For over a decade, I’ve been the Lead Bridal Stylist at MADEYABLUSH, styling more than 60 weddings each year throughout South Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. With 15 years in the beauty industry, I’ve had the joy of creating romantic hairstyles and soft glam makeup looks that help brides feel calm, confident, and beautiful on one of the most important days of their lives. Every bride I work with becomes part of the MADEYABLUSH family—and that’s what makes this work so meaningful to me.

“Jessica and the team at MadeYaBlush were a dream to work with for my wedding day. Jessica is so on top of communication - she answered any and all questions quickly and efficiently. I would 110% recommend MadeYaBlush to any couple. They have amazing work - from the trial to the day of, any notes or feedback I had she took positively and was amazing to work with. The hair and makeup lasted all day, and the team was so kind to everyone. Jessica made me feel so special and I'm grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day perfect.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!”

For more than a decade, I’ve planned weddings throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, helping couples navigate the process with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you are looking for a wedding planner, you have found it. The single best thing I did for my wedding was hire Amy and HEA events to plan it. I just got married at the Adler Planetarium this weekend, and Amy & HEA events is the reason it happened. When I began my wedding planning process, I knew immediately I would need a planner. I was going to have a large 200 person wedding, and I knew I wanted it to be a grand event. I talked with over 10 different planners, and could not find anyone that felt "right", until I talked to Amy. From the minute we talked on the phone, I knew she was the best planner. She was sweet, yet honest, organized, and had a very impressive history of planned weddings. As a very "type A" bride, I was worried that no one would take my wedding as seriously as I did, and I was so wrong. I ALWAYS felt like Amy made my wedding a priority. In the two years leading up to my wedding, she reached out to all vendors, compared pricing, read through every contract, told me where to spend my money and what was a waste. She problem solved the smallest of things that only I noticed/ cared about, and never made me feel like something was silly or too over the top. She sat through every vendor meeting with me, took notes on everything that was said, and remembered every detail that I couldn't keep track of! She came to my tasting and gave her expert opinion on which foods to go with and why. She sent payment reminders, communicated with vendors constantly, helped me make decisions when I just couldn't make any more. However, the real testament of not only Amy's work, but also her character, came on the wedding weekend. During the rehearsal, Amy came with print outs for the entire party and family that clearly explained the timeline of the weekend. She ran the rehearsal so seamlessly. With the weather constantly changing, we had a day- of backup plan, but hoped we wouldn't need it. Then, on the wedding day, before an entirely outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, we had a very difficult and stressful hour before the ceremony. As the rain continued to pour, Amy did everything in her power to reassure me and calm me down. I never felt any type of stress or concern from her. She was always calm and collected, and did everything in her power to make my wedding happen the way we had planned it. The weather cleared with just a few minutes to spare, and SOMEHOW, Amy and her team pulled off what was nothing short of a wedding day miracle, and we were able to still have the ceremony outside (and on time, might I add!!). Throughout the wedding night, Amy made sure to deal with any issue, handle difficult extended family members, and ensure that the night went off without a hitch. I can sincerely say that without Amy, my wedding would not have been everything I wanted it to be and more. I am going to miss getting to work with Amy every day. With Amy, you're not just getting an exceptional planner with years of experience and unmatched expertise that she brings to the table. You're also getting a friend, an older sister to tell you what to do, someone you can rely on when the stress of a wedding feels too great, and a metaphorical (and sometimes literal) bodyguard/ protector to shield you from vendors, crazy family members, and emotional distress LOL. Do yourself the biggest favor, and hire Amy & HEA events for your wedding or event.”

“It was absolutely wonderful having 3rd Coast Live play at our wedding. From our very first conversation, Kelly and Dorothy were communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, which took so much stress off our plate during planning. They really took the time to understand the vibe we were aiming for, and translated that into such a cool experience for us and our guests. We wanted songs from some of our favorite videogames (Skyrim, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed) worked into the ceremony, and they perfectly adapted those tracks to be played live before the ceremony. Several people mentioned it afterward as one of the most memorable touches of the day. Day-of coordination was completely seamless. They were locked in with our timeline, adjusted smoothly when small things shifted, and never once made us feel like we needed to manage them. Not only could they handle the classics, but they also have the skills to take something unconventional and make it feel elevated. I cannot recommend 3rd Coast Live enough.”

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

“Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments.

“Niko Menko Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Niko understood the vision I had for our wedding photos based on the mood board I shared with him. We had a great meeting prior to the wedding day to go over all the details, which put me at ease knowing he was prepared. On the day of, Niko was incredibly professional and helpful - he guided us through posing and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

“Karl Knutson's Band Or Dj? Get Both! was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Karl was clear about what he could offer and flexible when we needed to adjust our plans. During cocktail hour, his singing was a standout moment—our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented he is. He kept the energy high throughout the night while also helping our speeches flow naturally without any awkward transitions. Karl's combination of live vocals and DJ skills meant we didn't have to hire two separate people, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We'd recommend him to any couple looking to get the best of both worlds.”

“I truly cannot recommend Mackenzie enough! From the very beginning of wedding planning, she took my vision and Pinterest board and transformed it into a reality that exceeded every expectation I had. Every floral arrangement was absolutely breathtaking, and the attention to detail was beyond anything I could have imagined. Her talent and creativity are unmatched. Not only did she create all of the arrangements for our wedding, but she also has been a part of our Mother’s Day and bridal shower, creating works of art for those events as well. Beyond her incredible work as a florist, Mackenzie is one of the kindest and most professional people I've had the pleasure of working with. On our wedding day, she went so far beyond her role. She wasn't just there to set up flowers—she was there making sure we were taken care of every step of the way. She brought us water and drinks, grabbed my phone when I needed it, and helped with so many little things that made such a big difference. Having someone so thoughtful and genuinely invested in making our day perfect meant the world to us. I am incredibly grateful for everything Mackenzie did. She made our wedding day more beautiful, less stressful, and more special than I could have ever hoped for. I will continue to support her however I can, and she will always be my very first recommendation to anyone looking for an amazingly talented florist. Thank you, Mackenzie, for going above and beyond and helping make our dream wedding come to life! You’re the best!”
