Nick and his team were the first vendors we booked once we set our wedding date! We knew we loved his style from my sisters wedding and we HAD to have them apart of our wedding day. He’s professional, so energetic, and goes above and beyond in every aspect! Nick and his team brought us our first drinks of the night, we’re so attentive to where my husband and I were during the reception - If we left the room for a moment, he didn’t play any of our requested songs he knew we’d want to be present for! The biggest compliment we receive from our wedding guests is still about Nick and the music - songs were played for just the right amount of time and he does an amazing job of keeping the energy up ALL NIGHT. One of my main goals for our reception was keeping the dance floor packed the whole time and Nick did just that. I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Nick and his team at Impulse Entertainment. Impulse Entertainment is the vendor I recommend first to any of my friends once they get engaged. Thank you for giving us an amazing experience, Nick and team!

I truly had the absolute best experience working with Anomalie Beauty for my wedding this past weekend. Dani and Colette were so helpful throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer my (many!) questions. I knew after my bridal trial that I was in great hands with Kayla (hair) and Amanda (makeup). I also ended up scheduling Amanda to do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner, and I loved the look she gave me! On the wedding day, Kayla and Amanda were professional and also so fun to get ready with.

Jacquee and her team did hair and makeup for myself, two of my bridesmaids, my mom, and MIL for my wedding, and we were all so pleased with the results! As someone who knows nothing about hair and makeup, Jacquee worked with me to find a style that made me feel comfortable and confident on my wedding day. I have naturally curly hair, and Jacquee did an amazing job styling my curls. Everything held up through a 95 degree day, lots of walking, and all night on the dance floor.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

Awarded Best of Zola
One Fine Day was our best wedding decision/purchase of all vendors. Our initial conversation with Gina to discuss which package fit us best went amazing and she was very informative and transparent with what she offers. We were paired with Morgan as our Day of Coordinator and we cannot say enough wonderful things about Morgan and the incredible work she did. From our very first conversation to the final moments of our wedding day, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly, always with grace, professionalism, and genuine care. Morgan was exceptionally organized and detail-oriented, yet also calm, attentive, and consistently one step ahead. She managed vendors, kept our timeline flowing perfectly, and made sure we had time to breathe and truly enjoy each moment. Because of her, we were able to be completely present on our wedding day without a single worry, and that peace of mind is something we will cherish forever. It's so clear that Morgan is passionate about her work, and that passion made a remarkable difference in our experience. We truly could not have asked for a more capable, thoughtful, or caring person to support us on such an important day. We are endlessly grateful to have been matched with Morgan. She helped make our wedding day unforgettable and absolutely perfect. Highly, highly recommend!

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Carpentersville, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

Rev. Phil delivered an unforgettably touching, humorous, and unique ceremony that our guests raved about. When we first found Rev. Phil, we didn't have any specific vision for our ceremony - we assumed that since we were looking for a secular ceremony that it would be bare-boned. But after speaking to Rev. Phil (who was glad to perform a secular ceremony!) and watching the love story videos on his website, we clicked immediately and took the plunge. We did go beyond our original budget, but it was so worth it.

  • Florist

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. 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!

We loved working with Jen at the Local Petaler! Going into the planning process, I didn't have much of a vision for my wedding flowers, but Jen did a wonderful job of guiding me through the process, making recommendations, and answering all of my questions. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond! She's a true artist, and each space of the venue was beautifully done. She even put together little mini bouquets for the guests to take home at the end of the night - a great way to share the love and extend the life of the beautiful centerpieces! Thank you to the Local Petaler for making our wedding so beautiful!

I believe in Good Karma and donate my talents to non-profits and good causes both in the Chicagoland area to countries as far as Kenya, Rwanda and Ukraine. Hi, I'm Louie, Chicago-based wedding photographer with a love for working with fun, creative couples who want their special day captured in an artistic, personal way! I focus on intimate and mid-size celebrations, offering a uniquely personal touch that sets us apart from larger studios. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to capture yours in a style that's fun, creative, and tailored just for you. Let's make your wedding photography as unforgettable as your love story!

From our very first interaction with two-2-tango, we were impressed by their quick, kind, knowledgeable, and professional communication style. They were hardworking, diligent, helpful, and provided tremendous value throughout our wedding day. They helped frame and pose photos in ways I had no idea how to, and they kept the mood happy and jovial the entire time. They were super nice and never stopped working - they were truly a valuable part of making our special day perfect. We couldn't recommend two-2-tango enough!
