What a year!!

We are so proud of the weddings we were able to plan and execute in 2024, mostly because the human beings we met are such beautiful souls. Looking back on this year, we are thankful to have met such lovely people, planned weddings in such beautiful places, and its special to see it chronicled in one place. As you enjoy the following photos and recaps, feel free to explore the photographers and venues further by clicking on the name of each vendor to be directed to their website.

Gabby & Dan

To ring in 2024, we celebrated big by planning Gabby & Dan’s New Years Eve wedding at The Rothschild Pavilion! Following their beautiful Catholic church ceremony, the party moved up to Wausau where they took photos on Rib Mountain, and partied the night away all the way until midnight. Happy new year!

Brianna & Jared

Fast forward a few weeks and we got to have another wedding in the Wausau area, this time at St. John’s Lutheran Church. Brianna and Jared had a GIGANTIC wedding with a reception guest count 450+, plus of and the coolest hay bale photo shoot we’ve ever experienced! 

Their reception at the Rothschild Pavilion was perfect for their large guest count and was such a cozy, joyful spot for the rest of the celebration. Explore the blog below to see it all!

Kathryn & Trevor

Next, we headed over to Oshkosh for Kathryn and Trevor’s downtown wedding at The Gibson Social Club! We had never planned a wedding at this venue before, and boy, are we glad we did. This modern venue beautifully accommodates both ceremonies and receptions, and our team was able to flip the space to make it beautiful for both. Explore the blog to see it all!

Tara & Ken

Then, we got to plan and execute an intimate, family wedding for Tara and Ken on a cozy, rainy Wisconsin summer day. The venue was absolutely gorgeous – a long winding driveway leading to a beautiful home in Hatley, Wisconsin, and we set up a front yard wedding reception and celebrated the night away.

Rebecca & Zev

Next up, we got to enjoy a wedding weekend at Camp Elsewhere in Waupaca, where Rebecca and Zev swam, played, celebrated, and even were led by a marching band from ceremony to reception. This whimsical campy/glampy/FUN weekend was such a joy from start to finish!

Emily & Radek

Emily & Radek’s wedding was a spectacular day. Radek, who hales from the Czech Republic, married his sweetheart, Emily, at the classic and elegant Wisconsin wedding venue, the Heidel House. For this couple living in Baltimore, the destination Wisconsin wedding was made simple by hiring a wedding planner. This day was a dream from start to finish!

Ellisa & Kalan

We loved being able to plan and execute Ellisa & Kalan’s Woodlands Church wedding with a reception at Memories in Plover, Wisconsin. This was such a special day for such beautiful people!

Jenna & Travis

This wedding was special for many reasons – one of which being that Jenna was a 5th grader in Mr. VanArk’s class years ago, and he was the officiant at their wedding! (And my (Marsha) husband, how cool!) Jenna and Travis had a beautiful and rainy ceremony at Yawkey House Museum, chairlift rides at Granite Peak, and a reception at the Sundance Chalet. The day was a dream, and so special to celebrate such special people.

Sara & Todd

To wrap up our 2024 year of weddings, we celebrated Sara & Todd – and was this our highlight of the entire year? Maybe! The dramatic dress & design choices coupled with the beautiful venue (Round Lake Farms) and pro photo team (O&B Photo Co) brought about a stunning and unique day that perfectly celebrated these fabulous people.
