Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Lauren on a wedding in Colorado a few years ago and I know the bride LOVED working directly with her. The bride didn't have to worry about a thing the day of which was extremely helpful since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from out of state. Lauren was friendly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and ultimately a pleasure to work with. I am a photographer and spend the entire day with the wedding couple and it was so great to see the bride not have to worry about a thing the day of because she knew Lauren had it handled already. I have also attended a styled wedding photoshoot that Lauren and Mercedes hosted this year and that was also amazing! I was blown away by the details and overall theme to it and it made for some fantastic photos to add to my portfolio. Whenever I see a wedding couple looking for a planner or day or coordinator, I always recommend Elizabeth Bliss Events!

Maggie and her team were quick to respond to our emails, always providing effective and helpful guidance. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly exceptional - they went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. One of our favorite memories was when Maggie coordinated with our DJ to play my favorite song, "Ordinary" by Alex Warren, during our private vows, which was a last minute pivot. She was also instrumental in keeping the ceremony running smoothly while we took photos, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. BlackBird Events made our wedding day fun, seamless, and an unforgettable celebration of our love. We can't recommend them highly enough!

David Schulte’s music career began in 2014 when he began working for a popular “Top 40” radio station in his hometown of Cedar Rapids. He worked his way from an entry-level position to producing the #1 morning show in the market. Throughout this process, he acquired excellent communication skills and emcee experience. You may also hear him as the voice of Cedar Rapids Kernels during home games at Veterans Memorial Stadium! ​

We hired David as our DJ for our wedding this past August and he did not disappoint! We were told DJs can make or break a reception but David turned it into something better than we could have imagined. Not only was David our MC but he kept the dance floor going for 3 hours. He did a great job of reading the room to understand the vibe and knew the best time to transition from genre to genre. We would highly recommend Schulte Sounds for anyone getting married in the Cedar Rapids area!

We sincerely believe in having a good connection with you. When you book with us, you are more than clients, you quickly become part of our company, our friends. You may be wondering, who the heck we are. We are wildly in love and a little weird (aren’t we all?). We love a good adventure (backpacking, kayaking, city hoppin’, you name it), and while we know things don’t always go according to plan, we know we are guaranteed an entertaining story outta it (just ask Bill, he LOVES to share stories of our perfectly imperfect travels).

We had the best experience working with Erin from Thomas Co Photography. From our first conversation, she was clear and friendly about everything, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, Erin did more than just take pictures—she helped us slow down and actually enjoy the quiet moments we might have missed otherwise. Her eye for detail really shines through in our photos, which capture such genuine emotion and feel so natural. It's obvious she truly cares about her clients and their stories. We're so grateful to have found her and can't recommend Erin highly enough!
