Awarded Best of Zola
I had the chance to see Electric Sugar at my friend’s wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room completely shifted—they got everyone on the dance floor (even the people who usually never dance!). What really stood out was their incredible mix of styles and genres. They played everything from classic hits to modern chart-toppers. It felt like they had something for everyone. Plus, they looked so professional—it was clear they take what they do seriously. If you want a band that knows how to throw a party and keep it going strong all night, I can’t recommend Electric Sugar enough. They’re the real deal!

Here It Blooms 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Highwood, IL

Hi friend! I'm Pauline, and I am excited to help you have a fun, memorable and well-coordinated wedding. I left my career as a project manager at Meta to pursue my passion in event planning. Executing a wedding day brings me joy and fulfillment and I truly love being able to help couples on one of the most special days of their lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning our wedding with Here It Blooms, Pauline's clear, professional, and organized communication style put us at ease. We went with The Bud package (30 days of planning). My main concern was coordinating and communicating with vendors the last 30 days and all of the day of coordination. I am a project manager so I thought I had everything set, but she was so helpful in highlighting the little things that we had forgotten to plan or think through, such as when do we want to have our first dance and parent dances, or how much to tip each vendor. Being able to rely on someone with industry knowledge alleviated a lot my stress. The detailed timeline she created was wonderful for our vendors and I didn't have to communicate with anyone. This allowed me to fully enjoy the day. Pauline and Priscilla's detailed work and smooth set-up ensured our reception space looked beautifully curated, with a perfect blend of DIY and venue-provided elements. Pauline even stayed an extra hour to carefully disassemble all the DIY items. Additionally, they made sure my husband and I had a private moment during cocktail hour to enjoy a sample of our hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails - a thoughtful touch that provided a much-needed breather on our busy wedding day. The reassurance and value Here It Blooms provided was truly invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

Bisoux Event Co.

  • Planner

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Highwood, IL

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa was an absolute dream to work with. From the initial planning, to coordinating all of our vendors, and then of course the day-of timeline, flow, and impromptu problem solving. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough. She made our wedding day incredibly special and for that, I’m so grateful.

J's Elevated Dreams 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Serves Highwood, IL

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I come from a big, lively, and wonderfully loud Middle Eastern family, my heart has always been set on bringing people together and celebrating love in all its forms. What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.

Taber Lacie Photo

  • Photographer

  • Serves Highwood, IL

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

She photographed our wedding on October 4th, and I continue to receive the sweetest comments from my bridal party, family members, and wedding guests regarding how accommodating, polite, and sweet Nikki is! Although we have only received a "sneak peak" of our photos thus far, I have received ENDLESS compliments regarding the quality of these photos. Her photos are warm, timeless, intimate, and just full to the brim with love. We had a tight timeline on the day of our wedding leaving limited time for photos, and Nikki was AMAZING at taking charge of the situation and helping to keep everyone on track to ensure we would get the photos we desired. She is organized, timely, and poised and professional in all her interactions with both us and other vendors the day of. I would pick Nikki time and time again for any and all life events because I just know that not only will she take the photos, but they will be photos that we will treasure and share for a LIFETIME.

When we look back at our photos we can see how it felt on that day. We were also unfortunate enough to experience a Covid wedding cancellation 2 months before our wedding was supposed to take place. Layne was very supportive and was willing to work with us to photograph our later elopement instead. Very communicative and a pleasure all around!

Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything running smoothly on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Sonya was on top of every aspect, ensuring that everything was communicated clearly and efficiently to us and all of our vendors.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Highwood, IL

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonnie is such a gem, we had so much fun working with her! During our engagement shoot and wedding day, we were constantly laughing and just having a ball, she made us feel completely comfortable. Bonnie is chill, down-to-earth, friendly, and so much fun. She had great suggestions and was down with our ideas, too. We're extremely appreciative of her communication, transparency, and flexibility, and we can't wait to hopefully work with her again for family photos! Could not recommend her highly enough, she's the best!

I find inspiration in the diverse environments surrounding me. Hailing from the Philippines as an immigrant, I bring a multifaceted perspective to my craft, shaped by my personal journey and cultural heritage. Grounded in a diverse educational background encompassing art, architecture, and interior design, I approach floral design with the mindset of an artist, endeavoring to craft arrangements that transcend mere decoration, transforming spaces into immersive experiences.

J. Francis Florals provided exceptional service for our wedding day. While their communication style was not lengthy, it was extremely effective. The quality of their work and value was extremely high - the beautiful florals and setup happened without me even having to worry whatsoever, and everything was perfectly as described and even better in person. The arch florals were amazingly beautiful and the value was exceptional. Our sweetheart table florals were gorgeously designed. J Francis Florals is definitely worth booking, even though their communication was sometimes unavailable due to their busy schedule with other major events (which is how you know he’s a good florist); but they showed up on time when it mattered most on our wedding day. Overall, we highly recommend them. Amazing service and beautiful florals!

We are absolutely thrilled with the work of Visil Videography. Victor went above and beyond, meeting with us multiple times to truly understand our wedding details and love stories. Our wedding film is a treasure; it allows us to relive the special moments of our big day. Victor's dedication and professionalism are truly commendable. We highly recommend Visil Videography for capturing the essence of our love story on film.

Mia Freeman Photography was a great choice to work with for our wedding day. Mia was open, flexible, and easy to work with making the entire process of planning our photography feel simple and accommodating. She helped me fine tune my ideas and stylistic choices for the engagement and wedding day photographs so the final product came out looking exactly like my Pinterest board. On the day of the wedding, she was hardworking and professional, and she easily stayed on top of the busy schedule. I would highly recommend Mia Freeman Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and kind photographer to document and be a part of their wedding day!

Hi, I’m Kia, the heart behind B.Kaker Productions. Photography and videography are my passion, and my goal is to capture timeless moments that feel like you’re reliving them. I’ve had a camera since childhood and a love for travel, always ready to go wherever your special moments take you. I’ve been blessed to capture events hosted by the Green Bay Packers, work with talent affiliated with the Chicago Bulls, and have my work featured on Chicago 360. I’ve also photographed celebrities, politicians, and major events, but I love collaborating with amazing people to bring their vision to life.

B.Kaker Productions was the perfect wedding photography team for our special day. From the very beginning, their communication was informative, active, and top-tier, making the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work was simply incredible - beautiful, hands-on, and respectful of our vision. Kia and her team were wonderful, amazing, and incredibly attentive, capturing all the best moments throughout the day. Kia was very hands-on, knowing exactly when and where to be to make sure we got the perfect sunset photos and had time for ourselves. She even anticipated when we needed a break from family photos, keeping me happy and sane the entire time (I'm not a big photo person!). We received our wedding photos back quicker than anyone I know, and on our wedding night, Kia sent us a few sneak peeks to make sure we were thrilled with everything. I would highly recommend B.Kaker Productions to any couple looking for the perfect wedding photographers - they were absolutely perfect in every way.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24
