Sis And Me Bakery

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $36
  • Serves Francesville, IN

My sister and I started this bakery together to share our love and talents with others. We first learned from our Grandma that taught us both growing up in 4H fair and we went to state many times. People liked our work and loved our cake even more so we started this bakery then in 2017. We would love to help you create a special design just for you for your special day!

Cannot recommend Sis and Me Bakery enough. Hands down best cake we’ve ever had. They went above and beyond to ensure our wants and needs were met. Responsible priced and the cake/cupcakes were out of this world delicious. If you want a hassle-free bakery that will make a top notch cake for your wedding than book them! We loved our Harry Potter themed cake

  • Serves Francesville, IN

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, amateur baker, coffee addict, and I’m here to tell your story. I am based in LaPorte Indiana. I found photography through a family member who told me I had an eye for beauty. I love it for its capacity to freeze moments in time, to document love in all of its wild and wonderful forms.

Cat is the best photographer! I’ve used her for all my daughter’s photos since she was a baby, my engagement photo’s and wedding photographer. She’s super fun and makes her photo shoots a pleasant experience. Her work is displayed all over my house and I get so many compliments on the amazing photos she takes.

The Music Place, Inc.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Francesville, IN

Imagine your perfect wedding day: smiling faces at every turn, the smell of fresh flowers, the wedding cake so glorious you can practically taste the buttercream, and your wedding VIPs rocking out on a packed dance floor that bursts with light and color all set to a soundtrack of your favorite songs. Most.Fun.Wedding.Ever. That’s kinda our specialty. Btw, we're REAL DJs, not some old guy sitting behind a computer screen; and creating energy and life-lasting memories for awesome people is our passion.

I do not have enough words to profess how incredible Blake was as our DJ. During the planning process he was extremely relatable, fun , and respectful of our wishes. He made great recommendations and eased any concerns we had about our big day. He also took the time to respond to us while he was on vacation and sent us an advanced shortened version of our first dance song so that we could practice our first dance. On the day of, Blake blew EVERYONE away. My husband was very concerned about the size of my dress while dancing so Blake ran us through the song early so we could practice before the reception began. His instincts as a DJ were SPOT-ON! Every song he played in the order he played them contributed to the absolute best party. Our tastes are a little all over the place (country, classic rock, oldies) and Blake was able to mix them all in and give us a night to truly remember. He was fantastic on the aux during introductions and kept our rowdy crowd going for hours and hours. What might've been most impressive is that he managed to get all 200 guests out of the ballroom in less than two minutes so that we could have our "last dance". We have received nothing but rave reviews from our guests and my husband and I still talk weeks later about how incredible Blake was. An amazing surprise is that he's very active on social media and took a ton of pictures and videos of the dance floor throughout the night that we'll now get to keep forever! Do not hesitate for a SECOND to hire Blake - it'll be one of the best choices you make for your wedding day. We truly could not have imagined the night without him!!!

I have been doing wedding and portrait photography since 2016 and I love weddings! This past year my husband, Andrew, joined my team and has begun offering videography services for my couples. We will work closely together to ensure that every intimate detail is captured in a way that reflects your unique love story. With my passion for photography, attention to detail, and authentic editing style, you can trust that your love story is in good hands.

Brittany along with Rusty her second shooter captured our Beauty and the Beast themed wedding on 1/27/24. Our pictures are so perfect and everything we hoped for and more. We got our sneak peaks the next day and can't wait to get the full gallery. Brittany did a phone call about a 2-3 weeks before our wedding to go over the timeline. On the day of she helped us stay on time and when we ran behind(no fault of hers, I didn't read the part that says the car needs to be loaded at this time) she got us caught back up. Her prices are some of the best. You get 10/10 quality and care without having to take a second mortgage out on your house. Brittany and Rusty got fabulous pictures and we'd definitely book again!

