A Breathtaking Rooftop Wedding: Celebrating Quinn & Zakk at Hotel Metro MKE

A Stunning Rooftop Wedding Ceremony and Brunch Reception: A Perfect Day for Love

When Quinn and Zakk said their "I dos" on a beautiful Sunday morning, it wasn’t just a wedding; it was an unforgettable celebration of love and togetherness. Set against the stunning backdrop of downtown Milwaukee, WI (where they met 7 years ago to the day!) the rooftop of Hotel Metro MKE offered breathtaking city views that were the perfect setting for this intimate and heartfelt ceremony (did I mention they even had a beautiful dove release from the rooftop!?). The vibe was elevated yet relaxed, and every detail was tailored to reflect the couple’s unique style.

A Unique Sunday Celebration with Brunch, Music, and Love

Opting for a Sunday wedding with a brunch reception, Quinn and Zakk created a distinctively personal celebration that embraced all their favorite things: delicious food (a true WI Bloody Mary bar), live music by yours truly, and a close-knit gathering of family and friends. After the rooftop wedding ceremony, the party continued downstairs in Hotel Metro's elegant main ballroom.

Musical Moments: From First Dances to Memorable Serenades

As the chosen performer for the day, I had the honor of setting the tone from the moment guests arrived. From a romantic melody that carried throughout the ceremony to fun, live music truly brought an extra layer of warmth and intimacy to the day. I was also thrilled to provide the music for Quinn and Zakk's first dances, where they shared some of the most touching moments of their celebration.

One of the highlights was playing and singing their first dance song—Until the Sun Needs. to Rise-a beautiful, soulful moment that perfectly captured the essence of their love story. Live music always adds that special something, turning moments into memories.

Working with Incredible Vendors

This day was made even more special thanks to the talented vendors who brought Quinn and Zakk’s vision to life. From stunning floral arrangements to delicious brunch dishes, every detail was perfectly executed. I’m honored to have been a part of this talented team and encourage you to check them out for your own celebrations!

Playing a role in such a meaningful celebration is something I never take for granted. It’s moments like these that highlight the power of live music to enhance and elevate every special occasion.
