My coworker is an event planner and recommended Impulse DJs. From the start, Nick was friendly, thorough and helpful. Impulse DJs has great resources for reception planning. Steve was our DJ and did an absolutely terrific job. He read the room and kept the dancing going, aligning the music with the genres we had requested while also ensuring that everyone kept having fun on the dance floor. Several people came up to me to say how well the DJ was doing, and how great the music was. Steve was responsive and flexible throughout the night (we finished dinner early, so we moved the dances to start sooner than scheduled). Now that it's been a few weeks, we've continued to get compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was and how much fun they had. We even learned that more than one guest invited Steve to our after party! We are so happy with our decision to go with Steve and Impulse DJs. I cannot recommend them enough!

I used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

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!!

My husband & I can’t say enough good things about Mackenzie and Lex. We did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding photo/videos with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with and our pictures are AMAZING. I made a mistake in communicating what videos we wanted & didn’t realize it until a couple of months after our wedding. Mackenzie was so understanding & put together what she could so that we can still have some videos, we are so grateful for that! We plan to use them for any future photography needs because we loved them so much!

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up. Jeff was very easy to work with, incredibly personable, and willing to play whatever we wanted to hear. We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding. If you’re looking for a DJ who understands music and will make your event unforgettable, Jeff from BTSound is the one to go with.

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Not only does she listen to her couples, she also provides confidence and mastery which makes you feel like getting your photos taken should be part of your everyday life.

Alexa and her team were an immense help the day of my daughter's wedding. I wanted to enjoy the big day despite the wedding reception being hosted in my back yard and her team delivered great hospitality, organization, leadership, and creative thinking the day of to be sure my family could dance, drink and smile ALOT. For a backyard event, there is a lot of planning, preparation, and checklists that need to be accomplished in advance. Not being an event specialist myself Monarch's direction and tools were immensely helpful to be sure we were on track and considering all the aspects a wedding host must consider. Last minute weather issues were top of mind creating last minute changes so guests were not impacted negatively and my role was simply to be consulted...they handled the rest. Kind, respectful, organized, and positive would be a few words I would describe Alexa and her team. Make sure to reach out and consider Monarch for your next event -- inside or outside.

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anders hopped on board to shoot our elopement just a couple days before the event. In the short time leading up we had a quick intro call to say hello, chat expectations, and plan for the shoot. During the ceremony he managed to get shots of our rings and other key moments without distraction - was genuinely surprised looking at the gallery to see what he'd been able to capture without us even realizing on the day! Throughout the shoot he worked with us to capture he sweet moments and the silly ones -- the most fun I've had getting my picture taken. Friends and family who have seen the photos since have nothing but rave reviews, and so do we. An appreciated bonus - print ordering and gallery are well organized and easy to navigate. 12/10 would absolutely work with Anders again.

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.

We needed a space near our hotel to host both our rehearsal dinner and brunch and Copper Fox delivered on both! We had a smaller, more intimate setting for the rehearsal dinner. I enjoyed the separate side entrance and the appetizers were to die for! It was a wonderful intimate setting. The staff was very friendly and food delicious. Everyone should get the dessert table! We even had treats to take with. Brunch we had in the larger ballroom and it was absolutely beautiful. All of the breakfast options were so delicious and we had fun with the mimosa bar.

The Local Petaler 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Fox Valley, IL

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

Jen was referred to us from a friend who was also working with her and we were SO happy with our entire experience. After our initial meeting with Jen (before signing any contract), my husband and I both immediately agreed that we had found the perfect florist to work with for our wedding. Jen is extremely down to earth and genuinely had our best interest in mind during every stage of the process. As a lot of couples did, we ended up having to cancel our large wedding and opt for an immediate-family-only backyard wedding due to Covid-19. Jen could not have handled the situation in a more caring and thoughtful way. Making a change in plans meant that we also adjusted our budget, floral theme.. pretty much everything. Jen was extremely flexible and understanding with everything. After many back-and-forth in the decision making process, Jen finally told me to "trust her that she would make everything look beautiful." From that moment I didn't stress about a single thing and let Jen take control of the rest of the process (which was amazing). In terms of the finished product, I could not have dreamed up anything better. All of the florals were stunning and there was not a detail that was missed. We received SO many compliments on the flowers and, six months later, I still feel so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Jen. If you are looking for a genuinely caring person who will work within your budget without sacrificing quality, look no further!

