Bisoux Event Co.

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Country Club Hills, IL

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Lisa was an absolute dream to work with. From the initial planning, to coordinating all of our vendors, and then of course the day-of timeline, flow, and impromptu problem solving. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough. She made our wedding day incredibly special and for that, I’m so grateful.

Our dance floor was never empty!!! Dj Wrek, Jason from Turntable manners was amazing! the whole process of planning our wedding reception with him as so easy and simple. The reception ran so smoothly because Jason was on the ball and once the dance floor was open it wasnt empty, he read the room, knew when to change to the next song and what was needed to keep it pumping. He also listened to our specific request for songs we had as must plays and the final song of the night was perfect and a core memory for us.

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise. I fully trusted her in the process and knowing that definitely took stress off of us. The best part, is she is just an awesome human!! I highly recommend Madi for your wedding!!

We are a full service Chicago catering company with over 15 years of experience, specializing in a wide array of culinary expressions. We service all types of events including weddings, social, corporate, and non-profits. We offer full dinner service, bar services, interactive dinner stations, late-night snacks, and brunch menus. We have an expansive selection of menus for you to choose from, including Latin & American Fusion, Traditional Mexican, Taco Bar, and Italian.

The staff was so helpful and professional! We didn’t have a wedding planner, so I organized and labeled everything as best as I could and the staff set everything up for us - the centerpieces, the place settings, the favors, our cake table, and our altar. I was able to send updated seating charts to the catering lead Marcela to help coordinate meal selections and guests placements, as well as who to serve what. I really appreciated the flexibility when it came to my brothers - both of them have autism and can be picky eaters, so I asked to have two kids meals set aside in case they didn’t like the food. And even though both boys ended up eating the main choices, Marcela had their kids meals set aside in to-go containers for the road. Dinner was delicious and everyone loved the churro cart & hot cocoa bar. Highly recommend the beef barbacoa and pollo mole, and instead of bread we opted for warm tortillas! We loved the unique menu and how we had the option to customize the menu to suit our guests. We loved that we had the option to build our contract a la cart: we paid for the use of their liquor license and their bartenders for the night, but we supplies the booze and cocktail accoutrements, which saved us a ton of money since we couldn’t really calculate all the drinking guests we had. Table linens and flatware were included, but they did have options to upgrade for things like glassware. It was so relaxing to know how on top of it the team was so we didn’t have to worry. And with how expensive and confusing most chicago catering companies were, the affordability and transparency of Cocina Fusion was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Cocina Fusion enough.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

We booked Sam for our elopement at City Hall in October and cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him! From the very beginning, he was organized and communicative and put us totally at ease. The day of our marriage ceremony, he was the absolute best third wheel, making the day feel special by hyping us up and also disappearing into the background so that we could have some special moments that felt more private. Neither my husband or I had ever done a formal photoshoot before but we both felt so comfortable with Sam that it wasn't awkward. And most importantly, the end product was phenomenal. Sam had edited (and shared with us!) more than half the gallery by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous (the colors, the lighting, the framing of the shots) and perfectly capture our special day. We feel so seen. 10/10 would book again!

The Lytle House was hands down the highlight of our wedding day. Robyn is hands on, always available whenever we had questions, beyond sweet, accommodating to all of our vendors and was there throughout the whole night if we needed her. Their space is truly unique and special and you really get the sense of community and the pride they take in their space. We were lucky enough to have the most perfect weather the day of our wedding and the courtyard was the most amazing place for our ceremony and outdoor hangout space for our guests throughout the night. The pictures do not do this place justice so be sure to go check it out! It is very spacious and the opposing indoor/outdoor spaces gave our guests plenty of options to hang out throughout the night. We had issues with our food truck vendor where they were not able to pull into the courtyard of the Lytle House but there was plenty of space right outside the venue near the driveway where they would have been able to pull in so it still worked out perfectly. We were able to open the courtyard doors for the guests that gave everyone full access to the ice cream truck which was amazing. From the ivy wall to the mural to the lights outside over the courtyard, each small detail did not go unnoticed and made for an unforgettable night and plenty of photo opps!

My husband and I were looking for a wedding venue for our June wedding and stumbled on this location based off other Zola reviews and we are so grateful we did. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Its everything I wanted in terms of it being and open rustic vibe. We added very little decor to the space because the space is beautiful in its own right. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and the patio space. We had both our ceremony and reception here. Jen was a joy to work with. She was super responsive easy to communicate with and answered revert single question I had. Would highly reccomend if you’re looking for a beautiful open ceremony/reception space. You will not be disappointed.

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

We have worked with Chelsea for engagement photos, wedding photos, and just because photos. A photographer is the one person you are with the whole wedding day, so picking Chelsea was a no brainer. She gets the job done, but does so with kindness and through friendship. She also does a great job of getting us out of our comfort zone. Our wedding photos are truly stunning and are hung up throughout the house. She will be our go to photographer for all future needs! Thanks again Chelsea!

