We hired Madison to be our second shooter at our wedding and we are so glad that we did! We are in LOVE with the gallery that we got back and appreciate that she was able to capture different angles/poses/moments than our primary shooter throughout the day! So now, we have so many beautiful photos from our big day to look back on from two different perspectives! Not to mention, she was just in general a great addition to our day - from calming nerves to making sure everything went smoothly! We definitely recommend working with Madison!

Our wedding at Four Winds was perfect. It is a beautiful facility that can host both indoor and outdoor activities seamlessly. Four Winds treated us very well, and it was easy to plan our wedding with them. Four Winds provided tables and chairs, in addition to the beautiful furniture they have inside and on the patio already. It was easy for our vendors to set up food. And the drinks that Jay designed for us were amazing. The day of our wedding, Four Winds helped keep water pitchers full and spaces clean. I've been at several weddings that didn't have refreshed water pitchers or other services, and Four Winds anticipated our needs before we even noticed them. And we've gotten so many compliments on the venue since our wedding!

Milford Hills Hunt Club was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We primarily communicated with them over email which was always prompt and detailed. The outdoor space was gorgeous and made for a beautiful ceremony backdrop. The indoor space is on the smaller side but worked well for our wedding of about 150 guests. Heidi, the on-site coordinator, was phenomenal - her organization and communication really allowed my husband and I to relax and soak in being newlyweds. The food provided by Milford Hills was delicious and having the ceremony, reception and catering all handled by one vendor streamlined the planning process. It's a stunning venue with an accommodating staff that helped contribute to our special day.

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!

We had our wedding at Fat Apple Farm and were so pleased with everything! The family that runs it was incredibly responsive and caring during the planning process, making things much lower stress and giving us peace of mind that the event would go smoothly. On the big day, they had many friendly workers on hand to help set up, coordinate vendors, and make sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. The beautiful farm setting provided a perfect rustic backdrop for our pictures and the event space was large enough to accommodate all our guests comfortably. We felt the venue was an excellent value for the quality of service and lovely atmosphere they provided. If you're looking for a warm, family-run venue that will help your wedding vision come to life, I highly recommend Fat Apple Farm!

Briarwood Flowers would love to fill your wedding day with blooms. We are totally crazy about our couples and believe that your wedding day is so important because it kicks off this wild, lifelong adventure called marriage. We source from suppliers around the world but are passionate about sourcing closer to home more and more each year: from our own flower farm and from local growers whenever we can! Briarwood Flowers is here to make wedding floral design the easiest part of planning your day!

I am forever grateful that I chose Briarwood to flower my wedding! I knew from my first meeting with Delaney that they were such a great fit. This is a family business who works so hard farming their own flowers and creating original designs. Delaney made everything so easy and customizable and came up with some AMAZING ideas for my wedding that had our guests talking nonstop. They were the finishing touch on our day that truly made it look magical. They stood out against all of our other vendors. I will be recommending this company to everyone in my life who is getting married!!

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Madison, WI

B-Style Floral is a professional local florist proudly serving Mazomanie, Wisconsin, and surrounding areas. We pride ourselves on having small-town charm. We not only have a wide inventory of fresh flowers, plants & gifts; but, we also have a variety of handmade artwork such as pottery, photography & much more.

B-Style Floral & Gifts did a fantastic job with the flowers for our wedding. Their communication was efficient, responsive and quick throughout the planning process, which made wedding planning less stressful. The floral arrangements were beautifully crafted with great attention to detail, although on the pricier side. A huge help was how they efficiently flipped the ceremony decor over to the reception - it made the transition smooth and easy. The bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony arch and reception centerpieces were gorgeous and really brought the whole event together seamlessly. Overall, B-Style killed it with the floral design and their flexible, responsive service - they made our wedding day absolutely beautiful!

My husband and I were married at the Beloit Club in May of 2023 and we could not have imagined a more perfect venue for the two of us. My husband's grandparents have been members for a very long and we just loved eating her with their delicious food and beautiful venue. You do not need to be a member to be married here! With that being said, we have always enjoyed the food here and it did not disappoint on our wedding day! We were able to customize our meals for ourselves and for our guests. All event staff were very attentive to every little detail since we booked our date to the last minute. They helped make the wedding flow as smoothly as possible. The club house is spectacular, they are so accommodating, our pictures turned out beautifully and all of our guests complimented the venue and the food. The Beloit Club has plenty of great hotels near by and I found them to be reasonable in terms of cost in wedding planning. We absolutely loved this place for our wedding!

Forever Young is a newly built, family owned venue located in the heart of the Kettle Moraine Forest just outside of Palmyra, Wisconsin. We have restored the cream city brick space into a timeless and beautiful venue with countryside charm and elegant flair. Less than one hour away from both Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin. Originally this property was home to Young Engineering Co. established in 1918 and was a manufacturing and printing press facility until it was closed in the early 80’s. The building remained vacant until the property was purchased from the Young Foundation in 2018. While reconstructing the space, we preserved much of the original beauty and history that was, while adding the modern amenities and touches to bring your vision to life. We feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity to carry on the history of this property, and the spirit of being forever young.

They have shared several local vendor recommendations, and offer flexible packages that fit our budget and vision. Definitely worth touring!
