There are so many options for wedding vendors that it can feel overwhelming. I am so happy that Sam was our DJ. Seeing how detail oriented he is, took away so many worries. Sam takes great care to get to know you and tailor the music to you as a couple. He far exceeded our expectations. There was not a moment when our guests weren’t on the dance floor.

It was an absolute blessing to have Justin and his team capture our wedding day! Seriously, from the moment we first connected, I and my now husband knew we were in good hands. Not only is Justin and his team incredibly talented with the camera, but their videography and editing skills are phenomenal as well! Justin and his team brought so many fresh and creative ideas to the table. I mean, things we wouldn't have even thought of, but they turned out to be some of our favorite shots and moments. And let me tell you, professionalism is an understatement when it comes to Justin and his whole crew. They were on time, organized, and just had this amazing way of making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful, especially when things got a little hectic.

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

I had Cat for makeup and Reyna for hair for both my trial and wedding. Both ladies were absolutely professional and made me feel my best! I had some issues with my lashes during the trial and Cat used a different one on my wedding and it fixed the problem. They take your feedback seriously during your trial so you have nothing to worry about on your wedding day. I normally don't wear makeup except special festive occasions and my trial stood the test of spicy hotpot at the end of the day without smudging. Same thing on my wedding day everything stayed until pretty much late evening after dinner, cake and bubble tea. Not immediately advertised, but they also do groom makeup! Husbands deserve to look good on their day, too. I would recommend their team for your wedding!

We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.

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 Sean and I had our wedding on July 3rd, 2026 at Walden and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the very beginning of the planning process, Krystle, Alyssa, and Gia made us feel like we were in great hands. Their organization, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout our year-and-a-half of planning and allowed us to genuinely enjoy the journey rather than feel overwhelmed. One of the biggest highlights was the incredible support we received in building our vendor team. The recommendations from Walden connected us with amazing local professionals who helped bring our vision to life. It was clear that Walden has built strong relationships with talented vendors, and that made the planning process so much easier for us. The coordination and timeline management on the wedding day were absolutely flawless. Everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We never had to worry about what came next because Alyssa and team had everything under control. What impressed us most was how much effort the team put into understanding our vision. They took our ideas and transformed them into something even more beautiful than we imagined. Seeing the reception space during the room reveal was one of our favorite moments of the day—we were completely blown away. Every detail felt personal and reflected us as a couple. Our guests are still talking about the venue, the food, and the drinks. We received countless compliments throughout the evening and in the days that followed. Even before the wedding, experiences like the tasting party made us feel confident that we had chosen the right place. The entire process was thoughtful, enjoyable, and incredibly well executed. If you're considering Walden for your wedding, we definitely recommend it. The venue itself is beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the people - from the planning team, to the day-of-coordinators, to the bar and kitchen staff. The team is dedicated, responsive, caring, and committed to making your day special. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

We are BEYOND thrilled with our experience working with BW Studio & Events! From start to finish, Blair and Neva were nothing short of extraordinary. Their warm, welcoming personalities instantly put us at ease and created such a positive energy throughout the entire planning process. The communication was seamless — clear, timely, organized, and incredibly efficient. We always felt informed and supported, and no detail ever slipped through the cracks. The way Blair and her team orchestrate vendors is truly unmatched. Every single vendor we worked with mentioned how wonderful and effortless it is collaborating with BW Studio & Events. It speaks volumes about their professionalism and reputation in the industry. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Truly no task or ask was ever too big or too small. They handled everything with grace, care, and a level of dedication that made us feel so supported. Most importantly, they brought a sense of comfort, calm, and peace during what can often be a stressful season. Thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding experience. We cannot recommend BW Studio & Events enough. If you’re considering them — do it. You will be in the best hands!

Toast and Jam DJs 
Rating: 5.0 (46 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves Homewood, IL

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.

Ann was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She kindly let me do two hair trials until I really loved the outcome of my hair. I was also impressed with her team and how my bridesmaids' looks turned out. No one looked overdone. Giselle was also incredible and really listened to my concern for the airbrush to match my natural skin color as I had previously had bad experiences of looking too orange. I was in love with the final outcome of my wedding day look! CC: @RebeccaHaleyPhotography

Tricia did a fantastic job on my makeup for a wedding in Cancun. My makeup and lashes stayed the whole night despite some wind and humidity. I loved how my look turned out and highly recommend her services!
