“Nick and the Ageless Media team provided exceptional videography services for our wedding. From our first meeting, their communication was clear and they took the time to understand our vision in detail. On the day of, Nick worked seamlessly with our other vendors to capture incredible footage without ever making us feel like we were being filmed. The final product was of the highest quality and we felt the value of their services was well worth the investment.

“The Odyssey Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, responsive, detailed, and incredibly helpful. The quality of their work and the value they provided was simply outstanding - the venue was pristine, the setup was perfect, and the overall experience was truly beautiful and accommodating. The team at The Odyssey went above and beyond to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. They had a detailed plan A and plan B in place to account for potential weather issues, and even asked us to bring in extra decor items a couple days early so they could have everything ready and waiting for our wedding coordinators. Every single staff member, especially Isabella and Kelly, were phenomenal to work with. We actually found this venue just 40 days before our wedding, as our previous venue could not accommodate our increased guest count. The Odyssey Venue made our day truly magical and one that we will never forget. If we could do it all over again, we would choose them in a heartbeat - no hesitation whatsoever!”

So Beautiful Bridal

“I had Suzana Roman for my bridal makeup in July 2024. She not only did an AMAZING job with the makeup, but was only communicative, professional, and punctual. I had a large bridal party with 10 people (including me) wanting makeup. I also had a variety of needs (full face, airbrush, just eye makeup, just lashes, etc.). She did an amazing job making my entire party feel comfortable with their makeup choices and highlighting their wants and requests. She was also extremely punctual given the amount of women that needed makeup! Most of my bridal party wears minimal makeup and she did a great job highlighting their natural makeup looks while still making them "photo ready". All women were 100% satisfied with their makeup looks and all were pleasantly surprised with the cost. AND the makeup stayed on ALL day - through tears, the heat, and dancing! Suzanna was friendly, professional, and funny! She was a joy to work with and I recommend hiring her for your wedding or any other big event where you need makeup!”

The Walk-Ins

“From the first phone call to the end of our wedding reception, The Walk Ins were incredible. Joe, the band lead, was so beyond helpful the entire way. I knew after that initial consult that this was the band I was going to hire because of how fun, friendly, helpful and energized he was. This is his passion, for sure! We met with Joe several times to finalize the timeline and music for the day, he really takes the time to make sure it goes as perfect as possible. Joe is not "just" the band lead, he knows how to run the entire show! He's basically a day of coordinator who will make sure your timeline is followed to the very minute. Seriously, he gave us so much advice and it all worked out beautifully. Now the music.... WOW. We had the full 8pc band and it. was. perfect. I've wanted a live band at my wedding since I was a child and The Walks Ins delivered! People danced ALL night. The sound was amazing. Transitions were beautiful. The Walk Ins kept the party going and weeks later we are still receiving so many compliments from guests. I don't even want to imagine what the big day would've been like without The Walk Ins. I cannot recommend them enough. Heads up -- they also play at music festivals (oak lawn fall music fest for one), restaurants, and suburban pavilions (i.e., New Lenox) so you can catch them year round!”

“I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.”

Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

“One of the biggest parts of a wedding day is having the memories captured in a way that allows you to be transported back. As someone who worked in a creative field, I was very picky about who would take our photos and in the end went with George Street because of the company's reputation of delivering quality photos with experienced photographers. I'm so glad we made this choice, because during our first look the weather decided to turn to a thunderstorm and it rained 1.5 inches for the next few hours. While this could be a day ruiner, we quickly pivoted and moved everything into our tent and I know that with a less experienced photographer we might not have the incredible photos we do. Josh was easy to work with, made us comfortable and went with the flow when we had ideas about shooting in the rain, getting wet and muddy. The photos we have are incredible and I can feel the exact way I did when we did our private vows, said I do and had our first dance. George Street also impressed me with a quick turnaround and I loved that I could have all of my images with a fee. I have thousands of outtakes and moments to look at for the rest of my life! I'd definitely make the same choice over again.”

The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about WindyCityGlam!! From the moment I started working with them (weeks before from a continent away via emails), they were attentive, reliant, and so cooperative to relieve any stress in the process leading up to the wedding. On the day, they made my family, bridesmaids and I feel so comfortable and cared for. My mother and I both are people who don’t usually feel glamorous or confident in front of a mirror, but the team worked their magic in a way that felt natural, timeless, and absolutely stunning. Hearing my mom say she felt “beautiful” (because of them) was the best wedding present I could’ve asked for. They listened carefully to what we wanted, enhanced our features without ever making us feel overdone, and somehow captured exactly the look we didn’t even know we were hoping for. Cat listened to exactly what I wanted at the trial and on the day of, to make small tweaks to original looks that left me feeling even more confident and beautiful. Beyond the talent and artistry, what stood out most was how kind, calming, and encouraging the team was throughout the entire process. On such a meaningful day, that combination of skill and heart made all the difference. I had a lot of things I would’ve changed of my wedding day looking back, but Windy City Glam is NOT one of them!! I cannot recommend them enough! If you’re looking for hair and makeup artists who can make you feel beautiful inside and out—even if you’ve never felt that way before—look no further than Windy City Glam!”

