Antigua Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves West 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

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves West Milwaukee, WI

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 cannot recommend Gemma enough! I and my bridal party used Gemma for both of my weddings (one small one due to Covid and another to celebrate with everyone) and her work cannot be beat. Gemma is always willing to listen to what style you would like, but give her the creative freedom because she has an incredible vision. I would recommend Gemma to anyone that asks -- you will not find a better stylist for your wedding day.

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 is a wonderful make up artist and person to have for wedding day get ready vibes and so talented! She is incredibly efficient, and helps with recommendations. She did my wedding make up perfectly, and exactly how I envisioned it. It looked so clean and natural, and stayed all night. I felt so beautiful! Brittany is also very professional in communication and advice. I was nervous leading up to the wedding day, as I was not sure how to coordinate/schedule all 9 of us getting make up and hair done, but Brittany assured me that we will make it flow great on the day of, and gave me some tips on how to prepare for the morning. She gives great make up and skin care tips on her instagram too!

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.

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.

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.
