Ace Wedding DJs 

4.9

  • DJ
  • Serves Carson City, MI

Owner Avery Echols began his DJ career almost by accident. His entry into the business began with managing music for a friend’s reception. At this point, Ace Wedding DJs was born. As Avery’s business grew, he brought in his brother Wes and best friend Landon Bell. Together, this talented trio works hard to bring the dreams of soon-to-be newlyweds to life. In addition to fueling the dance-floor and and crafting ambiance through music, the DJs also serve as MCs with natural ease and charisma. They ensure that introductions, announcements, and transitions run smoothly.

My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

My name is Erica Cooke and I'm your everyday neighbor and friend. I live in Grandville, MI with my husband, our 2 boys (ages 18 and 19) and our 17 chickens. I love to travel, enjoy the outdoors, get tattoos and garden. I love my family... Like LOVE my family. I'm often babysitting nieces or nephews and never miss an opportunity to hang out with my 4 younger siblings and their families. I'm pretty laid back and can adapt to most any situation. This helps me be the best version of myself for you. I love LOVE. I am very inclusive and affirming of all relationships. Thank you for considering me as part of your very special day!

Erica was absolutely phenomenal — from our very first call to the moment we said goodbye on our wedding day, she brought a glowing, joyful presence that we felt deeply and that truly shined throughout our entire ceremony. She crafted our ceremony with so much passion, care, and heart. Every word felt intentional, personal, and true to who we are as a couple. Erica really took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every detail. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how meaningful and beautifully delivered the ceremony was. Not only is she a gifted writer and speaker, but she’s also wonderfully organized and professional. Even when we threw her a few last-minute requests, she adapted with ease and grace, keeping everything smooth and stress-free. Erica, thank you for setting the tone for our day in such a beautiful way. You brought the energy, love, and authenticity we hoped for and more — we’re so grateful you were part of our wedding.

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We started our relationship with Lauren in the fall of 2023 as we planned our destination wedding for May 2024. From the beginning Lauren was communicative, kind and excited. We were able to connect with Lauren for an engagement shoot in Ann Arbor and received our photos so quickly we were able to use them to build our website and invites. Additionally, I gifted my husband a boudoir photo album on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful to work with. Needless to say, by the time we traveled for our wedding we were so comfortable it was like having a close friend do our shoot. Now we have our walls decorated with the most beautiful photos as we approach our first anniversary. We would recommend working with Lauren to anyone

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was almost two weeks ago and I have nothing but love for and positive things to say about Kristen! I am so so grateful that I stumbled upon her here on Zola because without her I would have forgotten so many little details and been incredibly overwhelmed. Kristen made our planning and the day of the wedding so easy and wonderful; legitimately stress-free. Kristen is so kind, caring, communicative, and just overall great at what she does. Throughout planning, she kept in close contact with me and other vendors - everyone was always in the loop and knew exactly what was going on at all times. I had a bit of a decor dilemma and she was super patient with me while I kept going back and forth on my final decision, which I really appreciated. Over this whole process I felt like I had a wonderful supportive friend in my corner, not just a hired planner. I could give a million more examples of how she's been so great, but honestly all I can really say is this: please, if you are looking for a planner that is completely there for you and cares about you and your vision, Kristen is your person! She is willing to work with you in so many different ways and can tailor to what you need/want out of planning. I 100% recommend Amethyst x Emerald and I really couldn't imagine having anyone else there to help us leading up to and on our day!

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Working with All Things Considered was the best choice my husband and I made for our wedding day! What sets Rachelle apart is the way she genuinely cares about her couples. When you're spending so much time with someone over the course of a year planning, it's comforting to know the person so involved in the the details of wedding sees you not just as a bride but a person. From our first meeting with Rachelle she made us feel at ease, loved, and supported. Every single idea or logistic we came to Rachelle with, she immediately had an idea or plan of how to bring it to life. She asked us questions about details my husband and I would have never thought to consider, and even went as far as putting together a backup list of places to take wedding photos indoors when the forecast was looking like rain. Rachelle has an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience planning events and also provided great vendor recommendations. We are so grateful for Rachelle and Stacy making our wedding day the best day of our lives and would go back and choose All Things Considered over again and again!

We were so impressed with William and his professionalism, attentiveness, and quick responses throughout the planning process. He is an incredibly talented musician who exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day feel truly special. At the last minute, we noticed we had the wrong microphone extension, but William went above and beyond by letting us use their own speaker to ensure everything ran smoothly.

I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Mae was so easy to work with, and gave us lots of direction for posing. We are kinda awkward in front of a camera, but it was easy to relax with her guidance - she nailed the photos I wanted the most as prints for the house!
