“Where to begin! I met Tiffany with Forever Faithful years ago when I was a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding. I remember noting how incredibly kind and helpful Tiffany was. How she went above and beyond what is expected of a photographer to make sure the day ran smoothly and that everything was perfect. So, when I was deciding who to book for my own wedding day, the choice was clear. Tiffany does photography as a work of HEART. While most photographers charge you almost as much as your venue costs, Tiffany does this out of her love for people and for the art. You get access to all of your photos—not a select few—within a few weeks of your event. She bundled our engagement session into our wedding day package, which was amazing. We had the most beautiful photos on the beach for our engagement session, and our sunset photos were perfect. She is SO talented. If your hair is out of place, she fixes it. If you have any ideas, she's open to trying them out. But while her photos are beautiful, her spirit is even more so. My wedding day was so calm, organized, and enjoyable because of her. Thank you, Tiffany, with Forever Faithful. You have and ARE a gift. I hope brides and families book you for years to come. You have a way of capturing love in a photograph, and that is forever priceless.”

“We are SO thankful we met Stephen at a bridal expo back in January; he was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day vision come to life! Having both DJ & photobooth services in one made planning so much easier. His online planning tool was a lifesaver for organizing our music, timeline, and vibe. He stuck to our playlist perfectly and kept the dance floor alive until the last minute! Stephen was also amazing with the photobooth; he allowed us to use our own backdrop, helped customize the design, & even provided a photo guestbook on the day of (which saved us when we accidentally forgot ours!). He also sent all the digital photobooth photos to us right away and our guests LOVED them. On the wedding day, he went above & beyond helping coordinate vendors, handling last-minute changes calmly, & making sure everything ran smoothly.

I had a vision for my wedding day and Kim executed it flawlessly. She not only made the day run smoothly, but set up all of my favors, stationery and even the bud vases she made exactly how I pictured it! We had some fashion emergencies and Kim literally saved the day by sowing on straps to make a dress that wouldn’t zip finally close. I cannot rave about Kim enough!!

“Our wedding at Meyer's Castle was nothing short of magical, and we owe so much of that to our incredible coordinator, Eva.

From day one, Eva was organized, thoughtful, and so genuinely caring. She made sure every detail was in place and that everything ran smoothly--not just behind the scenes, but for me personally as the bride. The day was beautiful, but hot, and Eva went above and beyond to make sure I stayed comfortable and calm. At one point when I was feeling overheated, she literally helped pin my hair up herself. That kind of kindness, grace, and hands-on support is something I'll never forget.

Meyer's Castle was the most stunning backdrop to our big day. The grounds are breathtaking, the atmosphere is so elegant, and our guests were completely blown away by the beauty of it all. Every part of the venue felt like it was straight out of a fairytale--from the ceremony setting to the castle charm that made the whole day feel surreal.

I truly can't imagine having done this without Eva by our side. She was a calm in the chaos, a true professional, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

If you're thinking about booking Meyer's Castle--do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Eva as your coordinator, just know you're in the best hands. I'll be forever grateful for her and this dreamy venue that brought our love story to life.

Thank you, Eva & Meyer's Castle, for a day we'll cherish forever!”

“We planned a wedding for just over 1 year in a different time zone. From our first visit to the venue, we knew this would be the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding coordinator, Lisa, was always accommodating, gave us a very reasonable timeline and clear tasks to perform as well as due dates for payments, etc. We never felt overwhelmed by her requests and she kept us on track every step of the way. The last couple months were obviously more task intensive but due to her vast experience and clear communication we were never in doubt about what she expected from us. Additionally, during the planning process she provided multiple options for decor, venue arrangements, as well as vendor recommendations. We utilized the vendor recommendations for the photographer, florist, and cake, and each one exceeded our expectations. The photographer (Shane Lawrence Photography) was extremely professional and proficient, and produced quality photos (and video) that we will have for a lifetime. The florist (La Petite Fleuriste) created beautiful arrangements for the ceremony, gorgeous bouquets for the bridesmaids and bride, and assisted with center pieces for the reception tables. The cake (Val’s Cakes) was a breathtaking display of baking artistry and tasted incredible! The first time we saw the cake was during our entrance at the reception and we were blown away. Also, multiple guests commented to us about how delicious the cake was, a notable achievement for a wedding cake for one hundred people! The rehearsal itself went very smoothly and after only a couple iterations we left feeling confident the ceremony would be executed well. On the day of the wedding the suites were set up and ready for us including yummy snacks and beverages of our choice (must be purchased through the venue due to liquor laws). It was the perfect area to get ready. The garden was set up beautifully and we barely had to put thought into it! The appetizers at cocktail hour were delicious, the bartender was attentive and efficient throughout the night. We were pleasantly surprised at the dinner (our parents had to attend the tasting for us due to us living across the country). The chicken was moist, steak not overcooked and the sides were delicious! It all paired well together. Normally plated meals can be underwhelming, but the food at Aberdeen was exceptional. The wait staff was attentive, efficient and professional and there were adequate servers for the amount of tables we had. Throughout the entire night we felt supported by our coordinator and the entire staff, but they did not bother us with frivolous questions. Family and friends have been raving for days after the wedding about how nice the whole event was, and how good the food and drinks were. I wish I could replay the night again. I highly recommend Aberdeen Manor for a wedding or other special event.”

“MB Events - Weddings by Eric Jaeger provided outstanding communication and planning for our wedding day. Eric was extremely fast and informative in all of his responses, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable. He demonstrated exceptional care and dedication in getting to know us as a couple and understanding exactly the style of music we envisioned for our ceremony and reception. One special touch was his idea to have us record videos expressing why we were perfect for each other, which he incorporated into a beautiful montage that was played during the reception. It was incredibly meaningful. Eric's personal investment in understanding our love story allowed him to make our wedding feel customized and special. I would highly recommend MB Events to any couple looking for a DJ / Entertainment Service who will dedicate time, care, and creativity to ensure your wedding day reflects your unique love and personality.”

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

“Meg and her second photographer were so wonderful to have on our wedding day. I’m almost a year late with this review, but better late than never. Speaking of which, Meg was right on time, even though it was a really long drive to Peoria from Indiana, and I appreciated that so much! She made our special day so much greater than it would have been without her. I look at the photos she took at least once a week and shed a few tears at the beauty of it! I was originally drawn to her shooting and editing style and she captured the rustic and warm vibes of our wedding perfectly! She’s so friendly and kind, and as long as I’m in Illinois, I would definitely book her for any more of my photography needs!”

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

“Working with La Petite Fleuriste made our wedding day flawless. Lori was so easy to work with from start to finish—she answered our questions right away and gave us helpful advice whenever we needed it. She nailed our color scheme and brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded what we imagined. What really set her apart was that she handled both setup and delivery, which took so much stress off our plate on the big day. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and professional looking in every single shot. We'd recommend La Petite Fleuriste to any couple looking for a florist who truly cares about making their day special.”

“Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.”
