Shannon O'Brien 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $1,000 per person
  • Serves Park Forest, IL

Shannon and her team explore the captivating world of shape and color from a place of openness and expertise, with the conviction that beauty isn’t meant to be covered up, it’s meant to be celebrated. Creating looks for you to transcend without transforming who you are on your big day.

One of the FIRST pieces of advice I had when I got engaged was to hire Shannon O'Brien. And easily, that was one of the BEST pieces of advice I had. I booked her before I had any other information about my wedding at my fingertips. I was too afraid that if I didn't get her locked down right away, that I'd always have wished I did that first and foremost. Shannon is truly delightful. She comes ready to work with a smile and a suitcase full of cosmetics more organized than some makeup stores. She is a true artist and works everyone's face like a canvas- she can make anyone look like a complete goddess. I hired her to do my makeup, as well as my bridal party, mother, and mother-in-law and EVERYONE left saying that they haven't looked that good EVER. I know you're supposed to wash your face every night before bed ESPECIALLY when you have makeup on, but I have to say that I was very hesitant to listen to that rule- both times she did my makeup (after the trial and after the wedding). I've truly never felt or looked better and it was all in part to her makeup magic. She is a makeup wizard and her wand is a brush. Another great thing is, she allows you to give input. She lets you tell her how you feel best, what you think looks best on you, to bring in pictures of inspiration looks- and then she also gives you suggestions. She told me to expect that things may shift a little on the wedding day, as things like a tan, etc can change some of the makeup that may not have been done exactly at the trial. The look she did for my wedding wasn't a far cry from the trial, but I loved it even more! After seeing my hair and the whole look for the day, she felt inspired to do something a little different and there's nobody I'd blindly trust more with their makeup work than Shannon. In fact, if she never said a thing about what she planned to do and just went to town on my face, I'd have been thrilled. She's just THAT good. Aside from her amazing talent and artistry is her attitude. A HUGE thing for me was having a positive feeling in the room as I was preparing for the day. Someone that would add radiance and she did just that. Her disposition is sunny and she made everyone feel like the most beautiful person (inside and out). She brings an air of fun to the room, which, of course, is always welcome. Trust me on this, you'll be looking for any excuse after your wedding to have her do your makeup again. Just book her- there is no way you'll regret it.

Hi! We are Mark and Ligia Chiu- a Chicago based photography/videography husband/wife team. I started Ligia Chiu Photography about 10 years ago when I was searching for a creative outlet during my very science courses of pharmacy school. What started as a simple hobby capturing moments for my close friends, soon blossomed into something more profound and my passion for photography has grown steadily over the years.

Ligia Chiu did an amazing job on my wedding day! The photos came out beautifully and I love looking at them daily in my home! She was professional and very clear on how to pose. I would recommend her 100% for any wedding!

Tequila Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Park Forest, IL

Thank you for stopping by and looking through my work. I approach wedding photography with two philosophies: One is to be photo-journalistic. Capturing those unexpected moments, a flirty glance, a secret kiss or a burst of laughter. These are the small details and intimate moments that tell your story. My other philosophy is to be editorial. To direct, compose, and create interesting shots. These are the pictures that will be high-impact, dramatic and creative. Although I have a photo-journalistic approach throughout the day, I understand the importance of formal family pictures. So, be assured we will get all of those as well.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cesar's has been serving the City of Chicago for over 30 years, our website is killermargaritas.com. When we met Abel ( Tequila Weddings ) we knew it would be a great business opportunity since our signature drinks have Tequila. We've partnered with him for small intimate weddings, showers and bridal parties. It's always a pleasure to work with him. We host various vendors at both locations but by far he is the best and easiest to work with. if possible we would only partner with Tequila Weddings. His professionalism is unmatched and his enthusiasm for his clients is unparalleled!

AJ Abelman Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Park Forest, IL

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?

Oh my GAWWWD! AJ is the BEST. Like seriously - hire her right this second! I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for the way that she shows up as a person and as a photographer. I am the more extroverted of my partnership and AJ did an incredible job making my partner feel at ease during our engagement shoot and our first look. She knows exactly what to say to get a nice photo that doesn’t read like “I’m being forced to take pictures”. From Day 1 (honestly, even before we hired AJ), we knew what to expect. She is communicative and easy to get a hold of. After a brief “get to know you” session, she builds three personalized packages based on what you’re looking for (and the names of each package are the best part…just you wait). Engagement Shoot: Our engagement shoot was so fun! AJ gave us a few suggestions and we ended up taking photos in and near the Montrose Bird Sanctuary. Talk about a GORGEOUS spot for photos. AJ is a great conversation maker and makes those who are less comfortable taking photos feel at ease. Her direction during our session made for spectacular photos (which we used for our save the dates and got lots of compliments on). We got sneak peeks within a day or two and the full gallery was high quality. Wedding Day: The package we selected was for 10 hours of service. AJ showed up early to where I was getting ready. Her second shooter was with my partner. Both of them were lovely during the day and brought positive, calm vibes for the duration of the day. The combination of posed and candid “getting ready” shots were well balanced. Our first look was at Garfield Park Conservatory and she and her second shooter did a great job communicating with each other so that my partner and I didn’t accidentally cross paths until it was “go time”. AJ is a great people wrangler - she made sure that our shots at Garfield Park were just us and communicated with other guests to make these shots happen. When we got to our venue, AJ and her second shooter got through our family portraits with haste so that my partner and I could relax before our ceremony. I was blown away by our sneak peeks, which we got several days after our wedding. Hiring AJ will be one of the best decisions you make for your big day.

