Trimborn Farm is a great historical farm that hosts craft fairs, civil war encampments and a summer…read moreconcert series. The farm was established in the 1850's as a lime kiln and quarry, and became Milwaukee's largest lime producer. My family visits for the nice craft fairs. Visiting this past weekend, my son and I were given lots of mini "tours". Just ask the volunteers for the history of the place and you will get a great explanation of lime quarrying and the building and the history. I enjoyed the Curtis house, and hearing about the gentleman that lived there, who translated Quo Vadis and had an incredible life as a statesman, and eventually "Curtis Hall" at UW-M was named after him. Trimborn also hosts several War encampments, a summer concert series, and day camps for kids. The Spring crafts show was pretty small, the Fall one is the Daddy of them all, and falls on 9/10-11, 2011.

There is less street parking around the area but there are 82 free covered parking spots in the public garage of state street station right across the street.

At times a bit of a challenge to partake in a single standing leg yoga pose while puppies are nipping at the seam of my socks. At one point, 3 puppies decided to tag team me as I laid flat on my yoga mat. As I attempted to create a calming pose and center myself...the puppies decided they had other plans for me. My hair bun became undone by a puppy tug as I simultaneously almost lost a pearl earring to another puppy. As I laid flat, I gently pulled one of the puppies onto my chest for cuddles and I received a kiss. They had great fun with playing tug of war with my yoga towel. There was a photographer capturing candid shots of us with the puppies. We were offered assistance with taking pictures on our phones. A few of us were handed puppies by one of the puppy assistants. The staff was great with sanitizing any spills from the puppies. Toward the end of the session, I noticed the puppies tired themselves out and were being cradled by a few attendees. Genius idea of puppy yoga!

It was really nice to have the whole venue all to ourselves. The main space is a blank canvas that can be designed for your tastes. My cousin choose to have her wedding in the round which I though was amazing complete with a wall of drinks. We enjoyed glasses of champagne and bottles of Miller High Life, the champagne of beers. Every wedding should have this. I liked the different perspectives for the ceremony. We were able to sit on the backside of the vows. That never happens. After the ceremony, we made our way to the rooftop which has a beautiful garden along with a greenhouse with a built in bar. Unfortunately, we had to dodge some rain showers, which made the greenhouse bar extremely intimate. This was one way to keep the whole wedding party very close. Eventually the rain let up and we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden space. I loved all the natural lighting up here which led to fantastic photos of friends and family. While we were on the roof, the main space was being transformed from ceremony to our dining room. Again I loved how intimate the setting was. I also loved that we didn't feel cramped during our meal. The room was full of both round and rectangular tables which made the space fun. There's also a built in bar at the back of the room with a dance floor area. Personally, I thought it was a great venue for a wedding. My cousin did well picking out the space and designing her perfect day. I think everyone had a fantastic time and I'd highly recommend The Atrium for your next special day.

There were only 2 bathrooms upstairs and we didn't have the downstairs open so after the ceremony (during cocktail hour and pictures) the lines were long. The street parking was easy for about 100, and we had a great time. Someone had to change over the room from ceremony to dinner, wasn't too bad while we had drinks.
