LONG OVERDUE!!
I got married August 2012, and should have gotten this done a long time ago.. BUT wanted to share my experience with all the future brides.
Zilli Hospitality group: A+
Venue: Coast Restaurant
Milwaukee WI
Our wedding: We wanted something trendy, romantic and memorable.. and that was what we got! We were married on the veranda of Coast at 4:30pm, August 24th,2012. The cocktail hour took place on the deck, overlooking the museum and lake front. We have about 115 guests. The reception and dinner was inside, followed by dancing and more cocktails.
WOW! My now husband and I were just thrilled at how wonderful they were from start to finish. I set up a meeting with one of the wedding planners, Heather. Heather was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made the whole planning process very simple. She is prompt, attentive and has GREAT follow up and you can tell she has been doing this for a while. She made everything so easy! ( I am a controlling/overly organized bride with a million questions. I had a wedding notebook /folder hat was 3 inches thick!!!) I cannot tell you how happy I was with her and Heather and Zilli. They made me feel like I was their ONLY bride.
They had several different competitive packages, just h’orderves, to elaborate or simple buffet options, to sit down choices. We chose the buffet. The staff at Zilli made it feel so posh and impressive!! The staff was attentive, and the service was perfect! The food was AMAZING, and the presentation was classy and chic. I still get compliments on the food 1 year later. The staff even reserved appetizers, and a serving of our mini martini for us and our wedding party to have when we got done with photos. Heather even had her wait staff know the name of our signature drink (one that we created to remember our engagement in Hawaii) to inform guests when they served it! I am cannot tell you how great the food was… the service was impeccable. The attention to detail was there. It made our planning process easy, enjoyable and our wedding day just PERFECT.
I keep saying perfect, because that was what it was. The day of our wedding went perfect, no surprises, no concerns, thank you to Heather, Zilli and all the other vendors that made the day run soo smoothly. It was everything we wanted, and as a controlling crazy bride 
everything I wanted.. I cannot say enough GREAT things about Zilli Hospitality Group and Heather.
