“The Tinsmith was the perfect backdrop for our wedding and we are so happy we chose them for our reception! We had an amazing experience working with the team at the Tinsmith - everyone from the bartenders to the venue coordinators went above and beyond for us. The venue itself is a great blank slate to make your own, yet it doesn't need very much to be beautiful (especially the Solarium!). Highly recommend to those wanting to celebrate in downtown Madison :)”

“The Tinsmith was absolutely perfect for our wedding in March! The staff and team was amazing! We had multiple meetings leading up to our big day to refine any details and answer any questions that we had. They also had multiple "open houses" where we could go and look at the space again which was super helpful. The Tinsmith team was genuinely so great and communicating with us and helping our dream wedding become a reality! I cannot thank them enough for everything! Highly highly recommend!”

“Working events at The Tinsmith with Complete Weddings + Events, I have consistently appreciated how well the venue team operates. When staff, vendors, and timelines are aligned, everything simply works better. The space carries a modern, upscale feel without losing warmth, which translates well both on camera and in person. It is a strong choice for couples who want style backed by professionalism.”

“We booked the Tinsmith as our wedding venue and it was the best decision we could have made. Not only is it beautiful, it’s so unique, constructed perfectly for the flow of a wedding day, is a great size, has an awesome bar and an incredible staff. Everyone we worked with and met with was kind, attentive, accommodating and excited for us. The bar staff on the day was awesome, quick and always made sure we had drinks when we wanted them. We went with long harvest tables and loved the set up and there is so much room for the dance floor in the ceremony space. Our guests kept telling us how cool the venue was and that they’d never seen anything like it. We would highly, highly recommend looking at the Tinsmith as your wedding venue!! We can’t say enough good things about it.”

“The Tinsmith was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved the convenience of having the ceremony/reception in the same space, and appreciated the flexibility provided by the different bar options. The Tinsmith team was easy to communicate with, and made planning the wedding as stress-free as possible :) Last but not least, the venue is absolutely stunning! Gorgeous green and gold tones, and plenty of thriving plants. The solarium makes the perfect space for first dances. The entire venue is so beautiful, we felt like we hardly needed to add any of our own decorations!”
