We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us. Till this day we recommend CSE to all of our friends looking for an awesome team to work with for their weddings.. Love you guys! :)

I'm a self proclaimed music enthusiast, homebody, & a love-your-photos advocate who promises to be with you for every single step to i do. On days that I'm at home, I'm usually curled up on the couch with my golden doodle and a good book. If the weather is nice, you can find me at the pool, hiking, or downhill skiing in the colder months! Oh.. & I LOVE food.

How do you put into words a service that is absolutely perfect and everything you’ve ever dreamed of? Caitlin is absolutely incredible. She has gone above and beyond other photographers I’ve worked with in every way. She helped us from the start with all sorts of information, tips and tricks and helped us create a timeline that worked for everyone and kept the whole day flowing. From engagement photos, to boudoir photos to our wedding – Caitlin was there and documented every step of the way. She truly is a godsend. She is so talented and every photo is crisp, beautiful and shows the true emotion of the day. She has one of the fastest turn-around times I have ever come across for wedding photographers. (We had our sneak peak 14 hours after she left our wedding and our entire gallery in 5 DAYS!) and every photo is perfect. She’s so quick and efficient and the groomsman didn’t complain once! She’s got a wonderful personality and she’s got jokes and makes every situation light and so enjoyable. She’s like a ninja and sometimes I forgot she was there! She’s so thorough and doesn’t miss a beat if something changes on the fly. We truly love all of our photos and recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married. She made the whole experience a breeze and so enjoyable and we love our photos and her so much!

Hi, my name is Lucy! I'm a baker and decorator located in Downtown Milwaukee, and spend most of my time in the kitchen! I also come from a lineage of bakers, and most notably the "Cake Lady of Erie Pennsylvania" - being my great grandma. So, this is kind of in my genes. ​I've been baking professionally for over 7 years, and was hired to make my first wedding cake when I was just 16! I love being able to give clients something memorable for their weddings, events, or as gifts for their loved ones. Consistency and flexibility are the two main ingredients in making my clients come back for seconds!

Awarded Best of Zola
From a wedding cake made with a recipe that has been passed down for generations to cookies that look like your dog for your guests to take home, Lucy is the one. Her work is beautiful, and it not only looks good, but it always tastes amazing. All of our guests still talk about our cake years later. She is so creative and patient. She listened to my 45,000 ideas about cakes and helped me narrow it down until we settled something that I absolutely loved. We received multiple commented from our other vendors (who she hadn't worked with before) on how professional and great she was to work with, and how her cake was one of the best they had ever had!

We just had our wedding this past Friday, 8/21/20. Covid-19 created a lot of uncertainty on how things would turn out. But, there were 2 things that were certain. We were getting married and Justin was going to be there to capture it. Whether it was at the original venue, a boat, or in a tiny backyard. Justin's enthusiasm is so genuine and infectious. I had a ball with him around just waiting to take photos. Then when we started the joy never stopped. It never felt like we were completing a task, just enjoying life.

I have a passion for travel and I love meeting new people and hearing their crazy (or not so crazy) stories. I love trying new things and walking around a new city until my feet bleed (that's literally happened...still love you tho, NYC). I'm a major extrovert, but I have a great appreciation for the little things in life. You'll likely find me sipping some strong coffee at a local café or snuggled up on the couch with some wine, pizza, and my husband on a rainy day. With a camera in hand, I am probably the most annoying person to travel with, stopping every ten feet to take a picture. Sorry not sorry.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allie did a fantastic job with not only our wedding, but our engagement photos as well! She understood what we wanted the photos to look like and made the shoots themselves so fun! My husband does not like being in photos, but she was able to create an experience where we were able to get many great photos of us that felt natural. I have gotten many compliments from friends and family on our photos and I have Allie to thank for that - could not sing higher praises!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

I’m Kelly, owner of Lily & Daisy Floral. Coming from generations of floral enthusiasts, I have always loved and appreciated beautiful flowers. Because of that love, I decided to take a hobby and make it into a small business. I guess you could say Lily & Daisy Floral grew from a passion and love for all things floral. I design and create floral arrangements for the pure joy and love of it! A little more about me personally - I am a lover of live music, warm weather, my two dogs & spending time with my two children, Hayley & Alex. My dogs names inspired the name of my business, as their names are Lily and Daisy! :)

Kelly and the team at Lily & Daisy Floral were a joy to work with for our fall wedding flowers and decor. Their communication style is prompt, approachable and open to new ideas which made planning easy. The quality and value of their floral arrangements is exceptional - beautiful, colorful and incorporating natural elements. Kelly went above and beyond to create a stunning floral and greenery display above the fireplace at our reception venue, perfectly capturing the fall season we wanted. She listened closely to our vision and brought it to life with gorgeous flowers. If you're looking for a florist who delivers beautiful arrangements and delightful customer service, I highly recommend Lily & Daisy Floral.

