Teal was absolutely incredible and truly the reason why my wedding event was perfect. Her attention to detail and thoroughness is unmatched, which I can confidently say after working with another planner for a different event. I didn’t think it was possible to feel as low stress the week of an event as I did this time working with Teal. This was a larger event (450 people), but was planned and coordinated absolutely perfectly - to the point where several guests came up to me and said this was the most well organized event they had been to. I was planning this event during a very busy and high stress time at work, and I felt confident trusting Teal to make sure everything was pulled together, even when I could not give my full attention to it. If you are planning an event, I very much so recommend using perfect day event planners, and specifically working with Teal!!! I cannot say enough good things!

I am so happy with my services from Arielle and Megan on my wedding day!! First of all, we all looked AMAZING! Starting with Megan who did my hair - I wanted really simple waves with a few strands pulled back and she made it look so effortlessly glam! All my bridesmaids wanted up-do’s and they all looked beautiful and unique. On to the makeup artist Arielle. Arielle provided an above and beyond service we could not have been more happy with her! I think all of my girls, me included, said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had done. My maid of honor was especially nervous because she likes a colorful, fun look and she was nervous a makeup artist would try to dim it down. But of course Arielle listened to what she wanted and absolutely killed it. Before I left, I told Arielle that I need her to do all my future makeup looks lol! I just don’t have enough kind words to say about these two ladies, thank you so much for making my day so special 3

We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!

Where to even begin with Brittany! First of all she is an amazing person through and through! On our wedding day 2/22/25 she was early and got right to work. She helped us out in ways we couldn't even imagine. She gave us pointers on our nephews fiasco of a suit, ensured it would work out and made it not a big deal. The entire process with Brittany was flawless, she guided us and somehow found our esthetic with the little knowledge we gave her! Her skills are unmatched and we will be considering her for any photos we need in the future! We are excited to see the photos, Brittany showed us some raw pictures on her camera and we were immediately hooked on what she was getting, just ask my now wife Alaina who has said at minimum 5 times a day, "ugh I can't wait to see the photos" "oh I know theses are going to be great" Thanks for everything Brittany!

If there was a 6th star available, we would give it! Everything about twelve29 was AMAZING! Chris, Sara and their staff were absolutely top notch! The venue is not your typical flashy wedding venue. It's a great location in Lannon, WI. Having a uniqueness inside as well as outside. The separate rooms where you can play bags (corn hole) or just hanging around with family and friends during your cocktail hour or before the wedding starts. There is no other venue that we looked at that has an old bank vault in it! When we were looking at venues for our wedding, we walked in and immediately fell in love with it! Chris & Sara have done an amazing job making sure that all our questions and concerns were answered and they were very attentive on the day of our wedding. Chris was onsite helping to set up the buffet line, making sure that all our needs were met and even making sure that we had something to drink! He even asked my husband if he'd be interested in loaning out our archway! LOL.... Having a separate room from my husband for myself & my attendants to get ready in was a blessing! Chris & Sara really thought of everything that you could need as a Bride or Groom. The calendar does fill up quickly, so do not hesitate to book this hidden jewel in Lannon, WI. You will not regret it!

Mark Malec Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Waukesha, WI

Mark Malec Photography is a wedding company located in West Bend, Wisconsin. Mark and Beth Malec, the owners of the company, aim to get to know each couple they work with prior to the wedding day in order to become more familiar with each couple's photographic needs and desires. This husband-and-wife team focuses on maintaining open communication throughout the planning process in order to provide accessible and transparent services. The company encourages couples to remain present and mindful on their wedding day, which enables Mark and Beth to capture genuine and natural images.

Where do we even begin? Starting with our engagement shoot, Mark and Beth made us feel so comfortable, and were so good at capturing the way we feel about each other. They have a great eye for what will make a good shot and we’re super attentive to details. They made the shoot so fun and we ended up with a great mix of formal shots and more fun/spicy shots. We had originally planned to just do our engagement shoot with them, as we were getting married out of state but when we got the proofs back, there was no question about paying the travel cost to have them capture our wedding day. They were totally on top of the planning process and really let us be creative with the shots that we wanted and what the day was going to look like. They were there for us every step of the way, and will make you feel like you can handle anything your crazy aunt or creepy family friend is going to throw your way on your day - they’ve seen it all and they play defense for you. Wedding day rolls around and they’re in full on production mode. When I say that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day, I mean it. They had our schedule, kept us on track, and most importantly, they kept us relaxed. I cannot stress enough how special it was to have them both there to get both angles of all of the moments - it’s not something you really think about until you see how special it is to have both sides of the first looks, walking down the aisle, and the first kiss. As my husband and I talked about the day on our way to our honeymoon a few days later, we agreed that choosing Mark and Beth was by far the greatest decision we made for our day. We loved them, and they gave us the most precious memories to cherish for ever. Their work speaks for itself, there’s no question about that, but I think the most important thing they bring is the passion they have for what they do, and I think that’s what made us trust them as much as we did. We really could not have asked for a better pair to work with, and every one in our family LOVED them. If there was any recommendation I had for future brides, it’s to let Mark and Beth be your people.