Lisa and her team are, hands down, the best group of people I have ever met and would hire them 100% again and again. Lisa ensured she understood what our vision was by asking thorough and detailed questions. She went above and beyond contacting our venue and all necessary vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. If there was ever an issue, she solved it without worrying us. And the day of our wedding, several of our guests informed us how amazing her and her teams’ service, professionalism, and how invested she is… not to mention how delicious all the food was, requiring seconds and thirds!!! There aren’t enough words to explain how phenomenal Lisa and her team are and how if it weren’t for Lisa, we wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams come true.

We had the Front of House band from Arlen Music Productions play at our wedding in April, and they were absolutely fantastic! From professional musicians who attended, to the grandmas... everyone was ecstatic in their feedback. We had an incredible time dancing and singing all night long. The band exceeded our expectations with their surprises and delights throughout the evening. Even the sound engineers were top-notch, and we appreciated their flexibility with our (numerous) playlists during downtime. The whole group handled everything with precision and grace. David was an amazing master of ceremonies, creating a genuine connection with us and perfectly understanding how we wanted the night to unfold. His attention to detail and ability to read the crowd made the evening unforgettable. Special shoutout to the keyboardist who played our ceremony, he was phenomenal and nailed all of our requests. Thank you, Front of House band, for an unforgettable celebration. Everything was on time and on point, making for a night we'll never forget (even if parts are a bit fuzzy!).

Words cannot express enough how lucky we felt to have Anna as our wedding photographer! Not only she felt like a true friend before, during, and after the big day, but also she created photos that we immediately printed in the largest possible size to proudly display on our new home walls. Love her creativity, sense of humor, and making us feel so relaxed (we are not camera people ;)) She helped with the wedding planning process too! What also stands out is her style - we didn't want the photos that have muted or too bright colors, so her lively style was exactly what we were looking for. I have never felt so beautiful as she made us all look, and everyone is raving about our photos :) Best wedding decision! Don't wait too long, book her now!!!

Jewell Events Catering

  • Caterer
  • Serves Park Forest, IL

We know you dream of an extraordinary wedding day. Let Jewell Weddings help make that dream come true. The beauty of a Jewell wedding is legendary. Whether simply stated or extravagant, every wedding we cater has the signature Jewell Weddings style, that “step beyond,” which has set us apart for decades. Our consultants are passionate about entertaining, combining creativity and expertise, so that even the smallest detail is not forgotten. With a knowledge of Chicago special events, extending beyond just weddings, we will make sure that everything, down to the last fork, fits your style.

My (now husband) and I booked with Jewell Events Catering probably a year and a half before our wedding. During that 1.5 years, we spoke regularly with Greg Jenkins (President), Hailey, and Maria (the Jewell Catering team) and I can not verbalize enough how helpful, involved and willing to go the extra mile they all were. Greg truthfully felt like an additional day-of-coordinator the way he helped us create our table design, source beautiful chargers and draping, discuss the timeline of the day, and get into the nitty-gritty details of every.single.aspect of the day. Not to mention the food is UNBELIEVABLE. Everyone complimented are food and I'm not shocked it was perfect based on the incredibly attention to detail Greg has. Everything (and I mean to the crumb) is under a microscope with Greg team, which makes the end product better than you could imagine. There are not many vendors that you leave the wedding planning process feeling like you are REAL friends, but with Greg and the Jewell Catering team, both my husband and I are genuinely sad to no longer have regular planning meetings with them! Greg team will show up to the venue with multiple-onsite walkthroughs, coordinate with the venue to resolve issues, and will handle last minute external issues without it coming to us so we can be blissfully happy on our special day. I never really leave reviews, but I HAD to leave a review for this team as they were the shining star of our vendor list without question. It's also worth mentioning we looked at 10 caterers for our event and could not be HAPPIER with our choice to go with Jewell. A Chicago wedding is overwhelming and exhausting to plan, but Jewell made it so much easier. Do not question it and do not price shop (believe me we did and it's a waste of time as they are aligned pricing wise with other lower-service options) - BOOK JEWELL EVENTS CATERING.

