Madison (and her SO Matt) are an absolute delight to work with and masters of their craft. Besides being a very sweet and kind human, Madison understands very well how stressful weddings can be and works diligently to help the day go beautifully, even beyond just photography. Keeping just the right balance of polite but also firm, Madison acted as a trusted friend and peacemaker in keeping the schedule going, coordinating with our DJ about the music pacing and volume, and even helping us by bringing us drinks in between photos - of course, capturing all the beautiful moments along the way. She is very skilled and accommodating with pictures - we chose a time of day that was not optimal for lighting but she handled it like a pro!

Old Coon Creek Inn was a fantastic venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was straightforward, timely, and non-ambiguous, which made it easy for us to stay on top of all the details. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the outdoor space was beautifully maintained, had a charming, rustic feel, and was very fairly priced. We were able to visit the venue a few times to help with decision-making and planning, and they worked closely with us on the table and chair setup to have everything ready when we arrived to add our personal touches. They also recommended a wonderful on-site coordinator who was invaluable in ensuring our day ran smoothly. The flexibility they provided with vendor choices for various areas was also greatly appreciated, and because we were able to bring in a lot of our own elements, it was very cost-efficient for us. We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else and are so grateful to the Old Coon Creek Inn team for helping make our special day perfect. Photos are by Laura Hamp from our wedding day (:

We loved our beautiful fall wedding at iron works. We lived out of state (but I'm originally from the area) and the team worked with us long distance via email and phone to get the details together for the event. After shopping around I soon realized this was the BEST spot to have a wedding in the stateline area that is connected to a hotel. There's nothing classy in Rockford, it's all run down and gross but Iron works was classy and had the right vibe and price wasn't over the top (It was still expensive but palatable). I will menton we had our actual ceremony at Nicholas Conservatory in Rockford which was amazing but Iron Works was thee place for the reception. The place is industrial but has sexy vibes with the leather and strong iron beams with a nod to the city's past. The event space was beautiful and still looks new and clean and great shape. Love the details in the decor, It was a great canvas to work with. The view from the river was lovely and loved having the outdoor space to hang out in too, especially for those who smoked. The food was wonderful. Was a little worried about the steak, the first initial tasting was decent but thinking about serving steak for such a big crowd we were skeptical it would turn out but everyone's steak was edible and warm, just cooked perfectly, it is a steak house after all. We were glad we upgraded to the filet too. We were super happy with the appetizers and main course and everything was yummy. The servers were on it. Maybe too on it, I would set my drink down and it would disappear. But overall very pleased with our experience. Everyone we worked with was polite and nice from the servers to the managers in charge, we were treated with kindness and respect. I did fly out to come view it in person just to see how they would treat me and they passed the test.. Would have been nice to know about The booking situation with blocking off rooms that another wedding venue reserved rooms so then some of our party had to go to an air Bnb instead of everyone staying there, which was the whole point of doing it there so people didn't have to drive after the reception. Also wish we could have danced later than midnight but it was in our contract to end the night at midnight. Other than that very happy our experience. It was a beautiful wedding, it went by so fast but it was an unforgettable evening. Thanks for everything.

It is so clear that Makenna puts her heart and soul into capturing memories. She put my partner and I at ease and made us look EXCELLENT - even though we describe ourselves as quite awkward on camera. Makenna was so supportive throughout the pre-wedding planning and even shared tips and tricks unrelated to photography to help the day go smoothly. A photographer is by your side for much of this special day, I HIGHLY recommend hiring Makenna to be that person. You will not regret it!

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and they made everything so easy for planning! From checklists, to tipping guides, to responding (kindly) to my endless emails- we couldn’t have asked for more. I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, who’s coordinating services we added onto our day. She truly understood and executed my wedding vision better than I could’ve ever imagined. We felt like we were part of the family here and not just another couple. If you’re looking for a place that is more than a venue- this is it.

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!

Jon and his wife Amber are phenomenal! I had no idea where to start or what to ask about wedding photography and Jon guided us so effortlessly to organize everything from the initial meet and greet with Jon to get to know him and what to expect, then our engagement photo shoot, helping with our timeline, organizing family photos, and of course day-of coverage. Jon and Amber managed to record our private vows and that means so much to us. Jon and Amber captured everything we wanted and even so much more that we didn't know we wanted! Jon was great at calming the nerves for our engagement shoot (neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of the camera) and even let us take pictures of each other! They think of everything and honestly you could not get a better team. We will continue to use them throughout all the major moments in our lives and will forever cherish the photos.

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.

Setting up and planning everything with the person online was wondering and really gave me high hopes! Everything went super smoothly. They gave me a comprehensive shopping list and helped finesse all the recipes for our mocktail bar. Also checked in a few times prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. Now the bartender who came was a different story. She forget several of her tools needed including knives for all the garnishes. I had bought quite a bit of oranges, lemons, limes etc. She was also incredibly rude and several people remarked to me about that during the wedding day and after the wedding. She looked miserable and angry the whole time at the wedding. The only time I went to the bar, she wasn’t there and after about 10 minutes of waiting around, she came back and I asked to try all my mocktails and she gave me a judgy look and said that she was already made a drink for the bride earlier. I asked again and finally after my husband asked with me she made them but reluctantly. Mind you, this was a nonalcoholic bar. Overall liked Bucky’s, but the bartender was who worked with them was having an off 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!

The quality of their work and the value was also amazing. The 4-tier pearl design cake they created was absolutely stunning, and the taste was out of this world. Everyone at our wedding raved about how delicious the cake was - there was no need for any other desserts when the cake tasted that good!

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 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 created the most stunningly perfect bouquets, boutonnieres and flower arrangements for our wedding! We wanted various shades of purple to be the theme of all of the florals. Maelia took our vision and made it into reality. On every planning call leading up to the wedding, she was informative, creative, detail-oriented, and such a kind person to work with. Maelia and her colleague Kristina arrived to our venue ready to go – expertly setting up the various floral elements on multiple floors. All of our flowers were so lush and sourced locally from Wisconsin, which made them extra special. My bouquet was a work of art, and I'm getting it pressed and framed so it can last forever. Thank you SO much Maelia and Kristina for being incredibly talented and thoughtful vendors to work with!

We came across this venue and from the moment we walked in the doors we were in awe. From the old ticket booth to the beautiful wood bar, the stage and the stunning chandelier you can see from the outside, it is so very special. Everyone including our vendors couldn’t stop talking about how great the venue was. The owners were also great to work with and could tell they loved their venue and it’s rich history. Bonus you get a great bridal room to get ready, a quaint rehearsal area having it the entire weekend was so appreciated!

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.

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.
