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!

Ward 3 was absolutely amazing; we were lucky enough to work with Elena as our lead photographer and Irv as our lead videographer and from the start everyone was so communicative and put us at ease even early on in the planning process. They all just kept asking day of, how they could help us make the day go smooth and it really truly meant more than I could ever explain because it showed they weren't just there for photos and a paycheck, but they were there for US as a couple. Super quick turnaround time with sneak peek photos and I'm already blown away by the talent Ward 3 has in their photographers. I cannot wait to see everything else and our video :) Would recommend them too absolutely everyone!

Do not hesitate booking with Ward 3. Brock and Julia were our 2 videographers for our wedding day, and we have nothing but amazing things to say about the two of them. We met with Brock a week or so before our wedding day and he was very thorough, kind, and professional. Julia was my hype girl the minute she stepped in the day of the wedding, just the sweetest soul and made me feel so comfortable. They both made the day seamless. We are so grateful for this team and couldn't imagine this day without them. We are so excited to see the footage, and just know it will be amazing! 3

We just got married over a month ago and we can’t stop talking about how perfect of a day it was. All of that is thanks to Veronica and the help of Meg. We booked Veronica as our month of planner and she truly went above and beyond. She made her resources available to us immediately after booking her, which was still 1 year to go from our wedding date. We both felt so comfortable with her. We were never afraid to ask questions or bring up concerns. The month leading up to the wedding I truly was not stressed at all. Veronica was in contact with all of our vendors making sure every detail was perfect. She would join the vendor meetings and advocate for my husband and I to make sure we got what we wanted out of our big day. She was such a pleasure to work with! We can’t thank her enough. We feel like we gained a friend from this whole process. We can’t recommend her enough!! -The Bistas 06.15.24

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Stephanie as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos! From the very first inquiry to receiving our beautifully edited photos, she was consistently responsive, thorough, and communicative. We always knew what to expect and when, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. One thing that really stood out to us was how Stephanie helped us choose photo locations when we weren’t quite sure where to go. She offered thoughtful suggestions and even gave her honest opinions about lighting and layout when needed, which we truly appreciated. On the big day, Stephanie made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us had any experience with professional photography prior to working with Stephanie, so we were initially worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but she made the entire process so comfortable. She was so sweet and calming, which was really appreciated on a day that has a lot of moving parts. She was even thoughtful enough to adjust our hair or tweak our poses when needed to make sure every photo was just right. Stephanie has the perfect balance of being easygoing yet incredibly organized. She made sure that all of the photos we wanted were taken, while also capturing so many beautiful candid moments. Her artistic eye when capturing details is truly something special, and she has such a knack for getting those perfectly posed portraits as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such an important day, and we would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for making our wedding day so memorable with your stunning work!

We searched for a photographer for our Lake Geneva wedding but it was a bit difficult as we both live in Chicago. Luckily, I had read some really great reviews about Ari Rosenthal Photographers and was thrilled when I talked with Ari. He was helpful and professional, had our date available and their price was perfect. Mark, one of the photographers and the one who we chose, was amazing to work with on our special day. We have had so many family and friends just love the photos when we shared them! Mark's professional experience put us at ease from the moment he arrived and the communication was great from the first phone call. We feel so fortunate to have chosen Mark to be our photographer as his ability in working with all of us, was so calming and fun, plus our pictures turned out so awesome! We look forward to celebrating our 1st Anniversary on September 29th and have incredible photos to forever enjoy!

Hey, I’m Alex—founder of Redwood Weddings and your behind-the-scenes bestie for all things planning. I didn’t grow up dreaming about weddings, but I did grow up organizing, (lovingly) bossing people around, and making sure everyone was taken care of. Turns out, those were all the signs. What started as a summer job at a Napa winery turned into a full-heart business here in Wisconsin. Now, I lead a team of detail-loving, down-to-earth planners who are obsessed with creating weddings that feel like magic—not cookie-cutter, just wildly you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex and Katie at Redwood were incredible for day-of-coordination. They made planning less stressful by answering our questions, providing useful resources, and giving great feedback on timeline. On the day-of, Katie managed set up/clean up, kept us on track, and gave us a general sense of peace. I’m usually a little Type A, but as a bride I felt I could fully chill and enjoy the day with Katie there - we were in good hands. She worked seamlessly with our vendors, venue, and officiant (a friend who officiated for the first time) and checked the little details. We loved her so much, we recommended her to some friends and we’ll see her in a month at their wedding!

Where do we even start! From the very first email, Colin was such a calming and supportive presence throughout the whole wedding planning process. Anytime I had a question or worry (which I had a few), he was right there with reassurance and quick answers - even when I’d email him late at night, he somehow would respond within minutes! That kind of responsiveness and care meant so much to us, especially in the week leading up to the wedding with things get hectic. He went above and beyond for our rehearsal, helping us run through every detail and setting up mics and speakers so efficiently that everything flowed seamlessly. It gave us such a peace of mind knowing he had everything under control. On the wedding day, Colin handled two complete sound setups - his wireless one for our outdoor ceremony and his main for the reception - and both were absolutely flawless! The sound quality was perfect the entire day; guests could hear every word of our ceremony and every speech crystal clear. There wasn’t a single hiccup. Then came one of the biggest surprises of the night - cold sparks! Colin and my husband had planned them without me knowing, and it was truly one of my favorite parts of the evening. It made our first dance feel straight out of a movie and the photos from that moment are unreal. If anyone is on the fence about adding cold sparks - DO IT! You won’t regret it. The Photo Booth was a huge hit with our guests! Colin recently upgraded with a printer which people were obsessed with being able to take home their photos (a little built in favor). It kept guests entertained all night long and added such a fun, interactive element to our reception. What really stood out though, was how Colin and his wife (who was his wonderful assistant that day) made everything so personal. They were professional yet warm, blending right into the crowd and truly feeling like family celebrating alongside us. Colin kept the energy flowing, a smooth timeline, and the dance floor full all night long. Looking back, we can’t imagine our day without Sound Love. Colin helped make everything easy, stress-free, and so much fun. We are endlessly grateful we chose him and will always recommended Sound Love to EVERY couple looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers beyond expectations. Thank you, Colin, for everything you do.

