Amber Waves Bridal 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Carlock, IL

Welcome! Amber here! Amber Waves Bridal's owner. For years I have worked behind the chair and never branched out to outside venues, then, I moved 1/2 way across the state and figured "what better time to try something new?" I have always had a passion for making women feel beautiful and when better to do it then on their wedding day? I still work behind the chair but on the weekends you can find me traveling all over central Illinois working on-site weddings. I wouldn't trade my job for the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Jared/ Right on Q entertainment for our wedding on 1/15/22. The whole process with him was smooth sailing. He was available for questions at any point in time and was always prompt in responding! He is VERY knowledgeable and was able to assist in creating our reception timeline as well. He was so easy to work with and always made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. The day of he was very professional with all guests and people never left the dance floor. He was very good at reading a crowd. He even listened to my Maid of honor's speech and played a song she mentioned that we didn't even originally request which we thought was a great touch! He truly cares about what he does and the people he works with! My only complaint would be that I don't have a reason to work with him again! Anyone that chooses him for their event will be well taken care of and we highly recommend him to anyone!

Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts

Bloomington, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

The mission of the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts is to create an environment where all forms of artistic expression are appreciated, encouraged, and seen as a contribution to the quality of life in our community. Built-in 1921 as a home for the American Passion Play, the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA), then known as Bloomington's Scottish Rite Temple, boasted an elegant lobby fronted by a graceful five-arched façade, a ballroom that could seat 1,000 diners and a 1,320-seat theatre that featured the largest stage west of New York. In 2000, The City of Bloomington formed the Bloomington Cultural District to assume ownership of the Consistory and surrounding properties to shepherd it through a restoration.

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts and were very pleased with our experience. The venue coordinators were great to work with - communication was quick and easy every step of the way. The open, elegant ballrooms provided a spacious backdrop for our special day. Having an attendant on hand to help with spills and clean up was a huge help. One piece of advice on the bar service - you have to use a vendor with a City of Bloomington liquor license, so don't wait until the last minute to book one like I did! It can take some time to get that squared away. Overall, the value and service was fantastic. The BPAC team helped our wedding vision come to life beautifully.

Sara Gardner Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Carlock, IL

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

Please consider Sara as your photographer for your wedding day. Sara is professional but can also make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you forget she's your photographer. This makes those candid shots so perfect. She spent the day with us & made sure nothing was missed in our photos. When I look at them now, I feel like I am reliving the whole day. I so appreciate the tiny little details she manages to get. Thank you so much, Sara!

The Barrel Room 

5.0

Normal, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

An area once reserved solely for the practical application of aging beers, and on occasion for private beer dinners, we opened up this space for guests to host private events such as ceremonies, receptions, showers & rehearsal dinners. Located within DESTIHL Brewery, the Barrel Room is where you’ll find something unique. Our modern-industrial space is perfect for the craft beer experience, a place where you’ll be greeted with our warm hospitality, and an experience unlike any other in Central Illinois.

We really cannot recommend our experience with DESTIHL enough! We planned both an outdoor ceremony on the grounds, and our reception in the Barrel Room, and felt like we had the most wonderful wedding day with friends and family (especially impressive during the COVID-19 period). You simply cannot beat the quality of food and bar offerings that DESTIHL offers to its guest. That, accompanied by the exceptional service of all the staff we worked with on our big day, really made it such an easy day for us. The cherry on top of the service, is that the staff allowed for us to pull vehicles into a garage bay to leave our reception as it was pouring rain outside - they truly went above and beyond. We are so excited to be working with them again next year, for our full reception for our first anniversary!

I aim to present my work in a way that is 100% timeless and authentic. When you look back at your images, I want it to bring back "all the feels". I want my images to represent you just the way you are, nothing overly edited or changed. My hope is that you will be able to cherish these images for many years to come.

I'm so glad I chose Chelsea for our wedding photography! Chelsea was an absolute joy to work with, and not only is she a talented photographer, she helped organize and plan details for the wedding day schedule. We had a great experience doing engagement photos with her where she made us feel comfortable and stunned us with amazing photos, so we knew our wedding day photos would be great too. She was also very organized, professional, and flexible on the busy wedding day from achieving all the different shots and working with a large group for family portraits. Chelsea was a standout part of our wedding planning experience and made everything go smoothly and now we have beautiful photographs to cherish forever too.

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.8

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Carlock, IL

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
The BEST most nerve wracking decision we made for our big day!!! I was so nervous to go this route but trusted my gut and I’m so glad I did. FM was incredible at walking me through the process and the full service package is worth WAY more than what you pay for it. I felt incredibly prepared for flower arrival from all the phone calls, videos, and paperwork they sent including detailed recipes and schedule for the week. We had some hiccups with Hurricanes and delayed shipping. They called me to initially tell me they would be a day early. Then when they didn’t arrive called again and explained they’d been held up in customs(obviously no ones fault). They then sent out an entire extra box of blooms to be sure we got everything we needed. Flowers were beautiful!!! Spending time with my sisters and family putting them together was truly the most fun wedding prep. My guests and coordinator truly couldn’t believe we had done all our own flowers, and the best part??! We saved ourselves literally thousands!! We would recommend FM to anyone for any occasion anytime.

The Munaco team was incredibly fun to work with. More importantly, they captured our wedding day perfectly! They were professional and punctual, I didn't have to worry about a thing. They were able to capture every aspect of our day without getting in the way or holding things up. Everything felt natural and fun. Tom went above and beyond and sent us a picture from his high resolution film of us with our dogs (in tuxedos of course), because they wouldn't cooperate for the photographer. The raw footage will be fun to look back on in the future when we are old and gray, and the short video is perfect to share with family and friends. I highly recommend Tom and his team, they are top notch and worth the investment!

  • Serves Carlock, IL

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully.

But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

I attended a wedding where Funk Almighty was the band and it was a great time. Being around countless weddings, whether attending or working, I can say that Funk Almighty brought the beats but also kept traditions of a wedding alive. They provided all of their own equipment and have the knowledge to troubleshoot if necessary. Definitely recommend!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Piero was our wedding photographer and I was blown away by the photos he sent us of our wedding the very next morning. From the beginning he was super easy to work with and made sure to respond to messages and questions promptly. He was punctual, kind, professional, and kept our wedding party on task the day of our wedding. His vision for our photos were awesome and turned out stunning.
