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!

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!!!

Working with Amy through Veronica Rose Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose the month-out package, and from the moment Amy stepped in, she completely took the stress off my shoulders. She immediately connected with all of our vendors, got everyone on the same timeline, and made sure the entire day flowed seamlessly. I can’t even begin to describe how many behind-the-scenes tasks she handled that I would have never thought of, things that made such a big difference and allowed me to be fully present and enjoy the day. Amy was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. On the wedding day, she checked in constantly to make sure we had everything we needed, and she always seemed one step ahead of us. I had a LOT of decor and small details that mattered so much to me, and she placed everything perfectly and it looked beautiful, exactly how I envisioned it. Seeing it all come together brought me so much joy, and I have Amy to thank for that. What stood out most was Amy’s calm and caring presence. She talked to me not just as a planner, but like a friend who truly wanted the day to be perfect for us. Knowing she was there, managing the logistics, advocating for us, and making sure no detail was missed gave me the peace of mind I didn’t think was possible on such a big day. If you are on the fence about getting a planner, especially a month-of coordinator, don’t hesitate. Veronica Rose is incredible. Amy exceeded every expectation, and I am so grateful she was by our side through such an important time. Our day was everything we dreamed of, and Amy played a huge role in making that happen.

I have a passion for organization, thoughtful planning, and meaningful details. I believe the most memorable weddings are created through connection, which is why I take the time to truly get to know my couples and their families. My goal is to create a seamless, stress-free wedding day that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable—allowing you to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Look no further!!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Sara as our month-of coordinator. From the very beginning, she was a source of calmness in what could have been a very stressful time. Her organizational skills were top-notch, and I could always rely on her to stay on top of every detail. She was genuinely kind, approachable, and made the planning experience so fun. Each booked vendor that came from Sara's recommendation was 10/10. She knows the local wedding industry well, and she respects her clients' budgets without losing quality. Sara’s kindness and sense of humor was a breath of fresh air, and I truly looked forward to every conversation and meeting with her. She had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel fun, and I will really miss laughing with her during the planning process. One of the stand-out things I appreciated most about Sara was how she always had my back. She made sure that our wedding day was exactly how my husband and I envisioned it, no outside opinions or pressures influencing our decisions or timeline. Sara was incredibly respectful and professional with all guests and vendors, yet she kept it real in a way that made me feel totally comfortable to share any worries or thoughts I needed to talk through at any time. She made herself available for communication whenever I needed it, and talking to her truly felt like talking to a close friend—I always felt heard, supported, and like she genuinely cared about making our vision come to life. I knew she would step in and defend our vision no matter what. On the day of the wedding, Sara was beyond prepared. She anticipated every need before I even thought of it, and it was clear that she was completely dedicated to making sure everything ran smoothly. I will always look back on the day with a laugh as I picture Sara saving my dress with her Tide-to-Go pen, among other last-minute necessities she had packed. Sara’s attention to detail was incredible. She went above and beyond by transporting decor to and from various locations and found ways to make everything more convenient for us, so we didn’t have to lift a finger or stress about anything. Everything stayed so organized. Thanks to Sara, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without a single worry. Any potential anxiety I had that month was immediately eased, because I knew Sara had it all under control. She took care of every possible roadblock with such grace and efficiency that I didn’t even know there was a potential issue unless she absolutely needed to inform me. She handled everything exactly how I would have wanted, without ever involving me unnecessarily. What I will always remember about Sara is not just her professionalism and reliability, but the kindness, humor, and calming presence she brought to everything she did. She is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. We are so grateful for her.

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!

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. We have had so many family and friends just love the photos when we shared them! Mark's professional experience put us at ease from the moment he arrived and the communication was great from the first phone call. We feel so fortunate to have chosen Mark to be our photographer as his ability in working with all of us, was so calming and fun, plus our pictures turned out so awesome! We look forward to celebrating our 1st Anniversary on September 29th and have incredible photos to forever enjoy!

A DJ will make or break a party and Milwaukee Underground Productions MADE OUR PARTY! 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. Chris’s set up was so sleek and looked very professional, from the up-lighting to the DJ booth. He was professional, funny, and a great DJ/MC.

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves West Milwaukee, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

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.

We had an amazing experience working with Kayla for our wedding. From my first introduction to her it was clear that she is extremely organized and thinks of every detail. For our engagement shoot we gave her a few ideas of the direction we wanted to go, and she created an entire vision. We were nervous about being unnatural in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and gave us good directions! We are so thrilled with how our wedding day photos turned out. She captured our day so beautifully with our family and friends and we truly couldn't be happier with our photos! We will cherish these memories she captured for life.

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!

Hi, I'm Dominika. I'm happily married and a mama to two awesome daughters. I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

Dominika was such a wonderful addition to our special day! I have followed her photography on Instagram for years and absolutely love how she captures the moment. We knew this would be a "destination" wedding for her (she is Milwaukee based and our wedding was in Rhode Island), but through all the emails, calls and texts, it felt like she was with us every step of the way while planning. She worked with us to understand exactly what we wanted photo-wise, coordinated with a local photographer to ensure we didn't miss anything, and helped us setup all the scheduling. She arrived a day early to check out all the spots that my husband and I had picked, so that there weren't any surprises. We got our sneak peek photo set quickly and then the complete package exactly on time as promised. There were a few photos that we asked for small changes to (conversion to B&W, framing adjustments & having something photoshopped out) and Dominika took care of it immediately. We are so incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out!!! Couldn’t have asked for or trusted anyone better to capture our special day. Thank you thank you!!
