5 of My Favorite Wisconsin Based Wedding Vendors

There are so many moving pieces to a wedding day.  Between florals, wedding attire, your venue, photographers, and all your other vendors, by the time you get to your wedding day, you will have a team of wedding vendors working on your day.  How cool is that?! Over the past couple of years, I have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing Wisconsin Wedding Vendors. This is why I have put together a list of some of my favorites for you.

What to Look for When Choosing Vendors

I LOVE these fellow Wisconsin vendors and would work with them every day if I could. Though, I do not expect you to choose these vendors just because I love them.  Choosing vendors on your wedding day is a very big decision. You and your partner will need to take your time and put some thought into who you’re hiring as you’re looking around! 

Here are a couple of questions you’ll want to ask yourself as you begin looking for vendors.

Do I like their end product?

Though it may seem superficial, at the end of the day, you are either purchasing a product or a service from each and every one of your vendors.  It is extremely important that you make sure you like what they will be providing.  If it’s a photographer or videographer, check out their editing style, how they photograph a wedding day, and a full wedding gallery or video if they have any available.  

If you’re looking for a baker, you’ll want to order a taste testing box or stop by their shop to try out some desserts.   If you’re looking to hire a florist, you’ll want to see some images of past bridal bouquets or boutonnieres.  Remember, a wedding vendor’s style and craft is what they are selling. You won’t be able to ask a wedding photographer to change their editing style to fit your vision. This is why it’s so important to make sure you like every aspect of their work before you move forward.

Is This Wedding Vendor in my Budget?  

There is absolutely no shame in having a wedding budget.  Everyone has one and there are so many different prices when it comes to services and products.  When you start checking out a vendor, you will want to start on their website. Look for starting prices, information on their experience, and reviews to get a feel for them.

After you check out their site, if you feel you might be a good fit, it’s time to inquire! When you inquire, on top of getting to know your vendor, you will want to look for answers to the following questions: What is included in the packages they offer? What is their pricing like? How much money do they require for your retainer fee?  If I were to hire a Wisconsin Hair and makeup artist the payment might be broken into different parts. There might be a $50 reservation fee, a $100 trial fee, and then a fee for the package on the day of.  These are all important things to know ahead of time so that you can plan your budget accordingly and make sure you’re prepared for the payments that come with your vendor.

Do I Like this Vendor?

More than likely there are going to be a lot of moving parts that go into your wedding day.  There will be a lot of energy, nerves, and all sorts of emotions leading up to your wedding day. There will be even more on your actual day! This is why it is important that as you’re creating your vendor team, you get along with everyone involved.  Many vendors, because their job is so intimate, have mandatory calls with their clients prior to booking. These calls are used to make sure you get along with one another and are on the same page in terms of services. 

Specifically when it comes to wedding photographers, videographers, and HMUAs (hair and makeup artists) you want to make sure your personalities mesh well together.  You will be with your photographer and videographer more than you will be with your soon-to-be spouse on your wedding day. You want to make sure you will enjoy each other’s company so you can have fun on your wedding day.

If you’re nervous about hiring vendors, make sure to start with these three questions! The answers to these questions should help your Wisconsin wedding vendor search and help you to narrow down potential vendors for your day.  If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to looking for vendors, keep reading!  I have my top 5 favorite Wisconsin wedding vendors listed below.

Wisconsin Wedding Vendors

If you’re currently working on building your own wedding day vendor team, you’re definitely going to want to check out these phenomenal vendors. All based in Wisconsin, these wedding vendors are all people I have personally worked with and have created phenomenal experiences for their wedding clients.

Remingtons Flowers & Co

There is NO ONE better than Joey.  Joey is the owner of Remingtons Flowers & Co.  Based in the heart of East Troy Wisconsin, Joey offers her services all throughout Wisconsin and beyond.  Specializing in wedding and event floral design Joey creates a customized experience for each of her couples.  Joey works out of her East Troy flower shop with her golden retrievers and staff.  Remington’s creates custom designs and packages specific to you, your style, your venue, and your budget.

Batter MKE

My mouth starts watering just thinking about the desserts from Batter MKE.  This small bakery is temporarily located in Waukesha Wisconsin while their Menomonee Falls location is renovated. Batter MKE creates custom cakes, cakesicles, and cupcakes perfect for any Wisconsin wedding.  This Wisconsin wedding vendor has been running Batter since 2020 and will be opening its shop later this year!  Batter books out about a year in advance, so if you’re looking to hire them you will want to book them sooner rather than later for your wedding day.

The Boozy Bison

The Boozy Bison is a beverage service based out of Milwaukee Wisconsin.  The Boozy Bison is a dry-hire mobile beverage service.  You can hire The Boozy Bison to serve custom drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic at your event or wedding.  This mobile beverage cart is an awesome option for backyard weddings or events with alternative venues such as a home or outdoor space.  The Boozy Bison Mobile Bar is a bar set up inside a mini mobile trailer that can easily be transported to outdoor events throughout the Wisconsin area.  I highly recommend hiring Cassidy and the Bison team to be a part of your Wisconsin wedding vendor team.

If you’re one for romance and timeless films, Trinity Hoffland Films could be the videographer for you.  Trinity Hoffland Films is based in La Crosse Wisconsin and serves couples all over the midwest.  Trinity and her husband make a dream team documenting your wedding day and working hard to make sure you and your partner feel like yourselves in front of the camera.  I HIGHLY recommend Trinity for your Wisconsin wedding day!
