Hazel & Casey
our party people
james
Officiant
James is a videographer, Uncle of the Bride, and very wonderful human. Along with his wife, Sharon, the couple has spent the last >20 years renovating a historic home in Mineral Point, WI back to it's original state. He has a surplus of interesting knowledge and always is a treat to talk to. Uncle Jim is one of Hazel's favorite people and she feels so honored he will be the one to wed her and Casey.
elliot
Best Man
Elliot is Casey's Best Man, best friend, and one of the best boys around. He is the Head Bartender at Spoon and Stable and makes one of the meanest Daiquiri's in town. Spend your time talking to him about how to make the best dang cocktails you've ever had at home and what leather jacket you should invest in.
charlotte
Matron of Honor
Char is Hazel’s older sister. She has encountered many of life’s hardships bravely and helped Hazel along similar journeys. If she went to Hogwarts she would be in Hufflepuff because she is hard-working, friendly, loyal, and so genuine. Hazel wouldn’t the person she is today without Char’s sisterly guidance. Also she made a kick-ass baby.
carolyn
Maid of Honor
Also referred to as “Hazel’s Twin”, Carolyn is the youngest Stroschein girl. She has grown up to be a wildly impressive young woman; finishing up her college degree while exploring her talents in art and interest in feminism. Hazel would for sure be her BFF if they weren't sisters, especially since they've spent two weeks exploring Europe together.
brody
Groomsman
Mr. Brody Howard is yet another good boy around town here in Minneapolis. He tends bar at Young Joni (there's a theme here) and you'll know him as soon as he flashes his winning smile. He's an artsy type, so when he's not mixing drinks you can find him working on some graphic design or another.
celia
Bridesmaid
Celia is one of Hazel's best friends who recently relocated to San Francisco. She is the person you call when you want in-depth conversations about love, truth, politics, and mental health. Her and Hazel have also raised sons (dogs) along-side one another.
samuel
Groomsman
Samuel is Casey's oldest brother who blazed the trail of restaurant and hospitality work (yet another bartender) that Casey has also found his calling in. Sam will be quick to say that Casey stole his style but does it better. He currently resides just outside of Boston, Mass. with his lovely wife Angela
caroline
Bridesmaid
Caroline is the only bridesmaid with a motorcycle, so she is clearly the coolest one of us all. Hazel fell deeply in love with Caroline as soon as she heard her joyous laugh and realized their compatible humor.
jake
Groomsman
Jake is Casey's other older brother and second tallest in the family. Jake breaks the trend in this group and works in the world of finance. Jake and his wife Emily live in Minneapolis and are expecting their first child!
miranda
Bridesmaid
Miranda and Hazel quickly bonded over their similar careers. This friendship soon grew into a deep love and respect. Miranda is an old soul who welcomes all with an impressive amount of kindness. She will always have a place in her home for you.
grace
Groomswoman
Grace is Casey's oldest friend having known each other for nearly 20 years! Grace recently took the long way home to Minnesota from Madison, driving all around the country with her partner Ryan and their dog Penny.
trevor
Bridesman
Trevor is Hazel's younger brother, but growing up they were often confused for twins. Every situation is more fun with Trevor around. He has only the best jokes, warmest hugs, and sick dance moves. Hazel feels very lucky her lil' bro will be standing by her side.
peter
Groomsman
Peter (or Petercat as he likes to be known, please ask him about his cats) is not a bartender but knows his way around a cocktail and is a server here in Minneapolis at Burch Steak. He and his lovely partner Edie are close friends of Casey and Hazel.
hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah enjoys long runs on the treadmill and night time snuggles with her two cats. She emanates joy through everything she does and has the voice of an angel (literally - she’s a trained opera singer!)
matt
Groomsman
Matt Knetsch is yet another bartender, working with Elliot at Spoon and Stable. In an odd twist of fate Matt's younger brother Cam was one of Jake's high school friends. The Underkofler's and the Knetsch's have a long history of little league baseball together and deep Saint Paul roots.
lindsay
Bridesmaid
Lindsay is the rock and roll queen of Hazel’s heart. Equipped with a fierce independence and love of literally all the coolest things (Star Wars, live shows, leather jackets), there ain’t no true party to be had without Linds.
bisbie
Honor Attendant
Bisbie is Hazel's first true love and adoptive-son of Casey. He is the most perfect dog in the world and YOU BET YOUR BUTTS HE IS GONNA BE AT THE WEDDING!!!
shelby
bisbie's personal attendant
Shelby is Bisbie’s Godmother and official babysitter. She can also be found working with Hazel as a nurse and drawing adorable portraits of Lil’ Bis.
zak
Ring Bearer
{Nephew of the Bride} With every successful wedding processional there needs to be an expert in charge, and that's where Zak comes in. His resume includes: previous ring-bearer experience, Pokemon-Go expert, and swimming better than any other 5-year-old in the world.
ezra
Ring Bearer
{Nephew of the Bride} Ezra is a part-time model and full-time heart breaker. He took time from his busy schedule as a two-year-old to make sure the wedding has a guaranteed amount of "adorableness".
adam
bartender
Adam is a Bartender at local distillery Tattersall and has kindly taken the time to mix drinks at our wedding! Ask him for a Bijou riff or Casey's favorite an Aquavit Negroni.
stephen
bartender
Stephen and Casey worked together at Marvel Bar for two years and has also agreed to come make libations! Ask Stephen for your favorite cocktail or just the first thing that pops into your head (he once made a cocktail based only on Gary Busey)
