The Howard: A Historic Wedding Venue
Have your glamorous dream wedding complete with grand ballrooms rooms and intimate experiences
Make your wedding the event of the year when you marry at The Howard, a historic wedding venue with personality.
Originally designed in 1927, the Howard is a three-story, English-style building that surrounds you in a distinct combination of elegance and glamour. Boasting 25-foot-high vaulted ceilings alongside original stained-glass accents and hand-carved crown moldings, it’s one of the most historic wedding venues in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
After the ceremony, step downstairs to the vintage, 10-lane bowling alley hidden in the basement for a truly unique reception your guests will talk about for years to come. The Howard’s striking décor creates one of the most beautiful places to get married while also giving you and your guests the time of your lives.
Historic Great Hall and Sweeping Grand Ballroom
Impress wedding guests with our iconic great hall and ballroom spanning two floors. Let your soon-to-be-spouse catch a first look of you as the double wooden doors slowly swing open. Outfitted with ornate whitewashed ceilings and detailed with elaborate brass filigree, the happiest day of your life will unfold in an enchanting historic wedding venue.
An imperial staircase illuminated beneath crystal chandeliers will make you feel like you just stepped into a 17th century hall untouched by time. Spacious enough to be its own ballroom wedding venue, guests will have plenty of room to mingle in an 1,800-square-foot private dining room with high vaulted ceilings accented with original wood beams.
When the vows have been said and dinner is over, dance the night away with your newlywed in our timeless grand ballroom. Floor-length curtains and wood flooring create an elegant ballroom wedding venue every guest will remember.
Glamorous Bowling Lanes
Your guests will be talking about your wedding for years to come after experiencing our 10 bowling lanes tucked away in the lower level. With a speakeasy vibe, “The Lanes” offers an upscale twist to your normal bowling experience.
As you pose for photos after the wedding ceremony, friends and family can compete for a strike as they sip on classic cocktails and a thoughtful selection of craft beer and wine from the full bar at The Lanes.
