Happy -- w e d d i n g w e e k -- to Katelyn and Alex!! The big day is almost here, as we prepare to celebrate these two at this weekend 💍

Here’s a little glimpse into their story 💫

Katelyn and Alex had their first date in July of 2022 at Full Mile Beer Co. That date quickly turned into feeling as though they have known each other for a lifetime. 2.5 years later they’ve enjoyed sporting events, cabin trips, and beach vacations including to Panama City Beach, FL where Alex proposed right by the ocean on a beautiful October evening. They can’t wait to start this next chapter of their lives as a married couple with their black lab, Millie, by their sides.

I can’t wait to celebrate with you this weekend, as you start this new chapter of your lives together! 🥂

What’s better than a week that ends with pie?! A week that ends with pie AND a wedding!!

We are kicking off a wedding week for Kristy and Tryg, who are getting married at this weekend 💍

Here’s a little bit into their love story 💫

Tryg and Kristy met while attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota. Their love blossomed through drinks that turned into hours of thoughtful conversation and dates that turned to a series of adventures wandering the snowy streets in Minneapolis. The couple has since moved to Pennsylvania where they have started building their lives together. Over the past five years, the couple has enjoyed exploring the outdoors, enhancing their culinary skills, and embarking on several East coast adventures. Cheers to many happy years!

I can’t wait to celebrate the two of you this weekend!! 🥂

Here’s a little sneak peek into their love story 💫

Caleb and Amelia had their first date in February of 2022 at Hop Haus Brewing Company. While snow was blowing outside, they enjoyed getting to know each other over a beer.

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Trenna and Ryan! We will be celebrating their wedding on Friday at 🥂

Here’s a little glimpse into their life story 💫

We met back in the summer of 2018 thanks to the good ‘ole dating app, Tinder. We quickly bonded over a shared love of food, drinks & cooking, Jesus, & enjoying all kinds of events in the Madison area. Two years later, we became dog parents to the one and only, Bandit, our rescue min pin! After spending 2 years living in a one bedroom apartment throughout quarantine, enduring work from home, Zoom birthday celebrations, game nights, and bible studies, & not being able to go out & about like we used to, we had to keep it interesting! So...we bought a house in December 2022! Shortly following, in April 2023, Ryan proposed to Trenna in the kitchen of their home stating...”I thought of a million ways to do this and I just wanted to do it in our forever home with my forever person.” We’ve so enjoyed our engagement season and look forward to all that God has in store for our lives as husband and wife!

I can’t wait to celebrate with the two of you as you start this new season of life as husband and wife! 💍

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to another great couple! Kaitlin and Michael are getting married at this Friday 💍

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

We met online right as the world was shutting down for COVID. As unfortunate as everything was, it gave us the opportunity to slow down, get to know each other, and connect on a deeper level.

When Michael proposed, everything he planned captured our relationship and love story perfectly. We have really loved traveling, cooking together, and spending time with our two dogs. We’ve spent the last few years starting to build our life together and can’t wait to continue seeing where things take us!

I can’t wait to celebrate with these two on Friday, and help bring their wedding dreams to life! 🥂

I always say I’m bias in my opinion on the importance of hiring a wedding planner for your event, but it truly is one of the best decisions you can make for your day 🤍 There are so many moving parts that make up a wedding day, and behind the scenes details we tend to, that many couples aren’t even aware of, to ensure a flawless event for couples and their guests.

Your day will fly by, and you should be able to be present for every bit of it, soaking up all the moments, creating memories, and reveling in the joy of new beginnings with your partner!

Executing the perfect day starts well before your event. I still remember the initial inquiry and consultation with Lindsey, and our many check-ins leading up to their wedding day, carefully planning all the details, sorting through the logistics, and unfolding a beautiful day on June 1, 2024 💍

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Marten, for allowing me to assist you in your wedding planning, and to see through your special day! 🥂

In just a couple days, Zach and Annika will exchange vows , and start their new chapter as ✨ husband and wife ✨

Happy •• W E D D I N G W E E K •• to this lovely couple!! I am so excited to see their day through this weekend, and help celebrate the two of them!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

They met online in 2018, and spoke for several weeks while Zach was touring with one of his bands, before they met in person. They were long distance for a little over a year until Zach moved in with Annika & her dog, Teague, in Milwaukee. (Teague has since decided he is Zach’s dog.) They bought their house in Sun Prairie in 2020, and adopted their second dog, Suki, in 2022, and have been living happily ever after!

