Jan Serr Studio
Two unique spaces, one incredible location
Located on the top floor of the UWM Kenilworth Square East Building above the original 1914 Ford Model T plant, Jan Serr Studio provides guests with two very unique event spaces available for rent, each with their own specific amenities and features.
The 3,600 square feet first-floor gallery with its movable walls and easy access from Prospect Avenue is perfect for cocktail hours, art exhibitions, performances and wedding ceremonies. Guests even have the option of utilizing a private staging area, perfect as a room to prepare, a private bridal retreat, or as a VIP backstage area.
With its 7,000 square feet of open floor and stunning views of Lake Michigan and Downtown Milwaukee, the impressive 6th-floor studio is perfect for just about any type of event you can think of. The south-facing window, revealing a stunning view of Downtown Milwaukee, is over 60 feet wide and 30 feet tall! When you’re finally able to pull yourself away from this gorgeous scene, you’ll find a space glowing with creative potential.

“Our wedding at Jan Serr Studio on 10/11/25 was everything we hoped for and more. The venue is breathtaking on its own, but the food… wow. It wasn’t just good, it was unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about it, still reaching out to tell us how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food tasted. The atmosphere, the views, the food all of it came together perfectly.” – Jennifer
“Best wedding day ever! I grew up in Milwaukee but live in Denver now, so it was really important to me to choose a venue that showed off the best of my hometown for all our out-of-state guests. Jan Serr absolutely delivered!” – Abbie
“Our experience from start to finish was perfection! Our guests raved about the venue and food. The BIG windows were just what we were looking for and the patio was a super nice touch for our wedding. Thank you Jan Serr!” – Krystal
