I had read Elaine Meszaros' great book, The Devil's Advocate's Guide to Planning Your Business…read moreWebsite (https://www.amazon.com/Devils-Advocates-Planni.../.../B0147B8WS4). It was helpful and informative and, like other examples of Elaine's writing, funny and entertaining. I had made and managed a website for my work as a musician and yoga teacher for many years, but it had a limited format and was time-consuming to update. So I asked Elaine to help me pull together an affordable new website that I could maintain, for the most part, on my own. She recommended WordPress, and she built the website with all of the features I asked for: the kind of menu that I liked, a homepage that moved the way that I wanted it to; soothing colors and a font that I liked; a place to schedule yoga sessions; a place for listening to cuts of songs and for buying downloads or CDs; and a blog. Elaine also helped me learn how to go in to work on the site, adding text, updates, and photos that I take. Learning to work with WordPress brought out all of my technophobic tics, and I needed a fair amount of help along the way. But Elaine stayed patient and clear with me, and we got it done... And I now have a website that I really like, and the basic skills to work with it, update it, and keep it going on my own. Elaine Meszaros is great. She is smart, funny, and knows how to work well with crotchety clients who have a hard time learning a new technology. I'm sure she would do well with mellower clients, too! I recommend her highly--as a very creative visual artist and graphic designer, as a web designer, and as an educator who can demystify tech processes and make them accessible for people like me who struggle with them.

WAIT. Hold up. How had I NEVER reviewed this amazing place?! *headdesk*…read more Let's back up to 2015....when I used their services for our wedding set at a barn in Poynette. I rented two windows for our buffet menu and seating chart. I could've rented more things, but I really had to do my best to hold back because they have a TON in their inventory that I could've used. Alas, the budget did not allow such a splurge. Don't get me wrong - they're not absurdly expensive. Personally, I would've spent too much because I don't know when to stop sometimes.... I opted out of the custom writing as I wanted to do it myself with my BFF/MOH as a fun project. Even though we didn't request their custom writing services, they did provide suggestions on what to use, which was super helpful! Staff was just overall very friendly and pleasant to work with. Pick up was super easy - it took maybe 5-10 minutes from driving up to getting it loaded. Drop off was even easier. I'm not sure when we'd use them again, but I do recommend them to friends who are seeking a vintage look for their special events.

My wife and I held our outdoor / tent reception wedding in northern Wisconsin and were having a…read morevery hard time finding a tablescape we were satisfied with. Then we found A La Crate and their amazing wood tables and everything fell into place. Tablecloth linen rentals are astronomical in price. For almost the same cost we could rent amazing wood tables from A La Crate (we took 18 of them) and didn't have to worry about packing up a bunch of tablecloths after the reception to ship back to the rental company. A La Crate made the drop-off and pick-up insanely easy. I highly recommend you visit their shop because, while their web site features useful photography, there's nothing like seeing everything with your own eyes. They have so much great stuff. We found additional things we didn't know we needed (great assortment of dessert serving trays and tiers) and fancy bride and groom chairs that set our spot out a bit from our guests. And it was all reasonably priced of course. I can't recommend them highly enough. I'm so grateful we found them, I honestly don't know what we would have done had we not.

We have been using Twig & Olive Photography for our family photos every year for the past 10 years…read more We live in Oshkosh and travel over 1 hour for our sessions because we love them so much! Doug makes our sessions so much fun and we always end up with photos that look amazing! As our kids have gotten older, they look forward to seeing Doug each year. He has done such a great job capturing their changing personalities and making sessions easy and natural. Getting a 12 year old boy to actually not mind getting his picture taken is no easy task, but Doug seems to do it every year. Our family has truly appreciated the photos that Twig & Olive Photography has captured for us over the years. These photos are such wonderful memories that we will have forever. If you are looking for quality photography that looks natural, not posed, and that truly captures your family in the best way possible, Twig & Olive Photography is just simply the best there is.

We were so happy with the photos we got back and can't wait to share them with family and friends. The best part of our experience working with Doug was how fun he made the shoot. My son deeply laughed throughout the shoot and at the end wanted to know when he could play with Doug again! We will definitely be working with them again!

I went to the grand opening (stumbled upon it on Facebook while looking for the Sun Prairie Makers…read moreMarket) it was SO CUTE. I love the location and what they've done with the church building. Fixtures are gorgeous and there was a lot of good products. I didn't see a lot of stuff I had to have in the moment, but there was so many cute things that I liked. I had a very nice employee wearing a red sweater (sorry I didn't catch your name!) who was excited to talk to people and make recommendations. I appreciated how welcoming she was. There are plenty of affordable fashion finds, and as a designer I was impressed with how on trend they were! Nice job buying team. I will definitely keep this shop in mind for the future. Great vibes and people = will definitely return for me.

First time in Wisconsin Apparel Co. The store has a great vibe, I loved the decor (think rustic…read moreWisconsin vibes). Half of the store is for printing and the other half is merchandise. I loved how the merchandise was organized. They have a great amount of items, enough but not too much that it's overwhelming. I really enjoyed looking at all of their t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc. Everything seemed to be great quality, the clothing is very soft. Each section had its own display. I really appreciated all of the detail throughout the store. I was there shopping for gifts for my 2 nieces. I needed 2 small shirts. The kids section was small but had cute stuff. I ended up getting 2 t-shirts that had a Wisconsin state outline. All around great experience. I'll be back to shop for myself!
