Michaela Mantarian Floral Design Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Bourbonnais, IL
  • Florist
  • Starts at $7,500

To inquire, please visit my website 🤍 Hey friend, My name is Michaela and I am a wedding planner turned florist with a heart to serve Chicagoland brides. I’ll take inspiration from your color palette and dream aesthetic and turn it into an exquisite floral design that tells the unique story of you!

Hiring Michaela as our florist was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. The florals were the most important thing to me in our outdoor, romantic, garden-inspired wedding, and I had struggled to find a florist that was able to bring my more whimsical, organic vision to life. From the start, Michaela made us feel comfortable and understood. Her communication is top-notch, walking us through the contract process and timeline, offering phone and zoom calls, and sending over extensive informational packets. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, and no request was too out of left field! When I asked for a ceremony arch that looked more like a bush than an arch, I was so excited to see exactly what I had pictured waiting for me at the end of the aisle on my wedding day. And while the florals are stunning, Michaela is a beautiful person. Our outdoor garden ceremony was moved inside by a storm that hit 20 minutes before it was meant to start, and Michaela and her team were there to adjust and beautify the new ceremony location so that we barely felt a change. She was there to support us and make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of, severe thunderstorm and all!

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Bourbonnais, IL

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are forever grateful we chose Michelle as our wedding day photographer. From the planning to the wedding day she was prepared & made everything so easy. Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui. She made sure to get all the important shots day of wedding & went above and beyond the entire day making sure my husband and I didn’t don’t forget any important photos. We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.

This place is the best!! From the very first meeting, to our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. When we had our first meeting to discuss the vision, LaNita understood exactly what it was we wanted, and prepared a brilliant proposal that included incredible descriptions that captured exactly the feeling we wanted for our wedding day. I felt so confident in the whole team there from start to finish, and it was so nice to not have to worry at all about our florals. They are incredibly full service, they included everything such as candles, vases, draping, and even better, set it all up and took it down. I also was looking to save money by reusing the arrangements from the ceremony in the reception, and they had the most creative ideas to repurpose everything. They also stayed to flip everything for a seamless day. The flowers were everything we dreamed of and more. I can’t say enough good things about LaNita and her whole team!

I have been a wedding planner for over 20 years. I am here to support your ideas and help you find ways to make your wedding day the experience you imagine. I also specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines! There are no geographic limitations. I’m comfortable working remotely for the planning process and have traveled extensively domestically and abroad. I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together. I network extensively with other vendors & have a passion for collaboration.

Awarded Best of Zola
If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

My husband and I decided last minute we wanted a winter wedding. We contacted JG and they were SO fast to get us in to talk (we waited weeks and weeks to hear back from other venues..) and Deb and her staff were nothing short of welcoming and amazing. They seriously made our day PERFECT. I can truly say I was only stressed about having nothing to do because this venue truly does it all for you and makes your dream wedding come true. There wasn’t a single thing I thought later that I wish we had done- they truly have everything covered. The amount of compliments we got throughout the night about the food and the staff was also heartwarming. Knowing we were getting taken care of so well but also our guests made the night just that much better. Not only did we have a perfect wedding, but we also gained life long family with Deb because of how sweet and caring she is. We didn’t want the wedding to end because we wouldn’t get to see and talk to Deb all the time! Truly the best venue ever. If you are struggling for a venue- look no further. This is the perfect venue

if you’re anything like i was and you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take this as your sign. i was very adamant that a wedding planner did not fit into our budget. i had been stalking cylee’s social medias and was so jealous that i couldn’t have her. since im stubborn, i began to attempt to plan the wedding by myself. i remember thinking to myself “how hard could this be?” my question was quickly answered when i had 37 vendors emailing me the next morning. we ended up hiring cylee, thinking she would “just be a wedding planner.” we were quickly proved wrong. cylee has turned into a friend. she has seen me at my best, my worst, and everything inbetween that. the amount of mental breakdowns she talked me through while we attempted to fix my flowers, make my seating chart, guest drama, etc. cylee sat with me for 8 hours…yes you read that right!!! she sat with me for EIGHT HOURS building my arch florals, welcome sign florals, and fixing my bouquets. cylee hand made everything from my save the dates, invites, seating chart, bar signs, everything!!! she even helped my maid of honor with my wedding shower. i have told everyone in my life, and now i’ll tell all of you who are stalking her page and reading her reviews, cylee is the best decision i made throughout the process of getting married (besides my husband, of course). she knew what i wanted before i did, she knew what vendors to say no to, what vendors to show me, and even had special insights and relationships with each vendor. fitting her into our budget actually ended up saving us money due to her expertise in being able to make every dream i had come true. she is a true gift to the wedding industry and to this world. our wedding night was more perfect than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without cylee.

Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special! Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined. If you’re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding day—Jake is the one.

Kate was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding makeup! She is incredibly friendly, communicative, and professional, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free from the start. She was so helpful during booking and checked in as we got closer to the wedding day, which I really appreciated. My trial went great, and Kate was very flexible when it came to a few tweaks I wanted for the wedding day. On the wedding day itself, Kate and her associate were both fantastic. My bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB absolutely loved both ladies - they helped everyone feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable throughout the morning. They also were timely arriving and kept on schedule with 12 women needing makeup services. Most importantly, my makeup looked amazing and lasted all day with only minimal touch-ups — through photos, dancing, and everything in between! I would highly recommend Kate to any bride looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely kind makeup artist. Thank you, Kate!!!

Amy was amazing to work with. I had so many questions throughout the process leading up to the big day and she made sure each and every one was answered and don’t make me feel like I was asking too much. The attention and service we received the day of was more than I expected. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. The venue was everything I pictured. It all came out perfect. My husband and I were very pleased.

We got married on June 7th and couldn’t be happier with our officiant. He was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process feel easy and personal. One of the things we appreciated most was how he incorporated both English and Spanish into the ceremony, which meant so much to us and our families. So many of our guests told us how amazing he was, he brought the perfect mix of emotion, warmth, and humor. He truly made our ceremony unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had him be a part of our day! Highly highly recommended, he was a huge contributor to the ceremony of our dreams!

I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, Cat, for providing such a nice experience for my wedding day! I will be forever grateful.

As the owner of Luniks Entertainment, I can confidently say that Katherine Santos of El’Event Weddings is an absolute powerhouse of a wedding planner and an incredible partner to work alongside. Katherine is amazing with our clients — calm, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure they feel taken care of.

Despite the tight timeline, she jumped right in, got fully up to speed, and handled everything with grace and precision. The result? A smooth, stress-free wedding day for the couple and a perfectly coordinated team of vendors. What we appreciate most about Katherine is how adaptable and solution-oriented she is.

Pete with Pete's My DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was great - he was very responsive, professional, and made sure he understood all the little details that were important to me. The quality of his work was fantastic. He perfectly executed my walk down the aisle song and timing, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night by playing the right mix of songs to appeal to all our guests. I gave Pete some special song requests that were meaningful to me and he seamlessly incorporated them while also reading the vibe of the crowd.

We believe flowers should feel effortless and expressive, and we love helping people bring their vision to life — whether it’s a dreamy wedding bouquet, a styled installation, or a fun bouquet bar.

Kenzie with stems and petals is amazing. She’s truly the best florist ever. I know nothing about flowers not even names. With very little direction and a few inspo pics she not only nailed she went above and beyond. She was so easy to work with and so fun! Her attention to every single detail was unmatched. She was timely and even my coordinator said how amazing and easy she was to work with. Worth it, get more florals and less decor!! I got so many compliments on the flowers still weeks later.
