2026 Menu Showcase!

SSE teamed up with our friends at Culinary Infusion for their annual Menu Showcase at The Covenant at Murray Mansion — and what a day it was!  Excited couples arrived ready to sample a delicious array of salads, side dishes, entrées, and custom-crafted cocktails, all in anticipation of their upcoming wedding celebrations.

Let The Good Times Roll!

SSE kicked off the new year in style with our first corporate event of 2026! Circa on Seventh hosted a high-energy casino night, and we went all in for a great time. Guests enjoyed custom cocktails, tasty appetizers, and a delicious buffet dinner while trying their luck at the tables. Between the action on the casino floor and the intense Packers vs. Bears playoff game on the big screen, there was never a dull moment. A bevy of awesome door prizes capped off an unforgettable evening—everyone truly went home a winner! Special thanks to Keith, Steve, Sydney, Karis, Heather, the crew from Vegas on Wheels, and all the team members who came out and let the good times roll!

JO Holiday Gathering!

The Johnson Outdoors team came together for their annual holiday gathering, and SSE was there for all the festive fun! Buddy the Elf traveled all the way from the North Pole for a special appearance, spreading the spirit of the season to everyone! Corey and the amazing team from The Red Onion prepared a delicious Christmas feast, followed by fun games for new employees, a “Minute to Win It” challenge with the executive committee, and plenty of prizes and presents for all. Thank you to the many employee volunteers who worked hard to create such a fun and memorable afternoon—and happy holidays to all!

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree!

The good people of Data Financial celebrated the holiday season at The Club at Strawberry Creek, and SSE was there for all the excitement!  Guests got into the spirit of things with custom cocktails and tasty appetizers before settling in for a delicious buffet dinner.  After the meal, Marc did a great job presenting the annual service awards to this hard-working crew.  Before long, it was time to light up the dance floor and celebrate!  Big thanks to Jenni, Marc, the event team at Strawberry Creek, and everyone from Data Financial who came out to celebrate the season!

Make You Feel My Love!

SSE’s final wedding of the 2025 season was a huge success!  The Stella Hotel & Ballroom in downtown Kenosha was the site of Alex and Emma’s beautiful wedding ceremony and reception!  Father of the Groom John Suppinger did a wonderful job officiating the afternoon service when our newlyweds made their promises to each other in front of a packed house of family and friends.  After the ceremony, guests had time to mingle and head to The 1844 Table & Mash for cocktails and refreshments while Tiffany, Tori, and the Stella event team prepared the ballroom for dinner.  As always, it was a pleasure to work alongside Andrew Meier Photography who documented all the special moments throughout the day and was kind enough to share the amazing pictures below.  We had a fantastic time out on the dance floor with a very energetic crew as we capped off another year of unforgettable wedding celebrations.  Big congratulations to Alex and Emma!

I Love The 80's To Death!

The neon lights were shining bright at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom for their “I Love the 80’s to Death Murder Mystery Dinner!”  Guests stepped back into the 1980s for a night full of mystery, music, and totally tubular fun. The energy from the crowd, bright outfits, and sleuthing skills made the night truly unforgettable. After the mystery was solved, we kept the dance floor rockin’ well into the night with all best hits of the 80’s!  Big thanks to Tiffany and the entire event team at The Stella for putting together such a fun and memorable event!
