From the moment I first spoke with Justine from Beautiful Crazy Coordinator, I knew I was in good hands. Their communication style was professional, frequent, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work was simply outstanding - they brought an artistic flair to every detail, and ensured everything was executed in a timely and stress-free manner. Justine called me multiple times leading up to the wedding to make sure she fully understood my vision, and when I walked into the reception on the big day, it was even better than I could have dreamed! She also came back later that night to expertly tear down the decor and get it ready to load into the cars. I felt completely at ease the entire day, and all of my guests were amazed at how beautifully the venue was decorated. I'm so grateful I gave Justine artistic freedom with a few of my ideas, as she exceeded all of my expectations. I have already recommended Beautiful Crazy Coordinator to several of my friends with upcoming weddings.

Chime entertainment is an all around amazing vendor for DJ/MCEE, Photo booth, and videography services. Our day was amazing thanks to them! The Photo Booth added such a fun touch to the evening and was definitely a huge hit with all the funny props! It also left us with a full digital album of all of our guests having the time of their lives and was immediately available for us to look at (which came in handy while we waited for our wedding photos to come back). Everyone wont stop talking about how fun/perfect our wedding was and these guys were definitely the reason. Adam D, our main contact, was always quick to respond and always available when it came to answering our questions. Our DJ, George, was incredible, not only keeping the energy high all night but also stepping in to help coordinate the evening. He read the room perfectly, checked in with us throughout, and adapted seamlessly to any changes. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC. Our videographer, Leeland, went above and beyond to capture our day beautifully. He brought such fun energy while also knowing when to step back and let private moments unfold naturally. His balance of presence and discretion made us feel so comfortable, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day. If you are looking for amazing DJ and videography services at an affordable price, go with these guys!

DJ Brandon was top tier. Seriously. I could not recommend him enough. We communicated with him over email and just once over FaceTime and he just absolutely nailed everything the day of. He was so dialed in with the music, he would literally be changing the keys of the songs to seamlessly flow into the next song and he never let a song play for too long. We had so many people on the dance floor and I was so shocked at just how many of my guests weeks later just continue to gush over how good he was. Also, even after my husband and I did our exit I heard there was a ton of people who got back on the dance floor which is exactly what we would have wanted! I literally never write reviews but I was compelled to write this because he was just THAT GOOD. Kind, hardworking, communicated well but didn't need too much from us the day of which is super helpful. Anytime I needed a quick change he was on it. He listens and his ability to read the room is unmatched. He also just always kept the energy up so much. If you ever need a DJ, please go with Brandon and Prestige. I wasn't sure how it would go but our wedding was nearly perfect in part because of Brandon. I am so thankful.

We worked with Noelle and Lynn for my August 2025 wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough! Noelle did both my hair and makeup, and she went above and beyond. She was originally booked just for makeup for 6 girls, but when I was in a pinch, she graciously accommodated doing hair for 8 of us last minute. She made me feel absolutely beautiful, and my hair and makeup lasted flawlessly through the entire night. They both arrived promptly, were professional yet so easy to get along with, and made everyone in my bridal party feel comfortable and confident. She also did an incredible job working with the space we had, making everything run smoothly without stress. I am so grateful for her talent, flexibility, and kindness—she truly played such an important role in making my day perfect.

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!

Sam and Bre were absolutely incredible for my wedding party. I had my hair and makeup done for both my engagement shoot and a trial, and each experience was fantastic. Sam is extremely talented and truly listens to what you want. She takes detailed notes, which made it easy to adjust or change styles along the way. On the big day, they provided services for seven of us and stayed perfectly on schedule. Both Sam and Bre were kind, helpful, and a calming presence throughout the morning.

As someone who is VERY particular about their hair, I cannot recommend Kimberley enough. Not only is she kind, considerate, and professional, but she listens and intently styles based on continuous feedback and guidance. I have very fine, thin hair and Kimberley made sure that my hair looked voluminous but not overdone, and that all of my “bald spots” were covered. Kimberley is not just a hair stylist, she is an artist. She carefully places each and every piece until it is just right. Kimberley takes her time and uses products that do not weigh down your hair while at the same time keeping it firmly in place. I entrusted Kimberley for both engagement photos and my wedding day and it was the best decision I made. I cannot more highly recommend her for not only special occasions, but any of your hair care needs!

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!

Hi, I’m Katy! Your new favorite Detroit, MI based photographer. I am always down to travel and always here to hype you up. I really just love love. Since 2016, I’ve been capturing love stories with heart, laughter, and a whole lotta good energy. I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m also all about letting the real magic unfold naturally. Whether you're camera-shy or a total ham, we’ll keep it fun, relaxed, and full of moments that actually feel like you. When I’m not photographing amazing couples, you’ll find me exploring new restaurants or bars, headbanging at a concert, or yelling at the Detroit Red Wings like they can hear me through the TV.

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!
