Awarded Best of Zola
if you’re anything like i was and you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take this as your sign. i was very adamant that a wedding planner did not fit into our budget. i had been stalking cylee’s social medias and was so jealous that i couldn’t have her. since im stubborn, i began to attempt to plan the wedding by myself. i remember thinking to myself “how hard could this be?” my question was quickly answered when i had 37 vendors emailing me the next morning. we ended up hiring cylee, thinking she would “just be a wedding planner.” we were quickly proved wrong. cylee has turned into a friend. she has seen me at my best, my worst, and everything inbetween that. the amount of mental breakdowns she talked me through while we attempted to fix my flowers, make my seating chart, guest drama, etc. cylee sat with me for 8 hours…yes you read that right!!! she sat with me for EIGHT HOURS building my arch florals, welcome sign florals, and fixing my bouquets. cylee hand made everything from my save the dates, invites, seating chart, bar signs, everything!!! she even helped my maid of honor with my wedding shower. i have told everyone in my life, and now i’ll tell all of you who are stalking her page and reading her reviews, cylee is the best decision i made throughout the process of getting married (besides my husband, of course). she knew what i wanted before i did, she knew what vendors to say no to, what vendors to show me, and even had special insights and relationships with each vendor. fitting her into our budget actually ended up saving us money due to her expertise in being able to make every dream i had come true. she is a true gift to the wedding industry and to this world. our wedding night was more perfect than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without cylee.

3rd Coast Live is an ensemble band based in Chicago, IL, that provides live music for weddings, rehearsal dinner, and corporate events. These talented team members can incorporate an array of instruments for your special day, including cello, violin, piano, guitar, harp, you name it! They will customize their set list to match your favorite genres, whether you prefer classic composers or instrumental renditions of Top 40 hits. 3rd Coast Live knows that each couple is different, and work to create a personal soundtrack that best reflects the newlywed’s unique connection.

It was absolutely wonderful having 3rd Coast Live play at our wedding. From our very first conversation, Kelly and Dorothy were communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, which took so much stress off our plate during planning. They really took the time to understand the vibe we were aiming for, and translated that into such a cool experience for us and our guests. We wanted songs from some of our favorite videogames (Skyrim, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed) worked into the ceremony, and they perfectly adapted those tracks to be played live before the ceremony. Several people mentioned it afterward as one of the most memorable touches of the day. Day-of coordination was completely seamless. They were locked in with our timeline, adjusted smoothly when small things shifted, and never once made us feel like we needed to manage them. Not only could they handle the classics, but they also have the skills to take something unconventional and make it feel elevated. I cannot recommend 3rd Coast Live enough.

Lauren was a dream to work with! I went into planning not even thinking about hiring a day of coordinator - but l am so glad I did! My venue recommended it and after doing some research I found I Do Memorable Occasions. Lauren listened to all of my requests and feedback, was extremely accommodating, and matched me with the perfect person. Christina was amazing and to any bride on the fence about getting a day of coordinator I say -DO IT! It was 100% worth the investment (which was reasonable compared to a lot of other vendors) and allowed me to enjoy my day while limiting the stress. I was able to be fully present and have a go to person for anything I needed on my big day and I fully contribute that to her! She even checked into our hotel for us and packed up all the decor into my car so that at the end of the night my new hubby and I could directly leave, allowing both our families to also enjoy every moment with us. When we got to the hotel we were welcomed with a gift and photos taken by our coordinator throughout the day which was so nice because we still haven't gotten anything back from our photographer yet! I am so so so glad that I decided to not only book a coordinator, but specifically I Do Memorable Occasions. Thank you for helping me bring my dreams to life and making the most important day of my life as low stress and perfect as can be! 3

