Sis And Me Bakery was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding cakes and desserts. Their communication was always quick, reliable, and easy - they responded to our inquiries promptly and provided helpful guidance throughout the process. The quality of their work surpassed our expectations, with cakes and cookies that were not only incredibly delicious but also beautifully executed. When we showed them an inspiration photo for our tiki-themed groom's cake, they said they had never done anything like it before but were confident they could create it, and the final result was truly amazing. Sis And Me Bakery delivered the cakes right on time and even helped us set them up, including adding the cake flowers we had provided. We were blown away by the incredible value and attention to detail they provided, and our guests raved about how delicious the cakes and cookies were. We highly recommend Sis And Me Bakery for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding dessert experience.

  • Serves Mishawaka, IN

I’m Cat, a wedding and family photographer based in Northwest Indiana and serving couples throughout Southwest Michigan and Chicago. With more than fifteen years of experience, I create timeless and heartfelt images that blend elegant portraiture with candid storytelling. My couples describe me as both their photographer and their calm guide, capturing every moment while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every love story receives my full attention.

I'm almost at a loss for words to describe how phenomenal our experience with Cat was. Our wedding day really would not have been the same without her and her team. I happened upon Cat when our DJ tagged her in an Instagram post and I immediately fell in love with her work. Her photos are so perfectly vibrant and full of life, and I knew she'd capture our special day perfectly. Her communication was always fast, kind, and informative. All of my questions were quickly answered and she was a -huge- help in getting our Day-Of timeline nailed down. I was also SO thankful for her during our engagement shoot. My poor fiance (now husband) was on call that day, and we ended up having to cut the shoot short as a result. Cat was able to get some of our new favorite pictures of us anyway, and she was so easy to work with. I want to give her, Bethany, and Jo a very special thank you for everything they did on our wedding day. As a plus size bride I was very anxious about being photographed at all, but they made me feel like a fairy princess and I'm SO in love with our pictures. They are stunning photos and we definitely shed a few happy tears over them, but aside from that, it was really just special to have these amazing humans at our wedding. Their positivity and laughter was infectious, and we received a ton of compliments on how wonderful they all were. One million out of ten, highly recommend 3

Words can’t express how tremendously thankful we are for this beautiful couple! They did an amazing job, not just on the day but all the planning before hand. They helped us with everything! And our day was so magical because of them. They did a great job being part of the action but not feeling like they were in the action if that makes sense. They made me feel good when I having a bit of a panic attack before my main entrance. They helped when our cake was still sitting there uncut from the staff late in the evening. They were just so kind and carried such good energy. It was just also such a cool touch having our untouched photos playing during the wedding! Everyone absolutely loved it. I would 100% recommend them and already have for a few people!

We cannot say enough positive things about Navarre Catering and Events. If you need a catering vendor for your wedding weekend, then Navarre is a great caterer to choose. We worked with Christine, our senior event specialist, and she did a fantastic job helping us navigate all the details of banquet event planning. We contracted Navarre for a Welcome Reception the night before the wedding and for the Wedding Reception itself, and both events were perfect! Our events happened in August 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and they still went off smoothly. Christine helped us develop a strong plan for guest and staff safety and handled all the venue coordination as well. The food and service staff were excellent at both events! Christine made the awesome suggestion to have a family style platter service for the reception meal to help maintain social distancing, and it, along with the food quality, wound up being one of the most talked about aspects of the reception that our guests LOVED! Our experience working with Christine was comfortable and we really felt like she had our best interests at heart adapting as the planning details changed due to fluid pandemic conditions. We highly recommend Navarre and Christine for your wedding event.

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and my seven harps at my website.

Anna was an absolute dream to work with and a true highlight of our daughter’s wedding day. Her harp music added an unparalleled level of elegance and beauty to our lakeside ceremony. Every note she played was flawless and filled the air with an enchanting atmosphere that our guests can’t stop raving about. From our initial communication to the day of the event, Anna was energetic, interested, professional, accommodating, and clearly passionate about her music. She worked with us to customize the playlist, incorporating our special requests seamlessly into her repertoire. From Star Wars to Taylor…..Anna’s performance, delightful personality and contribution to the ceremony was exceptional. If you’re looking for a talented musician who will elevate your event to something truly magical, look no further than Anna Hagen. Her performance was worth every penny and more. Highly recommended!

From its historical beginnings as a stoic munitions depot, The Armory experienced a beautiful transformation to showcase a sophisticated ballroom, classy built-in bar and impressive commercial kitchen. Original element of the 1928 Armory construction and subsequent Newman Recreations Center were incorporated into the even space renovation to provide the perfect blend of past and present.Iron-barred doors used to secure armers and thick concrete walls reinforced with brick to accommodate the National Guard Armory and shooting range lend a rustic industrial aesthetic. Wood from the recreation center bleachers line the dramatic bar and the orginial hardwood floor was dressed up to grace the ballroom.

We loved the wedding cake she made for us, we chose pumpkin and snickerdoodle flavorings, showed her an inspiration pic and talked about our amount of people. She delivered! The amount of cake we had was more than enough for how many attendees we had, we should have had some left over. To our surprise, there was not a single slice left! I mean we knew it was good.

They also made sure we actually had time to sit down and enjoy the food and each other, which meant everything. The entire staff went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and the venue itself is absolutely beautiful and intimate. Every penny was worth it, and we can't recommend them enough.

  • Serves Mishawaka, IN

Wedding & lifestyle photographer serving South Bend + Indianapolis, specializing in natural, vibrant, and relaxed images. I take the photos so you can relax and savor each moment, whether it’s your wedding, family photos, headshots, or other milestones. You deserve photos that reflect this season of life - the unconditional love you have for your soul mate, the new life that’s graced your body, the smiles of you and your partner on tiny little bodies made for adventure, you hard at work building the business of your dreams.

From our first conversation, Leah was prompt and organized, making the entire planning process smooth and easy. She went above and beyond by offering to attend a mass at our church the day before our wedding to familiarize herself with our traditional Catholic ceremony, which meant she could capture every angle and moment we wanted. On the big day, Leah didn't just take photos—she helped us with event details and even fixed my dress when we had a wardrobe mishap. Her dedication to getting every shot perfectly really showed, and her pricing was fair and transparent. We felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend!
