I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding here this past April. The Historic Courthouse 1893 is an absolute hidden gem in Waukesha. The architecture of the whole building is stunning.I am blown away of the getting ready areas for the gals and guys! Lots of room to spread out - definitely a great option to the usual Wisconsin barn wedding.The ceremony and reception space is spacious and is beautifully lit naturally and a DJ can really add a pop with extra uplighting.The on-site staff were super helpful throughout the day and extremely friendly. I look forward to shoot here again!

This place is gorgeous and had plenty of room for the event that I attended. Helpful and fun staff, great food, so much room for fun with friends and family. Other businesses close by as well so the party can go on after you're kicked out!

An elegant, beautifully-built venue that served as a gorgeous backdrop for my friend's wedding. The staff helped keep the ceremony and the reception moving along seamlessly and efficiently. Everyone was kind, professional, and contributed to the overall positive energy of the wedding day. I would like to specifically name Karin, Dave, and Jason as key players in maintaining the high energy throughout the night; I'd also like to thank Nicolette (spelling?), who I did not personally meet, but who I am told was responsible for orchestrating these efforts. Thank you for making my friend's night (and all her guests' night, for that matter) a magical one.

My husband and I recently held our wedding with Chef Jack's at The Historic Courthouse 1893 and I CANNOT recommend them enough! The day was an absolute dream thanks to the wonderful staff at Chef Jack's. Throughout the whole planning process, they were friendly, professional, flexible and responsive. They answered all questions I had and made everything so much easier on me. It was clear Chef Jack's knew how to throw events! They brought so much experience and knowledge to help me plan the perfect day while still accommodating my wants.When it then came to the wedding day, the coordinators just handled everything! I heard from numerous people how the bride and groom (but especially the bride) don't actually enjoy their wedding day with all the running around. That could not be less true for me thanks to Chef Jack's! They handled setup, all day of coordination, problem solving, tear down, just everything! Even got us plates of food so we could eat while people came up to us! I can't tell you how thankful I am that I got to actually LOVE my wedding because of Chef Jack's. No worrying about moving decor, getting the late-night snack at a certain time, vendor management, or anything. I got to just drink and dance with my loved ones it was absolutely magical! We got SO much praise about the space, the food, the atmosphere, the party! The groom's suite was of course a huge hit! And if you're worried about locking in a caterer with the venue, don't! The food was nothing short of one of the best meals I've ever had. We did the European stations and people raved about it!Despite it being "my" venue, I will honestly be disappointed attending a local wedding not at The Historic Courthouse 1893. The level of service and fun Chef Jack's provides is absolutely unmatched. They will be the best hire for your wedding guaranteed!

I am a local wedding photographer and I shot my first wedding at this venue in January of 2023. I absolutely LOVED it there. It is beautiful inside and out! The grooms space is so fun, the bridal suite is gorgeous. I wish I could have been there to photograph during daylight hours to capture the natural light in that space. The food was also delicious. I hope to return to shoot there soon!

My husband and I highly recommend this venue for any and all events! They were very professional and have an excellent staff. They answered any and all questions we may have had. We were able to relax because they took care of everything the day of. Their food was delicious!! We have nothing but good things to say about the Historic Courthouse 1893! The venue itself is stunning. Beautiful high ceilings and multi colored uplighting.

Choosing Chef Jacks was the best and easiest decision for our special day. With a cancelled wedding in 2020; they were still there every step of the way doing everything possible to make our 10/7/22 day absolutely perfect. They are patient, kind, funny, detail-oriented and think of things that only true professionals would know to think of. Eric worked with us countless times easing my anxiousness about details he would handle. That is truly just the beginning - the food was the most incredible dinner most of our guests ever experienced at a wedding. Highly recommend!

We got married at the Historic Courthouse and loved everything about it. We had a great experience with them since we toured to the tasting and to the wedding day itself. They had such a great team and were very communicative and great with making adjustments as needed. The getting ready rooms were phenomenal for both the bride and groom. The guys have an awesome space with games and relaxation area, and the girls have a dressing room, makeup room, and lounge area. The staff was very professional, ensured everyone was served, comfortable, and happy. They were quick with clean up, service, and ensured that the bride and groom were well taken care of. They made sure when we got back from photos they had an entire plate of apps for us and ensured we had time to eat and enjoy. It was so thoughtful, and we got all the compliments on food and drinks. The entrees were amazing and so good, and the apps were perfect. Drinks came quickly and quality. All of the experience was so great and the staff and quality is more than we anticipated. Love love love this venue and catering.

WOW! If you want a venue with charm and history, this is the place! It is absolutely gorgeous. I love the fact that they have both a bride and grooms suite (with games for the guys & on a different floor). It was definitely worth every penny. The staff was amazing and very responsive to questions I asked via email (that day or next). They set up our decor perfectly. They definitely know what they are doing. They asked me detailed questions that I would have never even thought of It! The venue is also handicap accessible as well. Lots of smaller side rooms for those that want a quiet sitting area. They did an outstanding job. Our day was perfect

Falling right in line with all the other reviews you will read here - Eric & Lisa and Team are AHH-mazing. Their attention to detail and flexibility to work with you to make your dream wedding happen is no joke. They help navigate every detail with you without the cost of a wedding planner needed! The venue is already so beautiful with the décor that is there can also save money on the additional décor you might need to purchase to make a room look full like at other places. The food is soo good and was commented on by so many of our guests that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The staff is amazing down to the detail with remembering you ex. I love rumaki appetizers and the staff was sure to come be and ensure I was getting to eat the food I paid for to eat and enjoy. Seriously cannot say enough good things. Chef Jack's has quite the name in the business and it's easy to see why - every vendor we spoke with loves them and likes working with them. This venue specifically is also neat because you can rent out the Museum connected to it for cocktail hour or to help keep guests occupied like we did to help save on shuttle costs; it's unique and quite affordable to do! The suites/ rooms for getting ready are classic and thoughtful also for getting ready. We had a very large group for our wedding of 8 on each side and it was nice to have the makeup room and and groomsmen suites so equipped and spacious to handle everyone and provide great spots for pictures - another added bonus! If you book with Eric & Lisa and team you will NOT be disappointed.

I would give my venue 1000 stars ⭐️ if I could! I loved everything about the Historic Courthouse 1893, the staff from how accommodating, professional, fun and responsive they were during this entire process. Lisa, Nicolette, Tony and Eric are the best! The food was to die, we’ve continued to receive compliments on how delicious, hot and fresh everything was! ( even my own special bride salad 😂 ) everything came together to beautifully. The attention to detail Lisa and Nicollet had keeping up with all my last minute indecisiveness——sorry guys! This place is a no brainer to host your wedding!! Thank you! ❤️

The venue is absolutely stunning. Our wedding was so very elegant and yet relaxed thanks to the staff at Chef Jack's. The team has a can do attitude, is overly accommodating and extremely attentive to you on your wedding day. I love details and organization and they are a 5 star plus!!The food was unbelievable. Presentation was amazing, served hot and was out of this world fantastic! Our wedding guests keep telling us that this was the best wedding they have ever attended. They rave about the venue and the food non-stop! We can't stop talking about how special our day was and the stage was set by the team of Chef Jack's Catering and the Historic Courthouse 1893 venue.We love this venue and catering team so much we are planning on booking a 5 year anniversary party to do it all again :)Thank you Chef Jack's and Historic Courthouse 1893Mr and Mrs Haerter.
