Rachel + Mike | Waterloo, Wisconsin | Relaxed + Vibrant Summer Wedding at The Wildwood Barn & Cottage

By

Rachel and Mike’s sweet and charming wedding day at The Wildwood Barn & Cottage was everything we love about summer weddings!With their amazing smiles and good-natured vibes, these two were one of the sweetest couples we’ve ever had the opportunity to work with.

Their wedding day was the perfect mix of relaxed but traditional, full of vibrant summer color, and incorporated many personal elements significant to them as a couple. We loved all the sweet details of their day and exploring a new venue that we can’t wait to be back at again!

See more from Rachel + Mike’s July Wisconsin wedding day down below!

The Wildwood Barn & Cottage’s location is a tucked-away treat with plenty of trees, a hidden pond with trails, rustic barns, a charming cottage, and the most wonderful owners who turned their family’s farm into a Wisconsin wedding slice of heaven!

Rachel and Mike decided to have both a ceremony in a church and an outdoor ceremony at their reception location – the best of both worlds!

Guests enjoyed dancing the night away under the stars and café lights outside the bar barn (bar-n, if you will) and s’mores over the fire pit at sundown alongside an ice cream cart! Also, how breathtaking are the sunset photos of these two?

All the best to Rachel and Mike – congratulations again on your beautiful marriage!

Whitney + David | Madison, Wisconsin | Glam Downtown Wedding at The Sylvee

By

After postponing their wedding date TWICE, the third time was a charm for Whitney and David, who hosted their celebration at The Sylvee that focused on their values and vibe as a couple throughout. The wedding of this awesome California-based couple included many personal touches from their community, with the evening’s MC and reception band being childhood friends of Whitney’s!⁠⁠

⁠One of Madison’s newest and most unique wedding venues, The Sylvee did not require much dressing up, but our HUE crew had fun with what we did, including a few glam pieces from Event Essentials and A La Crate Rentals, all captured masterfully by Tim Fitch Photography, of course!⁠

⁠⁠We LOVED our planning journey with this couple, who had the perfect balance of both keeping it fun and keeping it real. Congrats Whitney + David!⁠

⁠⁠P.S. we also loved that Whitney told her sister Meagan that she HAD to hire the HUE team for her big day as well and we got to celebrate with them this past year too!

See more from Whitney + David’s downtown Madison wedding day below!

We were in love with the ambiance of The Sylvee and their industrial vibe that was such an easy blank canvas to transform Whitney + David’s wedding day into the unique and beautiful one that it was.

We had all hands on deck flipping this gorgeous ceremony space into a dinner scene during their happy hour and then flipping it again into a dance floor for this fun-loving couple to dance the night away with their loved ones!

One of our favorite parts of their day was coordinating the logistics to play a pre-recorded toast from David’s mom who was battling cancer in Tennessee and couldn’t attend their special day. The raw emotion was felt throughout the entire venue.

Congratulations, Whitney + David!

Rachel + Logan | Arlington, Wisconsin | Simple + Rustic Spring Backyard Barn Wedding

By

Rachel and Logan’s wedding was the most lovely day for the most deserving of couples.⁠ ⁠⁠Our first meeting with Rachel and Logan had us loving their laidback style and passion for being good humans.⁠ We turned a big, old (like 1830’s old) barn into a magical oasis on a quiet farm dotted with gardens, and it was beautiful.
⁠⁠
This couple was hoping for a simple and elegant day that had all the trimmings, but not a lot of fuss, and we had the BEST time making it happen in just 4 months!⁠⁠ Working with a blank canvas and a vision is our favorite art, and we’re not sure which part we loved more from Rachel and Logan’s wedding: planning it or executing it!⁠ ⁠⁠Enjoy each detail below!

The property belonged to a business client of Logan’s and was the perfect setting for these two to join in union surrounded by their closest loved ones.

We loved the fun and laughter yard games brought to both the couple and their guests!

This 1830’s barn was transformed into an absolute dream covered in twinkle lights for this fun-loving couple and their guests to dance their hearts out for the rest of the night!

Congratulations, Rachel + Logan!

Johanna + Mike: Madison Children’s Museum – Madison, WI

By

Johanna + Mike were one of the sweetest couples who were married and one of the sweetest venues, Madison Children’s Museum of course! We enjoyed everything about these two, from how relaxed they were in planning to how much fun they were excited to have at this playful venue. 

Weddings are known for pomp and circumstance. This couple embraced that their union was a cause for a no-holds-bar celebration! Glamming up classic fun food, the space, and even utilizing the Lego Wall for their guests. 

If I had to choose one phrase that embodies this wedding, it would be:
A family that plays together stays together! 

Congrats Johanna + Mike!

HUE 2021 Summer Round Up

By

It brings me so much joy to officially report that this summer of 2021 has been busy, satisfying, and safe. While there continues to be a great deal of uncertainty about what the future brings, these past 18 months have certainly reinforced the need to live in the moment, so we’ve been doing just that.

Speaking of living in the moment, today we’re going to do a summer round up, featuring some personal and professional ventures of the past few months. Thanks in advance for coming along for the ride as we reflect on these recent adventures!

HUE’s first officiant role
When some of Sarah’s best friends needed a last-minute backup after their officiant could no longer make their destination wedding, she was honored to step into the role. Congrats Steph + AJ!

Weddings are BACK!
After over a year of cancellations, postponements, and restrictions that felt like they’d never end, we finally were able to execute our first few HUE weddings past post-Covid, and boy did it feel good. Thank you to Rachel + Logan, Franki + Brock, Abby + Tyler, and Whitney + David for putting your faith in us!

Explore Local
After a year without any major travel, we weren’t in a rush to fill the calendar back up right away. Instead, we opted to keep many of our free weekends low-key and explore locally. This included a day trip to Mt. Horeb, time on the lakes, drinks on the Terrace, and a spa trip to The Edgewater.

NACE Experience
But of course, that didn’t mean we didn’t do ANY travel 🙂 After being postponed in 2020, the NACE Experience Conference was back and better than ever, being held this year in fabulous Las Vegas!

We learned, we connected, and we celebrated THREE big wins for our local NACE Capital Area of Wisconsin Chapter, including Chapter of the Year!! Can’t wait until next year!
Networking and Coming Together with Friends
Finally, we filled the remainder of our time doing what we do best, building and maintaining relationships and friendships. This included attending the launch party of WIN and celebrating major industry milestones and work with The Tinsmith and The Eloise, two Madison-area venues with who we have become very close over the past year. Partnerships like all of these and more are the lifeblood of HUE and have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today.

We are excited about all of this and at the same time, watching and waiting to see what unfolds this fall. We are hopeful for the world to continue moving in a forward direction and at the same time realize another pivot may be required. Either way, we’re ready because “that’s not what you normally do”… is what we do.
