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 recently got married on 5/31/25 and reached out to a personal touch for a DJ 13 months before my wedding. We originally set everything up with Jared who is amazing! He made everything so easy we met him in person he explained how their company works and showed us the portal where we would provide all of the details for the DJ. Their pricing was also really well we ended up going with the wireless uplighting and Photo Booth and honestly so glad we did the uplighting it made the entire venue look even better. A month before our wedding we got assigned our DJ, Jonathan, and he couldn’t of been a better DJ. He did an intro call with me and discussed all of my concerns and my schedule and was very detailed in going over my timeline and added extras I wanted. Fast forward to my wedding and he literally killed it. There was a packed dance floor non stop with all ages and his transitions for his music were insane. People kept coming up to us and saying this is the best wedding they have been to the music is so good. We had people keep saying they didn’t want to leave because they didn’t want to stop dancing. Jonathan kept checking in with us through our the night which I appreciated so much and he even made sure to go over our bridal parties names beforehand to make sure he was pronouncing everyone’s name right. Honestly we have several people getting married that we know who have requested a personal touches info because of how good the music was. DJ Jonathan is a GEM and so is Jared. They made the entire process so seamless and they were easily one of the best vendors we worked with. I would rate them 100000/10. They are awesome!!!

My husband & I worked with Sara for our wedding this past July for month-of coordination, and it was a super easy, enjoyable, and fun experience. Sara was personally a joy to work with and we clicked quickly. She remembered every detail from our meetings, kept me organized, and tracked down vendors for answers which helped me immensely. She went above & beyond what I was expecting, and as someone who usually likes control over all of the details I trusted her immediately and knew we were in good hands. Day-of, she hustled so hard and executed on every detail we discussed, making our day worry and stress free. She has a great way with people – making sure everyone in our families knew what they were doing (wrangling 20 people) but in a personable, yet firm way! I will miss working with her, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. V

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!

Ari was great to work with! He was communicative, professional and always thinking of the details. There were options to fit our budget as well. Mark was our photographer and WOW HOLY COW! He was fun to work with and had this innate ability to bring out the best in everyone when capturing all the special moments. Then we received our digital photos, and they were absolutely spectacular! We were so impressed. Mark caught all moments with our family, friends and us, the bride and groom, that were loving, happy, beautiful, comedic, unexpected, reflective... We are in awe with all the shots and the quality. They are amazing. Ari also worked with us to do some minor editing on a few photos and organize them into a drop site. Definitely recommend Ari and Mark 100%!

I've been navigating the WI wedding industry since starting Redwoods in 2023. Before that, my love for events came from working at a winery in Napa, California.

When I'm not in office, you can find me walking my dogs, reading a book, finding a fun craft class or restaurant to visit with my husband Alex (yes we have the same name) or traveling.

Hiring Alex for full service planning was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We worked together for nearly two years and throughout that time, she was organized, detail-oriented, and helped us curate a rehearsal, welcome party, and wedding that our guests still rave about. She made us feel comfortable throwing around our crazy ideas from day one and helped us tailor them into a vision. On our wedding day, Alex made sure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing and truly made us feel like we were the guests of honor. It was amazing knowing we had someone we trusted 100% to advocate for us throughout the planning process & on our wedding day. Alex helped bring our vision to life even better than we could have imagined. We can confidently say that the weekend would not have been so perfect without her overseeing it all. She’s the best in the biz and we recommend her without question!

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.

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.

Getting married in WI while living and planning in CA could have been an interesting and difficult process but Amany made everything so easy from start to finish - organized, quick to respond & just the sweetest person to work with. She made the whole process totally stress-free. And Mary… I can’t say enough good things! She is SO talented and truly an artist. We first met on a virtual trial where I felt understood, comfortable and confident in the services to come. She nailed my vision perfectly — soft, glowy, and natural but still totally glam. My makeup lasted all day and night (highly recommend 10 hour day to switch things up from ceremony to reception) and I honestly felt like the most beautiful version of myself. My mom and friends all looked stunning too — everyone was obsessed! The day felt calm, fun, and full of good vibes thanks to Mary. This was not Mary's first rodeo and she was such a helpful joy to have around and someone I could trust throughout the entire day. I can't recommend Wide Eyed Bride more, absolute dream team and best decision I made for my wedding day!

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!

The UEC is a wonderful organization that does such great conservation work in our community and it pleased us very much to be able to support them with some of our wedding dollars. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous and shady. Inside, we love the beautiful wood paneling and rustic wood furniture, as well as the openness of the space and the big skylight. Danni, our event coordinator, was great to work with and very responsive to our emails and questions. It was great to feel so welcomed and comfortable as a queer couple. The UEC is very LGBTQIA friendly and we felt right at home! Oh and the beautiful natural surroundings made for great photos too!

Did you know that you are around your photographer more than any other vendor on your wedding day? It's so important to love your photographer and their style. I want to connect with you and take photos that really tell your story.

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.

The Best Place at Pabst was so easy to work with, affordable, flexible drink packages, lots of fun amenities, natural atmosphere and decor means you don’t need to do much decorating of your own, I could go on and on. Our guests could not stop raving about how unique, intimate and lovely the space was. We used the Blue Ribbon Hall which included a balcony space which we used to give our guests the opportunity to play classic WI card games; Euchre, Sheepshead, cribbage etc… It was a great, separate space to hang out but still be a part of the celebration and watch the dancing. The staff even accommodated our last minute request to play the Bucks playoff game on the projector during dinner! Our wedding included lots of guests from out of town and out of state and we really wanted a venue that embodied Milwaukee culture. This. Was. IT.
