Becoming The Beckmans!

American Serb Hall in Milwaukee was the site of Caylee and Michael’s unforgettable wedding celebration!  Following the beautiful ceremony at nearby St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, guests made their way to the reception hall for fellowship and fun!  Everyone enjoyed live music in the bar area before filing in for grand march introductions.  Nikola and Lara were the Domacin – our wedding day hosts – and facilitated the announcements, prayer, and speeches.  The wedding party and family took their place at a massive King’s Table, and the crew at Serb Hall did a fantastic job with dinner service.  An anniversary dance kicked off the festivities, and the Father of the Bride had a special surprise in store for Caylee during their dance!  Traditional Serbian Kolo dances were a memorable highlight - we had a huge request list and played music from every genre for guests of all ages!  Special thanks to Cortney & Cristy, Wayne & Julie, Travis & Katie, and everyone who came to celebrate with the new Mr. & Mrs. Beckman.  Congrats to the newlyweds!

Take Forever!

SSE returned to The Covenant at Murray Mansion for Haley and Jared’s fantastic wedding ceremony and reception!  Jared’s Aunt Lori did a wonderful job leading service as our bride and groom made their promises to each other.  Following the ceremony, guests mingled in historic Murray Mansion while enjoying custom cocktails and delicious appetizers.  Before long, we returned to The Covenant for our grand march introductions, entertaining toasts, and a delicious dinner prepared by Keith, Steve, Nick, and the culinary team.  Ward 3 Media did a great job capturing all the special moments throughout the celebration, including a surprise table rush!  After the first dances concluded, the glow sticks came out and we cut loose!  We were thrilled to see the dance floor full of excitement and energy all night long.  Big thanks to the entire Culinary Infusion crew, and everyone who came out to give their best wishes to the new Mr. and Mrs. Nelson!  Cheers!

Nobody But You!

The Venue at Millburn Stables in northern Illinois was the site of Addison and Zachary’s unforgettable wedding ceremony and reception!  For the second consecutive weekend, SSE was thrilled to provide music and entertainment for the reception, and also officiate the wedding ceremony as well.  Months of planning and preparation come together perfectly for their beautiful service.  The couple’s first selfie, surprise ring bearers, touching personal vows, and special unity ceremony were just a few highlights from a service we will never forget.  After the recessional, guests enjoyed cocktails and fellowship in the re-purposed stables, complete with individual themes and plenty of places to tuck away and take in all the atmosphere!  Our grand march introductions were packed with energy, including customized introductions and music for each couple!  We led immediately into cake cutting followed by the first dances – making so many memories along the way. After grabbing a picture with their guests during an exciting table rush, everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner and heartfelt words from the family and wedding party.  Addie and Zach kicked the rest of the night off with an epic T-Shirt toss, and once the dance floor opened up…we never looked back!   Big thanks to Austyn and Sara, Cheri, Nancy, and the entire family, Forget-Me-Not Creative & Visuals, Amber Linderman Photography, and everyone who made this night one for the record books.  Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Grindley!
