Alex and Dillon are THE BEST!! We booked them for our wedding in Lake Geneva and they were absolute rockstars. They were excellent to communicate with and answered all of my (many) questions throughout the planning process really quickly. They were perfectly professional and outstanding bartenders, and easily accommodated making our signature cocktails and even a featured mocktail. They provided a detailed shopping list ahead of time to make sure we knew exactly what, and how much, alcohol to buy, which was SUPER helpful since we would've had no idea how much to buy for the number of guests we were hosting. All we had to do was bring the alcohol, and they did the rest- cups, garnishes, napkins, service, etc- they had it covered. We cannot say enough good things about this exceptional business. Book them NOW!!! Thank you Alex & Dillon!!!!

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!

The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched, as they were dedicated, professional, and excited about bringing our vision to life.

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

My spouse and I had the literal wedding of our dreams. The Gardens were able to accommodate things we wanted, like family style dinner, long tables, great sound quality and an incredibly beautiful outdoor space. Getting married here was easy, the whole team communicated so quickly and respectfully. Being a queer couple, it was great to be in a space we could be fully ourselves.

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!

Mark Malec Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • 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.

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.

Andrea felt like more than just our wedding photographer — she felt like someone who truly cared about us and our story. From our first call, we knew she was the right fit. She took time to get to know us and made everything feel personal and easy. We were nervous about engagement photos at first, but she made the experience feel so natural and comfortable. By the wedding day, it felt like having a friend there supporting us and celebrating with us. She was such a calming presence throughout the day, especially before our first look when I was feeling very anxious. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported and taken care of. When we saw our photos for the first time, we were completely in love. They perfectly captured the emotions and story of our wedding day. Looking back at them — especially after recently losing one of our groomsmen unexpectedly — has meant so much to us and helps us relive those moments and memories. We will absolutely be using Andrea for future life moments — pregnancy, family photos, everything. If you want someone who will truly care about you and capture your story beautifully, Andrea is the one.

We also had multiple meetings leading up to the wedding, and they made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. They even went above and beyond to include a special song we requested that wasn’t in their database for our ceremony, which meant a lot to us. The uplighting looked amazing and totally elevated the space, and the fun light effects during the reception added such a great vibe. They brought awesome energy, kept everything flowing smoothly throughout the night, and did an incredible job reading the crowd.

As a Milwaukee wedding photographer, I’m drawn to quiet, in-between moments - the fleeting glances, unguarded laughter, and effortless connection. For nearly two decades, I’ve captured weddings and families with a calm, observant approach, blending artful composition with genuine emotion. Based near Milwaukee and available for weddings worldwide, I create timeless images for those who value authenticity, artistry, and connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

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.

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!

Not only were they professional and attentive to every detail, but they also made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Their creativity and expertise truly shone through in every photograph, creating memories that I will cherish forever.

Carolyn and her staff at Barn at Trinity Peak were amazing throughout the entire process. They were fast, detailed, and incredibly helpful in answering any questions we had. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - a perfect rustic, spacious, and beautiful setting for our wedding day. The onsite staff were present at all times to assist us, allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy our special day stress-free. We were so worried about something going wrong, but Carolyn and her team made our day perfect. I'd highly recommend booking your wedding at Barn at Trinity Peak!
