“From the start, our experience with An English Garden Wedding & Event Florals was professional, friendly, and very responsive. The flowers they provided were fresh and beautiful, perfectly complementing our wedding's color scheme. The centerpieces were stunning without overpowering the tables, and the flower girl's basket with the delicate petal pouches was a lovely touch. Kim, the owner, took the time to get to know us and our vision, offering thoughtful suggestions while also listening to our ideas. The only aspect that didn't quite meet our expectations were the bouquets, which were a bit too heavy with long green stems, making them difficult to hold during the ceremony and photos. Overall, An English Garden Wedding & Event Florals played a crucial role in bringing our wedding day to life in a beautiful and memorable way.”

DJ NickyVon is musically diverse and skilled in many aspects of DJing. Having graduated from Scratch DJ Academy, Chicago, he's extremely dedicated and immersed in the DJ community. Having grown up in the 90's he couldn't help but fall in love with hip-hop, but that also played an important part as he learned to explore other genres like, rock, house music, and funk. His diverse music knowledge allows him to blend in any type of environment. Brands such as Match.com and State Farm have trusted him to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for some of their events.

“Kelvon was always professional, and very easy to get ahold of and talk to. His online portal was super easy to use and he stuck to the must play and dont play songs. I also wanted to teach a few easy line dances at the wedding instead of doing the typical electric slide. I was able to use his mic and teach the guests a few easy steps. All the music flowed super seamlessly into the next song.”

“Where to begin! Cylee was recommended to my husband and I through our amazing Dj at 3rd Shift Djs. She proved to be just as fantastic! We met with her regarding month-of planning services, and she definitely delivered. As a pretty spastic person that isn't the biggest fan of planning, I knew I needed someone that could keep me in line when it came to getting final details together and communicate with my vendors. Cylee came and proved why she is the best at her job! She kept us organized, was available via text, facetime, google meetings, etc whenever we needed something. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. I was completely unaware what time it was all day, able to stay in the moment because she was on top of everything and kept us on schedule. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, she cares deeply about her job and the folks she works with, and she has a keen eye for the details. My husband and I had the best day ever, and Cylee is a huge reason why! If you're looking for someone to help make your day as magical as mine, she's exactly who you're looking for!!! We love her!”

I moved to the Aurora / Naperville area in 2016 from Los Angeles, California. While living in L.A. for 17 years, I organized and managed events for countless affairs on behalf of the biggest names in the industry. I made the move back to the Midwest to get closer to my roots, be near loved ones and to start my own business doing what I truly love and excel in – making a bride’s dream a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you are looking for a wedding planner, you have found it. The single best thing I did for my wedding was hire Amy and HEA events to plan it. I just got married at the Adler Planetarium this weekend, and Amy & HEA events is the reason it happened. When I began my wedding planning process, I knew immediately I would need a planner. I was going to have a large 200 person wedding, and I knew I wanted it to be a grand event. I talked with over 10 different planners, and could not find anyone that felt "right", until I talked to Amy. From the minute we talked on the phone, I knew she was the best planner. She was sweet, yet honest, organized, and had a very impressive history of planned weddings. As a very "type A" bride, I was worried that no one would take my wedding as seriously as I did, and I was so wrong. I ALWAYS felt like Amy made my wedding a priority. In the two years leading up to my wedding, she reached out to all vendors, compared pricing, read through every contract, told me where to spend my money and what was a waste. She problem solved the smallest of things that only I noticed/ cared about, and never made me feel like something was silly or too over the top. She sat through every vendor meeting with me, took notes on everything that was said, and remembered every detail that I couldn't keep track of! She came to my tasting and gave her expert opinion on which foods to go with and why. She sent payment reminders, communicated with vendors constantly, helped me make decisions when I just couldn't make any more. However, the real testament of not only Amy's work, but also her character, came on the wedding weekend. During the rehearsal, Amy came with print outs for the entire party and family that clearly explained the timeline of the weekend. She ran the rehearsal so seamlessly. With the weather constantly changing, we had a day- of backup plan, but hoped we wouldn't need it. Then, on the wedding day, before an entirely outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, we had a very difficult and stressful hour before the ceremony. As the rain continued to pour, Amy did everything in her power to reassure me and calm me down. I never felt any type of stress or concern from her. She was always calm and collected, and did everything in her power to make my wedding happen the way we had planned it. The weather cleared with just a few minutes to spare, and SOMEHOW, Amy and her team pulled off what was nothing short of a wedding day miracle, and we were able to still have the ceremony outside (and on time, might I add!!). Throughout the wedding night, Amy made sure to deal with any issue, handle difficult extended family members, and ensure that the night went off without a hitch. I can sincerely say that without Amy, my wedding would not have been everything I wanted it to be and more. I am going to miss getting to work with Amy every day. With Amy, you're not just getting an exceptional planner with years of experience and unmatched expertise that she brings to the table. You're also getting a friend, an older sister to tell you what to do, someone you can rely on when the stress of a wedding feels too great, and a metaphorical (and sometimes literal) bodyguard/ protector to shield you from vendors, crazy family members, and emotional distress LOL. Do yourself the biggest favor, and hire Amy & HEA events for your wedding or event.”

