Sherri did the flowers for our wedding & they turned out beautifully! Sherri was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She really took the time to understand our vision to know exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She was creative in repurposing the ceremony flowers into a gorgeous piece for the sweetheart table in order to stay in budget, but still ensure I had everything I wanted. She went above & beyond, attending both the table scape meeting as well as the venue walkthrough. I would work with her again & again, I can’t recommend Belle Epoque Floristry enough!

From the very beginning, Annie was just as excited for our special day as we were, and her enthusiasm and support for our DIY work meant so much to us. She really took the time to understand our vision and helped us make it a reality. Annie delivered the most stunning bouquets and personal flowers that perfectly matched the vibe we wanted.

We love adventures and I love a delicious plate of nachos… snickers and a fizzy water I AM SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND HOW I DO IT… I have always had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember… I mean even one of my daughter is named after a camera and the other is named after light..

Marissa was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her confident yet respectful communication style put us at ease through the entire process. She was thoughtful and organized in preparing for our big day, while also remaining flexible to last minute changes. Marissa's work is thorough and captures the essence of special moments with care. She helped guide my husband and I, not the most photogenic couple, into poses that felt natural. Additionally, Marissa was essential to the flow of our wedding by adding positivity and organization to what could have been chaos. She did a fantastic job ensuring beautiful photos while keeping things moving smoothly. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough for her professionalism and quality of work.

Emma was incredibly helpful on and before our wedding day. I was deep into wedding planning and handled most of it myself when I realized I was simply going to need help with set ups during ceremony/cocktail hour/reception (A time where none of us could be in two places at once!) Emma created a custom package that fit our specific needs and it was perfect! Aside from that she was so kind, professional, and attentive even in a few meetings we had with the venue before the day. If I could do wedding planning over knowing what I know now, I would've found her sooner to include her expertise even more in our planning / day! Thank you Emma!

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

As a fellow vendor, I have worked with Rachel and her team on several weddings and events. It is always a joy to work alongside her. I can put my full confidence in her to capture all of the details of that day, big and small, that the bride, groom and their families have spent months to plan and design. It is not common to see your photographer crouching down or scaling up to get that perfect perspective but Rachel does! She calmly and professionally helps to manage the bridal party and family during photo sessions. Rachel uses professional, engaging prompts to help get people in just the right mood and position to capture the moment. After each event I wait eagerly for her to deliver the galleries because looking through the hundreds of photos is like experiencing the joy of the day all over again! Rachel's style of curating and capturing the moment for her clients is exquisite and timeless. Just look through her galleries - You can feel the emotion of the moment and wish you could be right there, too! If you're looking for a photographer who has a modern yet timeless style and is professional, timely and fun to work with you've found the best fit for you.

Hi, friend! I’m Devin, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lombard, Illinois. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Milwaukee, Rockford, and I’m always up for an adventure. I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

My husband and I hired Devin for our 2021 wedding....after it had been postponed due to COVID - it was a stressful time! The absolute silver lining is that Devin was SUCH a good fit for our vibe: she put us at ease and took photos that were vibrant and fun (rather than tender and serious). She got to know us and photographed us "as we wanted to be seen." The other component of this is that when we received our wedding (and engagement) photos, they were all excellent. I am CERTAIN that Devin had to cull through a bunch of awkward shots....but the ones she sent made me feel super attractive always. Excellent judgement on her part! Reviewing our wedding photos let us relive the day - it captured not only the visuals but the *feel* of the day. Since then, I've also hired Devin to shoot musician headshots for me, with the same experience. I would hire her again with enthusiasm!

We can’t thank Fishermen's Inn enough for going above and beyond for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone was professional, kind, helpful, and excited right along with us. We looked forward to every meeting, and having Erin at the helm of the event gave me so much comfort. Patti, has done an incredible job of building something beautiful, and we appreciate all of the care she has put into her business - it shows! On our wedding day, from the moment I walked into the space, I felt like royalty. Erin did a great job of running the show, and Tara gets a special award for sprinting back up to the bridal suite when I forgot my bouquet for the ceremony! Everyone commented on how good the food was and made a point to mention how incredible the staff & service was throughout the whole night. Jon is incredible at what he does managing the bar. He helped wrap everything up at the end of the evening, helped coordinate space for our last dance together, helped us pack up, and saw us off at the end of the night. Our only sadness is that we don’t get to do it again! Now we need to try to snag an invite to a Fishermen’s Inn wedding so we can go back for a visit!

