How many dresses did you try on?
“I probably tried on at least 15 different dresses. I was actually on my way to buy a different dress when I found my final dress choice. I had been going back and forth between one dress, but had decided I wanted to buy it. I went that day with a friend to try it on one last time and then buy it. However, when I tried it on, I was no longer excited about it. I began to worry that I would be leaving the store without buying anything and truly worried that I would never find my dress. That was until my friend pointed out one dress on a mannequin. It was a new arrival. It looked like the dress I had been describing the whole time, so we decided I should try it on to be sure. I knew once I tried that dress on that it was the one!”

What made you choose your venue?
“We actually walked through the venue for the first time while it was under construction. Even so, we fell in love with it. We loved how you could feel its history. The Red Circle Inn is Wisconsin’s oldest supper club. It still has the vintage sconces, the original Pabst bar, and beautiful dark wood trimming throughout the venue. We also loved that we have two rooms in this venue. While cocktail hour can be hosted in the beautiful Provimi room, dinner can be set up in the main Pabst room. Then, you can transition easily from dinner in the Pabst room to the reception in the Provimi room without needing to move tables or “turn over” the other room. This set-up also allows you to move freely between indoors/outdoors during the cocktail hour and reception since the Provimi room connects with the outdoor patio. It also means that guests can shift to a quieter location or have more space away from the music and dancing later on. This was a great option for our older guests who wanted more room to sit down and converse with family and friends.

Music & Entertainment: Gabriel’s Horns for ceremony, Chicago Mule Band and Big Sand Productions for reception
Dance Lessons: “Personal favor from friend – but she deserves credit!” Aynsley Parker who does lessons part-time.
First Dance Song: “Simply The Best” by Tina Turner

“My favorite part of the reception was the dancing,” Katharine said. “I just wanted the dance floor full all night—and it was!” They kicked things off with two hours of live music from the Chicago Mule Band, followed by a DJ to close out the night. “It felt like the best of both worlds.” Another highlight? “Instead of glass clinking, guests had to sing a snippet of a song with ‘love’ in it to get us to kiss. It was hilarious and set such a fun tone for the night.”
