Wendy is truly amazing and did wonders for my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, and myself. Her background and experience is impressive and her knowledge is extensive. She airbrushed my entire wedding party and the make-up felt lightweight and lasted all day. I also made the mistake of getting a facial peel too close to my wedding and she was able to cover up a burn on my cheek. She made me look and feel fabulous! Couldn't have asked for a better make-up artist for my wedding!

Ken and his team are unmatched. He stays up to speed with new tech, I really liked our ability to keep in touch via zoom, FaceTime, text, calls, and the portals. He made me feel really comfortable in the fact he let me know he’s not just a DJ, he a wedding planner and he makes sure everyone’s on point for your special day. Myself and my wife had been in the Chicago music scene (EDM specifically) for about a decade. We met Ken and knew he had what it takes. He knew all the genres of music we liked, made a specific mix for our wedding, and absolutely crushed it. My family keeps telling me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. From the lights, speakers, sparks, everything was just so perfect. Ken and his wife will always be life long friends of ours now. I mean for real who can say they are good friends with their wedding DJ only AFTER they met because of wedding planning. Please trust me, if you want a wedding to remember, trust Ken and he will make sure your day is absolutely perfect.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

Working alongside Yes to I Do was such an incredible experience! As the photographer for the day, I was so impressed with how organized, communicative, and genuinely kind their team was from start to finish. They kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed, joyful atmosphere for everyone involved. It truly felt like we were all on the same page, working together to give the couple the best day ever. Can’t wait to work with this amazing team again! It was truly a dream collaboration!

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

The Lovin Oven Cakery was a fantastic choice for our wedding cake and desserts. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, professional, and clear - making the process seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional, with beautifully detailed and personal designs. Our family has had cakes from them for years, and they were even able to deliver all the way to our wedding in Wisconsin. We've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests, and some are even considering driving down just to try more of their delicious creations. Lovin Oven Cakery made our special day even sweeter!

Annette was amazing! She was so helpful and really listened to what I wanted my wedding florals to look like—and she completely delivered. Everything turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. She was so communicative throughout the whole process and made everything stress-free. Annette did an incredible job bringing my vision to life, and I would recommend her to anyone!
