“My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!”

She was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire process low stress. You can tell she is experienced with destination weddings and was able to work well with the resort staff, including their videographer, and work around their schedules as needed. All of our guests kept commenting on how wonderful she was at capturing shots and just as a person! The photos are absolutely perfect! She captured every moment beautifully, and we received our pictures back so quickly, which was such a pleasant surprise. Communication was always easy, and she was so responsive to any questions or requests we had leading up to and after the wedding. We truly feel so lucky to have had her as part of our big day.

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.

They stepped in to help without hesitation when a couple things went awry, and their warm presence helped calm my nerves and allowed me the space to take a much-needed breather when I was feeling overwhelmed. You two mean the world to us. Thank you for making our day so special through your incredible talent and for just being exactly who you are.”

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! 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!!”

“We hired RSVP Events for Day of Coordination for our wedding. It was the best decision for our wedding day! We didn't have to think about any of the logistics or vendors - Adrien & Paige handled it all so we could host our family and friends, and celebrate the start to our marriage. Ahead of the wedding, Adrien made sure our vendors had all the information they needed, and triple checked our timeline to make sure the day went smooth.”

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

“From our first meeting with April, we knew we had found someone who truly understood what we needed. April's communication was steady and clear throughout the entire planning process, which gave us confidence that our wedding day would run smoothly. On the day itself, she managed logistics with ease, herding a group of marines and keeping everyone on schedule without breaking a sweat. When our cake started to melt, April fixed it on the spot and handled the situation so gracefully that we didn't even have to worry. She showed up with solutions for everything, from her seemingly endless bag of supplies to thoughtful touches like bringing me apple juice when I needed it. April listened to what mattered to us and executed our vision with kindness and confidence. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.”