Daniela Cardili tells the story of your wedding day with heartfelt images that artfully portray this very personal event. She combines her unique sense of style and her passion for photography to create a photographic document that captures special moments, relationships, and love. Her style reflects a mix of a photojournalist’s reflexes, a portraitist’s eye, and the strong influence of the worlds of beauty and fashion. She continues to build on her abundant natural talent by attending workshops and seminars to keep up with the latest trends in wedding photography.

highly recommend Daniela as a wedding photographer. She has a wonderful personality that makes you feel at ease in front of the camera, even during the hectic rush of a wedding day. Daniela and her team were excellent at keeping everyone on schedule with the photography timeline. They made sure key moments like the processional, ceremony, and family photos stayed on track. This really helped minimize any stress or delays. Throughout the planning process, Daniela was extremely responsive via email. She answered all my questions promptly and provided helpful suggestions. On the wedding day itself, Daniela blended into the background but still managed to get fantastic shots. She captured all those special candid moments without ever interrupting the flow of events. I would highly recommend Daniela to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. She and her team exceeded all expectations. We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out thanks to Daniela's photography skills and friendly manner.

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Tawny a few years ago when she was tagged on another Instagram page that I followed. I was immediately drawn to her style, and her inclusiveness as a photographer. I knew someday, when the time came for me to get married, that Tawny would be on the short list. After getting engaged and beginning our vendor search, Tawny's attention to detail, and personalization of her services stood out amongst all the other inquiries we sent out. Something as simple as the personalized video she sent us after our initial inquiry, detailing her packages and what she felt would be best based on what we were looking for. When we finally met for our engagement shoot this past February, we had an instant connection! Tawny was so inclusive, and captured our vision so perfectly that we could not wait until wedding day! This past weekend, we had the pleasure of spending the entire day with her, and as a bride, the biggest piece of advice I can give other brides is to choose vendors who you vibe with, and want to spend your whole day with! I would get married a million times over if Tawny was going to be on my team!

We are SO glad we chose Firehouse Chicago for our wedding in Sept 2024. It was truly the most beautiful, special day, and so much more than we ever imagined. The Firehouse was the perfect backdrop for our day. We chose to rent the upstairs room to get ready morning of, took all of our pictures onsite, had our ceremony in the garden, and dinner/reception in the engine room. The gorgeous greenery, subway tiles, natural light, and overall gorgeous aesthetic was perfect for us to relax and enjoy our day, and was truly picturesque from every angle for photos. Their attention to detail in curating this beautiful space is truly remarkable. Beyond its idyllic setting, one of the biggest perks of Firehouse Chicago, is the staff, and the wedding coordination that is included (you don't need to hire a separate day-of or month-of coordinator for this venue!). We got the pleasure of working closely with Teddy and Sarah and we really appreciated their calm reassuring demeanor throughout the wedding planning process, and their delicate touch knowing how important this day was for us and know overwhelming wedding planning can be. They truly helped take some of the stress and worry out of the planning process from start to finish. They ensured every little detail went off without a hitch from start to finish. They were so helpful in initial planning, month-of coordinating, day-of execution, and responding to all of my questions along the way. The rest of the Firehouse Staff was incredible day-of, and made sure everything ran smoothly. They kept us to our timeline, checked in with us frequently throughout the day, calmed my nerves as I waited to walk down the aisle, helped hype us up and build our confidence for our fire pole entrance, and even ensured we had some quiet time to ourselves after the ceremony to let things sink in and enjoy our moment. Their staff is truly the best- we were so fortunate we chose them for our big day.

I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and It has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day.

Kylie and Kiara were amazing to work with. Detail-oriented and easy going and never got bogged down and forgot that we were setting up a celebration. So much more than just a day-of coordinator! Highly recommended.

Kim was an absolute delight to work with. She was very attentive and came with so many ideas on how to make our wedding photos special for us. She came a few days before to check out the church where we would be having our photos done which shows me that she takes her job very serious. Kim is very easy to work with she made it very relaxed and easy to take photos with her. I am someone who doesn’t like attention on me and has social anxiety and she helped me to feel relaxed while taking the photos. She didn’t just take beautiful photos for us but she made the experience fun and memorable for us as well. I would definitely recommend Kim for photos. She also had our photos ready for us earlier than expected. Would definitely work with her again! Thank you Kim for capturing such beautiful photos and helping make our special day a day to remember.

As a DJ, I've had the opportunity to work with many venues in the Chicagoland area. The Bridge in Lemont is by far my favorite venue. The space is designed to give guests an outstanding experience in a beautiful building with several areas to keep the experience fresh, instead of being stuck in a stale hotel ballroom for six hours! The facility is purposely designed to make working in the space a breeze for vendors like myself. Finally, the staff—from the owners to the bartenders—are the best we work with. They care for both the clients (couples getting married) and the vendors, always keeping the best interests of the event's outcome in mind. I will always choose a Bridge Lemont wedding over another inquiry because it is guaranteed to be an amazing wedding.
