Monarch State is born.

We are a small Milwaukee based company with big dreams. Founded by a stay-at-home dad with past careers in craft (brewing, chocolate making) and design (graphic design, architecture), our goal is to make the next event you host more beautiful and enjoyable for you and your guests.

Monarch State was born in 2022 while planning a milestone birthday celebration for my wife, myself and our daughter that included a large guest list. We wanted our backyard to be comfortable for everyone to enjoy, so we built a set of cheap plywood cocktail tables to pair with the bar and band that we hired. The tables worked so well that we couldn’t imagine hosting another gathering without them. When a few friends asked to use them for their parties, we were happy to share.

The next year, we redesigned the tables from the ground up and built them from locally sourced solid Wisconsin ashwood. They need no linens and work great indoors and out. Their versatility truly makes them the perfect party accessory. We offer these new ashwood tables now to you, to elevate your next gathering.

Butterflies have always been a symbol of hope in our family and we love to treat our party guests like royals, which led to our name. As our dreams expand, so will our portfolio. Feel free to share any items you might like to see us offer! We look forward to working with you in planning your next party, corporate event, wedding or backyard gathering.

Thank you for supporting our small, local business!

Best,
Patrick
