Antigua Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves South Milwaukee, WI

Life gets celebrated around food! Together, we can create a menu and setting that will reflect the love for you and your loved one. ​ At Antigua, we love what we do! And what better place to show our love for food and service than at your wedding. Let our award-winning team help you take care of the reception details so that you can enjoy your family and friends.

I can confidently say Antigua made our wedding day absolutely perfect. My wife and I knew we wanted food that was not only delicious but also unique and memorable. From the moment we sat down for our tasting, we knew Antigua was the right choice. First off, the food was next level. Seriously, people are still texting us about the empanadas and the cotija cheese mashed potatoes. It was this incredible mix of authentic Latin flavors with a sophisticated, modern twist. They worked with us to create a menu that matched our vibe perfectly. I mean, we’re talking about food that had my dad going back for seconds (and thirds) — and he’s usually super picky. But what really blew us away was how much the Antigua team cared. They weren’t just there to cater; they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The staff was so professional, friendly, and on top of it. It’s like they genuinely wanted us to have the best day ever, and they delivered. The setup was gorgeous. Their team transformed the venue into this warm, vibrant space that felt so us. They even helped us incorporate some personal touches — like a late-night churro station (game changer). If you’re looking for a catering team that feels more like family, Antigua is IT. They made our wedding feel like the best party Milwaukee has ever seen, and we couldn’t be happier. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Antigua Catering, you guys crushed it. Thank you for everything! Ethan R. P.S The Chimi

I had the pleasure of hiring Danielle to create the most stunning and unforgettable wedding flowers for my special day. From the initial consultation to the final installation, Danielle was nothing short of amazing. Her creativity and attention to detail were truly impressive. She brought my vision to life, crafting beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and adding touches throughout the venue that were absolutely breathtaking. The attention to detail was incredible, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. The quality of her work was exceptional, with each flower carefully selected and arranged to create a cohesive and stunning look. Danielle was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, working with me to ensure that every aspect of my wedding flowers was tailored to my specific needs and preferences. What truly set Danielle apart, however, was her ability to add those extra special touches that made my wedding truly unforgettable. From the way she transformed the venue into a beautiful setting to the thoughtful details that added a personal touch to each arrangement, Danielle truly understood the importance of creating a memorable and romantic atmosphere. In short, I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and professional florist.

Hey Beauts. My name is Gemma-Louise. I have been a bridal specialist for 11 years and am still as in love with it as I was on day 1. I don't have one particular vibe. I like all the vibes! I love working with brides who are open minded. Putting my own little twist into an upstyle is my fav thing to do. Making your hair not look exactly like the photo (cause that's already been done) is my jam. But I can absolutely recreate a look if that's what you want. I do also have a bridal team if i am unavailable. Speak soon Beauts.

I hired Gemma for my 11/11 wedding and I received so many compliments on my hair all night! My glam waves were so beautiful and lasted all night. My bridesmaids and mom looked great as well. I would highly recommend Gemma to any bride. She will make sure to you look perfect!

I LOVE what I do! I received my Aesthetics degree from Vici Park, an Aveda Institute in 2006 in Milwaukee, WI. Makeup artistry has been a career that I’ve always wanted to advance in. I started out a salon in 2006 and knew after 11 months that I was meant to be a business owner. I saw a need from brides to have makeup services on location in their own home or hotel and thus Blush by Brittany was created. I am going to make you look like You!

Brittany was great! She did my whole wedding party and moms makeup (9 total) in a timely manner and even finished ahead of schedule. She is great at bringing out your natural features without overdoing it, everyone looked gorgeous! She has a comfortable presence to her as well which is calming on your wedding day!

I am so glad that we worked with Lyssa and Modern Sage for their day of coordination services. We started planning our wedding on our own as we had a good idea of what we wanted, but working with Lyssa made the planning process easier as I didn't have to take the time to look up recommendations on things like how much to tip vendors, I could just reach out to Lyssa. We hired Lyssa because we didn't want to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding, but I couldn't imagine how much of a difference having her involved would make. She helped with so many little things during the event that I just didn't have to think twice about anything other than enjoying my wedding and spending time with our guests. From making sure everything was set up for the ceremony and making sure we both always had a drink or whatever else we possibly needed, to saving some of the passed appetizers for us to enjoy and putting together an incredible video for us after the wedding, Lyssa did it all and so much more. Whether you are looking for a wedding planner or just someone to help with the details day of, I highly recommend working with Lyssa and Modern Sage as she will run with whatever you ask her to do and will make sure you can be in the moment and not worrying about the details.

