Julia + Jake's Turner Hall Ballroom Wedding | Milwaukee
Julia and Jake chose the iconic Turner Hall Ballroom to host their wedding celebration, and it was the perfect choice. Nestled in the heart of Milwaukee's buzzing Deer District, Turner Hall stands as the elder statesperson of the neighborhood, a beloved landmark that was making memories long before the Bucks ever moved in. With its stunning classic ballroom and rich history, Turner Hall has seen countless unforgettable nights, and Julia and Jake's wedding was no exception.
Opting to forgo a first look, the couple spent their morning getting ready separately, each parading through Milwaukee's scenic riverfront with their attendants — carefully avoiding each other until that magical moment at the altar. And if Julia's gown looks like a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made perfectly for her, that's because it was — her mom made it just for her!
After the ceremony, the celebration spilled out onto the streets of Milwaukee. The wedding party and a few extra friends piled onto a party bus and headed to the lakefront near the Milwaukee Art Museum and Discovery World for photos — both with their crew and as newlyweds.
One of the highlights of the day was stealing a few quiet moments with Julia and Jake on the rooftop of Turner Hall. We didn't catch a dramatic sunset, but the bird's-eye views of the Deer District and the downtown Milwaukee skyline never disappoint.
Then it was time to party — feasting, dancing, and celebrating late into the night.
Julia and Jake are truly fabulous humans, and I couldn't be happier to have shared their day. Wishing them all the love, laughter, and joyful memories as they build their life together!
