My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

Arrae Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Cedar Lake, MI

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Our Wedding hair and makeup Glam Squad is a carefully cultivated crew of the best stylists in Michigan. We all have several years of experience in the wedding industry and are devoted to bringing you confidence on your wedding day with your perfect style of hair and makeup.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Hey there! I got our USB! This is the coolest USB I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanted to reach out again to tell you that you and Jed are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. From the moment you messaged me on Facebook, you’ve been one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and I’m so thankful that I got the pleasure to have you photograph such a milestone in Greg and I’s lifetime. You both were incredibly patient and intuitive to our feelings and needs during the wedding which surpassed any expectations I could have set for a photographer. It’s apparent that you both genuinely love what you do and you both put your entire soul into each client(s) you take on. I received so many compliments from my guests regarding how professional you both were as well. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful these photos are. You put life into all of my visions for the wedding and made them into such pieces of art.

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Wildcrest Studio

  • Serves Cedar Lake, MI

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Honestly I'm gonna cry while typing this, I stumbled into Lexi on a whim. She is hands down the best thing to happen to me. From one photographer to another- she reminds me of HOME! She had done a potential engagement shoot and now a Christmas shoot of my little one and myself. Every single time, she makes me feel so confident, so loved, and so comfortable. She is the best thing I swear! Not only did I create a forever friendship with her, I would recommend her to the stranger on the street because she's THAT good. For someone who prefers to be behind the camera, she made being in front of the camera just as easy and careless. I literally love her. (for context- I've only known her for less than a year, so I'm not just hyping up a normal friend). BOOK HER. I swear.

Michelle did a video for our wedding and I just adore it. My husband and I had a non-traditional wedding at my father's house with a lot of friends/family, but only a few vendors present. I wanted the day to be as low key as possible and was picky about who we hired for the event. Michelle was amazing in every aspect. Before the wedding, she was very communicative. I did not have a wedding planner and wanted the day to be as natural as possible--no strict schedule, but capturing the moments which were special to us. We outlined the event day together and, day of, she was incredible. We had some hiccups with our AV set up and she went above and beyond to help us out with them. She was so thoughtful about how she captured the day and blended right in with our guests. My husband and I both cried when we got our video after the event--as did our friends. I would absolutely recommend her!

They stayed at their station and attended to everything. The DJ was also great - he interacted with guests and joined in on the grooving while doing his job. He was also prompt and organized.

I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

Avery was amazing! She was great with communicating with me about the weather and good times and days for photos leading up to the shoot. Then she arrived on time and was very professional and had poses picked out for us and directed us through the whole thing for amazing pictures. A very short amount of time later we received our beautiful sneak peeks- followed very closely by the rest of our gallery! Could not recommend more I am very happy with her and her work!

My husband and I attended a wedding at the Bissell Tree House in May of 2022, and before we were even engaged I said to him that I wanted us to get married there. This location is so stunning at any time of the year, but during our October 12, 2024 wedding, it couldn't have been more perfect. We had an absolutely gorgeous day and the venue was surrounded by fall colors and just a gorgeous ambience. Hilariously it started raining just as our ceremony was about to start, but because of the overhand of the roof above the ceremony location, no one got wet and we got to have a magical ceremony while the rain was coming down around us. The team is very helpful and worked with our vendors so well. Many of our guests complimented how organized and kind the staff were. Do yourself a favor and get married at the Bissell Tree House, you won't regret it!

I'm Sydney and I own Sydney Marie Photography out of Grand Haven, Michigan. I I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and have photographed over 200 weddings from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland and everywhere between. I started in photography in 2008 and travel all over Michigan for weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities. Capturing the sweetest day and to gift that is unmatched.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough kind things about Rylee! From our initial inquiry meeting all the way to the wedding day, Rylee was enthusiastic, joyful, and just so great to work with. She is so easy to talk to and it felt like I immediately gained a new friend. Her work is beautiful and authentic and really captures the moment perfectly. You can tell she really cares about what she does and also cares about her couples. My husband and I did an engagement session with Rylee too and loved all the photos from that as well. Rylee will be your number one hype girl and will make you feel at ease and comfortable. Would definitely recommend Rylee for any of your photography needs!! :)

Rachelle was an amazing asset to helping me plan and execute my wedding.

We used her day of timeline service as well and it was very helpful to see an exact schedule of when everything would happen. The day of was absolutely amazing! As some minor issues came up (to no fault of Rachelle) she handled them with ease and I did not even know anything was wrong since she took care of things so quickly.

  • Serves Cedar Lake, MI

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

Hello! I'm Cassi. I'm a photographer and videographer based in West Michigan and available for travel. I specialize in weddings, elopements and engagements. I just love, love! I believe every wedding is unique and has a story to tell. I would love to hear about you and your vision.

Cassi responds quickly, puts a ton of energy into understanding exactly what her clients vision is, and she completely captures the magic for them. Cassi was the photographer for my destination wedding in Mexico and she went above and beyond. She took time with my husband and myself making sure we were both comfortable and we were both a priority. She had to go back and forth several times in hot, humid, Mexico heat with her equipment and NEVER missed a beat. She stayed excited and encouraging the whole time. Cassi is such a professional. She has since taken my maternity photos and our family photos. She is amazing and will be with us for life. I would recommend her work to anyone and everyone. She truly makes magic and makes her clients feel so special.

Hi, I’m Matt, and I’m so glad you’re here! Capturing the love, laughter, and magic of weddings is more than my job—it’s my passion. Every couple has a unique story, and I’m dedicated to telling yours authentically and beautifully.

Matthew Blome Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, detailed, and fastidious - putting our minds at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, they were true hard workers, dedicated to capturing every special moment with an artistic eye. The way they styled the small details of our day, in ways we didn't even think of, really made the photos stand out. We are thrilled with the quality of their work and feel it was completely worth the investment. We would highly recommend Matthew Blome Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and passionate wedding photographer.
