The Covenant at Murray Mansion was the location of Katie and Emily’s epic wedding ceremony and celebration! We had the pleasure of meeting Katie and Emily at Culinary Infusion’s special menu tasting earlier in the year, and we’ve been counting down the days ever since! Officiant Karl Nika did a lovely job leading the service, with Jordan Dubberke sharing special readings as well. The entrance of the wedding party and both brides did not disappoint – it was one unforgettable moment after the other! Morgan Photo Co. documented the day, including a vintage cocktail hour in Murray Mansion. The toasts from Jim, Mark, and Heather before dinner were so sweet, with plenty of laughs and many happy tears. After a delicious feast, speeches from the Maids of Honor led perfectly into the first dances of the evening. Katie and Emily provided an amazing request list, their attention to detail was outstanding and the results showed all night long! We were excited to pack the dance floor from beginning to end, and will never forget this amazing evening. Big thanks to Hannah, Keith, Heather, Karis, Hanni, the entire team at The Covenant, and everyone who came out to celebrate with the new Mrs. & Mrs. Goldbranson!

I’d Do Anything!
It was a beautiful fall wedding celebration with Andrea and Alex at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom in downtown Kenosha! Rev. John Anderson led the ceremony which was accompanied by live music from Memorable Music Ensembles. Following the vows and blessing, Maid of Honor Jeni helped conclude the service with her own musical blessing before we sent the newlyweds back down the aisle. Andrew Meier Photography was on hand to capture all the special moments and memories – the weather was absolutely perfect for plenty of artistic outdoor shots! Guests returned to the ballroom to continue in the festivities with fellowship during cocktail hour followed by a delicious buffet-style dinner. We heard words from our family and wedding party before continuing with our first dances and the rest of our celebration! We’d like to give a special thanks to our good friend Kelsey who worked hard behind-the-scenes all day long. It was a real treat to team up again, everything came together perfectly for the happy couple! Big congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Alex and Andrea Schenk!

Love Me Like You Do!
Kevin and Mandy exchanged vows and celebrated their wedding at Roma Lodge in Racine, and SSE was there for all the excitement! We arrived early to prepare for their indoor ceremony. Unexpected afternoon rain showers didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits, as guests settled in for the touching service. After our bride and groom made their promises, everyone enjoyed drinks and conversation before transitioning to our grand march introductions and a delicious dinner. Best Man Ben and Matron of Honor Shana did a great job with their speeches and toasts, and before long it was time to fill up the dance floor! The customized glow sticks were a big hit, and the energy level in the room was off the charts from the first dance to the last. Thanks to Briana and the entire event team at Roma Lodge, and everyone who came to celebrate with Kevin and Mandy. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Moreno!

Happily Ever After!
The University of Wisconsin Parkside was the site of Bridget and Joel’s magical wedding ceremony and reception! Brennen did a great job assisting with sound support during the Disney-inspired ceremony lead by Doug McDade. His storytelling was masterfully done with plenty of laughs and touching moments along the way. Following the service, guests enjoyed specialty cocktails and fellowship in the lobby, before making their way into the Grand Ballroom. Krista Estes Photography documented all the festivities – and there was plenty to capture! The table rush game, shoe game, couple’s crossword puzzle, kissing game, and so much more. Doug wrote a special song for Bridget and Joel which he performed before dinner and got everyone singing along and in the spirit of things! After the meal, we opened things up with the first dance and anniversary dance. Our bride and groom provided plenty of great song requests, we had a blast on the dance floor with them! Big thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make everything come together perfectly. It was a very special night for SSE, we were honored to celebrate with the newlyweds! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Hassler!

As always, Buttercup Bouquets did an amazing job - adorning the space with beautiful florals and special touches. It’s always a treat to team up with Corrina Nicole Photography as she captured all the important moments along the way. Glow sticks lit up the dance floor all night – once we started, we never looked back!
