My wife and I got married two weeks ago at an outside venue and found out a week before that the venue wouldn't have enough bathrooms for our 180 guests (long story). We reached out to LRS on here and were instantly connected with a rep who got our order squared away on the phone and followed through with prompt delivery of the nice bathroom units we ordered. They were clean, well-lit, and we didn't hear of any issues throughout the wedding night. 10/10 experience. Thank you!

So I usually don’t write reviews but I had to for this because my experience very easy and pleasant. I wasn’t left to plan my own wedding. The wedding planners here were very attentive and they basically helped me plan my wedding. Think of it like we planned my wedding together. The price was perfect too cause wedding planners are expensive. They even hooked me up with transportation and flowers for my wedding.

I take great pride- and an immense amount of pleasure- in working with brides. Imagine being able to redo your own wedding time and time and time again- I treat each client’s event the way I would take care of my own. I own the initiative down to the smallest detail. If it’s not good enough for me it certainly isn’t good enough for you! Every couple deserves to see their vision brought to life in the best way possible, and have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the night. I love being able to bring you over the finish line strong and leave you with lasting memories!

I felt my head spinning the weeks leading up to the wedding. Luckily Jessica remained so calm and collected the entire time. She was reassuring, and followed up multiple times just to check in. She had a natural touch for decor that made my wedding visions come true. She was vocal when necessary (I can sometimes be looked over when trying to give instructions - but Jessica did the work for me). I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator because of our tight budget but I was advised more often than not that a DOC is NECESSARY. I'm so glad we went ahead with one because I felt like I relaxed the whole day thanks to Jessica. She was a boss, incredibly professional, and yet still so friendly.

  • Serves Essex, IL

Established in 2009, Elevated Events actually began as a company called MWES Weddings. After a decade in the wedding industry and a global pandemic giving us some time on our hands, we formally rebranded into the company you see today. As you grow and learn, it is only natural to develop a better sense of who you are as a company and that's just what happened to us. With that, we are so proud to introduce you to elevated events!

Elevated Events did a fabulous job decorating our reception and running our photo booth! Kourtney, the client relations manager, was attentive and answered all of my questions. We got uplighting throughout the reception space to keep the vibes intimate with soft lighting. It was perfect since our venue mainly had windows along the perimeter. Kourtney offered several options to customize our photo booth and our guests loved that they got several copies. We ended up getting a boxwood wall through them and they hung up our neon sign with our last name. My husband and I adored looking through the photo booth scrapbook, which doubled as our guest book. We greatly appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail.

Their communication style was very responsive and organized throughout the planning process, which we greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding preparations. The cupcakes they created for our big day were simply delicious and a true crowd favorite amongst our guests - we heard raving reviews from multiple people about how tasty they were! We had three flavors (red velvet, chocolate, and peach cobbler) and they all turned out incredibly moist and flavorful. Molly's also handled the delivery and set-up with total ease. Overall, we were thrilled that we chose Molly's to provide the cupcakes for our wedding - their team was a dream to work with and their products brought so much joy to our guests.

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 did a wonderful job for our wedding. She made the entire experience easy, stress free, and fun! Her love and excitement for photography was so obvious. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed in the results.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m here to help make it UNFORGETTABLE! I specialize in personalized ceremonies that reflect who you are as a couple—whether lighthearted and fun or deeply heartfelt. Serving couples across Chicagoland, I’m passionate about making your ceremony the highlight of your big day—for you and your guests. I have over 30 years of experience as an ordained minister, and have married 1,200+ awesome couples. I LOVE helping couples start their marriage with love, joy, and a ceremony they will never forget. Let’s create a ceremony your guests won’t stop talking about!

Our experience with Rev. Dave was honestly a hit from the beginning! His personality is magnetic and you can tell he puts love and intention into the wedding ceremonies that he is a part of. He has different content up his sleeve (you’ll see when you book with him) to truly give you an unforgettable ceremony. Our guests could NOT stop raving about him and all of our guests thought that we had YEARS of personal family connections with him, when in reality we only had a 3-4 planning sessions. One of our close family friends even told my dad that our ceremony was the best ceremony he had ever seen and his daughter just got married (sorry girl!). All i can say is this: when you receive his pricing, DO NOT SKIMP. My (now) husband and i paid for this wedding ourselves, and i do admit that we went with the middle package because of our own hectic schedules and finances, but Rev Dave is WORTH IT ALL. You are (hopefully) only getting married one time, and one of THE best decisions you could make is hiring Rev. Dave!
