We are honored to be featured in Premier Bride Milwaukee highlighting Tina and Krishna's wedding day that was a blend of the couple's cultures and traditions. The couple honored both Tina's Italian Catholic background and Krishna's Indian Hindu heritage with two ceremonies.

In the morning, they celebrated a Catholic ceremony at Old St. Mary’s, followed by a Hindu ceremony and reception here at Discovery World. The reception took place in our Pilot House, overlooking Lake Michigan, their wedding was a testament to the blending of cultures on their special day.

A highlight of the evening was the Baraat, a vibrant Indian tradition where Krishna arrived at Discovery World on a 50-foot yacht, accompanied by lively music and dancing.

We feel honored to have been a part of Tina and Krishna’s special day, uniting cultures and hearts.

“Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the venue, view, staff, food, & overall experience! We were so thankful we worked with Madeline, because we never had to worry about anything & everything was very efficient + organized! From the initial menu tasting to the final invoice, everything was so clear, and the invoices were straightforward. All of the staff were so polite & friendly, so we definitely felt we were in good hands. I really appreciated the special accommodations that were made for me and our guests with allergies! The room was beautiful & exactly what I had envisioned. We really appreciated how structured the whole process was, such as the instructional email for dropping off decor (with pictures!) and the policies on the invoices. We felt reassured that it was all laid out with what we could/couldn't do, because it reflected how experienced they were. We knew we could relax that day while they provided the highest level of service. Also, so many staff members came to check on me throughout the night & made sure we were as content as possible!

We wanted to specifically point out that Madeline’s level of professionalism and expertise were very much appreciated throughout the planning process! We can't express how reassuring it was to have her on our team, because it felt like she was always thinking about our vision of the day! It just felt like everything was taken care of & she helped us think of everything, so nothing was missed in the end. It can be quite intimidating planning a wedding for the first time, as I'm sure everyone knows that there are so many expectations/traditions that guests come in with. Madeline helped us so much to consider what we should add or what might be unnecessary. Especially with everything on Pinterest/social media, we just felt that she always considered what was essential to our day, instead of adding everything that could be thought of. I think it is more that we felt like we weren't being taken advantage of/just a way to make money, which is something that can't be said about all wedding vendors & venues. We felt like she really listened to us & made it personal to us as a couple. We would highly recommend having any event at Discovery World with Madeline! We have received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the reception was & felt it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!”

Life is about discovering new experiences and wonder. We are proud to partner with Discovery World and support their mission of inspiration through celebrating life meaningful moments together.

We wanted to few kind words about one of our past weddings we received:

"Hi Madeline,

THANK YOU SO MUCH for a most wonderful wedding celebration!!

When we arrived, the ceremony space, with the beautiful lake as a backdrop, was breathtaking! Inside, breathtaking as well, with the lights and tables and views truly fulfilling Natalie and Matt’s vision! Many thanks.

Then..your recommended vendors! We chose several of them—notably Heather Cook Elliott Photography and . Excellent choices. The coordination with all of the many outside vendors appeared seamless…no small feat we are sure.

Also, we so appreciate your patient assistance and leadership throughout, including the ceremony procession, the gathering and seating of guests inside…and the “bustle fun”. :) So impressive.

With your professional and personal guidance, Discovery World delivered as promised: beautiful venue—decorated exactly as Natalie and Matt had asked, excellent service from you and your wait staff—including quick resolution of any questions or requests, and outstanding food—to a person, the food was praised, especially the filets!!!

You and Discovery World helped make our daughter’s dream of her perfect wedding day come true! She and Matt were enjoying every minute—our very best barometer. We are so grateful.

Thank you,
Wendy and Bob Goldman "
