We worked with Alyce specifically and she did a great job helping us decide on a design. The delivery of the cake was very smooth as well and they were even able to use our decorations (e.g., cake toppers, flowers, etc.) to decorate the cake. Alyce and Zingerman's Bakehouse were also very flexible in being able to change our cake to a gluten-free variety only a couple of weeks before the wedding. Our guests loved the cake as well. Everything came out exactly how we pictured.

As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

We had the wedding day of our dreams at Stonebridge. This venue is gorgeous with many options for personalization(decoration wise) and photos. The indoor/outdoor versatility is awesome so guests don’t feel confined to one area throughout the night. The staff is amazing and always there to make sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I didn’t have to go and get ourselves drinks/snacks the entire time because we were constantly asked if we needed anything. The food is delicious! Our guests raved this was the best wedding food they’ve ever eaten. The staff is super personable and accommodating which you will realize from the very moment you step into Stonebridge for a wedding consultation. Every single aspect we discussed was orchestrated for us on our big day and MORE! I have to give a well deserved shoutout to Kim, Jeff and Hannah for playing a special part in making our wedding dreams come true. We have said multiple times since our wedding that we would not change a single thing about our amazing day and that was all thanks to the amazing people at Stonebridge. This is THE venue!! And I guarantee you will not regret your decision to have your wedding here.

You want your wedding photos to look and feel like you. You don’t want to turn the pages of your album years from now and wonder why unnatural colors were ever a photography trend, and you don’t want to regret looking overly posed or awkward. That’s where I come in.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey had been the wedding photographer for a friend of ours and when we saw what she had done, we knew we wanted to use her services too. We not only used her for our wedding, we also did an engagement session and we had the best experience! My husband needed some help being comfortable around a camera and she made it fun and also captured so many candid photos which was perfect because he can run out of smiles if he is posing too much. We enjoyed all the time we got to spend with Kelsey because she is able to provide timeless photos that melt the hearts of all those that see them and she can also keep things moving quickly and efficiently! Our wedding was in February and there had been a snow storm a couple days before, she was able to make my dream outdoor winter photos a reality and I still can't stop looking through them all! She kept us and our wedding party on task when we needed to be but always made sure to ask if there were other photos I wanted. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough to anyone who is at a life milestone, she will win your hearts with her attitude, professionalism, and overall demeanor, not to mention the fantastic pictures you will receive! I hope that we have another opportunity to work with Kelsey at our next life milestone!! Thanks Kelsey!

Since 2007, I have truly enjoyed sharing music and great times with old friends and new. From a cross country trip to Reno or a house party here in Ann Arbor, each gig has been a gift of sounds and fun for me. I believe the right music can bring people together in a way nothing else can - making a good time great, and a great time unforgettable. I really can’t even call this my “job”, it is an opportunity to make people happy and share my love of music. The music... THE song that takes you back to a memory of past days or a new one you just made.

DJ PK Events LLC was fantastic to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Patrick's communication was quick and helpful, answering all of our questions promptly. On the day of, he was incredibly professional, accommodating, and helpful - DJ PK was more than accommodating when things were ahead or behind schedule and was sure to keep us informed throughout the event.

