Hiring Jacob is a NO BRAINER! I cannot say enough great things about or experience! From the moment we hired him, and the whole process of receiving our video and raw footage afterwards... was smooth, easy, and we are eternally grateful! To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations! Check out his Vimeo videos- they are unreal and will give you all the feels! Do not hesitate in hiring him. The video he creates will bring back all the best moments of your wedding day!

For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday.

Alyson served as our day-of coordinator in August of 2024, but she got to work well ahead of our big day.

She was on site with us for venue walkthroughs and established communication with our vendors ahead of time. She also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were on track. She was a bona fide problem solver, including helping our DJ sort out access issues with our venue, ensuring our guests didn’t walk through our aisle before the ceremony, and running across the street at the eleventh hour to buy eyelash glue. She even helped us bustle the wedding dress between the ceremony and reception when we couldn’t figure it out.

Awarded Best of Zola
Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.

I got married 1/25/20 (literally right before pandemic hit). Never did I image the process of planning would be so smooth and of course I prepared for at least 1 hiccup during the day. When I tell you EVERYTHING was perfect; it really was. Belvedere's team is the reason for this! From months leading up to my day, weeks, days, and hours; Jodi, Doro, and the rest of the team were great at getting back to all my questions and made me feel comfortable with all things wedding related. The tasting (3 months prior) was amazing and chef Alfredo made his presence, explained all choices, and this was the moment that getting married hit us! Let's not forget that doro was amazing at the tasting too! Although side note; I've worked with the belvedere team for 10+ years for corporate events so there were lots of jokes on why i even needed a tasting. :) fast forward to rehersal the day before, doro once again was a gem to have around. He calmed my nerves with a glass of chardonnay. :) day of the wedding jodi stuck around in my bridal suite and made sure my dress was perfect for my entrance, came down and watched a bit of the ceramony, hugged me afterwards, and made sure all was great before she made her exit. The bartenders were on point, food service was quick, hot and delicious, decorations were in ALL the right spots per my horrible instructions (they are great at figuring things out!) And I had nothing to worry about other than making sure I soaked up EVERY second with my new groom. Although I've known belvedere a long time and have had numerous events here (sometimes 6 or more a month) my wedding felt amazing and it was nothing like my corporate events. I also will let future brides know that you will be treated just as amazing! If you want a jaw dropping venue with bonus amazing staff that will treat you as if you're their most important customer (and even a friend) then you are in the right place. You will get all of these same treatments... it doesnt matter if you've known them for 10 years or it's your first meeting. They care about every person coming in their venue and want you to walk away knowing they have their $%*T together and you only have to focus on you!

We used Miss Liz for our September 2023 wedding. We loved working with Miss Liz and would highly recommend that you do too! Overall, Miss Liz was our favorite vendor to work with, and she made something complicated very easy. Communication/Organization: The best thing about working with Miss Liz was her organization and communication. Through her online messaging platform, Miss Liz always responded quickly, communicated clearly, and was very professional, which reduced so much stress for us. She also made time to speak with us on the phone 3 or 4 times, answering our many questions and calming our nerves. Affordability/Adaptability: Miss Liz’s offerings are very affordable and can adapt to each couple’s needs. For 2 bartenders for 8 hours, supplies, and garnishes, we were at about XXX. You have the option to buy alcohol, soda, and ice yourself or buy it through Miss Liz. There were no surprises on costs or services, and it was easy to make additions or subtractions to the order in the weeks and days before the wedding.

We never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which our clients entrust us to. It is our job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful, romantic and documentary manner. We are passionate about storytelling through images that elicit an emotional response, using both film and digital mediums. Our style is unobtrusive which allows us to capture fleeting moments of joy, love, and tenderness with intentionality.

“WOW. Just WOW!! I honestly can't say enough good things about Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage. Booking Bonphotage was easily the best decision we made for our wedding and I truly could not imagine my wedding without them. From the first phone call with Lynzie, I felt completely at ease - her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm left us feeling that choosing Bonphotage for our wedding photography and videography team was a no-brainer. Leading up to the wedding, Lynzie and her team were responsive and detailed. They were instrumental in making sure our timeline was carefully tailored to ensure we received every image we desired while never feeling rushed or unnatural - and that is how we could best describe our whole experience with Bonphotage - ABOVE AND BEYOND! During the wedding day, the Bonphotage team struck the perfect balance between making sure we looked flawless by offering advice on poses, while still making us feel completely candid and natural! Our family and guests commented many times that they barely even noticed that our pictures and videos were being taken all night long! Lynzie, in particular, was meticulous, with razor-sharp senses anticipating every moment and emotion so carefully. The photography and videography team worked together seamlessly in a cohesive and planned manner. Truly a DREAM TEAM! But the BEST PART?! - the pictures were absolutely BREATHTAKING!! STUNNING!! and FAST! We got our entire wedding gallery in two weeks! We knew Lynzie and her team were incredible from looking at their portfolio online and following (ok - stalking!) their instagram for years - but the photos surpassed our already very high expectations in literally every way!! We couldn’t be happier. We will cherish these images for the rest of our life!! Do yourself a favor and hire Bonphotage!!”

Hello HELLO! I am SO glad that you have found your way here. There is nothing I love more than a perfect wedding day. I consider myself a Chicago Wedding Photographer but I am always willing to travel for your next party! To introduce myself, my name is Karly Payne. My maiden name is Ellis hence the Karly Ellis Photography. I got married in July of 2021 so I know how exciting this time is!! I hope you are totally enjoying your time being engaged. Choosing a photographer is one of the hardest parts. You want to make sure you find a photographer where you not only love their work, but your personalities CLICK.

5 stars REALLY just doesn't cover it. Karly was so amazing right from the start. Her communication was clear and timely, her energy and attitude is unmatched. She really felt like a hype girl during both our engagement shoot & on our wedding day. She made everything so insanely seamless and stress free throughout the entire planning process. The timeline she helped us put together was a huge help and not necessarily something I think all photographers do in that much detail. She worked so well with our day of coordinator as well to make sure we were on schedule and everyone was where they were supposed to be. Now onto the actual photos...we had a dimly lit venue so I was worried that the pictures would be dark. Karly and her team absolutely KILLED IT. All the photos are STUNNING. She really takes the time to understand your style as a couple and what you may or may not be comfortable with when it comes to poses/etc. None of it ever felt like awkward, it really felt like you had one of your friends as a photographer. The sneek peaks she gets you are amazing and so fast it was so fun to get to see some photos THE NEXT DAY! We really got so many compliments from our bridal party, venue staff and some of our guests about how great our photographer was and how beautiful the pictures turned out. If you are on the fence about booking Karly, don't be. Book her!!! I really cannot recommend her enough.
