Where do we even begin- We hired the Opal Affair for wedding Day of Coordination and it was by far the best choice (and money) for our wedding day- Kirsten and Katy made it the absolute best day of our lives!! In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge. We so appreciate the Opal Affair going above and beyond for us and our guests- They gave my husband & I such peace of mind that all the details were covered and we couldn’t have done it without you! Truly the most magical day and all thanks to The Opal Affair team!

Rusch Entertainment offers hundreds of different performing acts, all of which come backed with years of experience and positive reviews. Since our doors opened in 1971, Rusch Entertainment has been the most awarded entertainment company around, but our greatest reward is in providing you with the best possible act for your event!

We used Rusch Entertainment for our wedding on June 15th and if I could give more than 5 stars I would! Dean (the owner) was amazing to work with and continually checked in on us from the time we booked until the day of our wedding. They provide you with a music planning form which was awesome and so fun for us to plan out leading up to our wedding. The week of our wedding our DJ reached out and we went over the entire form including pronunciation of names and songs that we definitely wanted to be played and songs that we did not want to be played. DJ Garrett was incredible! The dance floor was always full and moving and he knew what to play all night to keep the dance floor going. Everything from the start of the ceremony to the end of the reception ran so smooth thanks to Garrett. We’re still hearing from our loved ones and guests how amazing our DJ was and how fun the entire night was. We highly recommend Rusch Entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ, you will not be disappointed!

  • Starts at $799
  • Serves Oakley, MI

With over 11 years of experience in bridal beauty and luxury esthetics; our approach is rooted in intention and thoughtful care. We believe every Bride's experience should feel effortless, never rushed or overwhelming, and custom-tailored to the individual woman in our chair. Alongside my carefully curated bridal team; I specialize in creating timeless, elevated looks while guiding brides through the process with clarity and ease. From preparation to the wedding day itself, our goal is simple: for you to feel supported, confident, and genuinely taken care of on one of the most important days of your life!

If there is one piece of advice I could give any bride-to-be, it would be to hire professional vendors. I know that it isn't in the budget for everyone, but having a team of experienced, talented vendors made my day so much better, and Hannah is one of those extremely talented, highly experienced, and just wonderful to work with gems that you should have on your "Team Bride". Her services are beyond excellent: gorgeous artistry, individualized foundation shades, and top of the line products with options for both airbrushed and traditional based on your goals and skin. My makeup and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful, and the makeup stayed through well over 14 hours of wear, both airbrushed and traditional. We even trekked out through the snow for some of our pictures, and at the end of the night everyone still looked flawless! Hannah gave everyone touch-up kits and the bridal kit was stuffed with anything you might need, including a full-sized powder for touch-ups which is probably one of the best I've ever used. Most importantly though, Hannah goes far above and beyond for her clients. She takes her role as part of your day seriously. Prior to the wedding, she provided a makeup trial and personalized skin care recommendations based on my skin type/needs so that my skin was healthy and glowing for my big day. On the wedding day, she got to the venue even before I did and was ready to work. Hannah is also more than willing to help out with anything you need if she can. She helped me down the stairs in my dress, carried my train to the aisle, and helped calm my nerves. She's such a fun, kind, and pleasant person to be around. I really don't think any bride should be without her on their wedding day; I know she played a big role in making my day as perfect as it could be! I absolutely give her my highest recommendation!

  • Serves Oakley, MI

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Taylor absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! From start to finish, she went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. Not only did she capture every single detail beautifully, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly — almost like a mini-wedding planner for Meghan and me. Her calm presence and organization made such a difference in helping us actually enjoy the day. Taylor’s aesthetic is stunning — a true-color, elegant style that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the moment. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos from friends and family, and even several guests commented during the wedding about how great she was to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. We were also so impressed with how quickly she delivered our preview gallery — it was such a joy to relive the day so soon after! Taylor also did our engagement photos, which she absolutely killed, and it made us even more confident that our wedding photos would be incredible (and they were!). I can’t recommend Taylor enough — she’s talented, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Taylor M Zinn Photography is the one.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Oakley, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is incredible! We had the easiest, best, most amazing experience with her for both our engagement session and wedding day. She genuinely cares and it shows through her photos! You will not regret having Lynzee on your side for your special day!

The quality of the bouquet and boutonniere were beyond words. Alaina took the vision in my head and brought it to life with her exquisite touch and creative mind. The colors, quality, and whimsical look of the bouquet truly had me speechless. The amount of compliments I received and still do receive is a representation of how beautiful her work truly is.

Featured on Anti Bride, Today show and Modern Luxury Magazine. The couple who appreciates the classic elements of a wedding, while still wanting to do something unexpected. The couple who values both the ease of the digital camera, and the iconic and everlasting impact of the film camera.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

The Milestone Barn is a premier rustic barn wedding venue in Michigan, located in beautiful Bannister, MI, just a short drive from Lansing, Saginaw, and Flint. Originally built for agricultural use and lovingly restored in 2011, our family-owned barn now serves as the perfect setting for barn weddings, receptions, proms, and other milestone celebrations. When the owners began planning their own rustic wedding, they discovered how difficult it could be to find an affordable, charming barn venue that truly captured that rustic Michigan feel. Their search inspired the transformation of their family barn into The Milestone Barn, a space designed to bring that same dream to life for other couples, without the high price tag. Since opening our doors in 2011, we’ve continued to grow and improve every year. We listen to feedback from our brides and grooms, updating the property and adding new features while preserving the authentic rustic charm that makes The Milestone Barn so special.

The Milestone Barn is PERFECT. Lets dive in. I was a bride on September 16th, and it was all my dreams come true. Carolyn, the owner of the venue was extremely clear and informative about her rules and expectations of the barn so there was ZERO misunderstandings. She communicated everything perfectly, and really helped us out with the planning process and making everything work for us. She was so kind, personable and helpful. The venue ITSELF, was perfect. I had a wedding of 130 people and it fit everyone accordingly and comfortably. My pictures turned out amazing because of the beautiful barn, the decorations and scenery. Everything about this venue was beautiful and it really made me fall in love all over again on my wedding day. It had plenty of room to get ready too, us girls were a MESS hehe. But I have ZERO complaints. It was perfect.

We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

Dow Diamond was the perfect venue. The entire staff was so kind and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the uniqueness and impressiveness of the venue. It was so convenient that they do in-house catering. The food was delicious! Dave made sure everything ran smoothly and nothing went wrong. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our wedding.
