The stories of the applicants we featured in our sneak peek into the 2017 Dreams Do Come True Giveaway gave Milwaukee couples new inspiration for their own wedding dreams. Since the last announcement, clients have come to us with even more heartfelt and creative wedding ideas. And while we have been busy integrating them into beautiful wedding plans, we have also been sorting through even more entries for our 2017 Dreams contest.
Our Milwaukee catering company continues to be blown away by the determination of these couples and their ability to tackle challenges. We are honored that they chose to share their past and future plans with our experienced wedding planners. And we are glad that we can extend a few of their incredible stories to you!
Inspirational Couples Share Their Unique Milwaukee Wedding Dreams
David Banach
Many of David’s fondest memories are of delicious meals enjoyed with his loved ones. His family makes a point to come together to celebrate, and he has been so fortunate to receive many invitations to unforgettable gatherings. Now he wants to be the one extending the invitation to those who “surround us with warmth, generosity and who have been there to support us along the way”!
To show his love for not only his fiancée but also his friends and family, he will invite them to a classic 1920s-style wedding at 1451 Renaissance Place in late summer. Elegant décor will fill the sophisticated venue with a charming navy, gray, gold and green color scheme while guests bring the good cheer. Most of all, he trusts that ZHG will weave another amazing meal into the fabric of his marriage—something that will continue through his future.
Kesiah Hepp Kesiah
Kesiah and her fiancée come from German-Polish Catholic families, and they want their wedding to couple as a fun family reunion. With polka music playing and plenty of custom details, guests from both families will come together to celebrate while paying homage to their past. The personalization will begin long before the big party! Before the wedding, her bridal party will get the pleasure of having their hair done at the beauty school Kesiah attended. And the ceremony will be at the church that her fiancée values so much.
Kesiah trusts us to combine her personal touches with a gray and red retro theme at the Milwaukee Public Museum. She wants his special day to be among the Zilli weddings that have been so beautiful—clearly touched by experienced wedding planners’ “clear attention to detail.”
Alexandra Springer
Simply having her whole family gather at the historic Pritzlaff Building in November will make Alexandra’s wedding dreams come true. For her and her fiancé, family is by far the most important thing at their wedding and in their lives. At the age of 13, her fiancé suddenly and mysteriously lost his father. And although their wedding cannot mend this heartbreak, it is an opportunity to replace some of this devastation with happy family memories. With a brother and mom who have given him so much—emotionally and financially—winning the Dreams Do Come True Giveaway would be an especially welcome relief. As he says, “I want her to cry tears of joy, rather than the tears of pain and sadness she has cried in the past!
Trusting her sister like a best friend, Alexandra wants to use the same Milwaukee catering company that serviced her wedding. Working with us to make her Christmas cozy wedding dreams come true would be a demonstration of trust in her sister’s judgment and also let Alexandra enjoy the most important thing—her family!
Taylor Graf
Like many little girls, Taylor dreamed of her father walking her down the aisle to the man of her dreams. And now that she has found her true love, it is time to bring her wedding dreams to life with a barn wedding at Rustic Manor 1848. Plenty of twinkly lights and sparkles will add to the old-fashioned atmosphere. This relaxing theme and a friendly catering team will help guests settle in to enjoy their unique wedding.
Taylor trusts us to deliver incredible food and service with a friendly smile. That is because, as she says, our professionals were with her during “the entire process when trying our food, which made a huge difference in showing how much their staff cares.” She knows that working with us will let her focus on the joy of her wedding instead of all the expenses and potential frustrations that come with planning it.
As promised, we will keep you up to date on the 2017 Dreams Do Come True Giveaway until we announce the big winners on February 8th at Coast. But don’t just follow along—we want to hear from you!