She came very prepared and brought along items like a stain stick and a bride hanger to be prepared for anything that could’ve happened to ruin the look. She was flexible with us when we decided to tweak our timeline a little bit during our wedding and made sure to just go with it and capture all the moments of us with our guests. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple and has so much fun with you while she hypes you up to get the best shots.

Hey! I'm Katrice. Photography has been my 'thing' for as long as I can remember. My father was a photographer. One of my earliest memories is a point and click film camera being placed in my hand. As I grew up photography began to mean so much more to me. It helps us remember. these little bits of time are captured forever. Seeing the joy on my friend's faces when I'd hand them prints after recent adventures was so meaningful to me. After college and the birth of my daughter I decided to dive in full time, and here we are. 7 years later & still learning and growing. I love it all.

Katrice was simply amazing. She was flexible and communicative. Her online portal is super easy to use. But most importantly, she captured the most incredible pictures of our wedding. She commanded the attention needed to wrangle a variety of people for formal photos, including an entire group shot, and got truly excellent candid photos. We could not be happier!

Inspiring Experiences With A Lifetime Of Memories! The Perfect Compliment To Your Wedding Reception! We offer a Complete Entertainment Package from a Seven Piece Band to a Twelve Piece Orchestra. We also provide Ceremony Musicians, Emcee Services, and a variety of Performance Packages for any size Wedding Reception. Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Love stories are my passion! I love everything about weddings from capturing your first look to the tender moments on the dance floor at the end of the night when its just you and your honey. At Sam Lauersdorf Photography we capture your day we professionalism, creativity, spunk and passion. I can't wait to meet you!

Sam was amazing to work with!!! She was super sweet and helpful through the whole process, starting with the first round of video calls! I felt like she was right fit for our wedding based off of her work and personality. She worked great with our photographer, Heather Collins! Collin & I loved that she was able to get our whole wedding dance on video!!! This moment was extremely special, as the song we danced to, was the exact same song, Keith Urban played for us at his concert in Milwaukee in June 2024! We loved being able to show people who couldn’t make it our wedding what we have been working so hard on. As well as being able to look back that dance! Another special thing that Sam did was the interviews! We loved that we got to pick some family friends. I talked to the couple I picked well after our wedding, they were so honored but surprised that they were asked to talk about us. We also had our grandmas say a few things. In addition, our grandmas were our flower girls, so this is something we are going to treasure for a long time. Sam was extremely patient with us, as after our ceremony, we went to the family cabin. Took some pictures with our dogs, and then read our semi private vows. It was so windy out while we worked on this, that we had to redo some pictures especially with the veil. We love that we were able to get Sam out to the cabin to have our vows recorded on the same doc, where Collin proposed to me. Overall, she was awesome to work with! And we got some bonus photos from her! (Which turned out amazing!) Everyone we showed the videos to, loved them just as much as we did! Only thing I wish I had was some video footage of our grand March of our wedding party.

The Smoke Shack

We’re obsessed with the craft of smoked meat. Our certified humanely-raised meats are dry rubbed, slow smoked, and sauced by you. In some cases, we began smoking your meat yesterday to ensure you get the perfect quality barbecue. We smoke our meats in small batches, all-day, every-day. In some cases, we sell out when items are in high demand, but sit back, savor a bourbon or two, and try something new. We’re certain that you’ll enjoy our variety!

We have been fans of The Smoke Shack for years as a go to for some great BBQ food in downtown Milwaukee. When we wanted to have a more casual dinner buffet for our wedding we thought what could be better than BBQ! Smoke Shack was great when we went in for a tasting. If memory serves the tasting was free unlike a lot of other caterers and the pricing was comparable. We had a COVID wedding and had to make some last minute changes (8 days before the wedding) because our venue could no longer accommodate us. No problem! Smoke Shack just updated the location and adjusted their plan and delivered as promised. The food was great and the guests were asking for more. Highly recommend the KC Egg Rolls if you are going to get any appetizers! Thank you Smoke Shack!