My photography business was born in sunny San Diego, but a new adventure has led me to the midwest! I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife, our two cats, Nesta and Zinnia, and our dog, Clementine. I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at UC Davis and went on to my Masters at UCSD in Healthcare Administration. Through all of this professional development, photography has been my constant and my creative outlet. I have been capturing moments for the past six years. To me, photography is a practice and a ritual. I am inspired by emotion, movement and adventure. I can't wait to meet you and capture your adventures.

I've worked alongside a lot of photographers, & Puneet is among the best of em. He was both professional & good-natured for the whole event. I personally knew the couple we were working for, and I was in awe of the album he put together afterwards. Not only was I amazed by all the perfect moments he was able to capture, but the pictures of my food was some of the best I've ever seen. In short, I highly recommend this dude.

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.

Loved working with Allie! Not to mention the photos were exactly what we wanted. She was fun, on time, prepared, found a great 2nd shooter, and worked quickly! But we never felt rushed and got all the shots we wanted. She even bustled my dress :) haha. We did a mini session beforehand and were so pleased and it made us even more hyped for Wedding Day!

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!

I have known Liz for quite literally, my entire life. I don’t say this to expose bias (though I certainly am), but I say this because Liz is who she always has been: organized, professional, and dedicated to craft. When I initially reached out to Liz to photograph my wedding, I told her we didn’t need getting ready photos, we just need ceremony, some pictures of us, and family photos, but being who she is, she went above and beyond. She was at the church just moments after I had arrived and was already hard at work creating detailed shots of my dress, accessories, and family who were arriving. She went above and beyond the call of duty and I was already impressed, as I knew I would be. Liz was so fun and easy to work with, and she excels at giving direction. We had talked about my vision a week prior to the date and Liz helped guide and execute it beautifully and in a way that was fun and put everyone at ease. She was flexible, but she knows how to get the shot you’re looking for. She’s well researched and equipped for your needs. Our day was magical, and the photos reflect that beautifully. I am over the moon with how stunning our photos turned out- I cannot emphasize enough how much they turned out exactly as I had envisioned. I will cherish them for a lifetime, and there was no one better for the job. I also cannot believe how affordable the price was for the quality of the service and photos themselves. Liz was also willing to drive hours to photograph our day with a reasonable fee. If you’re looking for a photographer to photograph your day, or really any occasion, I cannot recommend Liz at Wide Open Photography enough.

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!

Hello there sweet friend! My name is Taylor Chmill and I’m a photographer based in Milwaukee, WI! Most people call me TK and know me as the girl who loves summer camp and has alllll the freckles! I'm outgoing with a bubbly personality and I can't wait to learn how I can serve you best on your beautiful wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was first drawn to Taylor’s style of photography - bright and cheerful. After we met with her, it was clear her personality matched. She is clearly very organized and can sweetly but firmly command the room. She also helped us so much with planning (and replanning!) the schedule for both our small wedding ceremony in 2020 and big rescheduled wedding reception in 2021. She was always excited and open to small personal things I wanted to add. I cannot recommend her enough (and to back that up, my maid of honor also picked Taylor to photograph her wedding next year as well!)

He prides himself on being an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, having played the violin for over 20 years and picked up several other instruments along the way, including guitar, drums, bass, and banjo. Jack has been DJing weddings and school dances since the spring of 2015. He is not only a skilled mixer and request manager, but an engaging MC who can lead any special dances or activities you have in mind.

We absolutely loved working with Jack Boatman! He brings a great mix of professionalism and fun to the party! Not only did he DJ our event he also played violin for our ceremony and did amazing uplighting in our reception. Not only that, he offered to attend our rehearsal dinner so everyone was feeling good about their cues and we all had the lay of the land. He helped with timelines, let us choose custom songs for our ceremony, helped us pick the right uplighting program and truly just was a great addition to our vendor team. He was down for anything we threw at him and kept our dance floor absolutely packed the entire evening! We loved every second of working with Jack and would absolutely recommend hiring him for your wedding!

I aspire to deliver perfectly imperfect images that will be treasured forever. My style is documentary & candid. While I do enjoy posed moments, I believe your family's love shines through best when you are being yourselves. This means you don't have to worry about kids being on their best behavior - I am a professional toddler wrangler & believe the crazy moments create the best pictures. You don't have to be a professional model to have a fun session that comes with gorgeous imagery. You, your partner, & your family only need to be yourselves, and with some direction from me, I promise you will receive your new favorite pictures.

Bailey is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication style is clear, kind, and patient. The quality of her work is professional and dreamy—she captured gorgeous, timeless photos. She has a grounding presence. I highly recommend Bailey to any couple looking for a talented, personable wedding photographer.
