This venue was absolutely everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more! It’s beautiful and had plenty of space for everything we wanted. We had a mobile bar, wood fired pizza oven, and an ice cream stand with plenty of room. We had many places to take photos and have a first look with my husband and dad. We also had a few outdoor games! The owners helped us out all day long as well and they were too kind. We’re so blessed. Thank you for making my dreams come true.

We loved working with Amy! She was easy to work with leading up to the day, and had multiple meetings talking about the timeline and she would give advice if she thought we missed anything. Day of, she kept everything on schedule! We had a large bridal party and her and the second photographer were great and kept everyone in check. Unfortunately, it rained on our day but Amy was quick to pivot and our shots still turned out amazing. She also sent the previews so quickly and way more than I thought. We are so happy with how the previews turned out and can't wait to see the full album!

  • Classic style

I was that bride that no one wants to be. I was young and had no clue when it came to planning a wedding. I chose a wedding photographer that someone suggested and not necessarily that I loved. Then it happened. My wedding photos came back and were awful. Fifteen years later, they are still awful. From that day on I thought, never again. My role as a photographer continues to push me as a creative, learning how to chase light effectively and giving you images that you'll adore. YOU are my inspiration! Simple things in life are what make me smile. Relationships, sunshine and a cozy movie on the couch. Life is beautiful, isn't it?!

We have worked with Kellie on family photos not once but now twice to capture our families most precious moments and she was amazing through the whole process. From assisting us on what to wear, to capturing the imperfectly perfect moments, and making the booking and planning process so simple, we had to book her again for more! Now, our home is filled with amazing captured moments by her and will be for the future to come as our family continues to grow! You will gain a photographer and friend for life with Kellie, and she will make you feel on top of the world during your session!

Owner Avery Echols began his DJ career almost by accident. His entry into the business began with managing music for a friend’s reception. At this point, Ace Wedding DJs was born. As Avery’s business grew, he brought in his brother Wes and best friend Landon Bell. Together, this talented trio works hard to bring the dreams of soon-to-be newlyweds to life. In addition to fueling the dance-floor and and crafting ambiance through music, the DJs also serve as MCs with natural ease and charisma. They ensure that introductions, announcements, and transitions run smoothly.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Awarded Best of Zola
I am ecstatic about my experience with Carly as our hairstylist for my wedding! She is an absolute angel and exceeded every expectation I had as well as my bridal party! From the very beginning, she was nothing but amazing! She was super flexible with scheduling a hair trial for both my mom and I, especially since I live out of state! Carly’s work is absolutely phenomenal, she can do whatever you desire when it comes to hair! I wanted my hair down for the wedding and to have that “blowout” look. She recommended and advised me at my hair trial that it would fall pretty quickly if she did that so we ended up doing a bit tighter curls that would fall and give me more of a looser curl throughout the day. I valued her honest opinion and she did a phenomenal job at achieving the look I wanted! All of my bridal parties hair looked absolutely stunning! Carly is so professional while still maintaining such a fun and comfortable atmosphere for everyone! She made sure to take the time to talk with each girl about what hairstyle they wanted and gave them exactly what they asked for or what she recommended. She is such a kind, beautiful, and easy-going person!I was very impressed with all of her work, she’s the hairstylist QUEEN, and it was an amazing experience to work with her! I will definitely be recommending her to anyone and everyone, so stop what you’re doing right now and book with Carly! You won’t regret it one bit!

Hello! My name is Mallory, and I’m excited to help you plan a stress-free, dream wedding. I have a passion for simplistic and elegant wedding styling but am equally thrilled to help bring any vision you have to life. My background includes working as a bridal consultant, where I helped brides find their perfect wedding day outfits. My wife and I live in the Grand Rapids area with our two beautiful Golden-Aussies. When I’m not working, you can find me visiting local breweries, playing volleyball, or (most often) winning at Scrabble against my wife. I look forward to working with you to create the wedding of your dreams!

