Benson’s Restaurant Group Named Exclusive Catering Partner for The Argo
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Benson’s Restaurant Group today announced it has been named the exclusive private-event catering partner for one of Southeastern Wisconsin’s newest venues, The Argo. The partnership brings the restaurant group’s chef-led, beloved catering fare and hospitality expertise to The Argo’s full-service ballroom and private event space offerings.
Beginning immediately, Benson’s will provide exclusive catering for all the events in The Argo, including its 200-capacity ballroom ideal for weddings, corporate gatherings, private celebrations and other hosted events – as well as full venue buyouts. The Argo, located in the historic Fox Bay Theater in Whitefish Bay, Wis., opened in 2025. Benson’s is its first exclusive catering partner.
“We are honored to be named the exclusive catering partner for The Argo,” says David Marcus, CEO of The Argo presents an exciting opportunity for us as we continue to expand our catering offerings. We are confident that every event hosted there will be supported by outstanding food, seamless service, and the highest standards our culinary team brings to every space we serve.”
The Argo is the latest venue to tap Benson’s Restaurant Group for its culinary and catering expertise. Last year, Benson’s was named the exclusive catering partner for the Milwaukee Athletic Club (MAC) and its numerous indoor and outdoor event spaces, and the Sandhill Tree Farm barn-style and outdoor venue in Grafton, Wis., ideal for corporate events and weddings. Benson’s is also the preferred offsite caterer for other regional event venues.
“Private catering is a strategic focus for our restaurant group as is continuing to provide unique and best-in-class restaurant dining in the region,” said Marcus. “With the addition of The Argo, event organizers can now rely on Benson’s fare and impeccable service in any type of setting from formal, eclectic, barn or outdoor environments.”
In addition to hosting private events in partnership with Benson’s, The Argo is well known for its 700-capacity entertainment venue and a full-service lounge for drinks and dining.
“At The Argo, every detail matters in everything we do,” said Adam Powers, co-founder of The Argo. “Benson’s will fulfill that promise to our private event clients with gourmet dining options, flexibility and customization to meet their preferences, and a level of hospitality that reflects our world-class venue.”
