The Sylvee

A Blank Slate with Industrial Flair

25 S. Livingston Street | Madison, WI

The Sylvee offers a vast, open concept first floor, a warmly-lit full-service bar, and a tremendous stage equipped with a premium sound system and lighting setup.

The second floor provides ample seating with a stage view, a bar that sits in front of sky-high windows and grand views of the capitol building, and a private, closed-off meeting space.

Blend the industrial vibe of the Sylvee with your own creative concept to bring your event to life!

The on-site Technical Director handles all AV needs. They will work with you to determine your personal lighting preferences and schedule any light transitions throughout your event. They coordinate sound, mics, projector screens, and additional equipment rentals.

Events That Engage, Parties That Rock

FPC understands that events are not about the venue, but about the people. Without great production, excellent crowd management, and a seamless flow, guests will not be able to fully enjoy themselves. By creating memorable experiences, we help event organizers build a sense of excitement and anticipation among their attendees. Guests will not only want to attend an event, but they will also want to attend because they know what to expect at our signature venues.
