Circa on Seventh — Attraction in Kenosha

Circa on Seventh was an outstanding venue for our February 2024 wedding. We wanted a space that could accommodate our 140 guests, but still feel intimate and cozy without feeling too crowded. This venue was the perfect choice. We had a very specific vision for how we wanted our wedding to look and feel, and Circa completely DELIVERED! It was even more magical than we could have dreamed of.

Hanni and the staff at Circa made the entire planning process SO much less stressful. From promptly answering our (many) emails, handling ALL of the setup and take down of décor, and providing us with lots of reassurance that our day would go smoothly; anxious brides should look NO FURTHER! The peace of mind that they were able to provide us leading up to and on the day of our wedding was priceless. They even helped us time our processional entrances so that the bridal entrance happened at an exact timestamp in our song! Their undivided attention to these small details just demonstrates how much they truly care about each couple. Don’t even get us started on how much they nailed the décor. We can’t believe how beautiful and elegant they made our day just from a few basic conversations and inspiration pictures we provided them.

Our guests have shared with us how magical it felt, how much fun they had at the reception, and how great the food was! Truthfully, we weren’t expecting much from wedding food—so we were VERY pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food at Circa. They also have multiple options to accommodate dietary restrictions (which this vegetarian bride definitely appreciated). The late-night pizzas that we added on were also a hit after a few hours of dancing!

The entire day went seamlessly. The staff was able to flip our ceremony space into a reception at lightning speed and without disrupting our guests, they were incredibly attentive to us and to everyone in attendance, and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about the entire experience. We will recommend this venue to...

We recently booked Circa on Seventh for our daughters July 2014 wedding. The first time we met with Hanni, I was completely confident that the reception was going to be a success. We had a unique situation where the Bride and Groom were from Texas, we live in Illinois, and were planning the wedding in Wisconsin. The venue is a remodeled, 100 year old beautiful movie theater. Not only was it beautifully decorated but they took pains to keep as much of the original feel of the old building uncompromised. Because we had a long drive to even view the hall or bring reception items, I had to do a lot of the corresponding with Hanni via e-mail and phone. She never failed to respond to my questions and comments immediately and also gave some excellent suggestions to make the night more personal and elegant. She allowed us to come up a full week in advance, before massive amounts of family started to arrive, so that we could drop off centerpieces, candles, and many other specialty items in advance along with three pages of detailed instructions about where they all were to be placed. Hanni accepted my very large list with a smile and everything was exactly as the Bride and Groom wanted it to be. Since almost every one of the guests was from out of state, they also opened up the venue immediately after the ceremony so that the guests had somewhere to go during the waiting period before the reception was to take place. Since the family stayed behind for pictures, Hanni even put aside a tray of appetizers for us when we got there. The food was delicious, the venue, beautiful, the service and the entire staff impeccable! We did not have a single detail go wrong. I have, and will continue to, recommend Circa on Seventh to everyone for any event they are planning. Thank you for making our daughter and son-in-laws wedding day, a wonderful day they will...

Really disappointed with my experience at circa. I got married here in October and to really shorten things up: there are hidden fees that aren’t made clear up front, unreliable staff, and not well accommodating for their food tasing. The main course tasting took place during someone else’s wedding day where my now husband and I were locked in a separate room during their dinner at 8 pm and they did not provide full portions like promised. They even forgot to provide all the food promised so I had to go back & pick up my hours d’oeuvres in a sketchy back alleyway of the venue by the dumpsters and I attached a picture of what it looked like.

You don’t get to freely make your wedding day schedule, they are strict about how your schedule has to be and you will have to end your wedding before time promised if you try having a little bit of a longer cocktail hour. The bartender we hired wasn’t available most the night and many of my guest told me they could see them in the back on their phone. After expressing all my complaints after the wedding they did not respond or apologize. Lots more to say but I’ll keep it that.

• updating to say that not once has staff took accountability for their lack of professionalism. I have received an email following this review that tells me that they don’t like what I said and that my comments were “sinister”, instead of try to right their wrongs. They only think highly of themselves and don’t take clients feelings into account. I hate to wright a review like this because it’s not great for a business however this cannot go unnoticed. So sad to see the...
