Carroll University

Carroll University, Wisconsin's pioneer college, sits on a historic campus in Waukesha, minutes from Milwaukee and within an easy drive of Madison and Chicago. The campus blends historic architecture with landscaped grounds, offering both indoor and outdoor settings for ceremonies and celebrations. Event spaces range from the Humphrey Memorial Chapel, a sacred space for wedding ceremonies, to the Stackner Ballroom in the Campus Center, which hosts receptions and banquets. The Sneeden House offers a quieter setting nearby for getting ready, opening gifts, or a wedding-morning brunch. Beyond weddings, the university's more than 30 meeting spaces host everything from birthday parties and retirement celebrations to summer camps, accommodating groups from 10 to 1,100 guests. Carroll's event-planning team coordinates catering and dining, on-site parking, and lodging in the historic home and residence halls, and Carroll alumni receive 50% off rental fees.