Whimsical Roots Photography

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Waukesha, WI

Over 200 times since 2013, I’ve hopped out of bed in the morning with butterflies in my stomach & stars in my eyes as I’ve loaded up my camera bag & headed out the door to capture a beautiful wedding day. I help sophisticated couples like you celebrate this iconic chapter in your journey by creating sincere images that look & feel true to life, & true to you. Your love story is anything but ordinary, & you can trust that I will celebrate your connection with creativity & poise, in its own, unrivaled way.  Depend on me to ensure a relaxed & joyful experience that will transform the fleeting moments of your wedding day into treasured heirlooms.

Before we even got engaged, I had already started to look for wedding vendors as we would be planning our Wisconsin wedding from out of state. With so many photographers in the wedding game, it was hard to figure out exactly what we wanted until I came across Andrea and her Whimsical Roots page. I was immediately hooked and wanted to book her as soon as possible. It was clear from her style that she cared about her clients, and I wanted a wedding album that reflected that warmth and authenticity. From our first phone call, we adored Andrea. She was so easy to talk to and was eagerly waiting for the news when we officially got engaged. Throughout our engagement, Andrea kept up with us, making sure things were going well in the planning process and even sent us a New Years greeting card – truly above and beyond! When it came to wedding day, Andrea was an absolute angel. I did not think about how many quiet, raw moments I would be alone with just a photographer and videographer on wedding day: reading a letter from my soon-to-be-husband, taking bridal shots on a back porch, and waiting in a back room before finding my dad for our grand entrance. It was such a comfort to have Andrea be the person who was with me in those tender moments. Her presence was a gift for which I will forever be grateful. Once the main events started, Andrea was a rockstar as she navigated a semi-public space, a boat ride that was pretty bumpy, and an entire event outside with the sunlight fading too quickly. She made everything look easy and kept such a positive, energetic attitude the entire day. We still talk about how much we laughed while taking photos because she made it so fun! The turn around time for our final photos was quicker than we expected, and we are so blessed to have such beautiful, timeless works of art to remember our special day.

I cannot put into words just how instrumental Lauren and her team were to our wedding day. I truly do not think it would have been possible without her. In case you need convincing, here are the top 10 reasons why you should have hired LAR Photography for your wedding yesterday: 1) (the most obvious reason) She is a genius behind the camera. She has a true talent for finding the beauty in every moment and capturing it. 2) She has a knack for making getting your picture taken not feel awkward, something we were very afraid about as people who don't often find themselves in front of a camera. 3) She has a wonderful team of people behind her. Shout out to Jared and Ashley as our second shooter and day-of coordinator respectively! 4) She goes above and beyond to make sure the final product is perfect (ie: color correcting every picture for my beautiful, wonderful maid of honor who unfortunately ordered the wrong color dress). 5) She is an expert on all things weddings. Lauren was the one who answered most of our wedding questions throughout the year-long process. This was not limited to photography questions. She knows how weddings work and gave us invaluable information about our timeline, our rehearsal, coordinating with other vendors, and the logistics of set up and tear down. 6) With Lauren, we felt like we were her only clients. Whenever we had a question, Lauren answered. She truly spent hours with us on the phone during the planning process. 7) On the wedding day, she is not just a photographer. Her and her team took care of literally everything that went wrong. They handled decor that broke. They made sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. Lauren even bustled my dress on when my mom and I couldn't figure it out. 8) Lauren is dedicated to her craft and her client's vision. We tasked her with taking a group picture that included every guest at our wedding. Was she too short to do this? Yes. Did she stand on a chair to get the shot anyway? Also yes. 9) The sheer volume of pictures that we got back from our wedding is outstanding. We have hundreds. During our first look through, we saved pictures that really stood out as favorites. We ended up adding 121 pictures to that favorites album. 10) Lauren is just an amazing person. She is dependable, professional, dedicated, compassionate, flexible, and a powerhouse behind the camera. We are so glad we found her.

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Taber was my photographer for my wedding this past weekend, 5/24/2025. Words cannot describe how amazing of a person she is and how amazing she is at her job. My entire bridal party and all of the guests loved her. Her attention to detail and ability to command the room in a kind and soft way is truly amazing. She gave us a 90 photo slideshow during the reception for us to go through and for a few seconds I thought it was not us because of how surreal the photos looked like. We just got our wedding picture preview (see on instagram!) and I cried my eyes out going through the photos because of how amazing they are. It's safe to say that it's truly indescribable the feeling that her photos give me and you would be remiss to not hire her.

I've been capturing weddings since 2009. My style is classic/true to color and my approach is a mix of directive (for posed parts of the day) and candid. Overall, I blend into the background as much as possible when it's appropriate, capturing things as they happen and I help you create portraits with gentle direction and humor where necessary. It is your day. let’s work together to make your photos the best record of your memories they can be! I look forward to working with you!

Barn at Trinity Peak was lovely to work with. Carolyn, the owner, is super hands on to make the planning process as smooth as possible, and to take care of anything on your wedding day. They also supply so much décor--we only brought flowers for our centerpieces, everything else we used was from them! If you're looking for a venue on a budget but is high quality, this is the place to book.
