Bweddings' passion is to create a unifying vision with our client, and leverage our strong vendor relationships in the Chicagoland wedding and event industry to allow for creative collaboration in the design, planning and coordination process saving our clients hours of wedding planning and vendor sourcing.

I am the MOB and we had my daughter’s wedding last month. We knew from the get go that I was doing the decor and flowers, but wanted to be just the MOB the day of. We searched for a planner that would meet this request and are so happy to have decided on Barbara and her team. After our first interview with Barbara, we were impressed with her professionalism and understanding of what we were looking for. The whole process was very smooth, from personalizing the contract to our specific needs to the communication during the months leading to the event. What was amazing though was what happened the day of. They took care of EVERYTHING!!! Not only did they carry our decor vision down to the dot, but went the extra mile with decoration and details adding their own touch with great taste and elegance. They made sure that the Bride and groom were well taken care of. I was so surprised at how smooth everything went, no stress, timeline was followed and event was a success. The team that stayed until the end of the party moved around like ninjas! Before I knew it they had packed everything and taken care of all of the vendors. Best money spent! Highly recommended.

The Original Rainbow Cone 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Bradley, IL

The Original Rainbow Cone has been a staple in Chicago for over 95 years! We serve our signature combination of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio and Orange Sherbet sliced and stacked on a cone. We also offer other flavors upon request. We offer on-site catering with our trucks for outdoor events, and our pop up ice cream social service for indoor events!

Really great alternative to cake at a wedding. All the guest loved it and it was something different. From the start they were easy to work with and went out of their way to accommodate us. This included visiting the venue before the day to come up with a plan, showing up earlier then needed to set up, and staying a little later then scheduled.

KAS Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Bradley, IL

I love being able to capture those endearing, authentic laughs, and just “in the moment” moments. I believe photos are a timeless way to relive that special moment. Memories are one of the most beautiful things we as humans have, so why not have that memory frozen in time where you can physically see it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Karla did my business promo shoot, in which was a very spontaneous decision on my behalf.. being that I am pretty awkward and do not really enjoy “modeling”. I was super awkward the whole shoot but Karla made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh the whole time. It honestly didn’t even feel unnatural at all as she captured my most genuine moments. She really helped me with “easing up” since I tend to get stiff and just as awkward as can be. She was extremely professional, friendly, funny, caring and patient! She managed to capture my best angles in which surprised me because my whole life I always get pictures taken of me and my lovely best friend AKA my double chin. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer for any and every occasion possible. She comes off as a friend and not a stranger at all, which is why I’m looking forward to booking any future shoots I plan to take and she will also be the only person I am confident in recommending to others! SHE IS THE BEST.

Our team of creative souls, organized planners, open communicators, and fierce negotiators will work with you every step of the way to bring your biggest event dreams to life.

We stumbled upon Dave accidentally but what a clear meet/cute - stars aligning moment. We were lucky enough to have Dave work with us for a little over 2 years to make our dream wedding come true. He was great about staying in contact even when we were far out from making big decisions, as we creeped closer and closer to the big day we began meeting monthly or bi-weekly. I never had one moment throughout the entire planning process where I had concern for his bandwidth or frustrations that either I or my other vendors may have caused. What I think I loved most, was his understanding of my vision. He took the time to understand what my husband and I both wanted and envisioned. On the big day, Dave was like the wind - he was EVERYWHERE but NOWHERE. I didn't have one person (vendor related) speak to me and when issues did arise, they always will no matter how hard you plan, he was able to make executive decisions without a hesitation knowing I had full trust in him. I couldn't imagine having done the wedding without him and am forever grateful for these past 2 years. I can't wait to hire him back in 15-20 years for a renewal ;)

I cannot share enough what a wonderful experience we had with Monica and hiring state of glamor for our wedding in March. Monica was super professional, easy and fun to work with, and did a fantastic job communicating throughout the process. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and nailed it! I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup so I was very nervous going in, and Monica did such a great job of explaining everything and really giving me a natural glamorous look. She did a wonderful job during the trial and really took the time to make sure I was absolutely in love with my look! I was so happy with how my makeup and hair turned out the day of the wedding and when we received photos back it was truly amazing to see how well the hair and make up photographed! All of my bridesmaids who received makeup and hair services were also very impressed! Monica and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend them for anyone's wedding day!

