I would recommend JZ Studio Photography to anyone getting married!

I cannot thank Olivia Abby from Afterglow Weddings and Events ENOUGH for the INCREDIBLE job they did for my husband & I's wedding at RPM Events in Chicago. They made not only wedding day with our crazy families, but also the 3 months leading up to our big day a BREEZE. We debated not hiring a planner/coordinator since I'm a very organized & Type-A individual anyways & RPM Events providers a coordinator, but Olivia & Abby put me to shame with ALL their organizational skills, the little details I forgot, their experiences with other brides & vendors- not to mention they're overall just kind & fun individuals! From 3 months out, Olivia took everything over & we got to just enjoy the final meetings, picking songs, wedding shower, etc. with no worries, stress or bridezilla moments about anything else. 100% easily the best investment we made for our wedding when hiring Afterglow, and looking back we couldn't have had such a successful day with ZERO things going wrong (seriously, we were that prepared thanks to Afterglow that NOTHING went wrong). Even before our wedding day arrived we were already recommending Olivia to ALL our friends that still need to get married & we will continue to do so! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Inspiration photos and poses and showed them to me so I can get the idea and put my worries to ease.

We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers. Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Toast & Jam and DJ Alli Klein were FANTASTIC!! Music was so incredibly important to me for our wedding and Alli understood the assignment and delivered. I had multiple people come up to me during and after our wedding and say that the music was the best they’ve ever heard at any wedding. Not to mention everything went off perfectly without a hitch. If you want a rocking dance floor and to party hard then look no further than toast and jam.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I HIGHLY recommend using BBBB for your beauty services. As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup and has naturally curly/wavy hair, my priority for hair/makeup services was finding a place who would make me look and feel beautiful and confident, but still like myself. The BBBB team KNOCKED it out of the park. Amy (makeup), Milian (hair) and Brenda (hair/makeup) were so kind and professional while doing hair/makeup for myself, my mother, my two grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my two maids-of-honor. They kept us on schedule, but were flexible when someone was running behind or needed to take a break. Their energy was fun, warm, and relaxing, which helped to really set the tone for the day. Everyone was saying how the morning of the wedding felt almost like a spa experience – it was that relaxing! We all looked beautiful, seriously. And we all felt like *ourselves*, which was a top priority for us. I remarked to my husband that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day – and I don't know if I'll ever feel more gorgeous! So much of that is attributed to the hair and makeup services I received from BBBB. I felt so confident heading into our wedding day. Not once did I feel preoccupied about my appearance, because the artists crushed it. Thank you BBBB crew for making such a special, cherished day all the more magical.

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.

From the moment we began our search for a wedding photographer and videographer, we knew we wanted someone who could tell our story with authenticity and artistry. We found exactly that with Candid Studios. Their team brought a level of professionalism and creativity that was simply unmatched. Our journey with Candid Studios began with a consultation that felt more like a conversation with old friends than a business meeting. They listened intently to our vision and offered expert advice that made us feel confident and excited about our big day. On our wedding day in Miami, the Candid Studios team was nothing short of phenomenal. They blended seamlessly into the background, yet didn't miss a single moment. Their attention to detail was evident in every shot they took – from the candid laughter shared during our vows to the tears of joy during our first dance. What truly set Candid Studios apart was their generous offer of RAW footage at no extra charge. This gesture allowed us to relive every moment in its purest form. And with lifetime storage, we rest easy knowing our memories are safe forever. The AI editing was a game-changer; the final images were enhanced beautifully, highlighting the best parts of our special day. The option for custom editing also meant that we could have our photos match the vision we had in mind perfectly. But it wasn't just their technology or their keen eye for detail that impressed us – it was their genuine passion for storytelling. They crafted a narrative of our wedding day that felt true to us and moved everyone who watched it. Candid Studios didn't just deliver photos and videos; they delivered a masterpiece that encapsulated the love, laughter, and tears of one of the most important days of our lives. Our friends and family can't stop talking about how incredible our wedding media turned out! If you're looking for a photography and videography company that will go above and beyond to capture your special moments, look no further than Candid Studios. We are eternally grateful for their work and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Candid Studios, for making our dreams a reality!

Having Funk Almighty at our wedding last year was both the cake and icing on top! It’s not just the usual band experience because on top of the great music some of the band stepped onto the dance floor with us, and that just blew our guests away! They danced and sang with us and our guests, bringing an amazing energy that was both intimate and exhilarating for us!! They even did a dance routine that all our guests caught on too and before we knew it everyone was doing the same dance. We looked at quite a few bands and we cannot recommend them enough because they made our wedding feel more like a shared experience with friends than a formal event. It was a highlight for many of our guests and truly showcased Funk Almighty's commitment to not just performing music but creating lasting memories, which was something Daryl promised us right off the bat. We're incredibly thankful for this special aspect of their performance and cannot recommend them enough if you’re looking for an unforgettable night! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

Norah was extremely easy to work with and we came away thrilled we chose her as our DJ. She was extremely responsive.Her way of putting together the music list both made sure we had a ton of songs that we wanted to hear and also a healthy mix of crowd pleasers and good vibes that we didn’t have to think about. She got the vibe we were going for perfectly at dinner and on the dance floor. She was also very helpful in getting us to think through what kind of music we would want for the ceremony. Also, as someone very familiar with the industry, she had good advice for helping us navigate things with other vendors we were looking at and we appreciated her experience. The best part was we ended up with a dance floor that stayed full and happy until the last song played.

We are beyond grateful to our incredible wedding planner for helping bring our Garden Summer Wedding to life on June 14, 2025. From start to finish, the planning process was smooth, collaborative, and truly enjoyable. Every detail reflected our personalities and vision—from the romantic florals of eucalyptus, hydrangeas, and roses with soft touches of purple, to the perfectly arranged tent and décor that made our backyard feel magical. Our planner worked seamlessly with us and our vendors to make the day unforgettable. From accommodating fun and unexpected elements like a white bounce house castle and a vintage plum crazy 1970 Dodge Challenger, to helping coordinate Andrew and his son’s surprise dirt bike entrance—nothing was ever too big or too small. Their professionalism and calm presence allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Thank you for turning our ideas into something even more beautiful than we imagined. You gave us a day full of joy, laughter, and cherished memories—we couldn’t have done it without you! With heartfelt thanks, Yulia & Andrew
