Antigua Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Whitefish Bay, 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

Azure came to us when we needed her the most! Our wedding venue changed last minute and we were without a photographer. Little did we know that it was a blessing in disguise in so many ways! Azure captured our day perfectly! We were so grateful for her own beautiful faith background because she knew exactly what to highlight during our Nuptial Mass. Our photographs are absolute treasures, and she was professional, kind, creative, and so easy to work with. She even got us previews of our photos within a few hours of our wedding!!

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.

Working with Gemma was a dream. She was so sweet and kind. We did a trial that turned out amazing but I ended up slightly changing what I wanted to do day of and she executed my hair even better than I could have imagined! She made my girls look gorgeous as well.

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!

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.

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.

It’s culture. It’s a way to celebrate heritage, create memories, and share joy on life’s most special occasions. Helping couples add a unique and meaningful touch to their wedding day through my craft brings me so much happiness and fulfillment.

Always a big hit at our parties! I will always recommend Tapas Ricas for any occasion. Nasha is the best at what she does!!

The Smoke Shack

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $36

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!

The Smoke Shack was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding catering. From our first conversation, their team was friendly, efficient, and highly professional. On the day of the wedding, the food was delicious and served hot and ready on time. Our guests raved about the quality and flavor of the dishes, and plates were kept full without us having to ask. The Smoke Shack team worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, so we didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to the catering. Their reasonable prices and excellent service made them a fantastic value, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

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!
