About This Venue
Monona Terrace is Madison’s architectural crown jewel, a convention and community center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that cantilevers dramatically over the shores of Lake Monona. The building’s sweeping curves, warm Cherokee red accents, and expansive glass walls create event spaces that feel both monumental and inviting.
The Exhibition Hall accommodates up to 500 seated guests for large galas and celebrations, while the Lakeside Terrace and rooftop garden offer stunning outdoor options with panoramic views of the lake and the Capitol dome. Smaller meeting rooms and breakout spaces provide flexibility for multi-room events. The in-house catering team delivers polished banquet service, and the AV infrastructure supports everything from keynote presentations to dance-floor lighting. For landmark celebrations in Madison, Monona Terrace is the definitive choice.