Where do I begin?! Sarah is just truly amazing as a person and photographer, there aren't enough words to say how grateful we are for Sarah and Micky. For our engagement shoot, we hit multiple spots that were special to us and then to St, Joseph, Michigan for a romantic beach sunset. It was relaxing, beautiful, and most of all FUN! The pictures are like no other and she really captured my husband and I in a way I didn’t know was possible. Sarah and Micky traveled all the way from Indiana where we are from, to Snowshoe, WV for our very intimate wedding. The day was SEAMLESS! With Sarah’s helpful planning, she helped build the timeline from start to finish. Her hard work and fun personality make you forget about any stresses you have about the special day or insecurities you have about yourself. You feel confident in your body and really live in that moment with your partner. I can’t say enough about how awesome Sarah is, and how flexible she can be.

Williams Orchard is the ideal destination for a truly unique celebration with family, friends or colleagues. Whether you’re looking to host an elegant wedding, corporate event, or family retreat, our 135 acre grounds will grant you a private estate experience unlike any other.

I highly recommend William's Orchard as your venue if you're considering it. Throughout the wedding planning process the team was communicative and helpful.

The team had great ideas too when it came to catering and small details that ultimately improved our guest experience. The venue itself is gorgeous and our guests had a blast. We're still getting compliments on the day. A nice touch was being able to have dinner in the orchard, a last minute decision we made that was recommended by the team and ultimately helped the day flow better.

The Armory

South Bend, IN

  • Up to 500 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,500

From its historical beginnings as a stoic munitions depot, The Armory experienced a beautiful transformation to showcase a sophisticated ballroom, classy built-in bar and impressive commercial kitchen. Original element of the 1928 Armory construction and subsequent Newman Recreations Center were incorporated into the even space renovation to provide the perfect blend of past and present.Iron-barred doors used to secure armers and thick concrete walls reinforced with brick to accommodate the National Guard Armory and shooting range lend a rustic industrial aesthetic. Wood from the recreation center bleachers line the dramatic bar and the orginial hardwood floor was dressed up to grace the ballroom. The vaulted timber ceilings and exposed truss work allow the dazzling period chandeliers an opportunity to lend an air of elegance to the urban decor. Charm abounds in the union of classic architecture with a modern flair.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Armory was absolutely the perfect venue for our August wedding. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was! Megan served as our coordinator and she was amazingly organized, detail-oriented, and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. She was also very flexible, willing to accommodate to our preferences, and work within our budget. Table decor, food, drink packages are all included which made coordinating the reception very easy. The food is through Navarre Catering is delicious - lots of great options to choose from!

Hey there! I'm Arianna. I started Rare Raven Studio (previously McCormick Design and Photography) back around 2013. I had grown up around cameras and always loved whatever I could get my hands on. Film, digital, video, you name it. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I really started taking anything seriously though. All of the sudden, I had a reason to stay consistent in my documentation. The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

I found Arianna via Zola. I took a shot messaging an unknown person, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my big day. Her work is beautiful and unforgettable. She’s great to work with, cares about the couple and their needs, and is creative with the venues and couples. We opted for the option for our engagement photos and the Photo Booth. Our guests loved it. Who needs favors, do the Photo Booth instead! Highly recommend her!

  • Serves Francesville, IN

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and the harps at my website.

Here at the Morris Estate, we have had the pleasure of working with Anna numerous times over the years and have always found it to be an enjoyable experience for our staff as well as all of our bridal clients.

At C’est La Vie Cakes, we specialize in truly unique wedding cake creations in the South Bend / Notre Dame/ Southwest Michigan area. ​​​​All of our cakes and cupcakes are handmade with the finest ingredients.

We loved the wedding cake she made for us, we chose pumpkin and snickerdoodle flavorings, showed her an inspiration pic and talked about our amount of people. She delivered! The amount of cake we had was more than enough for how many attendees we had, we should have had some left over. To our surprise, there was not a single slice left! I mean we knew it was good. So we ended up asking for cupcakes to enjoy and she made those for us as well. When in doubt she’s your baker!

Hi there…. My name is Tim and I am the owner of this fun wedding film company. Just to let you know, I LOVE WEDDINGS! To be most accurate, I love the stories of the couples we get to film, and yes the cake too! From getting ready early in the morning chilling with your bridesmaids, hearing all the fun stories of how you meet each other to all the moves being busted on the dance floor, I love capturing it all. Even grabbing a few drinks with your bridal party after rehearsal to get to know everyone better. My approach is to know you and your day to tell it the best through a rocking wedding video.

