I was in the wedding party at one of my best friend's wedding a few months back, and they hired Electric Sugar to be their wedding band. I was super impressed. It was clear these are not musicians who just play on the weekends. They are PROS. They played the hits, and brought a great energy that had everyone dancing all night long. The vibe was so great, and they really didn't let up. As a musician myself I really like watching musicians do their thing, and every single member of this band is exceptional. Really can't recommend enough if you want to have basically the funnest wedding reception possible. Electric Sugar is the real deal!

Being Joy Photography 

5.0

Carol Stream, IL
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,799

For as long as I can remember I have always been around a camera. Growing up, my Mom was a big documenter of life freezing childhood moments in prints and recording videos. For my ninth birthday I received my first camera. GAME CHANGER. Boy was it fun to step on the other side of the camera. I was unstoppable, never letting my camera leave my side. From then on I cannot remember I time I hadn't owned a camera... or two... or three! Giving other the gift of memories is what brings me the most joy in life. To know that they will have moments they loved shared and reminisced for generations to come. That is everything.

Joy has been absolutely wonderful to work with in all capacities. She puts a lot of effort into getting to know her clients with personal touches that do not go unnoticed. Most photos taken of me (the bride) in normal life are of the marathon / running photo variety, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel with more posed couple photos. Joy made everything feel so natural and easy between both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Joy is extremely organized and is fantastic with time management - her template for the timeline worked so well for further planning. When the ceremony ran over, she got us back on target and moving out of the church while getting all the photos we had requested. She has such great vision for small details and how things will photograph - I often said “I trust your vision!” and the photos turned out so stunning! I especially wanted to remember the day in color, and Joy absolutely delivered on that (and quickly, too - the sneak peeks came back the next day!). She truly captured the magic of a fairytale day, and I am thankful to her and her team for their hard work. Joy is an invaluable asset to have on your wedding day, and you truly will not regret booking with her.

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring BreAnn to be our day of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. We got married this past June and our day went perfectly, so smooth, no hiccups and this is all because of Bre. Anytime I recommend Bre to a future bride, one thing I always say is that when you consider how much money is going into a wedding - you should also make an investment in making sure your day runs smoothly. Bre met with me a year prior to my wedding, helped create a spreadsheet to keep track of all vendors, gave amazing recommendations on vendors, did a walk through of the venue with me, created timelines, helped with o ur rehearsal & so much more. All of that was done BEFORE the wedding day was even here. Bre goes above and beyond to coordinate all your vendors and puts so much effort in making sure your vision comes to life. The day of my wedding I, nor anyone in the bridal party was bothered with vendor questions which really allowed everyone to just be able to relax. When arriving to our venue Bre had helped set up the decor and everything was stunning. Because I live close by her she even came and picked up my welcome sign prior to the wedding day along with the marriage certificate so I truly had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Bre helped everyone stay on track with timing, helped everyone throughout the ceremony know where to stand, when to start walking, etc - which is so helpful when you’re trying to get a bunch of people in a bridal party to listen. Once the wedding was over Bre packed up all of our decor making sure everything was extremely organized and she even took home my flower bouquet since I was having it preserved and helped coordinate that to ensure the bouquet would be safe at the end of the night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - just do it. You truly will not regret hiring Bre, she was the best vendor/decisions I could have made for our wedding!

Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.

With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

Jen absolutely stunned me with the flowers she showed up with on my wedding day. She made my vision a reality, and then some. She was mindful of our budget, had creative ideas that I never would have thought of, listened deeply, and was so kind and thoughtful when nudging me away from bad ideas :-) I would absolutely recommend her.

My husband found Ceasar's company online. He was happy to hop on a FaceTime call with us to talk about his DJ services. We love EDM and house music and he was very knowledgable about all the music we talked about! We asked if we can make playlists for everything and it was super easy to send stuff over to him, to play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was AWESOME at introductions and did a great job of trying to stick with our schedule and being flexible. We also got the photobooth service from him and the pictures turned out amazing!! He sent us a link with all the pictures from the night, which we enjoyed looking at. He even sent a few videos! We also got the glow sticks and the crowd loved them!

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

I don’t know where to begin! Anders and Kristin were truly the dream team behind capturing our wedding day! They weren’t just our photographer and videographer, they were our hype team! Not only did they deliver breathtaking photos and a beautifully crafted video that have allowed us to relive every magical moment, but they also went above and beyond—personally driving us to our venue on our wedding day. Anders and Kristin were also some of the most fun people we’ve ever worked with. From our initial meeting at our engagement shoot, they had us laughing, feeling totally at ease, and actually enjoying every moment in front of the camera. Their creativity and talent speak for themselves—the photos and video are beyond stunning—but it’s their personalities that made the whole experience unforgettable. They somehow managed to capture every candid, heartfelt, and hilarious moment, while also making sure we had the time of our lives in the process. If you want vendors who feel like old friends and who will turn your wedding day into an adventure, these two are it! We couldn't be more grateful.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

So easy to work with. Pictures turned out so perfect. Not to mention she’s so kind and full of positivity! Would highly recommend!

From the first email to the final touch-ups, the team at MXA Beauty Bar was a dream to work with on our wedding day. Their communication via email and text was prompt, professional, and reassuring throughout the planning process. On the big day, their work was absolute perfection - my makeup and hairstyle were sleek, elegant, and made me feel like the best version of myself.
