Rosewood
Full of history, magical touches, charm and character "Millies Pancake House," has been revived by Gretch and Mark Hladish and is now Rosewood.
Rosewood is surrounded by Wisconsin's natural beauty: fields, open sky, different types of stone, trees, and flowers. Indoors there are beautiful chandeliers, beams, a romantic fireplace, an awesome bar, wood floors, the list goes on. It is all blended with a techies dream of digital back drops, big screens, sound (indoors and outdoors), a gazebo, patio with gas firepits, and lights. It blends the old and new naturally and beautifully!
We had a vision for our event. A winter scene, a festive vibe, decorations, amazing food, great music, sound, and lighting. Yet, we wanted a true Wisconsin coziness in the air for our guests.
Along with Mark and Gretch's amazing team and connections, you can bring your imagination and dreams to the table, and Rosewood provides you with the right people and talents, and a platform and theater to make them come alive.
When the evening arrived, it could not have gone better. Everyone worked together to make it a beautiful event for us and our guests.
A Special Thank You to:
Mark and Gretch Hladish-Owners of Rosewood, full of amazing talent and we are thankful to them for having the vision to create Rosewood. Also, thanks to Mark and Gretch for having the fun idea to take pictures on/by their beautiful bar, some of our most fun pictures of the evening.
Mark Hladish Sr. - Sound Engineer, Mark had a lot of buttons he used that night, and the sound was great!!!
Beth Iverson - Wedding Coordinator-she helped keep things on track, always remained calm, brought ideas to the table, and was organized. We met twice prior to the reception and she was also available via text and email. She also owns a local B&B in Lake Geneva called Humble B&B.
Shawn Slawson - Technical Producer, he is amazing. We relied so heavily on Shawn. My husband and I got married 5 months prior to our reception. We needed a venue that allowed our guests to relive that day with us. We had heard of Shawn, we had ideas in our minds for how we wanted the evening to go, and Shawn delivered! He is a pleasure to work with. He built our digital back drops, made sure sound was working correctly everywhere, created a dance playlist, sat with us to work on lighting and an entire digital workflow for the evening. Many of our guests said they felt like they experienced our wedding day with us-which was exactly what we wanted. We wanted to blend the past with the present, and Shawn made this happen!
Jeff Iverson-Bar Manager, Steve Fairchild-Bartenders. The Rosewood bar is stocked with everything you need for a special event! We wanted a signature drink, so we had the Mistletoe Mule that the bartenders designed with a sprig of green, our guests loved it! The Bar staff were especially attentive to our guests!
Dustin Grindle - Building Administrator, Dustin is great! He was all over the place. Adjusting temperatures, lighting candles, making sure things were arranged correctly-before and during the event, and always with a smile. And he can make a great drink!
Chef John Schnupp and Chef Jesse Schnupp, our guests raved, and raved, and raved and are still raving about the food. They loved the chef attended stations, as it makes for great fresh farm to fork food and mingling. It felt good to know that our guests were going to experience culinary delight that evening in a wonderful atmosphere, and they did! Also, we opted for the dessert table-decadent desserts that were beautiful and delicious!
Also, we would like to thank:
Jo Hodgins, who is a part of the Rosewood team, is an amazing florist. She has a full floral shop located in Daniel's Foods Sentry in Walworth, WI. Her goal is to thoroughly understand your floral vision and help you attain it. My wedding and reception bouquets were everything I imagined. The wedding party bouquets and boutonnieres were just what I wanted. The flowers were fresh and gorgeous. She encourages pictures and interviews you thoroughly, while suggesting ideas from her experience. I have had many compliments on my flowers.
Ideal Impressions-Ryan Bensheimer. He does not work for Rosewood, but he is local to the area, and is very familiar with Rosewood and their staff. We have worked with Ryan a few times now, and we can't say enough. His photography and photofusions are amazing. He put together a photofusion from our wedding, which we then utilized Rosewood's technology to play on the big screen, and our guests felt as if they were at our actual wedding. We are forever grateful to Ryan for preserving our memories in images and video.
Thank you and Sincerely,
Jenny and Bryan Anderson Turner read more
