We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up. Jeff was very easy to work with, incredibly personable, and willing to play whatever we wanted to hear. We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding.

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.

Carlos and his wife make such a great team and that’s honestly an understatement. They really know how to bring and KEEP the energy at any kind of event. For our wedding, there weren't any guests that did not complement our wedding on being one of the best they’ve been at because of the atmosphere that was created around the dance floor. You’d look around and everyone was either on or off getting a quick drink to wait for the next song. The chairs were EMPTY & forgotten about after dinner! We honestly cannot say enough about Carlos and his wife. They not only made our day one of a kind but they even made sure the planning process was smooth. Truly no vendor made us feel so supported like they did. Carlos always made sure we were up to date with not only the music but everything else and always offered to help. And let’s not forget the party favors! Such a fun touch to bring life to the party. As a couple who wanted everything to be “perfect”, Carlos and his wife truly made that happen and we are forever grateful to have found such an amazing team for our special day.

From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Phil Landers. From the start, he was professional, warm, and incredibly thorough. His planning process was smooth and efficient, and it was obvious why all his reviews were so outstanding—he lives up to every word of praise and then some. What truly sets Phil apart is the personal touch he brings. He didn’t just perform a ceremony; he told our story in a way that made everyone laugh, cry, and feel connected. And then—he did something no one expected. Phil included a one-of-a-kind element in the ceremony that none of our guests had ever seen before. It was creative, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. People are still talking about it, and honestly, so are we. He has a gift for making the ceremony feel intimate and meaningful, without ever being overly formal or generic. It felt like us—which is exactly what we hoped for. Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. He exceeded every expectation and gave us a ceremony we will never forget. If you're looking for an officiant who brings something truly special to the table, Phil Landers is the one.

Gina was an absolute dream to work with! We hired her for 60 days out and wedding day and she was so on top of it! We knew going into wedding planning that we would want a wedding coordinator and we were so lucky and grateful to have found One Fine Day and luckily Gina was available our day too! We also had Gina help design/print the place cards and they were perfect and just what we needed! Any advice I give to couples is to hire a wedding coordinator and we will be referring people to Gina’s team as well to make their dreams come true!

The Local Petaler 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Serves Carpentersvle, IL

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!

Jen made our wedding more beautiful than we had ever imagined. She gave us a good feeling from the start because of how passionate she is about her business. She was very communicative and upfront with us about costs (no surprise fees) as well as with what was doable or not in our price range. We never got the feeling that she was trying to upsell us on anything which was a huge relief because that can happen often in the industry. She listened to what we were envisioning and gave her input in a constructive manner (some of our favorite parts of the florals were Jen's ideas), and she also was honest with telling us if something was outdated or wouldn't fit with our aesthetic which we appreciated because we aren't experts on florals! She gave us the great idea to repurpose the bridesmaid bouquets for the reception centerpieces, which was the best decision we made because it was more practical and friendly for our budget. Overall, if you're looking for a small business owner to brighten your day, look no further than Jen because she will put her all into making your wedding or event beautiful.

F.A.C.E beauty by Michelle Swoons was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. Michelle's communication style was clear, compassionate, and collaborative - she truly listened to my needs and provided personalized guidance every step of the way. The quality of her work was nothing short of masterful, as she skillfully applied a tinted moisturizer that left my skin looking flawless and perfectly complemented my features. Michelle also dressed professionally, yet with a stylish flair that fit seamlessly into the aesthetic of my wedding day. Beyond her exceptional talents, Michelle became an instant friend - I'm incredibly grateful to have had her as part of my special day.

Naperville Florist did an amazing and beautiful job with my dream wedding florals. They went above and beyond in making sure that their florals added a touch that absolutely completed my vision! I worked with Alex, who was very easy to talk to and extremely accommodating. Upon inquiring for their services, I was able to provide so many details and pictures of what I wanted for my wedding. They always set up time to speak based on my availability, which was extremely appreciated while I was planning everything else. I had no issues in explaining what I envisioned, and they executed so wonderfully. The delivery of the floral to two different locations was also smooth and efficient. Many of my guests wanted to bring our wedding florals home with them, and complimented how lovely they looked the entire night. I definitely recommend them for any floral needs!
