We reached out to Petal Station for our wedding after seeing their beautiful work at my brother's wedding. We worked with Jocelyn, who was very engaged from early on and frequently checked in with us as we progressed to the wedding date to make sure that their preparations were matching our vision and budget. The centerpieces, garlands, and bouquets were all very high quality, fresh and beautiful. More than a month later my bouquet, though dried, still smells lovely. Jocelyn skillfully interpreted our vague ideas about color scheme and style into cherished elements of our wedding day. I highly recommend working with Jocelyn and Petal Station!

Ryan Moore Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Winthrop Harbor, IL

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

As a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.

I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, Cat, for providing such a nice experience for my wedding day! I will be forever grateful.

Since our founding in 2015, we’ve been providing expert planning advice and helping clients curate the wedding of their dreams. We are proud to be a woman-owned and operated business! To have the opportunity to play a role in our clients’ wedding day is truly a special gift. We respect our clients’ visions and values, planning each wedding with the utmost care.

We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!

Allie's documentary style immediately spoke to me (and of course, her film work.) She has SUCH an eye for detail and capturing the most intimate photos, no matter what kind of wedding you're having. She beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, from the more traditional portraits and pretty details to the most meaningful documentary-style shots with our family and guests. And like other reviewers have said, shooting with her feels like hanging out with a friend. From the moment we first spoke with Allie, her warm, friendly, and approachable demeanor put us at ease. My husband and I's favorite moments from the big day were sneaking off to shoot some cool photos with Allie. And she had So Many Amazing in-the-moment ideas for shots. All of them ended up being our favorites. Whenever we had a hick up in the day or something didn't go entirely as planned, Allie completely went with the flow and adjusted on the fly to get the most fun and genuine photos. We're thrilled with our both our wedding and engagement pictures and are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly! If you're considering Allie for your photographer, do it!

Not only was the ceremony everything I could have dreamed for, there was humor, there was sentiment, and there was a lot of love that day! Leading up to our wedding Ash was incredibly easy to work with, he answered all of my question in an extremely fast manner, his communication was top notch, and he truly cared to make our ceremony as special as our love! For the ceremony and reception we used bishop weddings music attendant service which was FLAWLESS! The music seemed to flow from the heavens and rather speakers! They seriously set us up for such a lovely day!

Cage Aquarium were the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, their (DJ Ligo) communication was direct, quick, and friendly - they were a breeze to work with. The quality of their work and value was incredible. They followed our directions to a tee and were incredibly thorough in incorporating all of our favorite songs and keeping the party going all night long. The DJ created an amazing party atmosphere, and played the music at the perfect timings. We couldn't have asked for a better team to make our special day so memorable. Highly recommend Cage Aquarium for any couple looking for a top-notch DJ!