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.

I have had the honor of working in the wedding industry for nearly 8 years now & have only recently branched off as an independent wedding planner. From your ceremony and reception to an engagement party or rehearsal dinner, let’s save you the stress & leave all the coordination to me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Monique was such an important piece to our big day, it’s hard to put all of the crucial things she did for us into one review. She is a wedding planner that just had the X-factor, she does it all! From day one of working with her, we could tell she wanted the best for us and wanted to make our lives easier by keeping wedding planning fun. One of the greatest things about having Monique was her responsiveness and ability to answer ANY questions we had. There are so many questions that pop up and before we worked with Monique we didn’t know where to go to get them answered, but after working with her it was such a relief to know she would help answer all of them. On our wedding day, she truly made our wedding dream come to life. We still don’t really know how she did it all, especially with our wedding or 250 people. We even added in an extra photo shoot to the timeline and some fun little things, and she helped the day flow so smoothly. All we had to do was get married and enjoy our company! It was so much fun, and a large reason we felt that way was because Monique was there to take care of all the stressors behind the scenes. (She even steamed my dress the morning of!!) If you didn’t know, she also does content creation packages and I think it is one of my favorite things that we decided to do for our wedding. She captured so many special moments and we got to relive our day right away! She sent over all the video and pictures and we are still rewatching and going through all the content she captured to this day.

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves St. Francis, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

Aggie's Bakery and Cake Shop has been baking and creating masterpiece wedding cakes for over 40 years and we look forward to working with you! Our cakes are known for incredible texture and flavor and the delicious flavors are the result of a combination of baking mastery and passion that is simply unsurpassed. We use only the highest quality ingredients, recipes, and baking practices resulting in exceptionally delicious and moist cakes.

Aggie's Bakery & Cake Shop was a mixed leading up to our wedding day. The communication style from the owners was rude, rushed, and slow at times, which caused some minor hiccups that were partly my own fault for not reading everything carefully before confirming (wedding brain). However, the end result was absolutely worth it - the two beautiful 3-tiered cakes they created were simply gorgeous, decadent, and had everyone at our wedding raving about the incredible taste. Despite the less-than-ideal communication, Aggie's Bakery delivered on the quality and value of their work, creating cakes that were truly the highlight of our dessert table.

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.

My husband and I got married this year and worked with Kayla for both our engagement session and wedding day. I had found Kayla while looking at photos taken at Turner Hall, our venue, and was beyond excited that I was able to book her. She was so friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. Having an engagement session wasn’t something we had planned for, but we’re glad we did it because she gave us a ton of great tips that helped us on our big day, and it was a great opportunity for us to get to know each other. Her candid style was just what we wanted, and exactly what we got. Thank you, Kayla, for the beautiful photos we will cherish forever!

We cannot recommend Said highly enough! He is incredibly professional and responsive to all our questions. It was clear from the start that he knew exactly what he was doing. Said took the time to ask all the right questions to truly understand the specific vibe and music we wanted for our wedding. He managed guest requests well (we didn't want everything to be played, and he did a fantastic job filtering through them so we only heard the music we actually liked). On the day of, his setup was fast, the sound quality was excellent, and his lighting made the dance floor fun. Our biggest priority was keeping people on the dance floor, and Said delivered. The floor was packed from the first song until the very end of the night! We are still getting comments from friends about how much fun they had and how impressed they were that the dancing never stopped.

She goes above and beyond with her delivery of images too. She’s always given us more images than what we’ve paid for just because she enjoys the shoot so much and the images. You can tell she loves what she does through her work! She’s always timely with her shoots and delivery of images! She got us close to 100 preview images within a day of our wedding. We love working with her and highly recommend her!!!

From our first call with One Shot Scott Photography, we knew we were in good hands. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and personable throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, her attention to detail and ability to seamlessly capture all the special moments was truly impressive. The final photos were absolutely beautiful, plentiful, and perfect - we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. One example that stands out was when I asked her what time it was, and she simply told me not to worry about it, which I loved because it allowed me to be fully present without having to constantly check the clock. We are beyond thrilled with the work One Shot Scott Photography did and would highly recommend them to any couple, especially LGBT couples, looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Dominika Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves St. Francis, WI

Hi, I'm Dominika. I'm happily married and a mama to two awesome daughters. I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

Dominika was such a wonderful addition to our special day! I have followed her photography on Instagram for years and absolutely love how she captures the moment. We knew this would be a "destination" wedding for her (she is Milwaukee based and our wedding was in Rhode Island), but through all the emails, calls and texts, it felt like she was with us every step of the way while planning. She worked with us to understand exactly what we wanted photo-wise, coordinated with a local photographer to ensure we didn't miss anything, and helped us setup all the scheduling. She arrived a day early to check out all the spots that my husband and I had picked, so that there weren't any surprises. We got our sneak peek photo set quickly and then the complete package exactly on time as promised. There were a few photos that we asked for small changes to (conversion to B&W, framing adjustments & having something photoshopped out) and Dominika took care of it immediately. We are so incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out!!! Couldn’t have asked for or trusted anyone better to capture our special day. Thank you thank you!!
