Chef Daniel prepared a fantastic buffet and even special meals for the children. Staff was willing to help us in every possible way to create the perfect event. Prices were fair.

We couldn't be more pleased with Heritage Hall.

I'm going to start by saying Jeff runs a great venue at a very fair price with the option to pretty…read moremuch let him handle everything besides decorations. We took advantage of them handling the food, appetizers, DJ, bartender, and ceremony all in house. The only thing we hired outside of loft and chapel was our photographer. There were 2 issues which left a bad taste in our mouth after our wedding night but could be easily avoided if we knew ahead of time. 1- We had asked and were told ahead of time it would be no issue to not serve shots at our wedding, and instead of taking time to make sure the bartender knew that we trusted that they would make it clear for us. We found out a little too late that they were serving shots all night to anyone who asked. I was told afterwards that it was written on the bartenders instruction sheet not to serve any shots. So if you're going to have any specific changes to your bar service take some time before people start drinking to talk to your bartender and set clear expectations. 2- we had "DJ Jay" as our supplied DJ from the venue. He contacted us just a few days before the wedding for our playlists and what kind of vibe we wanted for music. To say he didn't follow it would be an understatement. He was unable to read the room and continuously played music nobody was dancing to while not playing any of the songs we requested. On top of that he just gave off an overall unprofessional demeanor. I won't go into more details but given the opportunity I would have requested we either not have this DJ or I would have hired my own outside of the venue. Again if we knew ahead of time we could have avoided those 2 issues and the night would have been perfect. I would highly recommend booking a wedding here, the chapel is small but the service was very efficient. The venue itself is very nice, and it felt like we got more than our moneys worth for the overall aesthetic. Also I will again say Jeff is super easy to work with, he's very responsive, and he does a great job where he can.

The event venue in the historic firehouse is lovely for medium size gathers. The sound in the engine bay travels very well but is not echoing that one would think in a concert area. There are bridal areas for both the bride and the groom to get ready separately. Though parking is limited, the use of both area hotel shuttles and the story hill's trolley made guest transportation easy. Plus for those guests the should not drive after parting ensures they are back safely to their hotels. Every person the story hill' found or recommended to support our event was fantastic to include the decorations, DJ, wait staff, trolly driver, bar tenders and event manger. Thank you everyone for helping make our event memorable.

I've been here on a couple different occasions…read more First, during Doors Open Milwaukee, to check out this historic Firehouse. And, the second time was during their recent holiday market. The Story Hill Firehouse is a historical firehouse that's been repurposed as an event space. It's all exposed-brick-charming with some outdoor space as well. I'm not exactly sure of the capacity but would say it's an ideal event space for small to mid-sized events. There's some fun historical items throughout the space which makes for an interesting and unique experience. They've done a good job at creating an enchanting events space. For the holiday market, they were able to put several vendors throughout the indoor space (including utilizing their indoor events bar area) as well several outside. They maximized the space and with their roll up garage/fire truck style door (making moving between indoor and outdoor spaces a breeze), it worked wonderfully for the market. I know they have a few events throughout the year. I believe last New Year's they had a 1920's/prohibition themed NYE party. A wonderfully charming event space on the outskirts of the Story Hill neighborhood that would be the ideal spot for weddings, receptions, or really any event you can imagine.

My tickets were a steal at $39.00 each. Almost sold out, I grabbed what was left for my wife and I. The seats were great, and I didn't see a bad seat in the house. Ms. Edmondson's performance was fantastic. Frankly, she sounded better than on her CDs. The acoustics were excellent and the seats were comfortable. Everything was spotless, even the bathrooms. A huge lot makes parking a breeze. Of course, being a matinee on a Wednesday, the audience was older, and I felt like 75 years old was "The Sweet Bird of Youth," but that's okay. My funky appearance caused a few of the Brookfield matrons to stare, but I'm used to that in Milwaukee. The town can be myopic and provincial in how they treat older men who dress "arty." It was a great experience, and I thank Kat Edmondson and the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts.

Instead, they opened a location in Brown Deer, which I guess isn't super far away. I ordered a $19 combo platter of spareribs and smoked chicken thighs with sides of BBQ rice and (for $2 more) hand cut fries. I upgraded to the corn bread muffin for a $1 extra (which they didn't bother including in the to go bag) and added three smoked wings to the combo platter for $5. I also got a $9 side of smoked gouda mac and cheese. My initial reaction when I opened the $27 combo platter container was "really, that's it"? Now, to be fair, the chicken was de-boned, so that took up less room, and I'll again mention they didn't give me the corn bread muffin I ordered so that would have taken up some space. Plus, the wings in the container were extra, so without those it would look even skimpier albeit slightly cheaper priced. All that said, the meats tasted good and had nice smoke flavor. I enjoyed their BBQ sauce, which I appreciate coming on the side for dipping. The rice was a little hard, but still edible. I thought the smoked gouda mac and cheese was great, but it's a tad pricey for a side item.
