The Face of STYLISH EVENTS Dynamic Events by David Caruso David Caruso

Regarded as a premier national event planner and designer, David Caruso is known for the creativity, elegance and attention to detail that is evident in every event he designs. Caruso is extremely well known for producing elegant and elaborate events over the past 13 years since he’s been in business. He has transformed ballrooms into fantasy lands and backyards of private estates into magical expressions of his client’s style and personalities. In the past year, David has produced events in Wisconsin, Miami, Puerto Rico and Seattle. Later in 2015, he will travel to Scottsdale and the West Indies to create more signature events.

In 2014, David received three top national awards from NACE (National Association for Catering and Events) in the following categories: Best

Table Production of the Year, Best Wedding of the Year—Budget Greater than $100,000.00, and the ultimate industry accolade, Planner of the Year. Special Events Magazine included David on their annual 30 Under 40 feature – a list of 30 young event professionals from around the globe gifted with the talent and drive to take the industry to the next level.

Caruso says that his team “doesn’t just produce parties; we produce experiences that take people on a journey of excitement and total captivation — from creative culinary menus and engaging entertainment to impactful décor and exhilarating locations. We raise the bar and constantly strive to offer unique corporate events, parties, charitable galas and weddings.

After all the awards and compliments have been handed out, the folks from Eddie Martini’s get up every morning with the humble nature to serve.

That in and of itself is what guides them to provide you with the lasting memory of a great dining experience.

As Chris Murphy explains: “The necessity for a restaurant like Eddie Martini’s is a combination of meticulously chosen and prepared product and warm inviting atmosphere. But what makes Eddie’s

great is the number of years each of us has been here, our individual personalities and our dedication to our customers.“ The bar is spontaneous with lively conversation and excellent drinks.

The dining is intimate, formal and sincerely friendly.

Eddie Martini’s is one of those places known as one of Milwaukee’s iconic restaurants for steaks, chops and seafood.

But for those of us who are regulars, we simply think, “that’s my Eddie’s.”

The Face of LAKE COUNTRY REAL ESTATE Pat Bolger Realty Group Pat Bolger Real estate entrepreneur Pat Bolger believes in a different way of selling real estate, and he’s forging his own path to realize it. As one of Lake Country’s top representatives of lake homes and luxury properties, Bolger has demonstrated that he can translate the lessons he’s learned after nearly thirty years in real estate and automotive sales into lucrative home sales.

Looking around at the other agencies in Lake Country, Bolger noticed that they were too traditional, lacking an innovative strategy for taking command of the current market for the benefits of their clients. Utilizing cutting-edge marketing strategies has proven successful for Pat. Born and raised in the Lake Country area, Bolger has a history here that not many other agents can claim. His knowledge of and passion for this distinctive region of southeastern Wisconsin is second-to-none, ensuring his clients not only the best service, but the best price for their home.

In January of 2014, Bolger, armed with this common-sense strategy, established the Pat Bolger Realty Group and set up shop in Oconomowoc. Since then, he has made his new company’s presence known by becoming the fastest growing company in Lake Country and continuing his track record of representing high-end homes.
