Things to do and places to eat downtown

I’m getting married at The Pfister Hotel in October and have a lot of family coming in from out of town. I’ve only lived in Milwaukee for a year so I don’t know all the best spots. Can I get some local recommendations, both kid-friendly and non?

So far I’ve recommended Calderone club, the central library, Betty brinn, MPM, Bradford beach, the colectivo on Veteran’s Memorial…

How many MUAs and hair stylists should I get?

My wedding is at 11am. I have 3 bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid, mom and MIL, and grandmother all wanting makeup and hair done. That’s 8 of us including myself. I already picked a hairstylist and MUA for myself but I don’t think they alone can finish 7 more people in 1 morning. Ideally would like to give enough time for transportation without rushing obviously. Me and my sister/MOH are biracial (black and white) but everyone else in the list is white. My MUA and hair stylist are black men (mostly relevant for the hair). With these details, can I get an estimate for how many MUAs and hair stylists I should reserve? TIA

Looking for modest bridesmaid dresses

This has been the most painstakingly difficult task of my entire wedding. The color is brown and the ceremony is at a Catholic Church so shoulders must be covered. Both of these things eliminate 90% of the bridesmaid dresses I’ve seen. I also prefer no slit on the leg. I’ve heard the suggestion of getting a strapless/short sleeved dress and adding a shawl but I really don’t like how that looks. I’d rather just have them wear a modest dress. I have 3 bridesmaids and a junior bridesmaid who is 10. I had my sister (MOH) order one long sleeved dress I liked (picture attached) but after I had her try it on she said she was sweaty and restricted (can’t dance). My wedding will be in October in Wisconsin so weather will likely be chilly but both the ceremony and reception will be indoors and with dancing and drinking I’ve changed my mind on a restrictive long sleeve and just want a modest short sleeve. I’ve looked at Azazie and BirdyGrey extensively and haven’t found one that has sleeves and no slit. I like sunfere (where I got the long sleeved dress) but was hoping I could get some other recommendations for modest websites/retailers. Open to higher end. Would also appreciate advice for the junior bridesmaid attire.
