I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

I have worked alongside Kylie in a few different event planning capacities, and her attention to detail and vision for flawlessly executing and coordinating celebrations is excellent! Kylie has years of experience coordinating within the realm of non-profits; including fundraising events, a yearly brunch for nurses, and volunteer appreciation dinners. In addition to this, Kylie has executed the coordination of several weddings. I would highly recommend using Kylie as your event coordinator. She will always bring the fun, energy and attention to beauty that every event deserves.

Owner and operator Amanda is a talented individual that takes great joy in serving couples as they celebrate life’s precious milestones. With a focus on exceptional customer experience, Amanda and her team look forward to bringing your dream wedding to life.

Hiring Amanda and her team to coordinate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! As a type A (anxious) person I needed someone to reassure me we were on track. The interval check-ins were so helpful and APE's organization the day of helped me to relax and let someone else handle the details so I could enjoy the day. We had a few minor issues the day of, some of which we didn't even know about because APE handle them before we even found out about them. As an example, when we realized our vendor didn't deliver whiskey, Amanda went out and purchased and delivered whiskey within 15 minutes. They were also so helpful in corralling family/friends and telling them what to do so we didn't have to. They kept us on track during a busy day, but also let us know that it was our day and we could take time where we wanted it. Can't recommend enough if you are looking for a highly organized and knowledgable coordinator!

I started DJ' ing as a kid with old fashion turntables and records about 30 years ago preforming at various dances, parties and events. I became a police officer 20 years ago but just couldn't give up my passion for DJ'ing , so I started up my own DJ company in 2010 and currently "patrol the streets by day and DJ by night" so to speak. Because I have a stable income source, I don't DJ just to make money , and its "not just a job to me". It's my passion! As a result, your event gets 110% of all my effort and attention because I love what I do and care that my clients are always satisfied.

Five-O DJ/Tom was the BEST!!! I reached out for quotes for our wedding and he was so responsive, detailed, and helpful. Once we started working together, it was clear that he was a very experienced DJ and a true professional. He also helped us with SO many ceremony planning items. I was considering hiring a Day of Coordinator, and I totally did not need one because Tom handled everything perfectly. Five-O DJ did our ceremony music as well as cocktail hour and the full reception, and I honestly expected to pay a lot more considering how many services he provided! I wanted our cocktail and dinner hours to sound like a live mariachi band was there, and he made it happen. His commentary was fun and set a great tone for the reception. He kept everyone in the wedding party organized and on time for all of the events and speeches. We even received customized remixes of our entrance songs so that the timing of everything flowed beautifully! We will definitely be hiring Five-O DJ again for future parties and events! I highly recommend.

I loved my wedding, it was everything I could've wanted out of the venue. I had My ceremony (outside) & reception (inside) and it was such a wonderful time! I did the family-style menu and all the food was delicious. The reception area in the all seasons room was beautiful with the light globe. The bartenders and servers were very attentive and polite. All of our guests loved the food, the chocolate fountain, and of course the late-night bowling!! The communication with the venue was my main pain point as I was appointed multiple sales managers as it seemed like they were going through a management change. I thought it was odd that I talked with the sales manager for all of my communication regarding the wedding up until the day of I was assigned an event manager who I met 1 hour before my ceremony. The sales manager was still on property the day of but I thought it was weird I didn't receive any information that I would be working with someone else the day of. I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a beautiful and fun place to get married!!

Big Delicious Planet, named the “Greenest Caterer in America” since 2013, is one of the most sought after Chicago wedding caterers for couples who want flavorful, vibrant food with sustainability in mind. We cater highly-styled, glamorous weddings, and romantic, vintage weddings at venues all across the city and intimate weddings, elopements, and rehearsal dinners in our own urban farm. During our growing season, we’ll use the produce we harvest for your wedding!

We chose BDP to cater our September 2024 wedding at Firehouse Chicago and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer. Jasmine was such a delight to work with from start to finish in planning our event - from the initial quote and inquiries, our tasting, planning along the way, our final walkthrough, and execution day-of. We were so lucky to have found BDP and felt supported in our wedding planning process from start to finish. But most of all, BDP served up some incredible food and beverages. Finding the right food and drinks for our wedding was important to us, so choosing the right caterer and bartending staff was crucial. BDP sources their produce and herbs from their urban farm in West town, and the everything they made for our wedding was so fresh, inventive, and unique. Their food is 1000 times better than any you will ever have at a wedding - it's more like dining at a nice Chicago restaurant than eating the standard dry chicken breast most wedding caterers produce. We loved our meal and had multiple guests come up to use during dinner to comment on how good the food was. I'm still craving another bite of their tortellini! They paid such attention to detail with everything leading up to the wedding and several of our guest's special dietary needs. Everyone had something safe and delicious to eat, and we felt so lucky to be supported by them. The speciality cocktails BDP made for our wedding were also the best drinks I've ever had at a wedding- by far! They even did some special cocktail infusions ahead of time for a favorite cocktail of ours that we never imaged could be served at a wedding. It was so delicious, so unique, and just overall amazing. If you're looking for a wedding caterer, look no further.

Our style is unobtrusive which allows us to capture fleeting moments of joy, love, and tenderness with intentionality.

“WOW. Just WOW!! I honestly can't say enough good things about Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage. Booking Bonphotage was easily the best decision we made for our wedding and I truly could not imagine my wedding without them. From the first phone call with Lynzie, I felt completely at ease - her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm left us feeling that choosing Bonphotage for our wedding photography and videography team was a no-brainer. Leading up to the wedding, Lynzie and her team were responsive and detailed. They were instrumental in making sure our timeline was carefully tailored to ensure we received every image we desired while never feeling rushed or unnatural - and that is how we could best describe our whole experience with Bonphotage - ABOVE AND BEYOND! During the wedding day, the Bonphotage team struck the perfect balance between making sure we looked flawless by offering advice on poses, while still making us feel completely candid and natural! Our family and guests commented many times that they barely even noticed that our pictures and videos were being taken all night long! Lynzie, in particular, was meticulous, with razor-sharp senses anticipating every moment and emotion so carefully. The photography and videography team worked together seamlessly in a cohesive and planned manner. Truly a DREAM TEAM! But the BEST PART?! - the pictures were absolutely BREATHTAKING!! STUNNING!! and FAST! We got our entire wedding gallery in two weeks! We knew Lynzie and her team were incredible from looking at their portfolio online and following (ok - stalking!) their instagram for years - but the photos surpassed our already very high expectations in literally every way!! We couldn’t be happier. We will cherish these images for the rest of our life!! Do yourself a favor and hire Bonphotage!!”

Astoria Banquets and Events Venue was an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with for our wedding. All through the planning process, their communication was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and detailed. The venue itself is truly glamorous and elegant, yet versatile enough to suit any couple's style. The bartenders, wait staff, and coordinators provided incredible service, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our special day. In fact, Max at Astoria was better than any wedding planner we could have hired. For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday. We got married at Astoria on a Sunday in February, and the price per person was a steal, especially since the venue included everything we needed aside from a DJ and photographer. Overall, Astoria Banquets and Events Venue provided us with the most beautiful wedding, all while keeping us well under budget. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and beautiful venue!!

The venue is gorgeous, offering the perfect setting for a romantic celebration. What made this experience even better was how fantastic the team at The Glen Club is to work with.