We met Tyler, by chance, through my mom's coworker and were so grateful to have him be part of our wedding ceremony. Tyler performed a number of beautiful acoustic and instrumental songs before, during, and after our ceremony and we couldn't have been happier and more impressed with the level of depth and emotion he brought to one of the most magical days of our lives. Tyler assisted me and my husband with choosing a number of songs from Elton John to Jackie Wilson, met with us both virtually and in person prior to our wedding, and, due to his professionalism and attention to detail of perfecting each song, we have the fondest memories of the light and love that accompanied our ceremony with his soulful music that brought us and our guests happy tears as well as to our feet to sing along in the chapel.

Sherri did the flowers for our wedding & they turned out beautifully! Sherri was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She really took the time to understand our vision to know exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. 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. She went above & beyond, attending both the table scape meeting as well as the venue walkthrough. I would work with her again & again, I can’t recommend Belle Epoque Floristry enough!

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

As a fellow vendor, I have worked with Rachel and her team on several weddings and events. It is always a joy to work alongside her. I can put my full confidence in her to capture all of the details of that day, big and small, that the bride, groom and their families have spent months to plan and design. It is not common to see your photographer crouching down or scaling up to get that perfect perspective but Rachel does! She calmly and professionally helps to manage the bridal party and family during photo sessions. Rachel uses professional, engaging prompts to help get people in just the right mood and position to capture the moment. After each event I wait eagerly for her to deliver the galleries because looking through the hundreds of photos is like experiencing the joy of the day all over again! Rachel's style of curating and capturing the moment for her clients is exquisite and timeless. Just look through her galleries - You can feel the emotion of the moment and wish you could be right there, too! If you're looking for a photographer who has a modern yet timeless style and is professional, timely and fun to work with you've found the best fit for you.

They worked so well with each other and kept us laughing and relaxed throughout (which is no easy feat when you are doing a large multicultural wedding). They were on time, professional, and prepared. On top of that, they delivered exactly what they promised and SO MUCH MORE. We were floored by the video they made of our wedding; it was beautiful, captivating, and perfect. It exceeded all my expectations. They are amazing artists and you will not be let down!

Arrowhead has been fabulous start to finish. We were supposed to hold our original wedding on 7/4/20 on site with the reception to follow. When quarantine didn’t lift, Alexa did a great job with helping us come up with a “plan b” in advance so that we could let our vendors know. When we had to postpone our original plans, Alexa made it so stress free and was incredibly kind with picking it all up and moving to Summer 2021. We still wanted to legally marry and Alexa graciously helped us have a little micro ceremony with just immediate family. She was so thoughtful about helping us make it work and even came up with a backup plan in case the weather was bad. We could not be more appreciative of her work to make our marriage special this year and are looking forward to the best 1st anniversary party next year! Arrowhead’s staff pays such attention to detail and prides itself on customer service. You would not be disappointed in celebrating any occasion with them.

Our wedding venue is a family business! We also have Kentucky bred thoroughbreds that have been on our farm for years! Our biggest goal, is making your wedding day as special as can be! We offer multiple ceremony sites on our farm and have a big tent for receptions!

The professionalism was like non other! They made sure my wedding was absolutely perfect! I got married on the hottest day of the year with a heat index of 119 F and the tent kept all of my guests cool! Emma did an outstanding job and her communication was stellar! Pete offered rides for guests on his golf cart throughout the wedding to make sure people did not have to walk far! I knew from the moment I took a tour here that I just had to have my wedding here! They offer many decorations that you can add to with your own hint of color to make your night beautiful! I needed to change my date unexpectedly and they were able to accommodate without any issues! I heard they were planning on making more improvements on years to come with an addition of a new barn and that is just so exciting for all the future brides! How can you make improvements on something that was already so perfect! All brides should save their time and visit this venue first because I know you will just fall in love with it! I think I am one of the very few brides that can say nothing went wrong on my special day and it was all due to the help of Emma, Pete, and the Northfork staff! P.s. I was looking over from previous reviews and brides have full capability of choosing their own DJ and food vendor, but Northfork offers a nice list of PREFERRED vendors that work well to help with the search! I chose all my vendors (Uncle Bubs and DJUj) from their list and my night could not have been more perfect!
