I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

I cannot recommend Destify enough especially for destination weddings! This platform made the entire wedding planning process so much easier and stress-free. We found our dream venue through their comprehensive database, complete with photos, reviews, and pricing details, which saved us countless hours of research. Not only that, but their wedding website builder (Matt H.) was an absolute lifesaver. It allowed us to design a beautiful, user-friendly site to share all the important details with our guests, including RSVP management and our registry at no cost at all. The customization options made it feel personal and unique to our wedding theme. Matt H. was so helpful and always available to assist in a timely manner. He color coded everything perfectly and uploaded all of our photos just as we wanted! We also were in touch with Destify's group leader specialist, Jasmine and her assistant Holly, quite often to help answer our questions and they helped our guests as well. They even contacted our venue when we needed some help with escalation. They were attentive, friendly, and helped ease our nerves during the waiting period. The only downside was that the terms and conditions weren’t explained very clearly during our intro call, so I’d highly recommend reading the contract carefully to avoid any confusion. For example, read the price match and transportation clause VERY carefully. That said, once we moved past that stage, the experience was wonderful. Thank you, Destify, for helping us bring our vision to life! If you’re planning a wedding, this is a must-have tool!

His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!

We chose Crimson Events for our wedding DJ and wow, what an excellent choice that was! Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5 stars!!

At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Toast & Jam and DJ Alli Klein were FANTASTIC!! Music was so incredibly important to me for our wedding and Alli understood the assignment and delivered. I had multiple people come up to me during and after our wedding and say that the music was the best they’ve ever heard at any wedding. Not to mention everything went off perfectly without a hitch. If you want a rocking dance floor and to party hard then look no further than toast and jam.

Had my wedding 10/12/24 at Bartlett Hills Golf Club and it was an absolute dream! The venue itself is beautiful. They give you the option for either indoor or outdoor ceremony spaces overlooking their lake. Outdoor ceremony space is limited to about 150 people but it was perfect for our wedding of about 125. You get access to multiple golf carts to explore the golf course for photos. Taking bridal party photos with all the autumn trees in the background made for awesome shots! There is a locked bridal suite for the ladies to get ready in or store your things for the day. However, its not the most spacious, so might be best to get ready elsewhere for parties bigger than 4 or 5 people. The reception area is open and spacious, with two bars. And diverse! They can close off areas for smaller groups, they can move the dance floor to your liking. They give you the option to customize SO MUCH. Their pricing is amazing for how all inclusive their packages are. The premium package (im not sure the exact name) offers way more than any other venue I visited or researched. And was far more affordable. It included an hour of passed hors doeuvres, an absolutely delicious dinner, open bar, all your linens, fresh flower centerpieces, an arch for your ceremony, even the cost of your cake!!! We got so many compliments on how delicious the dinner and the cake was. But what really sells this venue is Evan, the event coordinator. He is really the mastermind behind making your dream wedding a reailty. Most people say not to bank on a venue coordinator being like a real day of coordinator, but let me tell you, in the case of Evan, he is that and so much more. He is there to help every step of the way, offering advice and insight because the man clearly knows what hes doing. Also, him and his staff set up and break down ALL of your decorations. He is so helpful, friendly, and honestly just a cool guy. He even gave us the OK for our officiant/friend to do the stone cold steve austin beer smash for their reception entrance (we changed those plans, but still). Overall, I have zero negative things to say about this venue. My wedding was 110% everything I dreamed, in large part to Evan and the staff at Bartlett Hills GC. I would recommend a million times over.

Funk Almighty was no doubt the best booking we made for our wedding. The band was electric and had a sound that can only be made from a group that plays together consistently. Their old funky classics and new hits were excellently played and made the dance floor the place to be! Some of our guests said their favorite part of the reception was the band, just watching them play and entertain was a great show. From initial inquiry, to final performance, they were responsive and professional. They performed live the songs for our first dance along with the father/bride and mother/groom dances as well. Overall they are a major talent and perform a terrific set, all while remaining in budget. Let this review be the one to get you to book this band, you will not be disappointed!