I moved to the Aurora / Naperville area in 2016 from Los Angeles, California. While living in L.A. for 17 years, I organized and managed events for countless affairs on behalf of the biggest names in the industry. I made the move back to the Midwest to get closer to my roots, be near loved ones and to start my own business doing what I truly love and excel in – making a bride’s dream a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a wedding planner, you have found it. The single best thing I did for my wedding was hire Amy and HEA events to plan it. I just got married at the Adler Planetarium this weekend, and Amy & HEA events is the reason it happened. When I began my wedding planning process, I knew immediately I would need a planner. I was going to have a large 200 person wedding, and I knew I wanted it to be a grand event. I talked with over 10 different planners, and could not find anyone that felt "right", until I talked to Amy. From the minute we talked on the phone, I knew she was the best planner. She was sweet, yet honest, organized, and had a very impressive history of planned weddings. As a very "type A" bride, I was worried that no one would take my wedding as seriously as I did, and I was so wrong. I ALWAYS felt like Amy made my wedding a priority. In the two years leading up to my wedding, she reached out to all vendors, compared pricing, read through every contract, told me where to spend my money and what was a waste. She problem solved the smallest of things that only I noticed/ cared about, and never made me feel like something was silly or too over the top. She sat through every vendor meeting with me, took notes on everything that was said, and remembered every detail that I couldn't keep track of! She came to my tasting and gave her expert opinion on which foods to go with and why. She sent payment reminders, communicated with vendors constantly, helped me make decisions when I just couldn't make any more. However, the real testament of not only Amy's work, but also her character, came on the wedding weekend. During the rehearsal, Amy came with print outs for the entire party and family that clearly explained the timeline of the weekend. She ran the rehearsal so seamlessly. With the weather constantly changing, we had a day- of backup plan, but hoped we wouldn't need it. Then, on the wedding day, before an entirely outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, we had a very difficult and stressful hour before the ceremony. As the rain continued to pour, Amy did everything in her power to reassure me and calm me down. I never felt any type of stress or concern from her. She was always calm and collected, and did everything in her power to make my wedding happen the way we had planned it. The weather cleared with just a few minutes to spare, and SOMEHOW, Amy and her team pulled off what was nothing short of a wedding day miracle, and we were able to still have the ceremony outside (and on time, might I add!!). Throughout the wedding night, Amy made sure to deal with any issue, handle difficult extended family members, and ensure that the night went off without a hitch. I can sincerely say that without Amy, my wedding would not have been everything I wanted it to be and more. I am going to miss getting to work with Amy every day. With Amy, you're not just getting an exceptional planner with years of experience and unmatched expertise that she brings to the table. You're also getting a friend, an older sister to tell you what to do, someone you can rely on when the stress of a wedding feels too great, and a metaphorical (and sometimes literal) bodyguard/ protector to shield you from vendors, crazy family members, and emotional distress LOL. Do yourself the biggest favor, and hire Amy & HEA events for your wedding or event.

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

She knows many poses and tips to make your pictures turn out to their full potential. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I always am super impressed with my pictures and excited to book future ones.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From our first conversation to our engagement photos, to the wedding day, Elena was perfect. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, captured every meaningful moment so naturally and was always proactive in thinking about interesting ways to capture us. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were exceptional. Our sneak peak photos were so amazing and I know the entire gallery will be just as beautiful. We are so grateful for the care and passion that went into capturing our memories!!! Would book again in a heartbeat!!!

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

Karl Knutson's Band Or Dj? Get Both! was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Karl was clear about what he could offer and flexible when we needed to adjust our plans. During cocktail hour, his singing was a standout moment—our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented he is. He kept the energy high throughout the night while also helping our speeches flow naturally without any awkward transitions. Karl's combination of live vocals and DJ skills meant we didn't have to hire two separate people, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We'd recommend him to any couple looking to get the best of both worlds.

Stems and Petals is a floral design studio based in the suburbs of Chicago, creating fresh, natural, and modern floral designs for weddings, events, and community workshops. We believe flowers should feel effortless and expressive, and we love helping people bring their vision to life — whether it’s a dreamy wedding bouquet, a styled installation, or a fun bouquet bar. Every design is crafted with care, creativity, and a love for meaningful moments.

Mackenzie was AMAZING! We wanted bright, bold, colorful florals at a time when that definitely wasn’t the norm, and Mackenzie completely understood the vision. She listened to everything we wanted, gave incredible suggestions, and made it happen by exceeding our expectations in every way. She brought our vision to life more beautifully than we could have imagined and made our wedding feel so uniquely us. She even made ideas I thought were impossible happen seamlessly! She was creative, accommodating, incredibly talented, and such a joy to work with. Truly our favorite vendor! My best friend loved our wedding florals so much that she’s now using Stems & Petals for her wedding…and it’s not even at The Farmhouse! Mackenzie is just that amazing!

I am a professional photographer and artist based in Lockport, IL. I own Two Birds Photography and I've been photographing weddings and families for about 20 years. I'm a sensitive nature guy who loves to talk to trees, pick up rocks, and put my hands in running water. I'm good natured, goofy in my own way, introspective, and intuitive. Along with my partner, our house is full of love with four boys, three cats, and dog. I like to create art, make things with my hands, work with plants in a garden, go on hikes, explore the world, talk one-on-one with people, and I like to laugh.

Since day 1, Jake was incredibly easy to work with. He was communicative, professional, kind, and made the entire process feel effortless. We chose a package that included a 1-hour engagement session and brought our pups, Lily & Layla. He was amazing with them and did such a great job incorporating them into our photos. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly. Jake even arrived slightly early to the hotel and immediately sprung into action. From meeting us at our main photo location to guiding us through poses, he made us feel comfortable and confident the entire day. He captured our ceremony and reception beautifully, and even took us out for sunset photos — which I am SO glad he did. We just received our preview gallery and are absolutely blown away by how beautiful the photos are so far. We are beyond excited to see the rest. We truly could not recommend Jake more!

Niko Menko Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Niko understood the vision I had for our wedding photos based on the mood board I shared with him. We had a great meeting prior to the wedding day to go over all the details, which put me at ease knowing he was prepared. On the day of, Niko was incredibly professional and helpful - he guided us through posing and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