Working with Tim and Mohr Entertainment was a highlight of our August 2020 wedding. Tim was easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding. He was responsive and my husband and I enjoyed getting to know him and his style. On the day of the wedding, Tim blended in to the background. His second shooter spent the morning with the groomsmen and they commented on how much they enjoyed him being there and the shots he got of them. Tim spent the morning with the ladies in the bridal suite and was never invasive, but still managed to get every moment. He was with us from the very moment we arrived at the bridal suite until the last guest left. Tim produced an incredible preview video within a few days of the wedding and it was a perfect preview of our day while we were still riding the high! Our full length video was delivered in a timely manner and was INCREDIBLE! Tim morphed the video to fit our vibe of the day. We didn't have a slow paced, light wedding, we had a fun, high energy day and Tim somehow managed to capture that! I was in absolute awe of his work and felt totally transported back to my wedding day. I am so thankful to have a video that captures the emotion I was feeling that day. The comment I got most about the video from friends and family was that they were crying one moment and laughing the next. But that describes our day. I could not have imagined a more perfect video to capture our dream day. 100/10, would recommend Tim any day of the week!!!

Fountains splash, birds sing, and trees tower above. The Gardens include over one hundred acres of woods and landscaped areas, providing one of the most beautiful outdoor venues in Northwest Indiana. The Gardens can accommodate a small and intimate wedding ceremony of a few family and friends, or a larger wedding ceremony up to 300 guests. Friendship Botanic Gardens welcomes and honors all marriages of all types. We do not discriminate against anyone. All weddings include chairs, use of the area for three hours and rehearsal privileges. Arrangements can be made for use of the Bridal Cabin and golf cart shuttle with driver to transport guests to the venue. Ceremonies and receptions will be customized by our wedding coordinator. Weddings over 400 guests can be custom designed to suit your needs.

I picked this location because of how beautiful the landscape is. So many different spots on the property to get married on, all beautiful. Different locations cost different price. Overall, relatively cheap compared to other venues. When talking to them, I first started with one wedding coordinator. She left and was informed about the new coordinator. She introduced herself and thought she was awesome. She was very tentative to all the details and was very helpful. I wasn’t informed that she had left and a new coordinator had taken her spot. I didn’t know there was a new coordinator until the day before the wedding. She didn’t take charge of anything. She took a back seat to everything. Told her I had a specific song I wanted to play for walking down the aisle. There wasn’t any sort practice with the song at the rehearsal. She couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to the sound system. She couldn’t figure out how to navigate the song that I had already pulled up on my phone.

I'm Katie Whitcomb. I am a classic wedding photographer based out of the Notre Dame, IN area. I stop in my tracks for a bright orange sunset, I'm obsessed with all tropical plants (seriously, my foyer is a jungle) and the feeling I get every time I walk into the Basilica of the Sacred Heart will never get old. Thank you for coming by. Let me know if I can do anything to help along the way.

Katie is the most amazing wedding photographer. She blows everyone else out of the water; it's not even close. She photographed my brother's Cape Cod wedding last summer and was so amazing that my family had to hire her for my Philly wedding this summer. She is professional, organized, and involved. She provides a wonderful timeline that sketches out your day in terms of photos. She keeps in touch often throughout the engagement process and helps you develop a vision of your wedding. She is kind and fun!!! She is a wonderful "cheerleader" to have with you on your big day in addition to being the best vendor ever. Then there's her photos. They are seriously gorgeous. They are timeless, classic, and romantic. She has developed a craft that is unmatched. All of my guests have been floored with the photos. Katie just the best!

Welcome to The Beiger Mansion, Mishawaka's premiere event facility and bed and breakfast.

Though Martin never had the privilege of living in the home, Susie did and enjoyed nearly 20 years of lavish living and entertaining. Today we carry on this tradition of entertaining as the opulence of the home provides the perfect setting for any event. From a business lunch to an elegant wedding and reception, the uniqueness of The Beiger Mansion provides an experience that can only be had here.
