Brooke & The Nice Things 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Park Ridge, IL

A co-founder and lead singer of the group, Brooke began the pursuit of her musical and stage career at a very early age. At 18, Brooke moved to New York City where she continued her education in music and theater. She moved to Chicago in 2011 and quickly collaborated with others who shared her love of soul and R&B music to create the familiar soulful, but unique sound of Brooke & The Nice Things. Brooke’s stage presence is surpassed only by her voice, which ranges from deep and gritty to sweet and soothing, not unlike what Brooke would tell you she will demand in her dressing room when she hits it big - whiskey and puppies…

Hiring Brooke and the Nice Things for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Steve and the band were so easy to work with start to finish. At the wedding, their music kept the dance floor full all the way until the final song, and then through the encore as the crowd was chanting for more! They easily gained another hundred fans at our wedding. They were engaging the entire night, and so communicative leading up to the wedding to make sure the night and performance were all we were hoping for. They made our night so magical and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a live band at their wedding!

Lindsey’s Ice Cream serves up small-batch, Asian-American ice cream flavors with a nostalgic twist. From cozy backyard vows to modern downtown receptions, we’re all about adding that extra sprinkle of fun.

I am so grateful for Lindsey’s Ice Cream! Lindsey was communicative about logistics, pricing, and options while being friendly and personable. Her planning and foresight allowed my private event to go on without a hitch, and the attendees loved her unique flavors (what I wouldn’t give for the strawberry jam matcha ice cream as I write this…yum!!!). I highly recommend hiring her for any event (especially events that will be attended by people you like). I will definitely be a long-time patron and am already planning the next event!

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

Ashley Hamm Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Park Ridge, IL

Hi, I'm Ashley! A Chicago wedding photographer with a love for capturing fun-loving and adventurous couples. From the I do’s to the epic dance moves, it’s my passion to capture authentic and candid moments created and inspired by one-of-a-kind couples! My process is simple. Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

Ashley is incredible and we cannot recommend her enough! As an LGBQT couple we were looking for someone who not only make us feel comfortable but understood posing for a same sex couple. Starting from our initial kick-off call to our engagement shoot and through our wedding day Ashley was nothing short of amazing! She made us feel at ease and like someone we had known for a lifetime. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to picking out a location and poses for our shoots during our engagement session and wedding day. Ashley was prompt, patient, understanding and brought a much needed sense of calm on our wedding day itself. Let's face it, weddings always have a curveball and Ashley was able to go with the flow and help my husband and I feel immediately at ease while still capturing the day. Every photo delivery we would receive, was better than the last. We thought we couldn't be happier after seeing our engagement session and then we received the photos from our wedding day. Ashley captured not only our special moments of the day but the details (flowers, table settings, bar set up, guest book set up etc.) and we couldn't be happier. Quality service, quality photos, quality across the board. At the end of the day Ashley feels like family and that's more than we could have ever asked for!

Established in 2000, DJ-Chicago has set the standard for the DJ industry in Chicago for the past 25 years. Since our inception, our number one priority has been simple, to meet or exceed our client’s expectations for their event entertainment.

As the groom I was responsible for the music. I interviewed several DJs and was impressed with DJ-Chicago. Nick, owner, was service oriented and was flexible with options. Nearing the wedding, Nick was focused on announcements and walk-in songs. At the reception, Nick was great at keeping the crowd dancing and sticking to our playlist options.

Her meticulous organization and thoughtful approach ensured every event felt cohesive, stress-free, and perfectly tailored to us. On the wedding day, Tionna’s incredible designer eye and attention to detail truly shined. I had several dress changes, and she managed everything flawlessly, ensuring I could enjoy the moment without worry. When we decided the day of the wedding to move the reception indoors due to the heat, Tionna handled the transition with ease. She even made a great adjustment to better incorporate our cocktail hour space, creating a seamless flow that our guests raved about. Tionna’s calm demeanor, quick thinking, and ability to coordinate with the resort team made every aspect of the weekend unforgettable. If you’re considering a destination wedding, look no further—Tionna and Wedicity are the dream team you need.

I was really nervous about my first time having professional pictures taken of me after hearing all of the horror stories but Justin made it such a comfortable experience and fun. He even took the time to show us our pictures in his camera and would hype us up as the day went on. He spoke to us before certain things and kind of set the stage for the moment if you will for example my mother came over to zip my dress and for some reason she was crying as she was doing it…. I was thinking it was solely because of the moment alone but No…. She says “the photographer told me to think about how beautiful you are and how proud I am of you” We both cried like babies. I was impressed with Justin’s skills of understanding the temperature around him, especially with my crazy family lol. I will only recommend Just Focused Weddings anytime a friend or family member says they have are newly engaged.

"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Nicole to host a client event at the venue I oversee, and I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Nicole is committed to providing a flawless experience. She was incredibly meticulous in ensuring every aspect of the client’s needs was met, going above and beyond by visiting the venue multiple times to ensure everything was perfectly planned and executed. Nicole provided us with clear, detailed timelines, set realistic expectations, and maintained seamless, constant communication throughout the entire process. Her proactive approach ensured that every detail was thoughtfully considered, from vendor coordination to event flow. As someone who manages a large portfolio of bookings, I truly appreciated how Nicole flawlessly handled all the details, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Her ability to stay calm and collected while managing the event was truly impressive. The event itself was an absolute hit, and our team had a fantastic time hosting both Nicole and her client. It was a pleasure working alongside her, and I look forward to many more future collaborations!

Wildman BT is a great, unique space in Chicago for a wedding! Michelle, Valentina, and the Wildman BT team were great at bringing our vision to life. My husband and I wanted to host a cocktail style reception. Neither of us had been to a wedding like this before but Wildman BT helped us decide on chair counts, station placement, and floor plan layout to encourage the vibe we were going for. We love the openness of the space, media wall, and beautiful bathrooms!

It is hard to put into words just how extraordinary my wedding was at the CAA. The catering team made the planning process such an enjoyable one and I had complete trust in each person involved. The ballrooms are unlike any in the city: elegant and historic with gorgeous views. We had our ceremony and reception in the White City Ballroom, overlooking Millennium Park and the lake. The Executive Chef and Pastry Chef are extremely inventive and I can assure you that this is not your typical hotel wedding plated dinner. The tasting was such a fun day and it became so clear that I had picked the right venue for my wedding. The team made us feel so special and personalized the whole experience for us. My wedding guests are still gushing over the dinner months later! They also offer table-side choice of entree and synchronized service, which was truly incredible to watch! The servers were so dedicated to proving the best service. The Director of Banquets and Banquet Manager went over the top to make sure this was a stress free day for me. I never had to worry about a thing! We had an after party in the Game Room. It was great to have such a fun spot to go after the wedding...in the same building. My guests loved it! I am so grateful for the whole team at the CAA for making my wedding a dream come true!

I am a professional wedding photographer and found that working with Elizabeth in the capacity of wedding coordinator was overall a great experience! She was very professional and prompt with her communication and her actions on day-of were nothing less than above the bar!! It was my first time working with Liz and I found that she knew the right questions to ask me (as the photographer) and how to make it a great and easy experience for the couple. I was and am very pleased and put them immediately on the referral list for preferred vendors because of how great they were to work with! 10 out of 10 would recommend and cannot wait to work with them in the future!
