Summer

Everything from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony, reception, and catering was handled by the Grand Geneva — even Shannon’s hair stylist and makeup artist! “The Grand Geneva really made our day what it was. They made it so effortless and catered to our every need.”

The bride and groom, who have known each other since kindergarten, planned an August wedding that was classic and simple, but with lots of personality and “DIY to the max!”

In the overall planning, bride Anna says there wasn’t any one aspect she enjoyed better than the rest. “We had such a wonderful day, and our vendors made it a dream come true!”

For their Sunday afternoon wedding, Amanda and Sema decided to keep things beautifully simple. “We didn’t want our wedding to be a big party. We wanted it to be small and intimate. Sunday brunch was just perfect for what we had in mind!”

With the Calatrava setting the scene, Paul and Jessica's lakefront wedding was a grand, gorgeous, and incredibly elegant affair.

Kurt and Shannon's warm, elegant reception at the rustic-industrial The Seeboth – An Urban Event Destination gave out-of-town guests a unique chance to explore and enjoy Milwaukee's historic downtown charm.

Danielle from Long Island and Nick from Milwaukee met at a wedding in Seattle. “My college teammate married Nick’s good childhood friend,” Danielle says. “They had a hunch we would hit it off, so they sat us at the same table.” The hunch was dead on!