I'm finding it hard to summarize my experience with Zingerman's Cornman Farms into a simple, short review because of the amount of work and tireless effort that was put into my experience here. Tabitha, Kieron, Olivia, Kirsten, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Cornman Farms put absolutely everything they could into helping me plan my July 31, 2020 wedding on the farm. For the past 10 months, I have been working closely with the staff here to execute our outdoor, 85 person wedding and it has been nothing short of one of the best experiences I have ever been a part of. Zingerman's Cornman Farms is the most charming and beautiful property with so much to offer couples who choose to get married at the venue. From the beginning, our expectations were met with top-notch customer service and all-inclusive experience. I wanted to book this venue for my wedding since I came across it on a google search, but after seeing the property, the 1800s farmhouse, barn, lush fields and gardens, we were absolutely sure we weren't going to explore any other options. In the middle of our wedding planning, we were thrown a global pandemic which posed a huge problem for gathering. Tabitha and the Cornman Farms team were so gracious and prompt in replying to emails, messages, zoom calls, etc. during the entire shut down and included such an empathetic, supportive tone. We knew from the beginning of the shutdown that we were going to get married on our wedding day no matter the circumstances, but we were a million times thankful that Cornman Farms chose to stick with us and do everything in their power to host our event on their property with accommodations and safety measures in place. On the actual day of our wedding, we were greeted by several people to help, including a concierge, and farm production and execution staff. Each moment of our day was orchestrated perfectly and it is because of all the work the Cornman Farms staff does (especially behind the scenes). Our wedding looked a bit different than a traditional wedding because of the circumstances, but Cornman Farms put every effort into making it perfect that we wouldn't have changed a thing even if we could have. Our day was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degrees and ended with the most picturesque watercolor sunset. We still can't believe everything happened, and that it was real. Our guests raved about every detail and we think about our wedding every single day. Zingerman's will always have our business, we will always be thankful to Cornman Farms and the people there, and we cannot wait to come back to the property for events and anniversaries in the future. Thank you Cornman Farms for playing such a huge role in our love story!

Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Nezrin, you can call me Nez. My inspiration comes from everyday things and sounds that surround us, often overlooked, that make us feel good. My heart is driven by the desire to convey emotions and narrate love stories, so my photography transcends the ordinary, offering a blend of simplicity, natural elegance, and timeless beauty. My work is not just about capturing moments. It's about unveiling the profound connection between couples and making each wedding distinct and deeply personal.

We had a great experience! She made us feel so comfortable, turning a walk in the park into some memories of our wedding day that will last for a lifetime. When we reached out to Lady Moon, she responded quickly. We knew we wanted to be married outside but didn't have a location at the time, so she helped us pick the perfect spot for a fall wedding. She was ready to go when we arrived, making us feel relaxed and comfortable immediately. She had several spots picked out for photos and suggested an excellent location for our ceremony. We didn't have to do anything, and the photos were amazing! Overall, we were so happy with the service that we used her a second time for our family photo, and we'll continue to do so in the future. I would highly recommend Lady Moon Photography.

LG Event Design is a full service event planning company with 12+ years of experience ranging from the most intimate, heartfelt weddings all the way to the flawless execution of multi-million dollar corporate functions.

From the moment that my fiancé and I Zoomed with Lisa during our initial consult, we felt at ease and in good hands. We laughed, bonded, and began our planning journey together that would last over a year. I had a lot of big dreams and visions, and Lisa took each of them seriously but respectfully as we navigated budgets and venue restrictions. I often referred to Lisa as my fairy god mother because she truly made my vision come to life. While she created and executed thoughtful details that brought me to tears over my wedding weekend, she was also a solace and cheerleader for me during the emotional, difficult parts of wedding planning. Her advice, wisdom, and knowledge about the wedding industry is vast but also detailed and tailored to her clients. She quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and made sure to introduce us to vendors that we would mesh well with. Lisa continuously impressed us with her knowledge of venues and vendors – sometimes knowing more about venues than the venue itself! I never felt as if she was trying to upsell us in order to make more money or to work with a vendor just because she liked them. Lisa’s guidance and professionalism led us to having the most perfect, flawless day that we could have ever hoped for. When my hotel room didn’t have a full length mirror while I was getting ready, she bought one on her way to the venue. That is only one small example of the attention to detail and love that Lisa puts towards her clients and events. She is a seasoned professional that is enjoyable, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I will miss working with her. Thank you for such an amazing experience and incredible wedding!

Venue considerations

  • Dance floor not included
I recently hosted an event upstairs at Peridot and it was amazing! The space was beautiful, intimate and private for our group. The staff from initial inquiry to menu planning to bartenders and servers could not have been better. I was already in love with the food and drinks prior to booking the space and the quality was absolutely equal to downstairs. This will be my go to space for any future events of this size.
