Ken transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. His ability to keep the energy high for every guest was truly impressive. The dance floor stayed packed even after the wedding had ended and the venue was wrapping up. He handled all the music and microphones from the pre-ceremony through the reception, which was awesome. We didn’t have to worry about renting any equipment because he came fully prepared with everything we needed for the entire day. From the moment the dance floor opened, Ken had the dance floor packed. He played a fantastic set of songs that everyone knew and loved, ensuring that no one was left sitting out, but also had no lulls in the energy of the night. His knack for reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time kept people dancing all night long. One standout feature was the music videos he played on the screen of his dj booth. This was a nice touch, especially for those who might have felt a bit shy about hitting the dance floor. It allowed everyone to enjoy the ambiance, whether they were dancing or simply watching and singing along. Ken also excelled as an emcee. He smoothly directed the flow of activities, ensuring that transitions between different parts of the evening were seamless. One of the highlights of the night was the group photo he organized. Ken took the initiative to gather everyone for a memorable photo op, which turned out to be a fantastic keepsake for everyone at the wedding. The moving photo booth was another hit. Ken's assistant, Chris, walked around with a camera attached to a ring light in order to capture both candid and posed shots. Guests who were dancing or lounging at their dinner tables could easily join in the fun of a photo booth, as it came right to them. Ken allowed my sister (the maid of honor) to use his dj booth for a slideshow during her speech, which was an exciting surprise for me (the bride) and all our guests. He was overall very patient with all our requests and even shared edits of the songs for the first dances, making sure everything was just right before the big day. Ken did a fantastic job making our wedding a night to remember. His skills as a DJ and his flexible approach really made a difference in making our day perfect. If you want someone who will help your entire event go smoothly and keep the party going, Ken is definitely a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Highly recommended! I am a Chicago videographer who had the privilege of working alongside Jeremy. Whether it's a corporate shoot, headshots or wedding photography Jeremy and his team have you covered! He and his team are 100% committed to making you feel comfortable and at ease.

He is kind, honest, creative and his work is superb. I would highly recommend hiring Jeremy and his team for your photography needs.

Svitlana and team’s florals completely elevated our wedding. I truly don’t think it would have looked as magical as it did without her florals! She did SUCH a beautiful job capturing the romantic, garden-party vibe. I got SO many compliments on the florals! My bouquet was GORGEOUS. I loved the colors. I wish I had had plans to professionally preserve it, but I pressed a few flowers from it. The wedding ceremony decor was so lush, and she even added some extra small details to the aisle/ chairs! For the reception we had round tables, plus one long table for the head table with a garland, and it was perfect. 100% go with Sweety Dream, you will not regret it!!

  • Serves Vernon Hills, IL

Hi! I’m Amber, Owner and Lead Planner of Peony Event Planning. I built this company from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience through real weddings and collaborations with talented industry professionals. Each event has shaped me as both a planner and a business owner dedicated to creating seamless, meaningful experiences. While weddings are our specialty, we love being part of your story from beginning to end—engagements, showers, celebrations, and everything in between.

Amber is the best choice you can make for your day. We hired her as a day of coordinator. What we got was so much more. There was so many elements we had no idea about that amber held our hand through and just handled. We thought the florals were the decor. How wrong we were thank goodness we had Amber and her collection of candles to complete our room and make it perfect. In addition she went half with us on the chuppah and built it and kept it for her future brides to rent. Literally, any way amber could make our lives easier or better she did. She took on all the communications with our vendors at the 6 month mark. If something went wrong on our wedding day my husband and I couldn’t tell you. Amber made the day flow so seamlessly. She went so far above to the point where she literally took care of over 50 butterflies that my mom sent to her the week before our wedding for a release. She told me she was ensuring they stayed alive and got them there in their envelops the day of. While also keeping it a secret from everyone. I also told her multiple times when it comes time for my future children’s bar/bat mitzvahs and any other large parties she will have to branch out from weddings because I will trust no one else with those big days but her. Amber is a calming presence and becomes a friend by the time your big day comes along. I could go on forever. I could not recommend her enough. She makes all your crazy wants and desires happen.

