! My dad made a comment that in terms of staff and their organization and knowledge and keeping the schedule and flow of the night that this was the best venue of all the weddings he has been a part of, the getting ready room was also so crucial for setting the mood and letting us stay relaxed while we prepped for our wedding! The dance floor being available while guests stayed upstairs made us feel like we had a very intimate private moment where we could just chat a bit and take it all in. We also had our wedding outdoors and it was perfect! I honestly will always and forever be grateful to veterans terrace for making my dream wedding not only come true, but also as stress free and enjoyable as possible! If I ever need to throw an event as big as a wedding I hope to be able to book veterans terrace - by far the best venue to book not just in burlington, but the surrounding area including milwaukee! They definitely really care about their brides and grooms! Reviewed on 13-07-2023

Their decorations package includes many beautiful options and allowed us to really not worry about a thing the day of. Many of our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the venue was for multiple days! It was SO NICE to have the ceremony and the reception all in one beautiful building. Allison and Beth are great to work with, and they were very patient with this anxious bride! Weddings are expensive, but we found the convenience and beauty of the Veteran's Terrace to be worth the price. Reviewed on 07-03-2023
Alyssa Riggs(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 First and foremost, thank you Beth, Allison, and crew for going above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing! Beth and Allison had consistent communication with us during our planning months and when the weather was less than ideal on our wedding day, they did everything they could behind the scenes to ease our stress and make our vision come to life indoors. We truly mean it when we say it was absolutely perfect! The set-up for the ceremony and reception was not only beautiful for pictures, but comfortable for our guests, the decorations and lighting provided in their package was gorgeous, and the bartenders and barback were personable and ensured our guests were happy all night long. To top it off, the staff did all the set-up, as well as the take down at the end of the night so we could truly enjoy our night to the very last minute with our family and friends. For a party that will happen only once in a lifetime, we couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Reviewed on 10-11-2022
Courtney Radandt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 Veterans Terrace was an absolute breeze to work with. From start to finish, Beth and Allison were so helpful with planning and executing. The day of the wedding, we had nothing to deal with since we chose the decorating package. There was a chance of rain for our wedding and they waited to set up our ceremony outside until we knew for sure if the weather would cooperate. I can not say enough nice things about this venue and these women :) Reviewed on 15-09-2022
Graciela Gonzalez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2022 Allison and Beth are the best to work with! We were nervous booking early 2021 due to the pandemic but they put our minds around ease moving forward. We had our ceremony and reception 8/20/22. Beth our first initial meeting made us feel like we were family and she made sure we got the most for our money. We felt like we knew her for years and were way more comfortable moving forward than other venues we have looked at. Veteran's Terrace offered a decoration and light package and I recommend to any future bride to take full advantage of this! They set it up and take it down you just tell them what you want. I was nervous but everything came out SO beautiful! They made sure our day went perfectly even with a forecast of thunderstorms, high winds, hail and an isolated tornado 🙃. The weather worked out perfectly like they said it would and we had our perfect ceremony on the terrace outside. Our friends and family are still raving that it was the best wedding they have been to! We will continue to recommend the special staff at Veterans Terrace. Reviewed on 02-09-2022
Monica Ahn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2022 I don’t even have the words to express how magical our wedding was at Veterans Terrace. I’m not even exaggerating when I say, it is THE MOST PERFECT wedding venue. There are so many gorgeous spots for photos, we didn’t even have to leave the grounds. We held our ceremony outdoors on the Memorial Terrace and I made my grand entrance with my dad from the top of the staircase, which was so fun and special. We also did our first dance on the terrace under the beautiful lights, while the sun was setting, with our guests watching from the balcony above… still gives me goosebumps. The venue is set in the perfect location with the river on the western side to capture beautiful sunset photos. I can’t even count how many guests commented on how beautiful the grounds and reception hall were. We even had many people tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. They just renovated their reception ballroom and it is modern, majestic, and stunning. Also, Beth the general manager is so personable and was so easy to work with. Allison, the event coordinator also was amazing. She was so organized and accommodating and never once made me feel bad for asking a thousand questions. In fact, she made us feel confident and relaxed because she handled everything so professionally. Both Beth and Allison went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty on our special day. Veterans Terrace is the full package and is set up perfectly to host an unforgettable wedding. If we could do it all over again (and I wish we could!) we would not change a single thing. Thank you so much to Beth, Allison, and the amazing crew at Veterans Terrace! Reviewed on 25-05-2022

Shelby Adkins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-02-2021 Veterans Terrace was a great venue for our wedding. The facility offers ample space to accompany any event ideas you may have with any amount of people you may want to host. The staff was 10/10 from the very beginning, to the end of the night. The staff takes charge of the event so the host can sit back and enjoy the event, and that is truly a life saver. Their lighting package brought the entire room together just the way we had imagined. In our opinion, Veterans Terrace offers the best bang for your buck when shopping for event venues, especially because the staff goes above and beyond what you would ever expect.

Allison helped work out all the details, give us recommendations for Covid restrictions, and help with any questions that we had.

I can't even count how many compliments we got on the venue's beauty. We chose VT because of its value and beauty (river, terrace, etc) and because of its proximity to the hotel, bars, and park for pictures. The proximity saved us $$ on transportation. It rained on our big day and Bill was very helpful with changing the ceremony space. Bill responded promptly to our questions pre-wedding and was very easy to work with.
