I didn't get hitched in Wisconsin, but in Florida- but to honor the groom and where he's from we shipped in KOPPS custard to serve at the end of the reception.
We're getting married in Madison this summer. We've done a ton of research to pull this whole thing together and I'm happy to share what we've learned and where we've recieved the best service.
Do any of you ladies know of any good makeup artists in the Madison area? I'm getting my hair done at my normal salon but they don't usually do makeup. I'm considering stopping by one of the counters at Macy's or Boston Store to see if I can find an enthusiastic makeup artist at one of the counters there.
I just had my madkeup done for our engagement pics at the Clinique counter at Boston Store(west towne) They were awsome and you really get to pick your own look.
Congrats on the upcoming and past weddings. I am also doing most DIY, even my cake. I am having a Mary Kay consultant do my makeup. Wedding in the bluffs, reception in baraboo. Where at in Mad, DeForest are you all getting married. I've already got my venue but would love to hear all details, especially from Wisco. Dresses? Flowers (i still need this one), band/DJ, cake makers (cheap), rehersal venues, wedding venues, what are you doing for your bach/bachloretter party (we are co-ed, don't know plans yet, thinking the essen house and state street?). Thanks for all tips, plans and sharing your excitement.
I'm getting married Sept. 20 of this year in La Crosse, Wis. I live in New York state. The reception is at the Radisson Hotel. I chose the place because I want really good food and a sit-down dinner. I chose Cameron Gillie, of Madison, as the photographer.
Another awesome, awesome DJ: Eric Fischer of Madison Sound and Light DJ, www.msldj.com
We used him AND my cousin used him. Great setup, lights, music lineup, ect. You can even use their online planning system that has lists for timeline, "must play", "do not play", and "if there is time, please play" songs. They were totally great. And friendly but not obnoxious!
We just got out engagemnet pictures and we love them. If anyone is looking for a great and really friendly photographer check out Rebecca Cook at www.iodphotography.com
