Top Milwaukee Wedding Photo Locations
By · Leave a Comment
Your wedding celebration lasts a weekend at the most, but your wedding photographs will last a lifetime. For this reason, most couples look for photographs that are unique and hold good memories. For instance, when I popped the question to my bride, I did it in Cathedral Square Park at Christmas time – so naturally, some of our wedding photos were taken in Cathedral Square Park. Your wedding photographer should be able to help with your photo selections, but make sure you put your own personalized touch in there too. Don’t have a photographer yet? Check out our listing of Milwaukee wedding photographers.

Weddings at the The Astor Hotel
By · Leave a Comment
We had our wedding reception at the Astor Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. The Astor has a ballroom that’s filled with old world charm and we loved it. We didn’t do a sit down dinner, but instead did a cocktail recpetion where the food was served in stations and our guests could eat whenever they wanted. This made the reception more social and gave us more time to sociallize with our guests.

This post is from a good friend of ours: We had our wedding reception at Klemmer’s Banquet Center on Oklahoma- just off of I94. The food was excellent and the prices are very reasonable- everything was well organized and they set up many of the table decorations based on our instructions- I would definitely recommend this location to others.

Lake Park Lutheran Church Weddings
By · Leave a Comment
We had our wedding at Lake Park Lutheran Church, which is located on the East Side of Milwaukee (Downer Ave. area). We can’t say enough good things about the church and Pastor David. He took the time to get to know us and our personality and used that in our ceremony. We also were able to play our own music, which gave our wedding that unique, personalized touch.

Choosing a Milwaukee Reception Hall
By · Leave a Comment
When we got engaged, we already had the church and our next step was to choose a Milwaukee reception hall. We wanted our reception to be in or around downtown Milwaukee, so that helped narrow our choices a little.
