“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!”

Dresden Castle

Rating: 5.0 (1 review)

“I recently attended a wedding at Dresden Castle for a close friend, and having been looped into much of the planning, I can confidently say the venue and its team exceeded expectations. The space itself is breathtaking—historic architecture, stained glass, and vaulted ceilings that give the entire event a sense of timeless elegance. It’s rare to find a venue that feels both grand and intimate, but Dresden Castle strikes that balance beautifully. The garden area was especially memorable for photos and quiet moments between the ceremony and reception. From what I observed and heard throughout the planning process, Jason and Alex were outstanding partners. They were responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Their flexibility with vendors, clear communication, and calm presence during setup made a huge difference. They anticipated needs before they became issues and handled last-minute adjustments with grace. The amenities were modern and well-maintained—sound system, WiFi, private rooms for the wedding party, and a layout that flowed naturally from ceremony to celebration. The staff were professional and courteous, and the bartenders kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. As a guest, I was impressed. As someone who saw the behind-the-scenes effort, I was even more so. Dresden Castle is a gem for couples who want a venue that’s visually stunning, logistically sound, and run by people who truly care.”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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.

“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.

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.

“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!”

“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.”

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!”

One Shot Scott Photography

“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.”

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.
