Alena Michelle Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Clare, IL

Nice to meet you, I’m Alena or lena, whatever you want to call me. My simple pleasures in life are rare plants, good coffee, and soft music (aka, lots of Bon Iver & Gregory Alan Isakov) More importantly, you guys, my clients. With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

Lauren Canitia, Violinist 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $230
  • Serves Clare, IL

Based in Rockford, Illinois, professional violinist Lauren Canitia provides beautiful and affordable music for wedding ceremonies and other memorable occasions. This classically trained musician has performed in Chicago and beyond at orchestral concerts, weddings, church services, memorials and summer festivals. From solo performances to instrumental groups, Lauren Canitia offers enchanting music that will wow your wedding guests.

Lauren provided a unique sound to the wedding. She was easy to work with, had a list of songs to choose from, but was also willing to learn new songs as well. People enjoyed listening to the elegance of her violin during the wedding and cocktail hour. It made the entire experience personal and everyone enjoyed listening to her play. I’d recommend her in an instant to anyone who wants to add simple elegance and joy-filled music memories to their day!

I had the opportunity to capture a wedding at this stunning campus. The ceremony took place at Fisher Memorial Chapel. The chapel was incredibly beautiful, with its unique architecture and serene atmosphere. After the ceremony, the celebration moved to Regents Hall, a charming venue with magnificent windows all around. The natural light streaming through the windows added a touch of magic to the reception. The hall's location on the campus, surrounded by rolling hills, provided the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments. If you're looking to create a memorable and visually stunning wedding album. I highly recommend considering this campus. I suggest inquiring about a tour to see it for yourself and experience the beauty firsthand.

The Good Kidds 

4.5

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Clare, IL

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

Sarcasm & Sunshine Designs Flower Preservation 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Clare, IL

Sarcasm & Sunshine Designs is comprised of two friends, turned business partners. We worked together for several years planning events and weddings, so we have a shared love of sparkle, flowers, coffee, and making beautiful memories! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our growth as friends, mothers and confidants, than to combine our creativity and passions to create one of a kind items to brighten the days and lives of others. Our business, our products, and our partnership is all about balance, Contessa is the Sarcasm, Danielle is the Sunshine. Some days, we switch roles, but we think life is better with both!

Having my wedding flowers preserved was extremely important to me. To be able to keep something perfectly preserved that was so beautiful on my special day is unreal. Danielle is the kindest and easiest person to work with. She gets back to you within seconds and listens to any and every crazy request I had. Along with a tray, wine stopper, ornament, and book mark, Danielle was able to take part of my Mother’s wedding dress (that was wrapped around my bouquet) and preserve it in a jewelry box with my flowers. Let me tell you, the reaction my mom had on her face when I gave her that jewelry box was indescribable. If you are ever second guessing preserving your wedding flowers, this is your sign to do it. You won’t regret it! Sarcasm and Sunshine’s work is impeccable and I hope that others are able to have their flowers preserved with such care and precision as I was able to have mine.

Exquisitely Designed Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Clare, 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!!!
