Nick and his team were the first vendors we booked once we set our wedding date! We knew we loved his style from my sisters wedding and we HAD to have them apart of our wedding day. He’s professional, so energetic, and goes above and beyond in every aspect! Nick and his team brought us our first drinks of the night, we’re so attentive to where my husband and I were during the reception - If we left the room for a moment, he didn’t play any of our requested songs he knew we’d want to be present for! The biggest compliment we receive from our wedding guests is still about Nick and the music - songs were played for just the right amount of time and he does an amazing job of keeping the energy up ALL NIGHT. One of my main goals for our reception was keeping the dance floor packed the whole time and Nick did just that. I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Nick and his team at Impulse Entertainment. Impulse Entertainment is the vendor I recommend first to any of my friends once they get engaged. Thank you for giving us an amazing experience, Nick and team!

Makeup By Jacquee

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Wayne, IL

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jacquee did a remarkable job on my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and mother. Starting with the consultation/run-through, it was clear that Jacquee was a professional. Even though I didn’t have a solid sense of what I wanted, she listened to what I liked and executed to perfection. In fact, the morning of my wedding I felt very sick to my stomach and had only gotten two hours of sleep the night before. I had some VERY dark circles under my eyes and was worried that I had ruined my chances of looking beautiful on my wedding day. Jacquee was unfazed and was able to make me look just as fantastic as I hoped. She gave all of us little touch-up kits which were super handy throughout the day and my hair and makeup looked great all night. I find myself trying to come up with reasons to get my makeup done by Jacquee again just so I can feel that gorgeous! I highly recommend Jacquee for your hair and makeup needs!

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say.

Denise and her team were such a pleasure to work with! As a photographer I’m able to almost go on autopilot when working with Marryment because I know they are on top of every small detail! From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising. That tells me one thing that is most important for any planner to have with couples…Trust! Every couple knows undoubtedly that their day is in great hands with Marryment!

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

My husband & I can’t say enough good things about Mackenzie and Lex. We did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding photo/videos with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with and our pictures are AMAZING. I made a mistake in communicating what videos we wanted & didn’t realize it until a couple of months after our wedding. Mackenzie was so understanding & put together what she could so that we can still have some videos, we are so grateful for that! We plan to use them for any future photography needs because we loved them so much!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough great things about DJ Don Carlo and his wife. From the very first time we reached out, they were incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, they made everything feel seamless and stress-free. They were always quick to respond, detail oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. On the day of our wedding, DJ Don Carlo absolutely delivered. He brought such amazing energy to the reception and knew exactly how to keep the dance floor full from the very beginning until the very last song. He read the crowd so well and created a perfect flow of music that kept our guests engaged and having the best time. We've had so many friends and family members tell us how much fun they had dancing, and that’s thanks to him! What really stood out to us, though, was something that happened just a few days before our wedding. Our mariachi canceled on us three days before the big day, which was incredibly stressful and disappointing. When we told DJ Don Carlo, he immediately stepped in to help. He shared a post on his Instagram story asking if anyone was available to fill in, reaching out to everyone he knew who might be able to help. That moment showed us just how much he truly cares about the couples he works with. It wasn’t just about music for him, it was about making sure our day was everything we hoped it would be. That level of care and kindness is rare, and we will never forget it. If you are looking for a wedding DJ who is not only talented and experienced but also truly kind, dependable, and supportive, DJ Don Carlo is the one. He goes above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful to have had him be a part of our wedding day.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! While I initially thought I just needed someone for the “day of,” I quickly realized how much goes into wedding coordination in the weeks and months leading up to the big day—and Sarah was there every step of the way. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the wedding planning process, or the actual day, without her. From the moment we started working together, Sarah brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything. She is kind, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and somehow manages to be both relaxed and hard-working at the same time. Every detail was thought through, every vendor was communicated with, and every little hiccup was handled before I even had time to worry about it. On my wedding day, I was able to be fully present and soak it all in, because I knew Sarah had everything under control. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a day-of coordinator, don’t overthink it—hire Sarah. She is a true gem, and you’ll be so glad to have her in your corner.

When looking for a makeup artist for my wedding, I wanted someone who specialized in glowy natural looks. Michelle exceeded all of my expectations!! She went above and beyond during my initial session to make me feel comfortable and discover my personal preferences. By the time the big day rolled around she knew exactly how to do my makeup and Hollywood waves perfectly!! I’ve never received so many compliments in my life. Not only is Michelle extremely talented, she’s an absolute sweetheart! Look no further than F.A.C.E. Beauty if you’re looking for a timeless look for your wedding

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Wayne, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Phil Landers. From the start, he was professional, warm, and incredibly thorough. His planning process was smooth and efficient, and it was obvious why all his reviews were so outstanding—he lives up to every word of praise and then some. What truly sets Phil apart is the personal touch he brings. He didn’t just perform a ceremony; he told our story in a way that made everyone laugh, cry, and feel connected. And then—he did something no one expected. Phil included a one-of-a-kind element in the ceremony that none of our guests had ever seen before. It was creative, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. People are still talking about it, and honestly, so are we. He has a gift for making the ceremony feel intimate and meaningful, without ever being overly formal or generic. It felt like us—which is exactly what we hoped for. Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. He exceeded every expectation and gave us a ceremony we will never forget. If you're looking for an officiant who brings something truly special to the table, Phil Landers is the one.

The Local Petaler

  • Florist
  • Serves Wayne, IL

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

Jen absolutely stunned me with the flowers she showed up with on my wedding day. She made my vision a reality, and then some. She was mindful of our budget, had creative ideas that I never would have thought of, listened deeply, and was so kind and thoughtful when nudging me away from bad ideas :-) I would absolutely recommend her.

From the moment we reached out to The BRIX on the Fox, their communication was effective, quick, and proactive. The team was there for anything we needed, going above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The venue itself was beautiful, with great lighting and a spacious layout that allowed our guests to mingle comfortably. While they provided a list of preferred vendors, we found it worthwhile to look outside of their suggestions and were thrilled with the results. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend The BRIX on the Fox to any couple planning their wedding.
