  • Serves Woodstock, IL

Hi my name is Alyson and I am the owner and lead wedding planner of Birdcage and Blushers Weddings! Birdcage and Blushers is a bespoke wedding planning company that provides personalized and elevated wedding planning support to couples who have high expectations and impeccable taste.

Alyson served as our day-of coordinator in August of 2024, but she got to work well ahead of our big day. She spent a generous amount of time understanding our vision, our preferences, and our non-negotiables. She was on site with us for venue walkthroughs and established communication with our vendors ahead of time. She also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were on track. She was a bona fide problem solver, including helping our DJ sort out access issues with our venue, ensuring our guests didn’t walk through our aisle before the ceremony, and running across the street at the eleventh hour to buy eyelash glue. She even helped us bustle the wedding dress between the ceremony and reception when we couldn’t figure it out. We are really grateful for everything she did and we highly recommend working with her for your special day.

Hi, I'm Tatyana, owner of Tatyana Zadorin Photography, a professional wedding photographer based out of Dallas, TX, serving couples in the DFW, North TX area and other destinations. I specialize in capturing candid, photojournalistic moments that reflect the essence of love and connection.

My images draw you into the moment, capturing the love, connection, and joy you share. They blend a timeless, romantic with candid authenticity, creating a gallery of photos that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

I cannot recommend Tatyana enough! I found her just two weeks before my wedding, and I was honestly so stressed about finding a reliable photographer at the last minute. From the moment we first reached out to her, she was incredibly flexible with our schedule, which made things so much easier during the hectic final stretch of wedding planning. Tatyana was punctual, professional, and went above and beyond to capture every special moment. Her eye for detail and the way she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera really shows in the stunning photos she delivered. We are beyond happy with the beautiful shots she took – they truly captured the essence of our day in a way I never could’ve imagined. If you're looking for a talented, dependable photographer who can roll with the punches and deliver amazing results, look no further! I’m so grateful we found her, and I would recommend Tatyana to anyone who wants gorgeous, timeless wedding photos. Thank you, Tatyana, for helping make our day so memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.

AC Beauty Team

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Woodstock, IL

Angelica Chrysler is the owner/operator of AC Beauty Co., a professional destination/traveling licensed & insured beauty expert based out of three major cities, including Chicago, IL, Orlando, FL, and Nashville, TN. Angelica and her team have over 10 years of experience specializing in the wedding industry. They're an experienced, on-time, quick to respond, and always organized on-site bridal hair and makeup team that consists of only seasoned artists who connect with their clients on every level to create exactly what you need, accommodating all skin tones and hair textures.

I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

We know that flowers play a significant role in your celebration, and we are committed to making sure they reflect your unique style and personality.

Goodlove Arts was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding florals. From the start, Sherri was a great listener, receptive to my vision, and very detail-oriented. After our first chat about my vision for our wedding florals, she sent me a concept board through her website to show me flowers, colors, and examples to bring the "vibe" I was going for, and to seek my feedback to see if she was on track after our conversation. This helped me feel so at ease - From the start, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. As we approached our wedding day, Sherri was instrumental in ensuring every detail would be executed perfectly. The beautiful, lush live florals Sherri designed truly brought the entire wedding theme, colors, and reception venue to life. When I share my wedding pictures, the first comment people make is, "THAT BOUQUET!" Goodlove Arts was instrumental in making our special day everything we had dreamed of.

I am Renae, the creator and photographer of City Savvy Imaging. Based in Chicago, I started Weddings in 2009. I have an undergraduate degree in photography and fine art from Illinois State University. I also have a Masters in Elementary Education. Photography has always been my passion. I took my first photography class in high school when dark rooms were still utilized. I continued my education in photography through college where I began photographing in digital as well as film. Fine art was a large part of my studies which plays a major roll in my photography as it enhances my use of color, light, composition and space.

City Savvy has worked at our venue numerous time--and every time our clients are thrilled with the photos. Renae knows how to capture all the special, unnoticed moments along with all the big details of the day. Her photos always tell a beautiful story, and we highly recommend her to our clients.

Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

I want to send a special thanks to Widlet!! Not only was he my wedding photographer, he was personalable and his photo suggestions were great! My bridal party and i absolutely loved Widlet!!!!!

I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

Kiersten is amazing to work with. She makes her clients feel very comfortable during their session and knows how to capture the candid photos that everyone loves. Her attention to detail is unmatched and the time she takes to carefully edit every photo to make them flawless is appreciated. The memories captured will forever hold a place in the hearts of her clients all thanks to her!

Sonya was awesome. She was there from the beginning coordinating with all vendors and making sure the vendors are on time for the wedding as well as for the reception. On the day of the wedding, we did not needed to do anything other than to follow her instructions. All of the vendors were on time and provided an excellent experience to our guests as well as for us. Sonya is a go getter and I would highly recommend her for anyone that need any event coordination.
