Synergy Studios was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding photography and my Boudoir photoshoot. From our very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and responsive - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Raven took charge and directed us in the best ways to get some truly beautiful and dynamic photos that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. The final images were incredibly artistic and we were so grateful for Raven's encouraging and uplifting energy, which made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Synergy Studios is not only incredibly talented, but also super kind - they truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day feel extra special. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

I would like to highly recommend the Abbington Distinctive Banquets. We held both our ceremony and reception at this venue and was very pleased! We selected this venue based on its elegance (I absolutely loved the north ball room which features oversized windows allowing beautiful natural lighting, oversized chandeliers, and neutral color tones blending that blended well with our color palette. We also loved the fact that they have an option to host the ceremony in a separate room from the reception which was an absolute must for me, I am very particular and a little hard to deal with at times due to my over attention to detail and wanting every single detail preplanned and perfectly executed. Tara my venue coordinator was very accommodating to my "type A" personality :) She was very patient with me no matter how many times I contacted her, or regardless of how many times I stopped by the venue to run through things or do mock set ups, and was always just a email/ phone call away throughout the entire planning process. Leading up to the wedding one thing that I had not thought about prior to booking this venue is that we wanted a traditional soul food cuisine and the venue does not offer outside catering. Tara went above and beyond to meet my needs by helping us put together a custom menu using items from their various banquet menus. She also allowed us to request extra seasonings and provide details on how to turn their traditional menu Mac and cheese to "southern style baked Mac and cheese to give the food the southern flare we desired. The chef did an amazing job of executing it and the food was delicious and an absolute hit! My family (including the great aunties and grandparents) whom are tuff food critics were very pleased! We had absolutely NO complaints with anything related to the venue on our big day and would like to thank the staff at the Abbington Distinctive Banquets for being top tier! Everything was perfect!!!

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

  • Serves Aurora, IL

I (Karin) remember how I felt planning my wedding. Things I had never thought about before suddenly became the most important things to me. I researched like crazy and made inspiration pages in my wedding binder (before the days of Pinterest) so I had a clear idea of what I wanted. Above all I knew I wanted the most BEAUTIFUL photos that represented us. And even though we did all this work to find a great photographer, we were so disappointed with our photos. Now, I realized what mistakes I made and what I wish somebody would have shared with me when I was choosing a photographer.

We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff from Ev Photography Chicago for our wedding photography. Jeff was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions and making helpful suggestions. On the wedding day, Jeff's calm demeanor and ability to adapt on the fly when our trolley broke down really stood out. He helped us manage the situation and made sure we stayed on track to capture all the special moments we envisioned. Jeff has a very personal, elegant, and creative photography style that resulted in gorgeous and meaningful images from our special day. It's clear he cares deeply about capturing the essence of his couples. The photographs Jeff delivered far surpassed our expectations. We're so grateful to have these stunning visual memories of our wedding, and highly recommend Ev Photography Chicago!

The Voyaging Alchemist: Mobile Coffee and Cocktail Bar

  • Offer

I began my work as a barista when I moved to Chicago from Florida for my BFA. I fell in love with the energy of the city and of my little shop. From drink design to customer service to simple conversations that left all involved with a grin. Sadly, that little shop closed and I decided to make the move from coffee to cocktails. I spent the next year working my way from bar back to main bartender. With my new title came new adventures in event coordination, and cocktail design. Which brings us to today, where I have the privilege of working with couples to create unique drinks that have their guests coming back for more.

We hired Laura to bartend for our holiday Open House which entailed serving 60 people over 4 hours as well as creating 2 seasonal drinks "Muletide Greetings" and ""Good Tidings of Gin" (both with or without alcohol). We had never had a bartender before and it turned out to be the hit of the party. Guests loved the drinks as well as her personable, professional service and Jan and I especially loved that we didn't have to worry about refilling drinks and could just chat and laugh with all of our company. We are definitely going to bring Laura back for our next big event in the summer. She worked with us in advance to plan the drink menu and shopping list and arrived an hour early and set up a professional, welcoming, festive bar and her holiday (pictured). She kept the bar clean and orderly and when things got slow circulated to ask people what they wanted. She also has the perfect personality - pleasant and professional and not over the top gabby. It is all about featuring the home and family and not her. She left the bar as clean as when she came and bottom line, we could not have asked for more. She earned and deserved our highest rating and recommendation.

Seven family members are active in the Chicago floral business, which now reaches beyond Chicago, too. For nationwide flower delivery, Phillip's was recently named one of the Top 50 florists in North America, the company's online flower shops have earned it honors, and Phillip's has also been named an Illinois Retailer of the Year. Phillip's Flowers may be best known locally for its colorful floral shops, busy delivery vehicles, and custom wedding flowers. Still, in an age of giant corporations and mega-mergers, it's nice to know that some small family businesses like Phillip's are blooming, too.

Phillip's Flowers is the absolute best! The flowers and decor were absolutely perfect! We worked with Laura Walsh and her team, and they were truly outstanding. At our first meeting, Laura guided us through every step of the process, took detailed notes, and asked questions to help us think through every detail. She even made arrangements based on our wedding colors. At our second meeting, she created more bouquets and centerpieces, which really allowed us to visualize what to expect on our wedding day. Laura was incredibly patient and understanding of last-minute changes. She is knowledgeable, flexible, and truly cares about her customers. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Hi I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist i am also certified in airbrush makeup I have work with several bridal companies but finally want to do something for myself I have also worked with Asian/Indian/Pakistani brides

From the moment I walked into All Seasons Beauty Salon, I felt like they cared about my vision for my day. The staff was fast, friendly, and flexible . Their attention to detail was impeccable, and the quality of their work was simply just right. I left feeling cared for and confident that I looked my absolute best on my wedding day. I cannot recommend All Seasons Beauty Salon enough to any couple looking for a talented, professional team to help make their special day unforgettable.
