5 Stars isn't enough for One Salon and Bridal Co. Michelle (make-up) and Rochelle (hair) were my artists and they are incredible. They take the time to get to know you, are genuinely interested in your personal color scheme, and then work their magic. Both my hair and make-up withstood the day and night. Their prices are also very reasonable. If you're recently engaged and shopping around for hair/make-up for you and your party (or even for engagement photos), book these ladies immediately. You will be thrilled.

I truly had the absolute best experience working with Anomalie Beauty for my wedding this past weekend. Dani and Colette were so helpful throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer my (many!) questions. I knew after my bridal trial that I was in great hands with Kayla (hair) and Amanda (makeup). I also ended up scheduling Amanda to do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner, and I loved the look she gave me! On the wedding day, Kayla and Amanda were professional and also so fun to get ready with. The entire bridal party looked so stunning. I would 100% use their services again in the future!

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

Mackenzie and her husband took our wedding pictures and video back in 2019. They did an amazing job and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Would recommend her to anyone getting married in the area!

Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists

I cannot say enough fabulous things about Itasca country club & its staff. We were at our wits end searching for venues and then decided let’s check out the country club. We were amazed by how beautiful the space was both inside and outside. It was a no brainer from there. We worked with Genny as our coordinator and she helped keep things organized and on track but was equally a calming presence. She took over at the midway point as we had a different point of contact and she did so with grace. Our meeting with her 2 weeks out helped us feel like she had everything under control and alleviated our stress. The wedding day was beautiful, so many places to take photos outdoors! Guests were raving about the food & we can honestly say the crab cakes were the best we’ve ever had. Having heard horror stories about the bride and groom not even being able to eat on their wedding day, Genny and team served us our full meal instantly ensuring we were well fed and ready to hit the dance floor. Strongly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding / event - you won’t be disappointed!!!

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

Caleb Lee Productions is a family-owned wedding videography company operating out of Bartlett, IL. We are a husband-and-wife duo that is devoted to creating custom life event films. We look forward to capturing the uniqueness of your love story, with every detail and moment accounted for. Combining Caleb's passion for filmmaking with Brittany's strengths as a coordinator we aim to give you a seamless videography experience and an elegant final piece.

Rosanna & Co. is very fortunate to have connected with Caleb Lee Productions. Caleb and Brittany were a kind, patient, and attentive video team for a February 2023 couple at The Drake Chicago. Our couple was really excited to work with Caleb and Brittany after their initial phone consultation--they felt very confident and comfortable when it came time for them to capture video on their wedding day. While Caleb and Brittany were present and professional as they worked, they were also very under-the-radar—organically capturing and documenting the couple, their day, and their details without interfering. Caleb truly knows what it means to be a part of a vendor team—ready and willing to work with the venue and other vendors to make sure the day is a success for everyone involved. His use of a drone and go-pros was the perfect way to capture this couple’s gorgeous décor, rooftop photos, and lively dance floor. And the icing on the cake? The turnaround time is quick.

The venue set everything up for us and took a huge chunk of our to do list off of our plate! Jen and Martin were fantastic as well at our rehearsal dinner and wedding day making sure everything went off without a hitch.

She was creative in repurposing the ceremony flowers into a gorgeous piece for the sweetheart table in order to stay in budget, but still ensure I had everything I wanted.

Hi! I'm so glad that you're here. My name is Laura and I founded Marryment after being a part-time planner for 5 years. In March 2023, I left my corporate job and started Marryment full time - I had seen some ugly truths in wedding planning - so Marryment is on a mission to revolutionize the industry and keep the joy and celebration in wedding planning!

Marryment is truly unparalleled! If I had to recommend just one aspect of our wedding, it would be Laura and Amethyst's exceptional services. They're absolute angels! In the chaotic final months leading up to our big day, Marryment's expertise and guidance were invaluable. They exceeded our expectations in every way, anticipating and addressing every detail with professionalism and warmth. What sets them apart is their unique blend of expertise and personalized care. From the initial consultation to the wedding day, we felt like we were working with close friends who genuinely had our best interests at heart. Laura put our minds at ease at every step of the planning process from our initial introduction to the wedding day itself. Every single planning meeting ended with us feeling less stressed knowing Laura and Amethyst would take care of anything and everything we were worried about. Even as we had multiple unexpected curveballs thrown our way literally days before our wedding, Laura and Amethyst had contingencies for every single possible scenario which put our minds at ease when our stress levels were at their highest. They were our wedding MVPs. Laura and Amethyst, thank you for being our wedding guardians! We can't recommend Marryment enough. If you're considering their services, look no further – you're in the best hands.

I am Marissa, a photographer, mom, and wife. When I am not behind the camera you can find me venturing around Chicago or the country with my family. We love adventures and I love a delicious plate of nachos… snickers and a fizzy water I AM SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND HOW I DO IT… I have always had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember… I mean even one of my daughter is named after a camera and the other is named after light.. I bet you can’t guess what their names are. I absolutely love being there to capture all moments in life… especially weddings.

Marissa was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her confident yet respectful communication style put us at ease through the entire process. She was thoughtful and organized in preparing for our big day, while also remaining flexible to last minute changes. Marissa's work is thorough and captures the essence of special moments with care. She helped guide my husband and I, not the most photogenic couple, into poses that felt natural. Additionally, Marissa was essential to the flow of our wedding by adding positivity and organization to what could have been chaos. She did a fantastic job ensuring beautiful photos while keeping things moving smoothly. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough for her professionalism and quality of work.
