The Garage
The Harley-Davidson Museum began working on a brand new venue - dubbed "The Garage" - some time ago, a space that's intended to be used for special events of all kinds. Now, the 8,200-square-foot venue is officially open to the public following its grand opening and is available for fans of the brand to book.

Flexible Space
Designed to accommodate indoor and outdoor events, The Garage is a true year-round venue with seating for up to 425 people at dinner events and 530 in a more open type of reception. More people can be added via a flexible theater-style setup, too.

Stunning Views
The space itself is quite nice to look at, with large floor-to-ceiling windows providing a good look at the Menomonee River. When the weather is nice, garage doors can be opened to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, which can be used for everything from weddings to corporate events and even cocktail receptions.

Blank Canvas
Altogether, The Garage is designed to be a blank canvas of sorts, making it possible for Harley-Davidson to tailor it to whatever one's specific needs for an event might be. Any type of social gathering can be supported, and there's even an industrial-style kitchen that the catering team can use to provide all sorts of eats for attendees.

Dreaming Up Ideas
"We're already dreaming all kinds of crazy great things up for the events we want to have," said Aimee Wiedmeyer, director of operations at the Harley-Davidson Museum. "I think it’s just that creativity and being able to dream even more. As far as an offering goes in the city of Milwaukee, we’re really excited to see what we can dream up with our guests and our clients that are ready to book with us."
