We had the most incredible wedding at Bay Pointe Woods in May 2024, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful natural surroundings, serene atmosphere, and perfectly maintained grounds. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making our special day feel effortless and stress-free. From the moment we booked, we felt completely supported. The team at Bay Pointe Woods was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfect the setting was. The reception area was equally impressive, providing the perfect backdrop for a fun and elegant evening. We loved that everything was seamlessly coordinated, and the flow of the day was smooth from start to finish.

I couldn’t say it enough, hiring White Aster Planning for my day of coordinating was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Amy was so helpful in organizing all of my thoughts in the weeks leading up to the big day, she calmed all of the anxiety I had about planning. She did an Amazing job wrangling everyone and making sure we all knew what to do during the rehearsal. And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect. And she definitely took my vision and brought it to life. We kept hearing from our friends and family the same 3 rave reviews, the food was delicious, the venue was magical, and Amy was Amazing. I highly recommend reaching out to White Aster Planning if you are considering having a wedding coordinator. You won’t regret it!

5/5 — Absolutely Exceptional We had the absolute joy of working with Rikilee from Get Lucky Photography for our August 31 wedding, and we could not be more grateful for the magic she created. From start to finish, truly, from the entire wedding weekend. She and her second shooter captured every moment with an eye for beauty, emotion, and authenticity that is rare to find. Our ceremony took place in a greenhouse on a friend’s farm, and somehow Rikilee managed to translate the atmosphere exactly as it felt: warm, intimate, a little whimsical, and totally us. She intuitively understood how to use the natural light, the greenery, and the environment to make every photo feel alive. The images she delivered are more than photographs…they’re memories we can feel when we look at them. Beyond her artistry, what really stood out was her presence. She was calm, confident, kind, and organized. She gave direction when we needed it, blended seamlessly into the background when moments were unfolding naturally, and made everyone, from bridal party to family to guests, feel comfortable and cared for. It was like having an extra friend there who just happened to be documenting everything perfectly. Her second shooter was equally incredible, capturing angles and candid moments we never would’ve seen otherwise. Together, they didn’t miss a single detail. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in telling the story of your day, book Get Lucky Photography. We are forever grateful for the images we now have. Timeless, vibrant, emotional, and truly reflective of who we are and the love we celebrated. We would choose Rikilee again a thousand times over. — Devon & Yvonne

I got married here in August and it was the most incredible day. The end of summer is when the garden is in full bloom which makes having an outside ceremony ethereal. When we toured the venue, I knew immediately it was where I would marry my husband. I've never seen a venue so unique and beautiful. I adored the getting ready spaces, the ceremony arch, the chandelier in the reception, and the vintage cohesion of the entire venue. The separate bar/dancing room and reception/dinner space is genius, especially if you plan on having guests that aren't interested in dancing but want a comfortable area to converse. It rained during our reception but it made it all the more special to be safe inside celebrating while it stormed outside. We worked with Liv who went above and beyond for us. I am sad to not have another opportunity to work with her again! She was so helpful and accommodating during our tour and rehearsal, and made sure everything ran smoothly during the ceremony, AND she came back when we accidentally blew a breaker. Overall, I highly recommend choosing Sundance and the Secret Garden to have your wedding, as well as one of their sister venues if you prefer a different setting. I enjoyed working with Amelia and Kirby, who were helpful and quick with their communication. It's a true testament to their artistry experiencing the heart and soul poured into these incredible venues during the most special day of our lives. I will reminisce on every moment forever.

We knew we wanted our wedding to be full of dancing, so our DJ was one of the first vendors we booked. We hit the absolute JACKPOT with Luxx and DJ Mike. Mike kept the party going and the only time our guests were leaving the dance floor was to grab another drink. Even our friends and family who don't dance were out on the dance floor tearing it up thanks to Mike. He did a great job mixing songs and keeping the energy high. We had so many guests tell us after the wedding it was the best music and dance floor of any wedding they'd been to. Mike was incredibly professional and easy to work with and we can't recommend him and Luxx Entertainment enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in November 2025 using Classic Catering & Events for dinner, desserts, and our wedding cake, as well as having their sister company Once Upon a Bloom for our florist. Heather covered both areas stunningly well. For dinner we did the chopped steak, grilled chicken, green beans, salad, and Mac and cheese all in buffet style. Everything came out great, cooked to perfection. The chopped steak was especially tasty and a favorite with both me (the bride) and guests! And the fact that it came with a water, lemonade, and sweet tea stand was so nice for our guests who didn’t drink alcohol or for those who did drink, and needed to stay hydrated. For dessert we did an arrangement of small goodies including the cake shooters, and it also came out amazing. The cake shooters were my favorite of all the desserts, we even got to pick a variety of different cake flavors! And CC&E arranged everything to be picture perfect on the tables, bringing their own food stands which was a huge help to me. The cake was a simple but elegant two tier chocolate cake with white frosting. It also came out tasting great. It was affordable, which I appreciated, allowing us the ability to choose the traditional tiered cake over boring sheet cake but remain within our budget. With the floral arrangements, Heather went above and beyond. As a bride who knows very little about flowers, I did not give Heather much to go on when creating our bouquets and floral arrangements. And yet she took the pictures of me and my bridesmaids’ dresses, the wedding colors and themes, and the wedding Pinterest I had made, and was able to create incredible bouquets and arrangements, while also being aware of our budget! I was speechless seeing the bouquets and got so many compliments. The most impressive thing about this is the fact that Heather did all this work while only being able to email with me due to the fact that I live in a different state than AL and travel for work quite often. Even with an 8 hour time difference (for a month leading up to the wedding due to my work trip) her communication with me was effective and timely. Heather’s dedication and expertise is one reason why my wedding was so stress free! I highly, highly recommend Heather’s two companies Classic Catering & Events and Once Upon a Bloom to any bride in the Alabama area.