Services Offered: -Photo -Video -DJ -Photo Booth -Formalwear *Remember to ask about our bundle packages

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Bradley, IL

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering™ has been serving the Chicagoland community for over 25 years. We are committed to offering freshly prepared gourmet foods and ingredients with excellent service to all of our clients. We provide a variety of services and have everything needed to suit catering needs for parties of 2-2,000. At Pear Tree Catering we strive to not only create delicious food, but also create an ambiance and night to remember for all of our guests. We can take care of everything from table decorations and themed centerpieces to costumed servers, anything we can do to ensure a dynamic and memorable occasion for our clients.

Pear Tree catered my daughter’s wedding, which we hosted in our backyard. They did an amazing job in all aspects, including the delicious food, the beautiful presentation, and the phenomenal staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top-notch catering company. Shelly, as well as her entire staff, was delightful to work with – throughout the event planning stage as well as during the wedding itself. I was aiming for a very specific ambiance to my party, and Shelly listened carefully, understood my goals, and produced a party which totally matched those goals. With her extensive knowledge and creative ideas, she actually enhanced my objectives. When the wedding day came and Pear Tree arrived, I had total confidence that all of my hard work had come to an end – I knew that they would now take over the work while I enjoyed the wedding day – and that is exactly what happened. Shelly took the lead in executing every detail that we had discussed during the planning stages; yet remained flexible enough to make judgment calls where it was appropriate to do so. In regard to the setup of the food, she went above and beyond to create beautiful displays. As far as the food quality, I’ve never before had so many guests at my party approach me to let me know how wonderful the food was – and we had many foodies at our wedding! For certain items, I was told that they were the best in class! Shelly and her staff were accessible and easy to communicate with throughout the party – whether it be timing requests based on how many of my guests had arrived, or a personal favor (i.e., could you please offer a watermelon skewer to my daughter, the bride). They were efficient, polite, and respectful to everyone. When it came time for cleanup, they once again went above and beyond. Not only did they leave all cooking and serving areas immaculate, but they cleaned up parts of the party that they had not even been responsible for – i.e., gathering up the centerpieces, candy, nuts, etc. They even wrapped all leftover food and neatly packed it into my refrigerator. If you want to host a first-class party while minimizing your stress throughout the event planning stage as well as during the party itself, I highly recommend Pear Tree Catering!

Beauty by Charisse K

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $225
  • Serves Bradley, IL

I am a Chicago, Illinois mobile makeup artist specializing in soft glam, high glam, prom, photoshoots and bridal wedding makeup since 2014. I am very passionate about makeup artistry and uplifting people through the power of makeup. I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.

  • Serves Bradley, IL

Exquisitely Designed Events by Veronica is a planning company servicing the Greater Chicagoland Area offering personalized wedding design and planning services. ​ At Exquisitely Designed, we collaborate with our couples to internalize their dreams, conceptualize a vision, and deliver a wedding as unique as their love story. ​ Our goal is to create an event to surpass your expectations!

Veronica is truly the best wedding coordinator out there. She and her team went above and beyond and my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! Veronica was involved with the wedding planning months beforehand (unlike most wedding coordinators I spoke to!) and she was so detailed and organized that she truly put my type-A personality at ease!!! I knew I was in the best of hands after our first conversation and on the wedding day I was completely relaxed because I knew I could trust her to handle any hiccups. She also did my floral arrangements and was present at all the meetings with the venue and caterer to make sure that everyone was aligned on my vision. When she showed me the reception hall before my guests arrived it took my breath away-- it was even better than I envisioned!!! Her eye for detail is incredible and my reception decorations were breathtaking. I also have to acknowledge Veronica's assistant Sharae because she too was the best ever-- I definitely walked away from my wedding weekend with a new best friend. Sharae kept me calm and laughing on my wedding day and made the entire pre-ceremony experience SO MUCH FUN!!! Honestly, my wedding day would have felt much different if Sharae wasn't there. I actually got emotional saying goodbye because she was such an important part of my day too. I never thought I would grow so close to a wedding vendor, but I now consider Veronica, Sharae, and the entire Exquisitely Designed Events team like family. They truly made my wedding the best day ever!!!