Rebecca is nothing short of incredible! She was a necessity for our wedding planning process and coordination, and we all agreed hiring her was the most valuable choice we made during it. From the very first intro call where we had been speaking to a lot of new vendors, deciding what worked for us, which personalities we matched with, and beginning to understand all that it would take to pull off an incredible event, she made us feel at ease! She is an absolute professional - she keeps things very realistic, but positive, and knows how to work well with many different people in the industry. She knew when she needed to encourage them to follow up with us or something was due on our end, she was always very kind about it. We trusted her as she knew many of the vendors we would be working with and she also came with great recommendations when we weren’t sure on a vendor. She takes comprehensive notes of your conversations so that no idea or thought is forgotten and it makes you feel so valued as a client that she cares so much about your big day. Our families were equally impressed with her professionalism and care for her clients. With the coordination package, we were so much less stressed than other couples we’ve witnessed, since Rebecca handled the majority of communication amongst vendors in the month leading up to the wedding (and even was on top of it prior to taking a much deserved vacation for herself!). We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and thoroughly enjoyed it, which is everything it should be! We cannot recommend her enough and are so happy to follow her now on Instagram where we can see all the difference she’s making in other couples’ big days!

Bukky’s booth immediately caught our attention—not just because of its elegant setup, but also because of the warmth and professionalism she exuded. From the moment we began speaking with her, it was clear she had a deep passion for what she does, paired with a level of expertise that made us feel instantly at ease. One of the first things that drew us to Bukky was her cultured approach and understanding. As fellow Nigerians, we bonded over our shared background, and this connection was pivotal for us. My wife and I had always envisioned a beautiful Nigerian-American wedding, but we weren’t quite sure how to blend the two cultures seamlessly. Being the first in our immediate families to host a formal wedding, we felt a bit overwhelmed with incorporating Nigerian traditions and customs into the day. Bukky, however, understood our vision right away and reassured us that she would help us create something truly special. While we had already started gathering a few essentials for the big day, Bukky and Exquisite Events & Floral Design stepped in and took it to a whole new level. From coordinating the logistics to fine-tuning every detail, Bukky handled it all with remarkable efficiency. She didn’t just come on board as a wedding planner and designer—she became the guiding force that brought our dream wedding to life. As a groom, I was completely blown away by her attention to detail, impeccable organization, and the way she communicated every step of the process. It wasn’t just about decorations or logistics; it was about her ability to take our ideas and elevate them beyond what we ever thought possible. Bukky shattered every expectation we had, turning our vision into something truly magical. Her expertise and dedication ensured that nothing was overlooked, and her cadence and poise throughout the planning process were second to none. The day of the wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. Bukky and her team transformed our venue in a way that left us and our guests speechless. Even the venue staff remarked that they had never seen their space look the way it did that day. It was as though she had taken a blank canvas and painted the most beautiful fairytale scene. Every arrangement, every detail, every touch was executed to perfection. But beyond her incredible work, Bukky gave us something even more meaningful—family. What started as a professional relationship quickly grew into something much deeper. She genuinely cared about us, not just as clients but as individuals. Even now, long after the wedding, we still check in with her from time to time because that bond remains strong. Looking back, we are beyond grateful to have had Bukky and Exquisite Events & Floral Design by our side for one of the most important days of our lives. She didn’t just help us plan a wedding; she created an experience we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who can take your vision and make it a reality while surpassing your wildest expectations, look no further than Bukky Garcia. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to her extraordinary talent and heart.

Deneige at Alto Floral Designs was incredible to work with for our November 2024 wedding. From our first call to the big day, Alto Floral Designs offered exceptional service and clear communication. We were presented with a variety of greenery and flower options that helped bring our floral vision to life. Deneige was flexible and accommodating when we made changes to our selections a few months before the wedding. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and the greenery lush—everything lasted beautifully throughout the day. An added bonus was Alto providing all the candles and glassware we needed to complete our vision. I can't say enough good things about Deneige and Alto Floral Designs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding!

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

Our guests still to this day rave about our music and DJ! We were extremely happy with Okyne Medialab, which was a referral from our wedding planner. (I always knew that I wanted a DJ compared to a band just because of personal preference of the type of music we like.) Al hosted multiple calls us, was a phone call away with any questions, and then even attended our final walk through to determine speaker locations and overall plan. Leading up to our wedding at the Chicago History Museum, we felt confident that Okyne would execute our vision and they most certainly did. DJ Alan came dressed to impressed to our black tie wedding and was professional, yet such a fun DJ! All of our must haves were played ( any songs from our do not play list were not played haha) and played right on time. (Timing is everything!!) I highly recommend Okyne Media Lab!!

“Your DJ never missed!” & “That playlist was fire!” were just a few of the compliments we got on the night of our wedding. Norah did music for our ceremony and our reception and was fantastic to work with. We gave her only a few songs/artists and she did the rest of the magic. Our dance floor was filled the whole night. Norah is personable and so easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!
