In their quest for the perfect venue that wouldn’t exceed their budget, they diligently searched. Consequently, they sought a location that could bring their vision of a forest wedding to life within the city. Their search led them to the Urban Ecology Center on the East Side of Milwaukee; indeed, it was a gem that exceeded their expectations.
Beginning their day with individual workouts, Paige and Jon then prepared for the festivities ahead. Their journey took them to the Urban Ecology Center, where they shared a magical first look. Additionally, they captured timeless photographs against the backdrop of this unique venue.
As guests arrived, they were enchanted to discover the ceremony nestled within the dreamy forest setting. Additionally, beautiful, local, seasonal floral arrangements by Wood Violet only paled in comparison to Paige and Jon’s beauty. Following a heartfelt exchange of vows, attendees crossed the pedestrian bridge to the reception venue’s veranda, where they indulged in delectable cocktails and appetizers.
Flour Girl and Flame’s wood-fired pizza dinner, a culinary highlight, delighted with savory bites. Moreover, it ignited senses and left lasting impressions.. As the night unfolded, the couple danced joyously, serenaded by a curated playlist from Milwaukee Airwaves. Consequently, an atmosphere of pure celebration and love enveloped the venue, enhancing the momentous occasion. Congrats, Jon & Paige, and here’s to a life of love and adventure!
