We could not have asked for a better DJ than Steven for our wedding! From the ceremony through cocktail hour and into the reception, he kept everything running so smoothly and brought the perfect energy to every part of the day. His input and suggestions helped the day flow seamlessly and created so many special moments we’ll never forget. Once the reception started, Steven kept the dance floor packed all night long (and even jumped in with some dance moves himself, which our guests absolutely loved)! We got so many compliments from friends and family about how fun, positive, and talented he was. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and makes your wedding day unforgettable, Steven is the DJ you want. Truly the best!

We truly cannot say enough good things about Veronica. She kept us ahead of every deadline and thought of things we never would have remembered on our own. Nothing slipped through the cracks.

She struck the perfect balance of being professional and incredibly personable. Our vendors, families, and wedding party all loved her, and she ran our rehearsal and wedding day with such calm confidence that we were able to just enjoy ourselves because we knew she had everything else handled. She also helped us throughout the day with little tips like where to hold my bouquet so it's not covering my whole dress in pictures—things that are just not on your mind at the moment.

Hey! Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Stephanie. Born & raised in Wisco but I have a wandering soul. I love photographing love. Silly love, sweet love, crazy love, & any kind in between. Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

To say we were blown away by Unique by Monique Weddings is an understatement! If we could give her 100 stars we would!! From the very beginning, Monique went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our vision truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives! Walking into the venue (The Gage) and seeing our vision come together was nothing short of magical. She coordinated and communicated with our dream team of vendors, set up signage and decor beautifully, and ensured that we could focus on getting ready and truly being present with our family and friends. Monique went above and beyond the week before our wedding as well. Nick was sick, and we had a lot of last-minute tasks left to complete. Monique picked up and folded all of our table and welcome signage, making sure everything was ready without even mentioning it! Her calm and organized approach made us feel completely at ease, even during the very few stressful moments. If anything little did go wrong that day, we were not aware of it; she handled everything flawlessly! Not only was she efficient and on top of every detail, but she also brought a warm, personal touch to the entire process. We were pretty nervous about the prospect of wedding planning, and Monique consistently assured us that we were on track or ahead of schedule, checking in with us several times before the wedding. Monique has an amazing ability to bring a calm, considerate, and uplifting presence wherever she is. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and we felt that throughout the entire process. She was also fantastic at coordinating our large families for pictures after the ceremony, ensuring that we could all stay on track and enjoy some of our cocktail hour! Thanks to Monique, we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing everything was in perfect hands. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, look no further. We are forever grateful for her dedication and support!

A DJ will make or break a party and Milwaukee Underground Productions MADE OUR PARTY! Prior to our wedding day, we were convinced our friends and families would be avoiding the dance floor, opting for card games or the bar but, to my utter shock, there wasn’t a single song we didn't have a group dancing the entire evening. Chris Troka listened to us, who we are as a couple, who our guests would be and absolutely nailed it. He played a wide variety of songs that had everyone from my younger brother to our grandparents entertained. Chris’s set up was so sleek and looked very professional, from the up-lighting to the DJ booth. He was professional, funny, and a great DJ/MC.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla exceeded every expectation, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I knew she understood the vibe and would be able to bring my vision to life. Starting with our engagement photos that were like something from a magazine, to capturing stunning candid moments that told the story of our wedding day perfectly. She went above and beyond, even to blow-dry my dress after we got caught in an unexpected downpour, making what could have been a stressful moment feel manageable and even fun. She read me so well throughout the day, knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment to myself versus when I was ready for portraits. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made her an invaluable part of our celebration, and her work is something we’ll treasure forever. We hope to continue to work with Kayla to capture future milestones!
