He worked closely with us to capture all those special moments. His lovely wife, Kate, joined him in taking additional photos for us (at no extra charge), thus capturing moments that may not have otherwise been captured in photos. His pricing was unbelievably reasonable compared to what other photographers quoted us for our special day. Thank you Nick and Kate for all the exceptional photos that we'll cherish for years to come!

Marsha, my now wife, and I held a practice session to get rid of the jitters and to learn how to pose. We were so comfortable that we booked a portrait session the morning of our wedding. We have more gorgeous photos than we have wall space. Luckily, Marsha also creates amazing electronic albums.

Only problem so far from everything and everyone we would need. My fiance was not impressed by the bathroom but it was cute to see the gentleman showing us was very and asked us to check it out. He's right you can tell a lot by a place by looking at their bathroom, lol, so this kind of back fired since the fiance didn't like it. All in all it's $800 to rent a 4 bedroom house and way too much in our minds, we noticed somewhere else on Yelp they said this place used to charge $395 only a few days ago. Trust me, inflation may happen but in this economy it's better to rent it for less than $800 than not rent it at all.... We decided not to go with it because Woodstock is so out of the way we'd have to get our DJ, Photographer, Videographer, and then the Caterers! The most important thing is the food so I doubt our caterers would travel that far too! P.S. The pool house is only reserved for the house guests, I wish I could use it if I was having my wedding there!!!

We have both have seen Cassidy grow so much with her photography. Not only does she work hard at it but she has also taken classes for photography and photoshop/Lightroom! She comes highly recommended with tons of photos in her portfolio. She has taken pictures of my wife and I and has now started taking pictures of our daughter Addison, who is now 3 months old. She also has great advice on how to pose so you don't look awkward and worked so patiently with our daughter! (Her niece) If you are looking for a great photographer to grow with your family or even to take pictures of family pets - Cassidy is a great choice.

Tucked out of the way in Ingleside, there was zero disturbance during the wedding ceremony, in spite of being right on the street, having homes nearby and some anglers out on the water. I was impressed. The grounds are well planted to keep visitors and events private from passers by. There's also a large private parking lot for guests. The owners and their team were so kind and readily available if needed. The main building is a fair size, I think easily 100 guests fit comfortably without the venue feeling crowded. Even with the bar, buffet, DJ, guest tables, dessert tables - all of that and there was still plenty of room for mingling and dancing. The entire facility was clean and appeared well maintained. I was happy to be an invited guest, and I hope the newlyweds are just as pleased to have chosen Parkway for their big day.

Built in the 1860s and a stop on the Underground Railroad, the spacious, high-ceilinged HH exudes history and charm. Innkeeper and owner Gloria Buley greeted us warmly; I like to think I could see her smile through the surgical mask she was wearing. Our well-appointed room had a comfy king bed and a recently remodeled en suite. The wardrobe contained two plush bathrobes; a small table held bottles of Perrier, chocolates, fresh flowers, and two surgical masks. Like our room, the inn's common areas are immaculate and tastefully furnished with period antiques and Oriental rugs. Our two breakfasts were highlights! Gloria's a CIA culinary school grad and it shows. Fresh-squeezed OJ, omelettes, French toast, baked apples, sausages, Canadian bacon--whew, I don't eat nearly this well at home. Breakfast was also a chance to get to know Gloria. A recent transplant from Woodstock, NY, she purchased the Hamilton House weeks before the coronavirus shut down the world. I'd be down in the dumps, but Gloria seems indefatigable and is using the time to, among other things, install a garden walk that will pay homage to the nearby Birge Fountain, circa 1903. We're already looking forward to our next visit! A tip: One of Wisconsin's best supper clubs, the Duck Inn in Delavan, is a 15-minute drive from the HH.

This gorgeous 1861 mansion is exquisite, perfect down to the last detail. The multi-course breakfasts, created by innkeeper (and Culinary Institute-trained chef) Gloria, were off-the-charts delicious and kept my belly full til dinnertime, even after a day spent hiking the gorgeous Kettle Moraine. I slept deeply on the luxurious comfy bed, but I'd eat saltine crackers and sleep on a cot to hear Gloria's stories! Gloria has a talent for being present but never intrusive. She'll give you a house tour with fascinating tidbits (from John Belushi to the Underground Railroad!) but ask about her journey from Woodstock NY to Whitewater WI for a rollicking story with a happy ending!