  • Serves Vernon Hills, IL

As a premier bilingual Chicago Wedding DJ with 19 years of experience my goal is simple: Make your dream wedding a reality. I am proud to keep the dance floor packed all night long and create an atmosphere that feels 100% like you. My process starts with understanding your style, your story, and exactly how you envision your celebration. By connecting with you early on, I ensure your entire day flows seamlessly according to your specific vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a wedding DJ, I cannot recommend Fidel enough! From the very beginning, he was organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Before the wedding, we had three video calls to go over every detail. He also created a shared Google Doc where we could easily organize everything he needed to know, from our ceremony processional songs, cocktail hour and dinner playlists, bridal party entrance songs, must-play songs, and even a list of songs we absolutely did not want played. The entire planning process was seamless and made us feel confident that every detail was covered. Fidel also provided all of the audio equipment for our outdoor ceremony, including speakers and microphones for our officiant and my cousin, who sang during the ceremony. One of the most thoughtful things he did was help with my processional song. I had chosen a song that didn't have an instrumental version anywhere. Instead of telling me it wasn't possible, he created a custom instrumental version so my cousin could practice singing with it before the wedding. That meant so much to me and is something I'll never forget. On the wedding day, Fidel absolutely delivered. He transitioned smoothly through every part of the day and kept the reception flowing effortlessly. He took song requests throughout the night while still staying true to the vibe we wanted, and I especially appreciated that he played clean versions of songs earlier in the reception since we had a lot of younger cousins celebrating with us. The dance floor stayed full, the energy never dropped, and everyone had an amazing time. In fact, the very next day, every person I asked about the wedding immediately commented on how great the music was. That says everything. You can truly tell that Fidel loves what he does, and it shows in every part of his work. He went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and because of him our ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. If you're considering hiring him, don't hesitate, you won't regret it!

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real.

From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Jennifer and her team were involved with our pre-wedding planning and handled coordination day-of, and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day. Jennifer was responsive, attentive, and wonderful to work with overall. We had over 170 guests with a large number of vendors, and just 8 months to plan everything. I’ll be honest, this event would not have been possible without her. She helped keep planning organized and on time, lead the charge on creating the timeline and coordinating scheduling with all the vendors, and was always there to answer questions, give recommendations, and handle last minute changes as they arose. On the day of the wedding, she and her team did a wonderful job setting up, coordinating with the venue/vendors, taking care of us and our guests, and keeping the event running smoothly and on time. One important note is her team stayed late to help with tear down, which is something they did not have to do but did anyway. We really appreciated that and it shows the dedication her and her team have for what they do. They were great to work with, highly competent, and I would highly recommend WBJF.

She also helped us film a secret wedding video with our closest family that we revealed to guests on the big day, and honestly, everyone was blown away. We'll be calling on Fox Reverie Media LLC for every special moment in our lives from here on out.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

I just worked along side Rebecca and it was a pleasure from start to finish. her team represented all that is great in hiring a professional wedding planner Tyhere are so many twist and turns at an event like this , that being flexible and prepared for anything and everything is so important to making the couple toatally pleased Bravo Yes to I do planning 10 Stars !

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Spruced Up Designs was an absolute must for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Leela was prompt, detailed, and incredibly organized in her communication. Her attention to every aspect of the wedding planning process was evident in the high-quality, personalized service they provided. When I didn't have menus ready, they quickly stepped in, designed, ordered, and picked them up - all before I even knew there was an issue. Leela and Brenda's kindness, efficiency, and eye for detail made them invaluable partners in creating our dream wedding day. I don't know what I would have done without them by my side, and I highly recommend Spruced Up Designs to any couple planning their special day. Also the handmade arbor was such a great touch to our ceremony!

I believe your ceremony should reflect who you are — culturally, spiritually, and personally. As a trilingual officiant, I offer ceremonies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, whether in one language or a meaningful blend of all three. Whether you envision something romantic, spiritual, or secular, I’ll help craft a celebration that feels authentically yours. I’m happy to discuss your preferences — whether we connect in person or virtually via FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Google Meet.

Deciding to work with Mylene for our wedding was the easiest yes after our first meeting. She was so thoughtful and caring throughout the whole process. She had templates that detailed everything and was willing to work with whatever we wanted to do in the ceremony. She was extremely professional and punctual on the day of the wedding. Amazing experience!