They like to go to concerts, eat great food & travel as often as they can. On one trip, they ended up stuck at the Dallas airport for 12 hours, but it made them realize that they make a pretty good team in stressful situations! They can’t wait to cross more places off their travel bucket list together as husband & wife 🤍

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Megan and Corey!! This wonderful couple is getting married at this Saturday, and I’m so excited to see their day through! 💍

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story from Megan 💫

Corey and I met each other like many people our age... online. We first bonded over our love of the outdoors, adventure and trying new foods. After our first date at Sugar River Pizza, I knew Corey was someone I could see myself spending time and enjoying life with. He is always full of surprises and best of all has been supportive through it all. Throughout our relationship we have taken many trips, went back to school for our masters degree, changed jobs, bought a home and built a wonderful life. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.

In September of 2022 my friends and I had been planning a friends get together “back home”. We got together in the morning with all the friends and their kids, and in the afternoon did an adults only gathering on a dinner cruise on the Mississippi River. The morning was spent touring the Mississippi River museum, then lunch at a local brewery. We split ways to get ready for our dinner cruise, and Corey and I did walked through Eagle Point park, then waited to go back to Stone Cliff Winery to meet with our friends. The winery is situated along a gorgeous river walk which was perfect for getting an updated photo of us two together. While getting set up to take a picture together my cousin jokingly said “Corey, engagement photo?”, It was at that point that he responded with “well actually” and then dropped down to one knee and asked me the easiest question I have ever been asked. After the proposal, we finished the night off with dinner and drinks along the scenic Mississippi River. Many people ask me if I had any idea that he was going to propose, and I can honestly say I had no idea as my friends and I had been planning the get together for months so a proposal wasn’t even a thought. He couldn’t have picked a more perfect way to propose as he knows my friends mean the world to me.

I can’t wait to celebrate you both this weekend 🥂

Shouting happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Dan and Olivia!! I first met with these two in early 2022, to start the planning of their special day! After several venue tours, they fell in love with . They had their hearts set on a fall date, and decided 2024 was going to be their year!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

Dan and Olivia met the new-fashioned way, Tinder. One of their first conversations was about their favorite music. After Olivia answered Disney and Musicals, Dan was not so sure. But after talking for over a month they finally decided to meet up in person. For the first date they decided on trivia at a local bar. After a little under a year of dating, Olivia moved in with Dan. Mostly because she was excited to move in with him and only partly because she would be able to get cats. Less than a month after moving in, Mayzie and Maybel were adopted. Four years later, Dan, Olivia, Mayzie and Maybel moved from the condo in Columbus to a new house in Beaver Dam.

One of their favorite activities each year is the Treinen Farms corn maze. It was one of the early dates Dan and Olivia went on and they have come back every year since. Each year, Olivia takes the map and leads the way while Dan happily follows along holding the backpack with snacks and waters. While each year has been a successful year, 2021 was a highlight as Dan proposed to Olivia in the middle of the corn maze. Luckily it was towards the end of the maze as Olivia was a bit disoriented after the proposal. Over the years Dan and Olivia have enjoyed sharing their hobbies with one another. Olivia has joined a bowling league with Dan and has been to multiple basketball games, both Bucks and Badgers. She is happy to say she isn’t the lowest average in the league (luckily it’s a handicap league). Dan has now watched most Disney movies and has seen multiple musicals at Overture in Madison. It turns out he actually enjoys both.

I can’t wait to celebrate you two this weekend!! 🥂

Shouting a big happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Anna and Dan 🥂 These two are getting married at this Friday, and I’m so excited to celebrate with them and be a part of their big day!

