The web portal that let us select songs and set other details for the night helped out significantly. The ability to outright ban "Y.M.C.A." and the "Chicken Dance" from the very beginning took a lot of weight off of our shoulders. Jesse just had a good feeling for the flow of the night and chose good music.

Chris was the only DJ who was willing to help us out, he made sure that he had the equipment and everything turned out great!

Overall, Chris was so great to work with, very helpful from booking through the end of our event, and we highly recommend him.

The screening room is incredible- with two tiers of comfy seats, more films, please! NO is stylish, and there's a full bar with affordable drink prices and friendly staff. This place has a very locally supportive mission, and I picked up some locally design NO swag for my niece's birthday. I can't wait for my next visit to NO, and definitely considering that membership option!

Thank you so much to Ben, John, and Sophia at Enclave!!! In a sea of choices for wedding…read moreentertainment, Caroline and I are so so thankful that we picked you to entertain our wedding guests. From the very first meeting with Ben, we knew we were dealing with an experienced and professional group of talented individuals. Ben was attentive, flexible, provided input where needed, and overall delivered exactly what was promised, which was nothing short of perfection. As the event drew closer, we were able to have a conference call with Ben, as well as one of the DJ's that would be joining us for our wedding. They listened to our vision, respected our play/do not play list, and put all the details together to create a seamless evening that we didn't have to worry about for a second. During the event, John and Sophia coordinated sound and lighting for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception ( which were all separate locations within the venue) without flaw. They were extremely professional, but at the same time friendly enough that we looked at them as another pair of guests, not vendors, and we are so glad to have shared our wedding with them. Perhaps the best thing I can say to recommend Enclave to anyone wanting a perfect wedding in Wisconsin, is that for all that enclave did for us, they were still by far the cheapest quote we got for services in kind.... and worth every penny!!!

Not a great way to treat potential customers!!

Blue Fancy (BF), unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. I don't think it's necessary to go…read moreinto detail listing all of the things that went poorly, and I, of course, want to give them credit for the things that did go well. Context: we are both from Wisconsin, but are currently living out of state with stressful, time-consuming jobs, which is why we wanted to hire a planner. Our budget was lower than what I'm guessing BF is typically used to working with (less than $60,000), so I'm not sure if that was a factor. We got married in Fond du Lac and most of BF's contacts/experience is in the Milwaukee area. We had a backyard wedding at our family members' homes (a small ceremony at one location and a larger reception at a second location) over a holiday weekend. We hired BF 1.5 years prior to our wedding date leaving plenty of time. Pros: -BF was very helpful with providing structure (a to-do list, timeline) and recommending vendors. -They were insightful when finalizing the rental company contract in terms of backyard wedding details that we would not have thought of. For example, generator needs, water hookups, etc. -Day of set-up. They provided us with 3 team members, which was incredibly helpful with setting up chairs, tables, a few decorations, etc. Cons: -All together, we had a total of 3 planners. Our first planner quit and our second planner had to take a step back due to a serious personal matter. This resulted in poor communication, confusion, and stress. It was often unclear who was taking lead on what and we felt the team did not have the bandwidth to actually manage our wedding. We constantly felt like we had to double-check everything and take care of things ourselves because it was unclear who was doing what and we did not want things to fall through the cracks. Despite this, things did fall through the cracks. For example, we did not finalize our catering contract until 1 month prior to the wedding, which ended up being $8,000 more than we originally agreed because we had no other choice. Additionally, the band that BF recommended pulled out 6 weeks prior our wedding. This was not their fault and they found a replacement within one week, but this was still stressful . -They seemed to take a 'copy and paste' approach as in they just replicated what they did for previous weddings instead of really listening to what was truly important to us. More of a you fit us instead of we fit you. For example, although they provided recommendations for vendors, we ended up having to find some on our own because their recommendations did not align with our preferences/budget. Examples: photographer, videographer, and hair & make-up team. When we mentioned wanting a videographer within a certain budget, we were told this was unrealistic and received no help. We did find a videographer within our budget and he did a great job! So happy we found him. -Poor attention to detail. This was pretty concerning and prevalent throughout the process. A couple of examples: (1) they neglected trash removal and only had solutions for the Milwaukee area when we brought it to their attention. We ended up coming up with a creative solution on our own; (2) at the rehearsal dinner, the lead planner did not know the location of where to tell the hair and make-up team to go the following morning (day of). In sum, we're hoping our experience was abnormal. Nonetheless, we never received an apology, acknowledgment, or a thank you for using their service or any sort of contact after the wedding, which we find unprofessional. We were extremely sympathetic to the series of events that were out of their control, but ultimately, the way it was handled was subpar and the planning process/day of execution was stressful. We wish them the best and hope things are improving.

Jan was just a great person to have around during this past crazy year and a half and I'm so thankful to have had her as our planner. She made me feel so comfortable right from the start and I felt like she was a friend. If you're on the fence about getting a planner and you're in WI, hire blue fancy and ask for Jan!! You will not regret it! Thank you Jan!

He has many resources available to help brides select their music, and was happy to work with us when the couple requested Pirates of the Caribbean. Pat came to the rehearsal for a small additional fee, and had several excellent suggestions about how to cue things. He was punctual, well-dressed, and of course a wonderful pianist! The ceremony went off without a hitch and he provided great ambiance for the reception. It was very reassuring to know we had such an experienced musician on our side. Pat would be a great addition to any party, and my sister's wedding certainly would not have been the same without his beautiful music!

The appetizers were actually unreal--we have been getting so many compliments on how good they were (ponzu beef kebabs, ahi tuna, potato stack, scallop). The entrees were also excellent--seriously recommend the chefs persailldes chicken. Communication was occasionally spotty. We had a few different coordinators during the planning process (we also booked them almost a year and a half out). In the end, Carrie was extremely responsive and everything went so smoothly day of! HIGHLY recommend using them as your caterer!

We had the perch taco and the lamb chops as our other two apps, also both great. For the brides salad, we added some chèvre and pecans which was a nice touch. Dinner: The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly. The phyllo mashed potatoes are such a fun twist.

Dessert: all amazing, personally never even saw them at my wedding because guests loved them so much they were gone so fast! Lee Johns does a truly unbelievable job catering large weddings, you will not be disappointed! We worked with Sarah and everything from the tasting, the to the organization with the emails and proposals, to execution on wedding day. They were huge part of making our day perfect!
