Ann Krause was amazing — I truly can’t say enough good things! She listened so closely to my vision (even my slightly wild idea of adding glitter to my hair), and helped me create a look that felt completely “me.” She even helped me choose a hair piece that worked perfectly with my dress and served as a beautiful alternative to my veil for the reception. My makeup was absolute perfection — glamorous, but still natural. I felt stunning all day long. Between my trial and the wedding, Ann took all of my feedback to heart — adjusting the curl hold, adding more pins, and fine-tuning everything so it felt secure and photo-ready without being overdone. She was professional, warm, and completely tuned in to what I needed. I’d recommend Ann a thousand times over — she helped me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day.

Our wedding day & the planning leading up to it was absolutely perfect and we can't thank the Chicago Winery staff (especially our event manager Hulda!) enough for making our wedding come to life exactly as we dreamed it. The venue is gorgeous, our guests raved about the food/appetizers/cocktails/etc. and it is truly a night we will never forget. Being able to go outside to the cocktail hour terrace was also a huge plus to get people moving around and seeing new parts of the venue while the Chicago Winery staff transformed the whole space from ceremony to reception. We worked with Amy right after booking the space and she was so helpful in being a resource for us to bounce questions off of as we began planning. We utilized a lot of the preferred vendors (florist, DJ, etc.) that Chicago Winery recommended and they did not disappoint. Our event manager, Hulda, was soooooo helpful throughout the last 6 months of preparations and as our day-of manager - we could not have done it without her. She made sure the whole day was perfect and everything timeline-wise lined up exactly as we envisioned it. Can't recommend Chicago Winery enough! 1000000/10

My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

I HIGHLY recommend using Flowers for Dreams for your wedding day florals and decor. I specifically worked with Rachael in their Chicago office, who was so kind and professional throughout the entire process (during which she was also planning her own wedding!!). I felt heard and understood when explaining our vision, and she was constantly inviting me to provide feedback on their proposed services, swiftly making changes even just a couple weeks out. When I saw the florals in-person my jaw dropped. They were drop-dead gorgeous and far more beautiful than I could have even imagined. Our floral budget wasn't very big, and Flowers for Dreams really made the most of what we could invest. We, and all of our guests, were blown away at the beauty and quality of the florals. Plus, I love knowing that a portion of our investment is benefiting nonprofits around Chicagoland – what a win-win. Flowers for Dreams made our wedding day florals a dream come true.

Finding and working with Nicole was one of the best decisions I could have ever made for mine and my husbands wedding. Nicole from day one made sure to make herself available and was so informative. No matter how many questions I had or if I just wanted to update her about something she was always there, literally a friend from a far. Leading up to wedding day Nicole checked in with me and made sure she was current and up to date with all things wedding, she assisted me with the timeline and overall flow of the wedding day and even added in some suggestions. Nicole showed up on wedding day and it was so nice finally meeting her in person after almost a year of Facetime, calls, and texts. I have never met someone more professional. I would recommend Nicole over and over to anyone because she provides such quality in her photos and it was an absolute joy working with her.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin. As a former wedding photographer I found Walden while shooting a wedding years ago and was blown away by the space and service. When we got engaged they were the first venue I contacted for a tour and every single step along the way has reaffirmed that there’s no team I would rather have for our wedding. Maria, the owner was so fantastic for the first walk through and all of the communication was thorough and quick. Matt, the bar manager was phenomenal and everyone raved about our welcome and signature drinks. He worked with us to come up with exactly what we wanted and they tasted phenomenal. Forever in love with our fall welcome drink and my Prickly Pear Mojito. Nick, the co-owner and head chef was SO prompt with his responses and the food was to die for. As a former wedding vendor I know wedding food is typically sub par and that was 90% of my deciding factor for where we booked. EVERYTHING is amazing. He even worked with us to do items off the menu with our request to bring in some of our culture. Loved every second of it and was so sad when I had to accept we’re done with their cooking. The service team, literally all of them from start to finish were the most exceptional people I’ve encountered. So thorough, caring, and attentive. Never did I have to wait or wonder where anything was or what was happening next. They checked on us non stop and were always ready with another drink or hors d'oeuvre. Truly exceptional. Finally, to our two amazing planners. I don’t have the words. Krystle and Alyssa MADE our day, week, year. Always ready to provide input, be a sounding board, and go the extra mile. Plus, they have incredible taste in music and hometowns lol. Just speechless with you two. All of our gratitude and love forever. All in all just absolutely exceptional. We are so sad our day is over but have been raving about you every minute since it started and will be for years to come. Everyone has been floored with the beauty you all created. THANK YOU!

We did numerous trials and she educated me which helped me make decisions that lead to what I actually wanted but I didn't know how to explain. During all of our interactions we laughed and she made the experience so nice. Would book again forsure!!

My experience with YJDecorating was nothing but positive. I worked directly with Yvonne and she was able to bring my vision to life with my tight budget in mind. This company is known for their luxurious floral arrangements, but I let Yvonne know ahead of time about the smaller budget I was working with and she still was able to make my dream come true! I know nothing about flowers and trusted Yvonne to make our bouquets, ceremony and reception beautiful. Everything was stunning, simple and classic all at the same time, which is exactly what I wanted. Yvonne was extremely kind, knowledgeable, communicative and answered all of my questions in a timely response. She even let me come into the studio to see examples of what my flowers would look like. The team was professional on site and everything arrived on time. I cannot say enough how beautiful everything was! Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day. 100/10. If I ever have another event that I need professional flowers for, I will always choose this company.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.