“It was absolutely wonderful having 3rd Coast Live play at our wedding. From our very first conversation, Kelly and Dorothy were communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, which took so much stress off our plate during planning. They really took the time to understand the vibe we were aiming for, and translated that into such a cool experience for us and our guests. We wanted songs from some of our favorite videogames (Skyrim, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed) worked into the ceremony, and they perfectly adapted those tracks to be played live before the ceremony. Several people mentioned it afterward as one of the most memorable touches of the day. Day-of coordination was completely seamless. They were locked in with our timeline, adjusted smoothly when small things shifted, and never once made us feel like we needed to manage them. Not only could they handle the classics, but they also have the skills to take something unconventional and make it feel elevated. I cannot recommend 3rd Coast Live enough.”

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Christina went above and beyond to make our engagement session perfect, and I am so excited to have her photograph our upcoming wedding in May 2026.”

“Niko was absolutely great to work with! We did our engagement photos with him. We were able to go to the location we wanted, even though we had to hike to get to a few locations and he carried his gear with no complaint while making conversation. Our photos turned out amazing and I can not wait to see what we can capture at our wedding! Thank you so much Niko!!”

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

“Karl Knutson's Band Or Dj? Get Both! was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Karl was clear about what he could offer and flexible when we needed to adjust our plans. During cocktail hour, his singing was a standout moment—our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented he is. He kept the energy high throughout the night while also helping our speeches flow naturally without any awkward transitions. Karl's combination of live vocals and DJ skills meant we didn't have to hire two separate people, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We'd recommend him to any couple looking to get the best of both worlds.”

“Stems and Petals is an absolute pleasure to work with for any wedding including the Farmhouse. Their communication style was responsive, creative, and calming throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly meaningful, beautiful, and creative. One instance that stands out is when another florist didn't make it in time for the ceremony, and Stems & Petals stepped in right away to get the bridal party flowers delivered within two hours! They went above and beyond to ensure that special day was perfect. I would highly recommend Stems and Petals to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and dedicated wedding florist.”

I am a professional photographer and artist based in Lockport, IL. I own Two Birds Photography and I've been photographing weddings and families for about 20 years. I'm a sensitive nature guy who loves to talk to trees, pick up rocks, and put my hands in running water. I'm good natured, goofy in my own way, introspective, and intuitive. Along with my partner, our house is full of love with four boys, three cats, and dog. I like to create art, make things with my hands, work with plants in a garden, go on hikes, explore the world, talk one-on-one with people, and I like to laugh.

“Since day 1, Jake was incredibly easy to work with. He was communicative, professional, kind, and made the entire process feel effortless. We chose a package that included a 1-hour engagement session and brought our pups, Lily & Layla. He was amazing with them and did such a great job incorporating them into our photos. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly. Jake even arrived slightly early to the hotel and immediately sprung into action. From meeting us at our main photo location to guiding us through poses, he made us feel comfortable and confident the entire day. He captured our ceremony and reception beautifully, and even took us out for sunset photos — which I am SO glad he did. We just received our preview gallery and are absolutely blown away by how beautiful the photos are so far. We are beyond excited to see the rest. We truly could not recommend Jake more!”
