For couples seeking a downtown La Crosse wedding venue with modern flair, flexible event spaces, and unbeatable riverfront access, the La Crosse Center offers a bold and elegant setting. Recently renovated with contemporary design, this venue is perfect for large celebrations, chic receptions, and wedding weekends that are walkable, comfortable, and memorable.
As a La Crosse wedding photographer and videographer, I love the variety of light, layout, and indoor/outdoor shooting options the La Crosse Center provides. It’s especially ideal for couples wanting a downtown, hotel-accessible experience.
Why Couples Choose the La Crosse Center
Stylish + Renovated Interior
The newly updated interiors of the Center are stunning—modern chandeliers, neutral color palettes, clean lines, and ample natural light make this venue ideal for upscale weddings. It offers a blank canvas with elegance built in.
Versatile Rooms for Every Stage of Your Day
- Riverside Ballroom: With views of the Mississippi, this large ballroom is ideal for formal receptions.
- Meeting Rooms & Pre-Function Spaces: Great for cocktail hours or getting-ready suites.
- Rooftop Terrace (if available): A unique location for sunset portraits with skyline and river views.
Perfect Location for a Full Wedding Weekend
The La Crosse Center is steps from top hotels like the Radisson, The Charmant, and the new Home2 Suites. Guests can walk to bars, breweries, brunch spots, and the beautiful Riverside Park for portraits.
Planning Tips for a La Crosse Center Wedding
- Use Riverside Park for Portraits: It’s just across the street and offers a gorgeous contrast to the sleek interiors.
- Consider Hotel Blocks Early: This area books up fast, especially during summer and Oktoberfest weekends.
- Work with a Wedding Coordinator: Because of the Center’s size, a professional coordinator can help manage timelines, decor, and flow.
