“We're so happy to have worked with Adrian! First, his pricing was incredibly affordable for the Chicago market. Adrian was a clear and responsive communicator which was such a relief as we were planning our wedding from out of state. His questionnaire leading up to the event was very thorough to make sure that everything was set so the day would go smoothly. Our guests told us after a wedding how great the music was, and how much fun they had on the dance floor! After getting an idea of our music taste and the energy on the dance floor, he was able to take that and run with it, making the night flow seamlessly. Very grateful for his professionalism and how he helped contribute to our dream wedding!”

From the very beginning, Candace put so much time, energy, creativity, and love into every detail. She didn’t just help plan a wedding—she helped create an experience that my husband, our family, and our guests will always remember. The attention to detail was absolutely amazing! From the games and activities to keep our guests entertained, the timeline, the little details, and making sure everything came together, Candace was there every step of the way. She made sure our wedding was fun, organized, and truly reflected who we were as a couple. Planning a wedding in six months is no small task, but Candace handled it with patience, professionalism, dedication, and a positive spirit. She gave her time and energy to make sure everything was just right, and I will forever be grateful for that. Candace, thank you for everything you did to make our February 2022 wedding so beautiful and memorable. Your hard work did not go unnoticed. You were truly a blessing throughout the entire process, and I would highly recommend you to anyone planning their wedding!

“Absolutely Stellar Experience with Destify! If I could give Destify 10 stars, I would! Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re coordinating travel, guests, timelines, vendors, and all the little details from miles away. Destify made the entire process feel seamless, organized, and honestly, FUN! From the very beginning, their team, which included Ashley Garcia as the “boss,” was incredibly helpful, responsive, patient, and attentive to our vision. They took the stress out of the logistics and allowed us to focus on what truly mattered: celebrating our love and enjoying every moment with our family and friends. Our wedding in Mexico turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. Having 73 of our loved ones travel near and far to celebrate with us made the experience even more meaningful, and Destify played such an important role in helping bring it all together. What stood out most was how supported we felt throughout the entire planning process. Questions were answered, details were handled, and we never felt like we were navigating this huge process alone. Destination weddings have A LOT of moving parts, but Destify helped make those pieces come together beautifully. To the entire Destify team: THANK YOU! You helped turn our vision into a beautiful reality, and we will forever be grateful for the role you played in making our wedding unforgettable. If you’re considering a destination wedding, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND USE DESTIFY! You deserve to enjoy your engagement and wedding experience without drowning in the logistics.

She was also patient in finding the right lip shade for each of us. Melanie was a great presence to have in the bridal suite. Sharing stories, laughing at our jokes and overall bringing the energy up. Each persons hair style choice was unique and executed exactly how we asked.

Silver Lake Country Club delivered an all-inclusive experience that felt both elegant and affordable, and we couldn't have asked for a better choice.”

“We had our wedding at Moonflower, and it was amazing! We originally found Moonflower on Zola. Although we are from the area, we had never visited before, and the photos immediately caught our attention. The bar fit our vibe perfectly, and after visiting a few times, we knew it was the right place for us. We rented both spaces: the main bar upstairs and Nightshade, the speakeasy downstairs. Moonflower has a small stage in the main bar, which we used for our ceremony. The space already has so much character that it needed very little decorating. We brought small flower vases and an altar piece that the bride and her now mother in law made together. After the ceremony, we held cocktail hour and served food buffet style in the main bar. Later, everyone moved downstairs to Nightshade. Its lounge atmosphere and dance floor were perfect for our 50 to 60 guests. Some people relaxed around the cocktail tables while others danced, so everyone could enjoy the night in their own way. Moonflower’s event organizer, Morgan, was wonderful. She made the entire planning process feel easy and was a joy to work with. She helped turn our ideas into reality, assisting with day of logistics, décor, beverage packages, and every question that came up. She was always responsive and available. Morgan also helped us think through details that had not occurred to us, including coffee for our guests, explaining the parking situation, contacting nearby businesses about using their lots, and recommending DJs. We ultimately hired one of the DJs she suggested. Her extra support was incredibly helpful and took a great deal of stress out of planning. If you have not tried Moonflower’s drinks, you are missing out. Their regular cocktail menu is fantastic, and our experience was even more special because of a custom cocktail session with Zach. He created signature drink options for each of us based on our tastes and favorite cocktails. Every option was spectacular, and the final drinks felt personal and special. We chose Funeral Potatoes for the food. Since they already handle the food at Moonflower, we were able to try many dishes beforehand. Our guests raved about everything. We especially recommend the brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, and caprese sandwiches. Alexis, who heads up Funeral Potatoes, was also extremely helpful with selecting the menu. The only outside food we brought in was our wedding cake. The entire staff was phenomenal. Everyone treated the occasion with the perfect balance of care, professionalism, and fun. The night went off without a hitch and was truly one of the best nights of our lives. Moonflower was also extremely reasonable compared with other venues we considered in the city, especially with an open bar and food available on site. Street parking was plentiful, and none of our guests had trouble finding a spot. For anyone looking for a relaxed wedding for 50 to 60 people with a memorable lounge atmosphere, fantastic staff, buffet style food, and exceptional cocktails, Moonflower should be at the top of your list.”

“Blair and her team, Elly and Neva, were lifesavers for our wedding! We met her team during an open house for The Brix, the venue where we had our reception. We found out that my cousin was also working with her for his wedding and he had the most amazing things to say so we knew we were in good hands! Blair is easy to talk to and work with, professional, kind, understanding, and extremely organized! She helped us stick to our budget, coordinate with other vendors, and gave us so many recommendations and options for high quality vendors. Blair is extremely responsive! We loved how quickly she was responding to any questions we had and I also really appreciated the nudges on deadlines! We have extremely busy schedules and we travel often, so the frequent reminders and check-ins were crucial. We were grateful that there were scheduled talks intermittently throughout the planning process. It really helped us manage the timeline and logistics. If you’re a Type-A Bride, you will love the website they put together to help keep things organized (seating chart, vendors etc). On the big day, Blair and her team ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. My husband and I highly recommend BW Studio for anyone looking to make their wedding stress-free and memorable!”

“Godfred did a phenomenal job editing. He worked with us to get our vision right and I think I love our teaser trailer the most of all. Even though he had a family emergency and was unable to film the actual wedding, he recruited someone to step in for him and held a phone call between the 4 of us to make sure that the transition was smooth. The filming was flawless and editing was a dream. If you have any doubts- put them to rest right now. Absolute fairytale. Thank you so much for the amazing lasting memories!! Advice to newlyweds-Definitely spring for a videographer; photos can only let you live so many emotions. I get emotional each time I watch my videos. You’re already spending the money so make sure you capture every bit of it.”

“Hands down, the best investment we could have made for our wedding was hiring SEG. Especially since we were trying to plan a wedding in Chicago from Florida, we were lost in starting this journey. Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything. You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail that was given on the actual day and the curated timeline made it all seamless and gave us the opportunity to actually take in and enjoy the whole day with family and friends! We could write a book about how magical and perfect every aspect of the wedding turned out, how valued we felt over the planning process, or even how Alex went out of her way to make sure that the little details happened that you look back on now and deeply appreciate but it still wouldn't be enough to repay her for curating the wedding that we dreamed of.”
