We went into the process not knowing anything about floral design, and meeting with Annie made us feel completely at ease. We wanted to incorporate some of our own special vases for our wedding centerpieces, which felt challenging for at first. But Annie's vision was absolutely perfect, and we received so many compliments on the floral decor. SO happy we chose Blue Daisy!

Emma and Sophia were AMAZING to work with and their work is incredible. I had a hard time finding a photographer who did film and super 8.

Peter Wynn Thompson Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Matteson, IL

I began my career as a photojournalist working for newspapers and magazines documenting current events, sports and pop culture. Creating meaningful images is at the heart of being a photojournalist and it's this mentality that I bring to my wedding photography. I work to create timeless images that truly tell the story of one of the most important days of your life.

As a long-time wedding and event planner, I've been working alongside Peter Thompson for many years. He has been on my list of preferred wedding vendors since I began working in the Chicagoland area. I find Peter to be extremely personal, professional, and reliable. In coaching my clients, I recommend they find a photographer who they enjoy being around because, quite frankly, the couple will spend more time with the photographer than with the planner or anyone else during the day! In seeking out a photographer, you also want someone who will smile and get along with your guests so they feel comfortable getting their photo taken. Additionally, his photos are always on point! You'll find his photos to be consistent and traditional in that they will withstand the test of time. In my opinion, he is one of the most reliable photographers in our city! Every one of my clients is always so happy they went with Peter as their photographer.

  • DJ
  • Serves Matteson, IL

Official Game DJ for The Chicago Blackhawks | Event DJ for The Chicago Cubs] DJ Lee Michaels is a professional wedding and private event DJ based out of Chicago, IL. For the past 23 years, this award-winning performer has played for hundreds of thousands nationwide. No matter the event, his formula is always the same… Mix Good Music! Old, new, and everything in between. He will not only take your requests, but will blend in his musical knowledge, to create the perfect mix for you & your guests. The dance floor is everything and he prides himself on packing it.

DJ Lee Michaels was an absolute hit at our wedding! His communication style was direct, simplified, and expert - exactly what we were looking for. The quality of his work and value was unbeatable, with true DJ talent, industry experience, and an innate ability to know exactly what the crowd (and us) wanted. Lee brought so much energy to the dance floor, knew exactly how to keep everything flowing exactly as we wanted, and made the process with him extremely simple. He also seamlessly coordinated with our saxophone player and some surprise performers we had throughout the night. So many of our guests told us it was the BEST wedding dance floor they've ever attended - Lee has an amazing way to mix songs and make the best party. The night flew by and we had so much fun. We were very serious in our planning that we did not want a "wedding DJ" but knew we needed someone with the appropriate experience, and Lee exceeded all of our expectations. Hire Lee!

I've been doing photography since high school years. After seven years working as photo journalist, I worked for 5 years on cruise line industry in the photography department. It was 2000 when I became a wedding photographer and opened our own photography studio.

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team for our special day than Doru and his team. From the moment we met them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They were not only punctual but also incredibly polite and attentive throughout the entire event. Doru's creativity truly shone through in the photos he captured. His unique ideas added an extra layer of magic to our wedding memories, and the end results surpassed all our expectations. We were blown away by the quality and creativity evident in every shot. Moreover, their efficiency was remarkable. Despite the fast-paced nature of the day, they managed to capture every important moment flawlessly. And to top it off, the turnaround time for receiving the photos was impressively quick, allowing us to relive the joy of our wedding day almost immediately. If you're looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft, look no further. They truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful.

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Chad, Sabrina, and the whole team at Studio This Is are nothing short of OUTSTANDING to work with! We have been completely obsessed with them, from the planning process to our engagement shoot to the wedding day to the photos themselves. Chad took the time to listen to our vision and bring it to life even more beautifully than we ever could have imagined. He was also incredibly organized and communicative, which meant a lot to someone as type A as me. :) The whole crew on the day of our wedding was extremely professional and kind, with a meticulous eye for details. And the photos - we are absolutely speechless! I could not recommend Studio This Is more!

Paul Michaels Events DJ and Photobooth Company

At Paul Michaels Events, we specialize in crafting unforgettable wedding celebrations that are as unique as each couple. With years of experience, a professional team, and a passion for creating the perfect atmosphere, we ensure your big day is seamless, stress-free, and filled with amazing memories. From personalized playlists to packed dance floors, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and a celebration you and your guests will never forget.

Can't say enough great things about Paul! From start to finish, Paul put my fiance and I at ease with his expertise and advice. In our first call, he took time to ask us about our vision and used that to tailor his recommendations. After booking with Paul, he provides you with access to a portal that lets you easily organize all the planned music as well as give him guidance for must plays, like to hear, do not play, etc. It also has a section where you can see popular songs for various parts of the wedding and/or for different genres, which we really needed and appreciated. After that, you meet with Paul to cover your selections and nail down more of the timeline for the day itself. Organized to a T. Most importantly, Paul read the dance floor perfectly, responding and adapting to the vibe as the night went on. He was the perfect blend of energetic but not at all obnoxious (have definitely seen corny DJs at other weddings - this is NOT Paul), his assistant was great, and he worked side by side not only with us but also our other vendors and coordinators. Not exaggerating that close to a dozen guests raved about Paul specifically. Direct quote the next morning from a guest from New Jersey for our Chicago wedding: "He was FANTASTIC, I'm gonna fly him out for our anniversary party!" While I'm not sure if Paul's radius extends that far, I am sure it would be the East Coast's loss. You can't go wrong.

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received!

Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks.

In the last few months, the Pinstripes team was wonderful to work with and helped accommodate our changes in plans with COVID. Their staff is fun, energetic, and experts in event planning. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Pinstripes this year in the cocktail room down by the beautiful river and we cannot wait to host our larger reception next year in the ballroom. The location (right next to Navy Pier) is optimal and the outside/inside flexibility was greatly appreciated. During and after our rehearsal dinner, our guests thanked us several times for the delicious food at Pinstripes. The event planning team has been great to work with --through tastings, room setup, and again, re-planning our entire event with COVID. If you're looking for a great location, delicious food, a rustic setup on the river, and a great planning team, look no further! Wedding planning is already quite time consuming and a few Pinstripes below alleviated so many of our stresses throughout: Jessica Randel has been very responsive and proactive throughout her time with us--we had to make significant changes to our plans due to COVID and she helped bring our new vision (keeping everyone as safe as possible while maximizing our rehearsal dinner experience). She's helped us change our 150 person wedding to an intimate rehearsal dinner gathering outside, expertly advised us on various dinner services and setup, helped us safely manage new Chicago COVID rules (that changed week to week), and during the week of she kept us abreast of the weather and proactively guided us into a stress-free scenario. We cannot wait to work with her next year as we reschedule our big wedding reception in the downstairs ballroom. My husband and I also cannot thank Sherry Kenny, Diana Grodecki, and Jeremy Hopkins enough for the excellent expertise and service-driven customer experience. Sherry, at Oakbrook Pinstripes, provided us invaluable advice as we were navigating our COVID change in plans and managing through the changing circumstances in Chicago. Diana worked with us during the early phases, making our wedding tasting and early planning experience with my family a blast. At our rehearsal dinner, Jeremy ensured that every one of our guests received the top food and drink service, that his staff took precautionary measures, and that everyone had a phenomenal time. These efforts on your wedding weekend make a huge difference and we couldn’t have been more happy with our rehearsal dinner evening. We cant wait to finalize our big wedding reception plans with them in 2021 and return for another great experience.