I had the pleasure of working with Mallory on a wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, with the reception held at McKay Ballroom. To say I’d gladly work alongside her again is an understatement. Mallory is truly an essential part of any wedding dream team. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she carries herself with a calm, collected professionalism throughout every stage of the day. When last-minute timeline changes came up, she handled them with grace and efficiency, helping everything run smoothly without a hitch. The day simply wouldn’t have been the same without her guidance and expertise. I now recommend her to all of my clients and would be thrilled to work with her on future events.

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Sparta, MI

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!

The officiant was so nice and didn't push her own ideas, but rather made great suggestions that fit our vision. As a military couple, we really appreciated how excited she was to make our wedding day truly special.

We are a videography and production company based in West Michigan, and we're not in business of filmmaking because we have to be, we're in it because we want to be. Each member of our team has a passion for film and wants to bring their unique art to your story. Based out of Grand Rapids and operating since 2009, our team focuses on capturing candid moments and a small number of formal shots in order to create a truly beautiful and cinematic film of your day. We will approach your wedding day with fair pricing and an unwavering commitment to capturing every important moment that you can cherish for years to come.

When looking into vendors for our wedding, we debated a videographer because of the cost; when we came across Unnammed Films, it was a no brainer. We were so impressed at the different services that they had to offer. The quality of work, the professionalism and communication, and they way they tell the story of your wedding day through video is a MUST HAVE. Our wedding went from a large guest list in Traverse City, MI to a small town backyard wedding in Saint Charles, MI because of COVID-19, and Unnammed Films was the first of our vendors to reach out and make accommodations for live video feed if that was something that we wanted for our guest who might not be able to make it. The flexibility was incredible. They captured the essence of our big day in the big and little moments. Things that we might have missed in the busyness of the day, we were able to look back on through this video. We are so happy with our decision to have Unnamed Films capture our day, we would choose them again and again for all of our videographer needs.

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities.

From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Karlye did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding, I had never had my makeup done by anyone else and it was a great experience. She was very easy to talk to and she listened to everything I said. I don’t usually wear very much makeup but when I do I like my eyeliner and freckles done a very specific way, and Karlye was able to do that for me, but still elevate it. I also have really uneven, combination skin and she even made my skin look perfect. I told her over and over I felt so pretty!! Highly recommend :-)

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April was FANTASTIC!! I was unsure whether or not I wanted a coordinator- I had a hard time “giving up” control of my big day. When I first spoke with April- I knew that she was THE ONE! Kind, patient, understanding, and also a little bit of a perfectionist. ;) I hired April as “Day of Coordinator” only. April took everything I gave her on my wedding day and ran with it. She took my planning binder and I said “Good Luck!” She made it all happen! She quickly and effortlessly made my dream wedding perfect. She helped with decor, setting up, getting my dress on, helping me use the bathroom, putting my shoes on… anything you could think of!! And the professionalism and kindness was next level! A few days/weeks later, my bridesmaids told me about little fires that April put out that I had no idea about- problems with the DJ, the groomsmen trying to get drunk before walking down the aisle (April stopped them), and our Happily Ever After sign that kept falling. She handled all of this without me even knowing! The best decision I made (besides who to marry) on the day of my wedding was hiring April!! You won’t regret it!!

I LOVE, LOVE. IT’S QUITE SIMPLE REALLY. THE BEST MOMENTS ARE UNPREDICTED, CANDID AND RAW. WHEN LAUGHTER IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR BELLY ACHES, OR WORDS ARE SO SWEET THAT TEARS ARE MADE.. CREATING MAGIC WITH HUMANS WHO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AS POWERFULLY AS I DO… THAT’S WHAT I LIVE FOR.

My experience with Lexi Lauren Photography for my wedding was beyond amazing. She is so great at making the photos fun and directing for the best results. She gets tons of great photos that it makes it impossible to pick a favorite. She is easy to schedule times with and communicates well via email and phone. The day of the wedding she made sure to get the photos we asked while also allowing us enough time to mingle during cocktail hour. She helped keep our flow during the wedding day and optimize time. We loved receiving the Polaroids at the end of the night and our sneak peeks from our wedding day came quickly and we have already received so many compliments! I will continue to use her for future family sessions and would recommend her for any situation but especially for weddings.
