“We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!”

“Scenting my clients’ weddings has been a total game changer! The fragrance is never overpowering and quickly masks any lingering venue odors (like food, old carpets, or dated furniture). I even used it for outdoor weddings and guest are always amazed it smells so good. For larger venues or outdoors, I’ve had the RTS team handle setup, while other times I rent and set it up myself (super easy with their step-by-step instructions). To get the most value, I use The Event package for both the ceremony and reception. I start it on a low setting for the ceremony, then move it to the ballroom at the start of cocktail hour—by the time guests arrive, the reception smells amazing.

For almost a century, Maison Gabrielle has embodied the subtle art of taste. Shaped over time between the great kitchens of Provence and Paris, our family house collaborates with chefs and restaurateurs across the world, offering the finest expressions of spices, herbs, aromatics, artisanal tea, infusions and gourmet delights — all deeply rooted in the grand tradition of French culinary savoir-faire. In 2024, Maison Gabrielle chose to open this heritage to a wider audience, sharing its expertise through an exceptional collection designed to elevate home cooking with the same precision and elegance found in the most refined restaurants.

“The Maison Gabrielle team were hands down my favorite vendors to work with for my wedding day! When you plan your wedding, the party favors are usually not at the top of your list, and I will say they were not at the top of ours. However, when we were thinking of what we would like to give to our guests as a thank you for joining us and celebrating our love, we could not find anything that really spoke to us. Most things we found were very cheap, very cliché, and not special enough. We also wanted to give something that would leave a lasting impression for our guests to remember our day that was small enough to fit into their carry-on bags for travel, that would not break. I came across Maison Gabrielle at a luxury retreat I went on in the South of France a year before our wedding. They helped create the cooking class. Something just told me to reach out to them to see if they also create anything for weddings…to my happy surprise they answered back immediately, and the rest is history! For an extra fee which we were more than happy to pay for, they personalized each organza sachet with a beautiful hangtag with each guest’s name on it. We use this as their place card at the table. Especially for guests who did not know each other at the same table this made for a great icebreaker. Many guests asking “ which spice did you get?” - and then conversation conversations continue to flow thereafter. Top notch professionalism, kindness, care and passion and very high quality is what Maison Gabrielle is! Celine & Dara were the best to work with!”

Concert Sound Systems is a full-service AV production company based in Chicago, providing professional sound, lighting, video, and staging for weddings, concerts, and corporate events across Chicago and the Midwest. With roots in Chicago theater production, our team brings a trained, detail-oriented eye to every event, from elegant wedding uplighting and ceremony sound to full concert-scale lighting rigs and LED video walls. We handle equipment, design, delivery, setup, and an experienced operator on-site, so you get one coordinated production team instead of juggling multiple vendors.
