Working with Destify - Destination Wedding Planners was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style is attentive, as they always got back to me promptly and were down-to-earth and understanding throughout the process. The quality of their work and value they provided was exceptional - they are truly passionate about what they do, patient with all my questions, great listeners, and skilled problem-solvers. For example, Sandra made sure a guest who had to cancel last-minute got their money back seamlessly, and she even stepped in to contact the venue when I felt overwhelmed, helping to smooth things out. I cannot recommend Destify highly enough - they played a big role in making our special day so wonderful and stress-free.

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with George Street was excellent! Their service was professional, timely, and more affordable than some other vendors we were considering. We loved the safety net included with going with a company like George Street. One of my biggest nightmares was worrying about one of our photographers/videographer missing our wedding day. The coordinators provided us peace of mind stating that if an emergency should happen, they would have another staff member come and fill in. The coordinators respond quickly to emails, which was great being so busy working full time while wedding planning. We got our photos back about a month later which was much faster than I was expecting. Our video took another month or so and was so sweetly edited. We got contact information from our photo/video team the week before the wedding just in case we needed to contact them individually. They did a great job helping us capture memories that we will cherish forever

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. 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!

Brenda was amazing to work with from start to finish! She cared about understanding us as a couple and our desires for the wedding. Recommending other vendors that met our budget, our personality and vision. Wedding planning is full of stressful decision making and Brenda coached us through those moments, held us to account, but remained flexible. She’s so sweet, fun, and professional—always on time, always prepared, and somehow made the whole planning process actually enjoyable. She went above and beyond by even unwrapping over 150 wigs that we had forgot about. She was super quick to answer texts and emails, always happy to hop on a call, and kept us on track with a super detailed timeline so nothing ever felt last-minute or rushed. I especially loved her monthly check-ins on the 1st—it kept everything organized and stress-free. Brenda came recommended from a friend’s wedding, and now I get why. Couldn’t have asked for a better planner and I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

Nicky Avalo Studios is AMAZING. DJ Redd kept the dance floor filled all night long. I was one of the crazy brides who had a veryyyyy long must play list and he did a great job at playing the songs that kept people singing & dancing. From the very start, it was such an easy process!! Nicky was so so helpful. I filled out the document and everything I asked for was done. Before the wedding, I had actual nightmares about who would DJ my wedding (no idea why… just mustve been what I was most nervous for?! LOL) and WOW those nightmares were all wrong. DJ Redd is the best & even joined us on the dance floor! Seriously I cant say enough good things. I told Nicky about the nightmares I had & he went above & beyond & showed up to our wedding to say hey which just made it even more special. THANK YOU Nicky Avalo Studios for being everything we asked for & more. Attached pics of me & then DJ Redd doing the splits LOL

We absolutely loved our wedding experience with Chicago Winery. From day 1 they made us feel so welcome, and they were genuinely excited to host and share the day with us (shoutout to Amy!). Planning was so much easier since we did not have to go elsewhere for food or drinks (plus great wine), and the venue itself does not need a lot of extra decor to achieve the vibe you want. The location is also great for guests, since they're near lots of things to do and there are plenty of hotels within walking distance. Our guests absolutely loved the different spaces the venue provides; it was a huge plus to have the terrace remain open throughout the night, so that guests who wanted a break from dancing had another space to be in and mingle. All of the staff did an incredible job, and we received a lot of compliments on the food as well. As with any wedding day I'm sure, there were a couple little details that got missed, but only myself and my husband would have noticed. Overall we had an incredible wedding day, our friends and family had a blast, and Chicago Winery was absolutely the venue for us. Thank you to Amy, Chris, and all the staff for helping make this the most special day! - Kara & Chris Asmar, 06/07/25

We could not have been happier with our decision to have our wedding at Walden. From the moment we inquired about the venue to the visit and finally the big day, the entire team was wonderful to work with. We worked mainly with Sydni and Ally but all planners were organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, always answering our questions and making sure every detail was accounted for. Their professionalism and friendliness made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and enjoyable. On the wedding day, Imani, along with Sydni and Ally truly went above and beyond. They coordinated vendors, steamed outfits, kept everything on schedule, managed setup, distributed tips, and handled countless behind-the-scenes details that allowed us to fully enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and incredibly well-designed for a wedding. Having both the ceremony and reception spaces on-site made the entire experience so convenient for us and our guests. The flow between spaces was seamless, and everything was set up thoughtfully to ensure ease of access and a smooth transition throughout the evening. And the food—absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the meal. The bar was equally impressive and felt like a dream. Drinks were fantastic, service was efficient, and guests never had to wait long. Another big hats off to the chef, cooks, bartenders, and service staff! Walden delivered everything we were hoping for in a wedding venue: a beautiful space, exceptional food and beverage service, and an outstanding team that genuinely cared about making our day special. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for an all-in-one venue and planning team.

I had multiple people come up to me during and after our wedding and say that the music was the best they’ve ever heard at any wedding. Not to mention everything went off perfectly without a hitch.

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day.

Finding and working with Nicole was one of the best decisions I could have ever made for mine and my husbands wedding. Nicole from day one made sure to make herself available and was so informative. No matter how many questions I had or if I just wanted to update her about something she was always there, literally a friend from a far. Leading up to wedding day Nicole checked in with me and made sure she was current and up to date with all things wedding, she assisted me with the timeline and overall flow of the wedding day and even added in some suggestions. Nicole showed up on wedding day and it was so nice finally meeting her in person after almost a year of Facetime, calls, and texts. I have never met someone more professional. I would recommend Nicole over and over to anyone because she provides such quality in her photos and it was an absolute joy working with her.

From the first call with Camille, I knew we were in the right hands! Despite the super tight timeframe we were working with (1 month), she took the time to really get to know us and our vision, support us along the way, and provide excellent guidance when we were unsure. Other planners we met with were nowhere near as personable, detail oriented, and engaged as Camille. She was so prepared, focused, and never lost sight of both the big picture of the day and how we were doing in the moment. We didn't have a bridal party, but having Camille there felt like having a best friend nearby to help with whatever I needed. She genuinely loves what she does and believes your wedding day should be the best day of your lives and she does everything in her power to make that come true.

Yvonne, the owner herself, and her team did a fantastic job with the mandap/chuppah design and decoration for our wedding. Her entire process is highly customer-oriented; she attends to all the details that matter to the couple and their family members, including design, budget, and execution. As a decorator, she was candid about what would make our wedding special and consistently informed us about necessary expenses, ensuring that the mandap design remained budget-friendly.

Noemi Deluna was amazing! She did my bridal makeup, my four bridesmaids, and my mother for the wedding day. My makeup was so pretty along with everyone in the party that got their makeup done by her. I really felt like a gorgeous bride. My mom said she felt like a movie star and asked for Noemi’s contact information for when she ever needs her makeup done for a fancy event in the future!

I am so pleased with my photos. TWA was helpful and communicative throughout the whole planning process and after the wedding as well! I’d recommend them to anyone. We only did photography, not photobooth or videography, but I love looking at my pictures!!
