OUTSTANDING property we used for our 61st high school reunion — An Eventective User from Brookfield, WI

On behalf of the BEHS 61st High School Reunion Organization Committee and the entire first graduating class of Brookfield East High School (1964), I want to extend our deepest gratitude to you and the exceptional team at the DoubleTree by Hilton Milwaukee – Brookfield for hosting our reunion from Tuesday, September 16, through Thursday, September 18, 2025. For many of us, now in our late seventies and early eighties, this was likely the final large-scale “national” gathering of our class. You helped make it not just successful, but truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, your competitive pricing for both sleeping rooms and banquet facilities made it possible for classmates traveling from across the country to attend without financial burden. As plans evolved — even with some last-minute staffing changes on the banquet side — you and your team remained flexible, responsive, and proactive. Your timely suggestions, including the brilliant last-minute repositioning of the bar area within the salon, created better flow and gave everyone more room to mingle, laugh, and reconnect after six decades apart. Those small but thoughtful adjustments elevated the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the "front-of-house" staff greeted us with genuine warmth and friendliness that immediately put everyone at ease. The property itself was fresh, impeccably clean, and inviting — a perfect backdrop for renewing old friendships. Behind the scenes, the “back-of-house” team worked tirelessly and flawlessly to ensure every detail was perfect. Our sleeping rooms were spacious, bright, and spotless, and the expanded banquet space allowed classmates who hadn’t seen each other in years to move comfortably, share stories, and create new memories. Ashley, you personally orchestrated an event that far exceeded our expectations. Having worked with many sales and catering professionals throughout my career, I can say without hesitation that your attention to detail, calm professionalism, and sincere care for our group were extraordinary. This was never “just another event” to you or your staff — it felt personal, and that made all the difference. Our classmates are still talking about what a wonderful event it was, and the DoubleTree by Hilton Milwaukee – Brookfield will always be remembered as the place where the Class of ’64 came together one last, glorious time. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to every member of your team — front desk, housekeeping, banquet servers, cooks, and everyone who worked so hard to make us feel welcomed and celebrated. You have our profound appreciation and highest recommendation. Congratulations on a reunion that clearly touched so many lives. Well done! With warmest regards and Spartan pride, Jerry Martin Co-Chair, BEHS Class of 1964 61st Reunion Committee