I cannot say enough good things about Carolyn and Matthew. Out of all the vendors we worked with during our wedding, they were our favorite by a landslide. Both of them made us feel so comfortable from day one and you can tell they really CARE about what they do and they really care about the people they work with. They made our day so special! Looking back at the photos over 6 months later I am still blown away by how beautiful / perfect they are. They captured the emotion of the day so perfectly and we will be forever grateful!

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot.

I was a bit hesitant of picking something that was a team because I was worried it wouldn't be personal and I wouldn't be cared for because there was no connection. I was so wrong! The team that I had of my two videographers day of were so cool. They were like this comforting presence I had around me all day that were fun to talk to but also just totally in the background not giving me any hassle. The team shot an amazing video, and even with some weird mic issues during the ceremony they somehow edited it like nothing ever happened. I have this beautiful video that captured my most special moments of the day all thanks to Blush and Briar.

Your wedding or elopement is one full of raw moments, and it is our job to weave these together cohesively. We always approach each film with a detail-oriented eye, considering you, the film, the composition, the audio, the lighting, and everything in between, to ensure we achieve a comprehensive film with an emotional impact. It is also a priority of ours that your film resonates with your spirit. That it represents you, your story, your love, and your style authentically. That's why we get to know you and your partner well and cater to your preferred look.

My husband and I recently got married in December, 2023. I'm so grateful we hired Rick and his team to be our videographer!! I would highly recommend using them. Rick was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. We set up a few calls while being engaged to prepare for the day. He also worked really well with our photographer to gameplan for the day. This was HUGE because they were able to work together to obtain all the shots needed and didn't step on each other's toes. Rick put together a 2 minute clip of the day, and I watch it everyday! The shots he chose and the music he tied with it was so meaningful. It was a perfect video to showcase the day. I shared it on social media. He also put together a full 45 minute video of the day that includes special events and speeches of the day, so we won't forget anything special that happened! Again, we are so grateful we worked with Rick. He captures all the special moments and now we have his work to look back on the wonderful day! Thank you!

We used Erin's wedding management services and can confidently say it was some of the best money spent for our wedding! Erin was great at communicating throughout the entire process and her expertise was invaluable in the months leading up to our wedding day. The actual day was seamless thanks to Erin and her team and we both agreed there is no way the wedding planning process would've gone so smoothly without her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Erin was on top of things and she was always responsive to us and our entire vendor team. I never felt like any question or request was out of her scope and she was overall such a great person to work with. We would highly recommend using Your Day with EK to anyone considering a wedding planner or day-of coordinator!

I highly recommend Nina for your bridal and bridal party makeup! Nina is incredibly skilled and passionate about the work she does. She asks thoughtful questions to make sure she understands not just how you want to look on your wedding day, but how you want to feel as well. She has an unmatched ability to accentuate your natural features and make you feel like a completely polished and glowing version of yourself. Not to mention, her personality and spirit are contagious. I felt so comfortable throughout our trial, and Nina made it so easy to ask questions and collaborate on how I felt about each step. I personally wanted my makeup on the natural side, and Nina was able to give me the exact look I hoped for--glowy and radiant while still looking like myself. On the day of the wedding, my bridal party was raving about Nina as well. Everyone felt exactly like I did about their makeup--they looked and felt beautiful and confident and felt that Nina was incredible to work with. Even my friends who do not usually wear any makeup loved working with Nina and felt that she really heard what they were asking for, and they all felt so beautiful! I am eternally grateful I was connected to Nina for my bridal makeup. If you have a chance to work with her, run don't walk! I will be using her for any event I need makeup for in the future!

Brooke Alaina Photography

I've been photographing weddings now for over a decade, and if I'm being totally honest with you, I had expected to burn out on this gig years ago. Instead, here I am still falling more deeply in love with it -- with those hugs and big laughs and tears and nervous jitters, and all the big and little moments that make up your days. Every second of it feels so special to me, and the fact that I get to capture that will never cease to blow my mind and fill me with gratitude.

We absolutely loved Brooke!! She was able to efficiently get people where they needed to be on the day of. Her documentary style makes you feel at ease and you’ll still get those perfectly posed moments too. She was so helpful placing accessories and flowers for the perfect shot. As the bride, i felt less stressed when Brooke took ahold of the day. We can’t thank her enough!!

We hired SRO for our wedding in August 2024, and had a great experience! Leading up to the big day, they were always quick to respond to emails, answered every question I had, and provided excellent recommendations for songs when I had trouble deciding. On the day of the wedding, Kara was an awesome emcee, and the band was wonderful! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and many of our guests commented on how great the music was. If you're looking to book SRO, you won't be disappointed! (Photos by Colin Lyons Photography)