Here’s a little bit about their love story (written by Dan, and edited by Anna) 😉 that got them to where they are today 💫

Anna and I met during an ice cream social at UWGB in February 2015. At least that is what she told her parents when they asked about us the first time. We met on Tinder. Yes, it works for some. Anna had two unique pictures on her profile. The first was her cat Kittycat, which I made sure to compliment on her size, as Kittycat took up Anna’s entire torso. The following picture was her in a water ski pyramid with her friends. I was thinking, wow, I actually matched up with this girl! She’s way cooler than me! So, one thing led to another, and we went on our first date at Buffalo Wild Wings. Anna was only a few minutes late and was nice enough to order food she was not hungry for. I later found out her dad had visited Green Bay, and Emily decided they would all go out to eat before Anna’s date. I met Emily about two dates later because she and Alex Collard just happened to be eating at Hagemeister Park during our date.

During the first year of dating, Anna and I frequently went to the opposite locations of everything in Green Bay because I grew up on the west side, and she attended UWGB on the “other side” of Green Bay. A very memorable date involved driving my truck from one side of Green Bay to the other with a flat tire and Anna following me. The entire time, I thought there was no way it could be flat. If it were flat, she would call me or let me know. Apparently, she was thinking the same thing, except she thought there was no way I wouldn’t know I had a flat tire. It is safe to say that I had to change my tire following our movie date.

Dan and Anna have gone on many trips together and love exploring and experiencing new places and cultures together. Almost 10 years later and they are so very excited to get married and start their future together as Mr. and Mrs. Meisel!

Jumping into a double header this next weekend, and super excited to celebrate two awesome couples!! 💍

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Allison and Michael, who are getting married at this weekend!

Here’s a little sneak peek into their love story 💫

Michael and Allison met on the dating app Hinge just as Michael was moving back to Wisconsin after spending a year living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Though they met online, they are convinced they at least saw each other at some point as Allison frequently shopped at Klein’s Floral & Greenhouses for years prior, which is where Michael works. Their first date was at Hop Haus in Fitchburg on September 21st, 2022 where they shared beers, photos from Utah (Allison had visited in 2018) of the same hikes they had both gone on, and Michael talked about his new baby niece and friend’s baby; Allison admired that in particular since she has always loved babies. They also bonded over the fact they both loved country music and plants! In September of 2023, Michael and Allison left for a trip to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun, Mexico. They had talked about getting engaged in the near future, but Allison didn’t know that Michael had talked to her dad, bought a ring, and carefully packed it into his carry-on bag which he brought to Cancun. On the morning of their 1 year anniversary, Michael and Allison woke up early to watch the sunrise on the beach. Allison shared with Michael that she had had a dream that night that he proposed on the beach at sunrise - shoutout to Michael for keeping his cool with that one. When they got to the beach, they saw a baby turtle trying to make its way to the ocean and helped him find his way, watching him swim off. Michael propped up his phone to take some photos of themselves, and before Allison knew it, he was on one knee with the most beautiful ring in his hand - she said ‘yes’!

Ahh!! Can’t wait to be a part of their special day and celebrate these two this weekend 🥂

Happy ✨ w e d d i n g w e e k ✨ to Samantha and Kent!! These two are getting married at this weekend, and after just over 2 years of working together to plan their special day, I am excited to see it all come together!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

Samantha and Kent have known each other since they were little. They started dating in 2018, after a trip to Copper Falls, and got engaged on top of Mt Rainier in Washington in 2022. Over the past 6 years, they have lived in Poynette, along with Samantha’s 2 sons, and added 2 golden retrievers and a bunny.

Cheers to another wonderful couple to celebrate this weekend at ! 🥂 Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Nora and Austin!!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

Nora and Austin’s story began in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where they first met on a notable New Year’s Eve. The spark between them ignited in a lively bar (better known as Twisted Moose) as they celebrated the arrival of the new year.

Fast forward a year, and Nora and Austin couldn’t help but naturally gravitate towards each other. It took them about 10 months to figure out that what they had was more than just a casual connection.

After graduating, Nora and Austin moved to Madison, Wisconsin, excited to start their life together. They helped each other navigate their new adult jobs and explored their new city.

Nora and Austin enjoy trying new restaurants, indulging in movie and show marathons, hunting, fishing, and doting on their beloved Aussie, Harper, who’s a bit on the spoiled side but all the more cherished for it.

Now, looking forward to married life, Nora and Austin eagerly anticipate sharing their big day with loved ones and the exciting adventures that lie ahead.

I am excited to see their day unfold, and their wedding day vision come to life!! 🤍
