I would absolutely recommend Annette for florals for your wedding! Our flowers turned out absolutely amazing! Annette was so great throughout the entire process. She is the sweetest, most kind woman and showed us that she truly cared about helping make our day special! She nailed our vision! Whenever I had doubts or was unsure on a specific design, she always helped me make a decision with her expertise, but I loved that it never felt forced and she was very particular about making me feel that it was truly whatever I wanted. This was huge! Annette was so professional and was so easy to work with. I don’t know what we would have done without her. Thank you, Annette!

Lovin Oven Cakery 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Antioch, IL
  • Cakes & desserts

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Lovin Oven Cakery was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive and organized in their communication, making selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. The final product was a true work of art—a stunning four-tiered, multi-flavored masterpiece that was easy on the eyes and yummy for our tummies! Their creativity and attention to detail truly shone through, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the cake tasted. All of this coupled with a complimentary recreation of the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary makes Lovin Oven THE BEST.

Our wedding planner was stuck out of town the whole weekend of our wedding and we didn’t have anyone to coordinate the wedding day things we needed done. Brooke stepped in and made herself available to coordinate the bridesmaids and groomsmen, organized the photographers, and other people who were working to help us for our special day. She made it look so easy and we were relaxed knowing it was taken care of.

If only there were more than 5 stars to give Brittany and Rock 1 Photography... She is the most professional, efficient, light-hearted, positive, and FUN photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We worked together on a wedding once (I am a floral designer), and I was so impressed by her that I hired her to take photos of my family. On a crummy-weather day, where toddler temper tantrums and bad attitudes were flying high, Brittany somehow managed to snap shots that made us look like the happiest, most attractive family ever!! To say I was blown away is an understatement. If you're looking for a photographer who you can TRULY count on, and is GUARANTEED to get you the most amazing pictures from your wedding day - look no further... Brittany is the absolute BEST!

Heather started her floral career early on at the age of 15. She immediately recognized her passion and natural aptitude for floral design and never looked back. Rachel came into the picture later on. She always had creative drive (drawing, painting, etc), but found her talent's true home in the floral industry in 2018 when we began working together.

The flowers were absolutely perfect. So glad I trusted them with the design! I gave them my color palette and a few of my favorite flowers and they made this beautiful bouquet for me, along with the rest of my wedding flowers! They really know what they’re doing!

Planning a wedding is extremely stressful but Ken made the whole process fun from the get go! He explained everything extremely thoroughly and we were never left with any confusion or worries. Ken amplified our wedding experience more than we could have ever asked including slideshows and voiceovers! You can tell he paid attention to our preferred choice and style of music throughout the planning process that really came through at the wedding. I can confidently say we never left the dance floor!

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience working with Jeremy! He is so considerate, professional, and easy to talk to. He is incredibly creative and motivated to make our dreams come to life. He was even willing to hike in a forest with us on a hot, buggy evening to capture the most beautiful photos we've ever seen that will forever remind us of our special day. 10/10, no complaints - he is simply the best!

We had our wedding at Bluestem Farm in Illinois, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was — it truly speaks for itself. The entire setup made the day feel fun, relaxed, and incredibly special. One of our favorite parts was the flexibility to choose all of our own vendors, which allowed us to really personalize our day. At the same time, Bluestem provided a list of fantastic recommended vendors, which made planning so much easier. Choosing Kelly, the owner, as our day-of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions we made. She ensured everything ran smoothly and handled anything that came up behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. We never had to worry about a thing. We genuinely wish we could go back and do it all over again. We couldn’t recommend Bluestem Farm more highly!

The quality of her work is stunning: creative, timeless, and truly a work of art. If you are looking for a photographer who has fun with you, helps you step out of your comfort zone, and creates wonderful images to last a lifetime, Nicole Kilday Photography is the one. She makes the entire experience easy, enjoyable, and unforgettable—while delivering photos that are truly works of art. Nicole was so helpful with timeline planning and keeping our lively group in order. She’s down to earth, really listens to your needs and wants, and makes sure every special moment is captured beautifully. Her support both before and during the wedding went above and beyond—we could always count on her for anything we needed. We are so grateful to have had Nicole as part of our day and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Fox Reverie Media is a videography and photography company based in Northern Illinois, also serving Wisconsin and Michigan. We specialize in capturing your day, your way. Whether you want to make your wedding look like a movie, or a Wes Anderson film, we got you!

Working with Fox Reverie Media LLC was such a great choice for our wedding day. From the very first conversation, she was quick to respond and crystal clear in all her communication, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Even when our venue address changed at the last minute, she rolled with it and still delivered stunning photos and videos that captured every meaningful moment. What really impressed us was how thoughtful they were—she was constantly moving around to find the perfect angles of our sunset, our families, and especially the intimate shots between my husband and I. She also helped us film a secret wedding video with our closest family that we revealed to guests on the big day, and honestly, everyone was blown away. We'll be calling on Fox Reverie Media LLC for every special moment in our lives from here on out.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

Working alongside Yes to I Do was such an incredible experience! As the photographer for the day, I was so impressed with how organized, communicative, and genuinely kind their team was from start to finish. They kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed, joyful atmosphere for everyone involved. It truly felt like we were all on the same page, working together to give the couple the best day ever. Can’t wait to work with this amazing team again! It was truly a dream collaboration!