“I don’t even know where to begin. As a former wedding photographer I found Walden while shooting a wedding years ago and was blown away by the space and service. When we got engaged they were the first venue I contacted for a tour and every single step along the way has reaffirmed that there’s no team I would rather have for our wedding. Maria, the owner was so fantastic for the first walk through and all of the communication was thorough and quick. Matt, the bar manager was phenomenal and everyone raved about our welcome and signature drinks. He worked with us to come up with exactly what we wanted and they tasted phenomenal. Forever in love with our fall welcome drink and my Prickly Pear Mojito. Nick, the co-owner and head chef was SO prompt with his responses and the food was to die for. As a former wedding vendor I know wedding food is typically sub par and that was 90% of my deciding factor for where we booked. EVERYTHING is amazing. He even worked with us to do items off the menu with our request to bring in some of our culture. Loved every second of it and was so sad when I had to accept we’re done with their cooking. The service team, literally all of them from start to finish were the most exceptional people I’ve encountered. So thorough, caring, and attentive. Never did I have to wait or wonder where anything was or what was happening next. They checked on us non stop and were always ready with another drink or hors d'oeuvre. Truly exceptional. Finally, to our two amazing planners. I don’t have the words. Krystle and Alyssa MADE our day, week, year. Always ready to provide input, be a sounding board, and go the extra mile. Plus, they have incredible taste in music and hometowns lol. Just speechless with you two. All of our gratitude and love forever. All in all just absolutely exceptional. We are so sad our day is over but have been raving about you every minute since it started and will be for years to come. Everyone has been floored with the beauty you all created. THANK YOU! Lots of love, The Zdravev’s”

“Flowers for Dreams created some of the coolest florals we've ever seen — truly unlike anything else out there. We got so many compliments on the arrangements, and they brought such a modern, artful energy to our ceremony and reception. The aisle decor in particular completely exceeded our expectations — it felt like stepping into a dream. We didn’t know exactly which flowers would be used, but we trusted the process, and they absolutely delivered. The team brought our vision to life in a way that felt effortless, intentional, and totally “us.” Everything was delivered perfectly on time and exactly where it needed to be — no stress, just beauty. Casey was wonderful to work with — dedicated, responsive, and persistent in the best way possible. She made sure every detail was sorted and that nothing slipped through the cracks. And beyond all of that, we love that Flowers for Dreams partners with local charities. It felt good knowing that something so beautiful also had purpose behind it. We couldn’t recommend them more!”

“IG PHOTO VIDEO INC. was the perfect photographer (we had two photographers and one videographer) for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was receptive and responsive, with quick replies to our emails. The quality of their work was excellent - the photos are clear and crisp, with a wide range of styles captured. Ivan and Tae, the two photographers, and Svitlana, the videographer, were all a pleasure to work with. They asked thoughtful questions to understand the specific details we wanted captured and helped facilitate smooth coordination with the bridal party. The price was very reasonable for the great quality photos and video they delivered, which perfectly documented all the small details of our special day.

“I couldn't have been happier with my hair and makeup. Ann and our makeup artist Viki were extremely organized, on time down to the minute, and absolute experts in their crafts. I have oily skin and thick, disobedient hair but they brought my vision to life with so much enthusiasm and excitement and were complete pros with the rest of my party as well. She was worth every penny and I would recommend Ann to any bride wanting a complete professional for their hair and makeup.”

“Blair and her team, Elly and Neva, were lifesavers for our wedding! We met her team during an open house for The Brix, the venue where we had our reception. We found out that my cousin was also working with her for his wedding and he had the most amazing things to say so we knew we were in good hands! Blair is easy to talk to and work with, professional, kind, understanding, and extremely organized! She helped us stick to our budget, coordinate with other vendors, and gave us so many recommendations and options for high quality vendors. Blair is extremely responsive! We loved how quickly she was responding to any questions we had and I also really appreciated the nudges on deadlines! We have extremely busy schedules and we travel often, so the frequent reminders and check-ins were crucial. We were grateful that there were scheduled talks intermittently throughout the planning process. It really helped us manage the timeline and logistics. If you’re a Type-A Bride, you will love the website they put together to help keep things organized (seating chart, vendors etc). On the big day, Blair and her team ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. My husband and I highly recommend BW Studio for anyone looking to make their wedding stress-free and memorable!”