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, Zachera was the best decision when it came to our wedding planning! The attention to detail that she & her team had on our wedding day reflected in every photo taken. Looking back at the photos makes our hearts swell; they are breathtaking. In the photos, there were so many intimate moments, so much genuine laughter & so much serenity captured. Beyond the photos, our wedding would have not gone so perfectly if we didn't have Zachera & her team! Zachera had every detail of our timeline down & did everything in her power to keep us on track. With our bi-cultural wedding having so many moving parts, that was not an easy task but she executed it in the politest/smoothest way possible. She is the most personable yet most professional person to work with, which is so important in a photographer because they are side by side with you throughout the whole day. We believe that couples should have a connection with their photographer; with Zachera, it's like she read our minds & never missed a beat. She made us feel confident throughout the whole day and left no room for us to panic. She really goes above and beyond for her couples- to the point that she even picked us up Gatorade on the wedding day when it was getting too hot out for us. That wasn't a one time thing or out of character for her; she checked in throughout the whole time leading up to the wedding, encouraging and supporting us in every way. Forever grateful for her presence, the passion she has for her art and her kindness.

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

My husband and I had our wedding at Country Coach House last month and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Karen and Bruce were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Communication was quick and reliable, and they were always friendly and attentive to our needs. The venue itself is big, beautiful, and spacious - perfect for hosting our guest list. Karen and Bruce were there on the big day handling all the logistics and helping everything run smoothly. They were extremely helpful making sure my husband and I could just focus on enjoying ourselves.

I cannot recommend Lytle more! They were so patient, organized and communicative during our entire year leading up to our wedding day. If you're looking for a small to medium sized wedding space that's intimate and beautiful this is the place! It's decorated enough to stand on it's own, but open and spacious enough to add your own decor elements to it.

We consistently go above & beyond to ensure that every event is nothing short of amazing. You are not just a number to us. We are honored to be a trusted part of the most important celebration of your life!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Highland Preferred for my wedding, and I can honestly say they transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and attention to detail put my mind at ease. It's clear that they know how to create incredible memories, whether it’s for personal celebrations or corporate events. We opted for a DJ and live band combo, and from the moment our guests heard the first notes, the dance floor was packed! The DJ effortlessly mixed genres, catering to all ages, while the band brought that lively energy that really got everyone involved. Our LED dance floor was a showstopper, literally sparkling under the lights as our friends danced the night away. The various photo booths offered by Highland Preferred were an absolute hit! Each booth had its own unique props and backgrounds, allowing our guests to capture fun memories throughout the evening. And I can’t say enough about the photography and videography services—the team was unobtrusive while perfectly capturing every moment. Just a few days after the event, we were delighted to receive a sneak peek at some of the photos—they were simply stunning! Moreover, their up lighting and decor services added an elegant touch to our venue. They truly transformed the space into a fairy tale setting that we had only dreamed about. Everything was reasonably priced, especially given the level of service provided. I genuinely felt like we got so much value for our investment. If you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or any type of event, I can’t recommend Highland Preferred enough. They take the stress out of party planning and deliver results that exceed expectations. Thank you for making our celebration the talk of the town!

Choose us for an exceptional, stress-free, and stunning wedding celebration.

Graceful Weddings And Events Llc. was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style was super responsive, and the quality of their work was truly professional, valuable, honest, and transparent. Traci and her team were amazing - they put everything together seamlessly and saved our wedding day. When my wife's maid of honor accidentally left the wedding veil at the hotel, Traci's assistant sprang into action, getting an Uber and rushing the veil to the church, delaying the ceremony by only 11 minutes. Traci knew my wife couldn't walk down the aisle without it, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She's not just a wedding planner, she's a true professional who gets things done. I can't recommend Graceful Weddings And Events highly enough. I cannot tell you enough how amazing Traci was throughout the entire process. She was there every time we needed her. Absolutely no restrictions on phone calls, meetings messages, whether in person or not. She actually truly cares about her clients and does not make commission off of any venues or vendors in fact, quite the opposite, she is a master at negotiation and that’s how you can tell that she’s in this Because it’s her passion. She goes way above and beyond for all of her clients and I could tell by working with her throughout the process for the entire year along that we worked with Traci. To be honest we actually miss her because she was solving not only wedding problems, but other issues as well Put it this way Traci will make sure that you have exactly what you want but she will go and take it 10 steps further! I would recommend her to anyone I know having any type of event!
