Working with Ez was so incredibly easy. Not only were they incredibly easy to work with and captured incredible photos, they also were so incredibly helpful and supportive the entire day. Working a hot summer wedding in July is not always the most fun but Ez was constantly making sure I was hydrated, had food and was assisting with all photo needs that were necessary. As a vendor, Ez is someone I would work with again and again. Highly recommend!!

PLEASE INQUIRE DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE. We do not answer inquiries on this platform since we are charged to connect with you. We are a boutique floristry studio focused on sustainability and artistic design. Our mission is to elevate spaces, evoke emotion, and create lasting memories. We pride ourselves on our curated luxurious designs, highlighting contemporary style with a Neoclassicist grandeur. Color theory and textural balance is where we excel.

When I first met Klaudia not even two years ago, I was a little wary because she her business was so new. Sometimes even the most seasoned florists can be a little challenging to work with--difficult to reach, lack of clarity in proposals, etc.--so I had my guard up. However, Klaudia blew me away! Not only is she an incredibly talented designer, she's a true pro who is so on top of her game. She's the total package. I recommend her very highly and frequently bring clients to her because I know she will do an amazing job every time!

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!

From the start, the team at Yes to I Do was quick to respond to all of our questions and requests. They were incredibly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our ceremony and reception was carefully planned out. Rebecca in particular went above and beyond, helping us coordinate with all our vendors months in advance and providing helpful templates and suggestions to keep us organized. On the day of and during the rehearsal, the Yes to I Do team thought of every little detail, directing each person on how the ceremony would flow and regularly checking on my husband and I to make sure we had everything we needed - they even kept our goblets full! We were truly able to relax and enjoy our special day thanks to their attentive and considerate service. We highly recommend Yes to I Do for any couple planning their wedding in the Chicago area.

Not only was the quality amazing, but their services were also very affordable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Jaide and her team were also so communicative and flexible throughout the whole process of booking to the wedding date. I absolutely loved my bridal look! When I had my makeup trial with Emily back in March, I wasn’t entirely sure what style I wanted. The trial look was beautiful, but I realized it didn’t quite feel like “me.” On my wedding day, I showed Emily a new inspiration photo, and I completely trusted her to bring it to life, even though we hadn’t tried it before. She absolutely nailed it and I can truly say that I have never felt more beautiful!

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Lovin Oven Cakery was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive and organized in their communication, making selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. The final product was a true work of art—a stunning four-tiered, multi-flavored masterpiece that was easy on the eyes and yummy for our tummies! Their creativity and attention to detail truly shone through, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the cake tasted. All of this coupled with a complimentary recreation of the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary makes Lovin Oven THE BEST.

Wendy is truly amazing and did wonders for my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, and myself. Her background and experience is impressive and her knowledge is extensive. She airbrushed my entire wedding party and the make-up felt lightweight and lasted all day. I also made the mistake of getting a facial peel too close to my wedding and she was able to cover up a burn on my cheek. She made me look and feel fabulous! Couldn't have asked for a better make-up artist for my wedding!

Bridal Beauty By Stephani was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From the very first interaction, Stephani was responsive, punctual, friendly, and easy-going. She listened closely to my vision and preferences, and her professional, dedicated, and meticulous approach ensured that my makeup was flawless. When another makeup artist had to leave unexpectedly, Stephani stepped up and expertly did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mothers, and myself - all while staying calm and on schedule. The end result was stunning, and I was so grateful for Stephani's attention to detail in bringing my bridal glam look to life. I highly recommend Bridal Beauty By Stephani for any couple's special day.
