  • Starts at $55
  • Serves Barrington Hills, IL

Dreaming of the perfect Wedding First Dance? We take pride in helping our couples make that dream true. Your wedding day and first dance are the most wonderful moments in life that you will remember forever.

We also specialize in Father-Daughter, Mother-Son, & Bridal Party dances, and general dancing for the reception. Send us a note today with additional questions or to book your First Introductory lesson with one of our fantastic professional dance instructors!

We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!

We booked transportation through CharterUP for our wedding and unfortunately the shuttle left about 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled 11:30 PM departure. As a result several guests including myself as the bride were left behind at the end of the night. After I left my review a manager reached out to reopen my case. They were very professional and understanding and worked with me to resolve the issue, which I appreciated. I am amending my original review to 4 stars based on their compassion and understanding. I would recommend that anyone booking confirm that drivers strictly follow the scheduled pickup times.

Maison Gabrielle France

  • Gifts and favors
  • Wedding scent experience
  • Serves Barrington Hills, IL

For almost a century, Maison Gabrielle has embodied the subtle art of taste. Shaped over time between the great kitchens of Provence and Paris, our family house collaborates with chefs and restaurateurs across the world, offering the finest expressions of spices, herbs, aromatics, artisanal tea, infusions and gourmet delights — all deeply rooted in the grand tradition of French culinary savoir-faire. In 2024, Maison Gabrielle chose to open this heritage to a wider audience, sharing its expertise through an exceptional collection designed to elevate home cooking with the same precision and elegance found in the most refined restaurants.

The Maison Gabrielle team were hands down my favorite vendors to work with for my wedding day! When you plan your wedding, the party favors are usually not at the top of your list, and I will say they were not at the top of ours. However, when we were thinking of what we would like to give to our guests as a thank you for joining us and celebrating our love, we could not find anything that really spoke to us. Most things we found were very cheap, very cliché, and not special enough. We also wanted to give something that would leave a lasting impression for our guests to remember our day that was small enough to fit into their carry-on bags for travel, that would not break. I came across Maison Gabrielle at a luxury retreat I went on in the South of France a year before our wedding. They helped create the cooking class. Something just told me to reach out to them to see if they also create anything for weddings…to my happy surprise they answered back immediately, and the rest is history! For an extra fee which we were more than happy to pay for, they personalized each organza sachet with a beautiful hangtag with each guest’s name on it. We use this as their place card at the table. Especially for guests who did not know each other at the same table this made for a great icebreaker. Many guests asking “ which spice did you get?” - and then conversation conversations continue to flow thereafter. Top notch professionalism, kindness, care and passion and very high quality is what Maison Gabrielle is! Celine & Dara were the best to work with!

I’ll be honest: when my fiancé suggested using an AI texting assistant for our wedding, I rolled my eyes. I pictured something clunky or robotic. But Festa turned out to be a genuinely helpful tool. Guests could text questions and get instant, accurate answers — no one had to call us or bug our planner about shuttle times or dress code. When we ran into a small issue setting it up, the founders responded quickly and kindly (yes, real humans!). They’re clearly trying to build something thoughtful, not just flashy tech for tech’s sake. Would use it again in a heartbeat.

Nothing for the couple or organizer to manage. The result: a book with 40, 60, sometimes 80 recipes from the actual people in the room. Their names on the pages. Their food in the couple's kitchen. For years.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony!

Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us.
