Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

Established in 2009, Elevated Events actually began as a company called MWES Weddings. After a decade in the wedding industry and a global pandemic giving us some time on our hands, we formally rebranded into the company you see today. As you grow and learn, it is only natural to develop a better sense of who you are as a company and that's just what happened to us. With that, we are so proud to introduce you to elevated events!

Elevated Events did a fabulous job decorating our reception and running our photo booth! Kourtney, the client relations manager, was attentive and answered all of my questions. We got uplighting throughout the reception space to keep the vibes intimate with soft lighting. It was perfect since our venue mainly had windows along the perimeter. Kourtney offered several options to customize our photo booth and our guests loved that they got several copies. We ended up getting a boxwood wall through them and they hung up our neon sign with our last name. My husband and I adored looking through the photo booth scrapbook, which doubled as our guest book. We greatly appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail.

Inspiring Experiences With A Lifetime Of Memories! The Perfect Compliment To Your Wedding Reception! We offer a Complete Entertainment Package from a Seven Piece Band to a Twelve Piece Orchestra. We also provide Ceremony Musicians, Emcee Services, and a variety of Performance Packages for any size Wedding Reception. Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Com Hey lovely couples! 💍✨ I’m Justice, a Northern IL photographer passionate about capturing cinematic, true-to-color love stories with warmth and authenticity. I specialize in storytelling through the little moments—the teary-eyed vows, wild dance moves, and quiet hand squeezes when no one’s looking. My goal? To give you timeless images that let you relive every emotion, every time you look back. My wedding packages start at $1,400, include engagement sessions, and feature stunning keepsakes like fine art albums and crystal prints. All are fully customizable, with payment plans available!

From the moment we reached out to Bare Essence, we were impressed by their consistent, fast, and articulate communication style. Their genuine passion for their work shone through in every interaction. The quality of their photography is truly exceptional - creative, emotional, timeless, thoughtful, and thorough. Justice went above and beyond, researching poses and styles that would suit us perfectly. As a more casual couple, I trusted her creative vision, and I'm so glad I did. The resulting photos are absolute works of art that beautifully capture one of the most special times of our lives. Justice also made sure to incorporate personal touches that reflected our unique story, creating classic shots as well as fun, lighthearted ones. Her attention to detail in every aspect of our wedding day was truly outstanding. We are overjoyed with the timeless memories Bare Essence has given us.
