A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Mark & Marki’s Milwaukee Magic

November 6, 2013

BOOM! Time to ooo and aaah over this fabulous wedding at one of Milwaukee’s historic concert venues The Rave/Eagles Ballroom! Built in 1926, this building has some serious history! The ballroom is gorgeous and Mark and Marki held both the ceremony and reception there. Since the location one of oldest concert venues, there had to be a radtastic live band to kick off the reception! I also adore the album center pieces and music choices! A true family and friends affair, they helped create all of the yummy desserts! There’s just too much to gush over! Music, love, fun, and fancy friends – I love all of it!
