Kate & Nick | Milwaukee Wedding at the Basilica of Saint Josaphat & The Pfister Hotel


Kate & Nick’s Milwaukee wedding was a seamless blend of timeless tradition and elevated celebration, beginning with a classic ceremony at the Basilica of Saint Josaphat and continuing into an unforgettable reception at The Pfister Hotel.

The weekend began with a rehearsal dinner at Bacchus, where close friends and family shared meaningful speeches that set a heartfelt tone for the celebrations ahead. Thoughtfully planned by Elevate Events, every part of the weekend felt intentional, personal, and beautifully executed.

Following the ceremony, Kate & Nick gathered their full bridal party for portraits before heading into the reception. These moments captured the joy and energy of the day—elegant bridal portraits, celebratory group shots, and timeless imagery that reflected the excitement of the newly married couple and those closest to them. Florals by Belle Fiori Florist featured soft blush tones layered with rich reds and pinks, adding romantic depth and texture throughout the day.

The reception began with an unforgettable sports lineup–style introduction led by one of the groomsmen, instantly setting a fun, high-energy tone. Emotional moments soon followed, including a heartfelt and memorable speech from the father of the bride. Before the party fully unfolded, both the bride and groom shared second looks with their wedding party, adding another layer of excitement and anticipation to the evening.

As the night continued, the dance floor stayed packed thanks to Talk of the Town Band from Maggie Speaks, keeping the celebration lively and electric. The evening concluded with a disco-style after party, where Double Platinum DJ took over and transformed the celebration into an all-out late-night experience no one will soon forget.
