Cannot say enough good things about Ace Wedding Djs! They were so professional and prepared. Our dj, Wes, was absolutely amazing. He was the orchestrator of our entire wedding and I am so thankful we had someone we could trust to make sure everything flowed smoothly. He asked us questions we wouldn't have ever thought of and made sure we were completely prepared for everything.

Kelly captured every special moment so perfectly — the big, unforgettable moments as well as the small, candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening.

We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I should also mention Kelly is a great communicator and a quick text away.

We started our relationship with Lauren in the fall of 2023 as we planned our destination wedding for May 2024. From the beginning Lauren was communicative, kind and excited. We were able to connect with Lauren for an engagement shoot in Ann Arbor and received our photos so quickly we were able to use them to build our website and invites. Additionally, I gifted my husband a boudoir photo album on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful to work with. Needless to say, by the time we traveled for our wedding we were so comfortable it was like having a close friend do our shoot. Now we have our walls decorated with the most beautiful photos as we approach our first anniversary. We would recommend working with Lauren to anyone

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Hi. I'm Jaymi! I'm a West Michigan wedding photographer specializing in creative, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want authentic, story-driven images with a blend of candid moments and artistic composition. Michigan is home, but I'm available for travel worldwide!

I'm absolutely in love with Jaymi and her photography service! Lengthy positive review ahead: Initially, I was drawn to her cinematic style of photography; often intentionally capturing otherwise candid moments lost to time and preserving them forever. I work in entertainment, with a degree in fine arts, so finding someone with a keen eye for color, composition, and bespoke style was important to me and my husband. Jaymi's photography style is very unique in the world of wedding photography. Like I mentioned, her style leans more like stills from movies, rather than structure portraits. Of course, we received many traditional photos (with a touch of Jaymi's style), but I absolutely adore the photos that feel more candid. Aside from taking lovely photos of us and our friends/family, Jaymi does a great job at taking photos of the wedding itself. With how much prep goes into florals, cakes, venues, and decor, having photos that capture the vibe from the day are really important. Her photos truly showcase the feeling of the day, taking advantage of the weather, air, nature, and placement of everything. Additionally, the editing she applies to the photos feels nostalgic, and creates a timeless look! Jaymi's process throughout our entire booking/prep/and big day was professional, attentive, loving, and thoughtful. I dearly appreciated that she wanted to get to know us as a couple, and incorporated that into her work. She checked in with us often before the wedding, making sure we were prepared and feeling good about everything. Most notably, Jaymi required us to fill out a very thorough document to help prep her as much as possible; from minor details about us as a couple to specific information about relationships/photo groupings. Additionally, Jaymi went above and beyond providing sneak peaks and the final photos. I was stunned with the volume of breathtaking photos we received, and the swiftness in sharing sneak peak photos post wedding! One of my favorite memories was driving home the day after our wedding, and going through the sneak peaks admits a 10 hour drive. All these things were something I really appreciated, wedding photos are very intimate and it's assuring to work with someone who cares as much about the photos as we do. Lastly, I want to compliment Jaymi as a person! She is incredibly kind, and really brings the 'joy' in Jaymi Joy. She was cheerful throughout the entire day, keeping things on track and making sure everyone was feeling great. Jaymi is flexible, understanding, patient, and above all else, caring. I truly cannot compliment Jaymi enough, and know she will treat every wedding with the same devotion she treated ours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel was a treat to work with! Throughout the planning process she was always responsive, informative, and helpful. She had a very detailed intake meeting with us to make sure she understood what we were looking for. She always had suggestions when asked; but it was clear her goal was to bring our vision to life. She succeeded in doing just that and then some. Leading up to the wedding she actually came out with us to plan the floral set up during one of our venue visits, this was such a personal touch and really made us feel like her priority. The day of our wedding she personally dropped off the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières at the hotel my wife was getting ready at. Afterwards she ensured that all the florals, center pieces, and a multitude of other floral related decorations were beautifully set up and ready on time for us. She and her team also did the takedown so we didn’t need to worry about anything in that regard, which was wonderful. As long as Rachel is in this line of business I will ALWAYS go to her for any of my floral needs. She’s earned a customer for life, I cannot recommend her enough.

You want your love story captured in a way that’s timeless, joyful, and true to you. I specialize in clean, vibrant, romantic wedding photography for couples who value artful storytelling and a genuine connection.

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! We had a flawless experience working with Portraits by Mandy. From the time we started working together, Mandy was kind, responsive, and helpful in ways that I could not have anticipated. When we had our engagement photo session, Mandy made a true effort to get to know us and helped us not feel so camera shy. We left the session feeling like we had made a new friend! Mandy delivered our sneak peeks the next morning and they were beautiful. Come wedding day, I was extra grateful to have had Mandy around. Mandy was not just our photographer that day. She stepped in for tasks that she didn’t have to do, but she did out of the kindness of her heart. She helped bustle my dress (more than once), pinned boutonnières, kept us on our timeline, and I’m sure many other things that I didn’t hear of. We received our wedding gallery this morning, and we are over the moon with the results. Mandy’s photos speak for themselves, and working with her is just as amazing. I am forever grateful! I recommend Portraits by Mandy to anyone. We will definitely be back for photos in the future! Thank you, Mandy!!!

Hello! What I love about working at weddings is the unique experiences you have with each event. I enjoy tailoring songs and music to the couple's request and creating beautiful background music for their events. I value professionalism, adaptability, and an energetic spirit.

From the moment we booked WilliamVZ Music, we knew we were in good hands. We were so impressed with William and his professionalism, attentiveness, and quick responses throughout the planning process. He is an incredibly talented musician who exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day feel truly special. At the last minute, we noticed we had the wrong microphone extension, but William went above and beyond by letting us use their own speaker to ensure everything ran smoothly. The soundtrack they curated for our morning wedding ceremony and lunch reception felt so intentional and effortless - and is forever engraved in our hearts. William is absolutely the best, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible service they provided.

Hi! My name is Lizzy, and I am the owner and coordinator of Cranberry Co. When you partner with Cranberry Co, you get someone who is hospitality-driven and friendship-focused. We love and desire to help you craft a meaningful event for you and your guests!

Lizzy was amazing! Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Lizzy made the whole process so much easier. She was always organized, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for us. On the wedding day she kept everything on schedule, coordinated with our vendors, and handled all the behind-the-scenes details so we could actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about logistics! We're so grateful for all of her hard work and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! We would absolutely recommend Lizzy to anyone looking for a wedding planner! She's truly the best!!

I’m Rhiannon, the designer behind Artfully Meraki. I create commissioned wedding cakes shaped by florals, palette, and atmosphere. Known for floral-inspired detail, sculpted texture, and premium ingredients. Limited commissions each season. Serving Grand Rapids, MI and West Michigan.

I really wanted a cake that would feel like the moment, not JUST fit the vibe. Something that could evoke a lot of feeling — not just for me, but for everyone that got to be part of the experience. In other words.. I wanted a piece of art! And this cake did more than deliver! Also, it’s typical sometimes to sacrifice flavor over presentation. But when I tell you to go right ahead and set that high expectation for flavor, you will STILL be shocked by how delicious it is! And your guests will literally be asking you constantly where you got it from (especially if you get the chocolate cake!) I honestly couldn’t imagine another cake making a moment feel more special than this one did for me!
