Rios Mios Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Effingham, IL

I love creating a fun, professional, and most importantly unique atmosphere for my clients. Collaborating with people is truly my passion, and when that collaboration entails music, entertainment, and positivity I am at my best! From live music for your ceremony to country or EDM themed receptions. We come together with you to create a wedding that feels like "yours"

Out of the 100 DJs I’ve worked with over the years, Derek is truly in a class of his own. He’s the most professional, detail-oriented, and downright fun “make-you-want-to-dance-all-night” DJ I’ve ever met. He takes the time to really get to know each couple and goes above and beyond to ensure their reception timeline runs seamlessly. Whenever we coordinate an event together, I like to joke that I can just sit back and relax—because I know Derek is on top of everything. What sets him apart is that he doesn’t just stay behind the booth; he’s out on the dance floor doing line dances with your guests, belting out Taylor Swift, and getting the crowd hyped up. I can’t recommend him enough. If you book with Rios Mios, you won’t just get an incredible DJ—you’ll leave your wedding day with a new friend.

I also offer cupcakes, mini cupcakes, iced sugar cookies, groom's cakes, mini brownies and individual cheesecakes. Contact me today to discuss what you envision to see made on your special day.

Baker's Cakes was a fantastic choice for our wedding desserts.

She was always trying her best to provide top-quality work, and it showed in the final products. On the day of the wedding, Baker's Cakes delivered the beautiful wedding cake and delicious cheesecakes to the venue, taking care of all the details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We were thrilled with the quality, taste, and presentation of the desserts, and our guests raved about them all night long. We highly recommend Baker's Cakes for any couple planning their wedding.

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

We used Something Borrowed Blooms for our night before party/Sri Lankan ceremony and I couldn't be more happy. The set-up, breakdown, and return was easy enough and our guests had no idea the flowers were artificial! We were able to save money but still had stunning flowers for the ceremony and reception. I'll now always recommend SBB, especially for brides who are trying to stay in-budget and still want to have full-service florals.

We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Effingham, IL

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I used the Full Monty package for my wedding. Flowers were something I wasn’t looking to spend 10-12k on. Through my calls with the flower moxie team they clearly and efficiently helped me stay within budget and provide my dream florals. I began my arrangements on Friday and transported them 1 and a half hours away and had very very minimal flower loss. My bridesmaids and I made our bouquets the night before and what a beautiful memory. I would recommend flower moxie for anyone looking for a fun diy, beautiful flowers, and budget friendly items.

Victoria exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment she arrived, she brought an incredible energy that immediately put us at ease. She has an amazing eye for detail and was constantly adjusting my dress, veil, and our positioning to make sure every image would be as beautiful as possible. What impressed me most was how invested she was in capturing every moment perfectly. She was thoughtful, encouraging, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. Beyond being incredibly talented, she's simply a joy to spend the day with—bubbly, kind, professional, and genuinely excited for her couples. We haven't even received our full gallery yet, and I already know we'll treasure these photos forever. I would recommend Victoria without hesitation and will absolutely be calling her again for future milestones.

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

Jovan made my dreams happen for my wedding. She understood exactly the vibe I wanted for the environment and for the pictures and took pride in curating that. She felt like more than photographer on my wedding day with the great attention to detail and dedication to protecting my peace, She felt like a friend. She picked up very well on social situations that shifted and pivoted when others weren't being as flexible. She was very swift on the turn around for the preview gallery and communicated any hiccups She had along the way until the full gallery was available. I would and will choose her again for any family and life event photos, hope she enjoyed shooting for us because it wont be the last shes seen of me. To say the least she played a massive role in making my wedding day memorable.