I’m Brittany, a laid-back, candid and colorful photographer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I love working with ALL couples, but especially have a soft spot for non-traditional weddings. My gays, weirdos, ADHDers, D&D players- I'm your girl. Let's connect over our shared passions or fandoms- I'm a lover of all things spooky, Halloween, books, cats, oat milk lattes, Star Wars, and continuing education courses.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot more highly recommend Brittany and her team! I first worked with her when my friends and I hired her to for a surprise photo shoot for a friend's bachelorette. We had the best time walking around Three Oaks, MI, taking photos in front of cute buildings and murals, in a public community garden, on the steps of our rental house with a giant Batman balloon, and more. Brittany had tunes playing the whole time to keep an upbeat tone, and the photos were ones that captured the joy and meaning of lifelong friendships. My experience with her was so positive that when it was then time to find a photographer for my own wedding, she was my top choice. I was delighted to find out that even though she's based in Western, MI, she also does weddings in Chicagoland. We shared with her that our top priorities were taking pictures with our families, taking pictures as a couple in a way where we could just kind of walk around and interact with the environment and see what inspires us, and capturing the ceremony and reception. Brittany and her second photographer Liv more than delivered on our requests. Our photo shoot with our families was incredibly fun! We walked to a nearby park, got our pre-planned pictures, and then were able to get some really precious candid pictures of my nephew, brother, and his wife going down the playground slide. We also got some incredibly cute pictures of my baby niece, sister, and brother-in-law. I'm not including the family pics here since they're pics with kids, but just know that they are amazing! Brittany and Liv did such a good job making funny noises to get our niece and nephew to laugh, and as a result, put the rest of us at ease as well. Taking pictures as a couple was also really fun! I am not someone who naturally feels comfortable getting my photo taken, but I just had the best time! They made it a laid-back, and creative experience, where we could all kind of have ideas and try them out. At one point I was like "I like this lamp post, can we get a picture with it?" and they were like "yes!" My husband was also having a lot of pre-wedding jitters, and Liv was somehow magically able to put him at ease. A thing I didn't really think about before the wedding is that taking couples pictures is some of the only "alone" time you get on your wedding day. Brittany and Liv made this time really special, bringing positive energy, affirmation, and creativity, while creating space for us to treasure our time together as a couple. Finally, they did an incredible job capturing the ceremony and reception. I can't even really put into words what they managed to do. They captured the small details- the facial expressions, the moments where everyone's laughing because of an intentional joke or an unintentional but charming mess up. They captured us as a couple, but also the community we were lucky enough to gather around us. There's something intangible about the magic you create at a wedding, that they somehow bottled it up and got it into these photos, which we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

My new husband and I were thrilled with our experience at Ivy House Venue! Our coordinator Chloe was absolutely amazing and was there every step of the way keeping us on track. The getting ready suites, venue, and reception spaces were beautiful. Chloe made sure we had food, drink, and ample time to get ready and take photos. She contributed so much to making our wedding day perfect - she made sure everything flowed smoothly so we could relax and enjoy our special moments. I would highly recommend Ivy House to any engaged couple. Chloe and the entire team provide excellent communication and ensure all details are covered so you can have the wedding of your dreams!

I specialize in weddings, elopements, seniors and family sessions- but what I really love is capturing real connection. The laughs, the quiet in between moments, the way you look at each other when no one else is paying attention. When I'm not behind the camera, you can probably find me with a coffee in hand and my Blue Heeler dog nearby (He thinks he run the business, honestly) If you are looking for someone who will keep things easy, fun and natural- you are in the right place.

Kimberly was truly the best photographer we could have asked for! She was always responsive and truly was able to bring our vision to life. She went above and beyond and we will always be grateful that she captured our engagement photos and wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone who asks!

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. the comfort of my bridal party was my top priority so finding out that alder hair studios was LGBTQ friendly and had an eye for making you look beautiful was the best feeling in the world. multiple members of my bridal party couldnt say enough about how much they loved getting dolled up by KayLeigh and Corena. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!
