Why Choose Brazen Standard for Your Wedding?
You could consider Brazen Standard Hospitality a one-stop-shop for your wedding catering, desserts and drinks. But they are so much more – they’ve been in the industry since 2009, and since then have grown into one of Milwaukee’s top wedding caterers with a focus on local and sustainability.
So, yes, you’ll get delicious food and drinks, but we think their biggest benefit is their people and their values. They care about the environment and support local all while creating high-quality dining experiences for their guests.
Here’s a more in-depth look at the businesses that make up Brazen Standard’s family of brands. Remember, you can hire one or all of these brands for your wedding and expect the same award-winning, exceptional service they’ve been delivering since 2009.
Tall Guy and a Grill

Commitment to the Environment
The first and only certified green caterer in Wisconsin, Tall Guy is leading the way for event caterers to provide delicious, unique experiences while remaining sustainable. By composting and recycling, they keep 80 percent of their waste out of landfills.

Commitment to Local Ingredients
In addition, Tall Guy and Grill sources 50 percent of their ingredients from Wisconsin farms and small-batch artisans. They bring Wisconsin quality to you and your guests while supporting the small businesses behind them. We love that!!
Fun fact, the owner, Dan, is really a tall guy (6’5 to be exact!). Another fun fact – we’ve known him since before we started Married In Milwaukee. He’s a great guy that cares about his team, business, community and the environment. Kudos Dan for building one of Milwaukee’s top wedding catering companies.
