The Miramar Theatre is one of Milwaukee's most storied and distinctive event venues — a fully renovated historic theatre on the East Side that brings energy, character, and wow-factor to any private event.
Originally built as a movie house and shaped by decades of live theatre, concerts, and performance, the space carries an unmistakable atmosphere you can't manufacture. Today it's available for private rental and transforms completely to match your event — from an elegant seated reception to a high-energy dance floor, a formal gala setup to a poker tournament.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
— Historic main hall with soaring ceilings and architectural detail
— Elevated production stage
— Immersive lighting system (designed for live performance)
— Professional sound system with full PA capabilities
— Licensed full bar and bar service area
— Upstairs lounge space for VIP or overflow
— Green rooms for performers, speakers, or wedding parties
— Flexible open floor plan (theatre-style, reception, or hybrid)
IDEAL FOR:
Community events, private birthday parties, quinceañeras, corporate events, milestone celebrations, wedding receptions, engagement parties, bachelorette/bachelor events, fundraiser galas, and alumni gatherings.
Notable past events include Bobby Portis' 30th Birthday celebration and a Harley-Davidson brand activation produced by Mama Tried — so yes, this space has range.
Capacity varies by layout — contact us to discuss your guest count and we'll configure the floor to fit. Located at 2844 N Oakland Ave with weekend valet and nearby lot parking 2 blocks west.
