Milwaukee Caterers

MissBNicole — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:20:11 +0000

Hi all!

Does anyone have good suggestions for caterers in Milwaukee? I am working with a small budget and am interested possibly in "stations" which I hear is becoming more popular. We are having a small wedding & our venue allows us to bring in whatever caterer that we want. I am looking to only spend $25/person maximum.

Thank you all!

Friday Wedding?

What do people think about Friday weddings? One of the 2 places I like doesn't have any Saturdays available in the months that I am looking for... but they have a bunch of Fridays. Is that inconsiderate to guests because of work schedules / travel arrangements??

Unique Wedding Party Gifts

pengee1 — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:36:34 +0000

I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing what creative gift ideas they came up with for their wedding party? I want to come up with something very different, other than the "typical" gifts that are usually given and I'm stumped. Ideally, I would come up with something unique to each girl....but I come up with something really good, they may all just get the same. Please share if you don't mind! Thanks!! :)

KatieD212 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:22:22 +0000

I just booked my bridesmaids and myself for my wedding hair at A Do 4 U...it's on University Avenue, east side. Super friendly and affordable- Brides hair is $40 and the bridesmaids are only $35, which is a steal compared to most places! Just thought I would share. They don't have a website but they have a facebook fan page with their services and prices listed. Hope I could help someone out with this!

Central Wisconsin Photographer

mrsweber11 — Thu, 20 May 2010 16:16:10 +0000

I am getting married in April of 2011 in Marshfield. I am looking for a photojournalsitic styel photographer that can do my wedding. It is a morning wedding, so everything will be done by at least 4PM. I am in contact with one photographer, but she only emails me about once a week (if that) and I am afraid that this is how it is going to be the whole time I would be under contract. Because I don't need much time, I am looking to stay at $1000 and under for my budget. Any information will be much appreciated!!
