Bweddings' passion is to create a unifying vision with our client, and leverage our strong vendor relationships in the Chicagoland wedding and event industry to allow for creative collaboration in the design, planning and coordination process saving our clients hours of wedding planning and vendor sourcing.

When my husband and I chose to have a destination wedding in Italy we knew that we had to find a wedding planner as soon as possible. After meeting Barbara over Zoom we instantly knew we wanted to work with Bweddings to make our dream wedding come to life. Throughout the entire planning process Bweddings provided us with amazing vendor options, a step by step checklist, endless advice/support and so much more. Our wedding planning process was so easy thanks to Barbara! Our wedding day was better than we ever could have imagined. It was perfect. Everything went smoothly, the timeline was followed and I was relaxed knowing everything was being taken care of. There's not one thing I would change about our wedding. The scenery, food, cocktails, music, flowers (everything) was fantastic. Bweddings helped us find the best vendors that worked with our budget. I can not recommend Bweddings enough and I am so grateful we found them. I appreciate everything Barbara and Anna did for our wedding - big & small it did not go unnoticed.

At Events By Jesse, your event should reflect you and your unique vision. That's why we offer expert event planning, coordinating, and creative services tailored to trendsetters and tastemakers. Whether you’ve already booked half your vendors or just starting to plan, our team is here to guide you through the process with exceptional service, seamless execution, and an emphasis on fun! Our team of creative souls, organized planners, open communicators, and fierce negotiators will work with you every step of the way to bring your biggest event dreams to life.

We stumbled upon Dave accidentally but what a clear meet/cute - stars aligning moment. We were lucky enough to have Dave work with us for a little over 2 years to make our dream wedding come true. He was great about staying in contact even when we were far out from making big decisions, as we creeped closer and closer to the big day we began meeting monthly or bi-weekly. I never had one moment throughout the entire planning process where I had concern for his bandwidth or frustrations that either I or my other vendors may have caused. What I think I loved most, was his understanding of my vision. He took the time to understand what my husband and I both wanted and envisioned. On the big day, Dave was like the wind - he was EVERYWHERE but NOWHERE. I didn't have one person (vendor related) speak to me and when issues did arise, they always will no matter how hard you plan, he was able to make executive decisions without a hesitation knowing I had full trust in him. I couldn't imagine having done the wedding without him and am forever grateful for these past 2 years. I can't wait to hire him back in 15-20 years for a renewal ;)

I cannot share enough what a wonderful experience we had with Monica and hiring state of glamor for our wedding in March. Monica was super professional, easy and fun to work with, and did a fantastic job communicating throughout the process. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and nailed it! I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup so I was very nervous going in, and Monica did such a great job of explaining everything and really giving me a natural glamorous look. She did a wonderful job during the trial and really took the time to make sure I was absolutely in love with my look! I was so happy with how my makeup and hair turned out the day of the wedding and when we received photos back it was truly amazing to see how well the hair and make up photographed! All of my bridesmaids who received makeup and hair services were also very impressed! Monica and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend them for anyone's wedding day!

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

Vrinspirations

  • Florist
  • Starts at $55 per arrangement
  • Serves Island Lake, IL

We are a family business, everything started 2019. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality Management and I enjoy the process of planning events, decorations, scheduling, and timelines. I worked in the hotel business for almost 10 years until I realized that I wanted to start working in what I love and I'm passionate about. That's how I decided to open my own company!

If I could give Lori from VRInspirations more than 5 stars for this review, I would! I came to Lori in April 2021 with a set date of 8/15/21, a venue, and a list of potential vendors. I knew that this would be a tough wedding to plan given the crazily short timeline (in the wedding planning world) in addition to the fact that I am a very picky person who has been planning my wedding in my head for years. Furthermore, I was planning this wedding in my hometown of Chicago while living in Seattle. I will be forever grateful that Lori took my wedding on without hesitation. If you are looking for a planner who will always make you feel like you are her only client, then Lori is the one for you. She never made me feel like I was bothering her and she answered any emails/frantic phone calls promptly and with a smile. She has so many contacts in the the Chicago wedding vendor community, and anytime Lori said, "No worries, I will take care of it", I knew that she would. She is so kind, friendly, and easy going, and even when I was going crazy toward the end of the process, she always remained calm and cool under pressure. She is such a thoughtful planner, and it was such a sweet surprise for me when she joined me at my dress fittings. She is incredibly organized and you can tell that her years of experience have taught her how to plan events seamlessly and efficiently. Lori truly cares about her brides and only wants the best for you, and you can feel it! Her husband/business partner John is also awesome, and they are an amazing team to have by your side. I sent her so many inspiration photos and ideas and she truly brought my dream wedding to life. I recommend Lori and the VRInspirations team without any reservations for your wedding or any special event; she will put all of her heart and soul into making it the best day of your life. I am so lucky to have found Lori and feel like I have made a friend for life.

I am a Chicago, Illinois mobile makeup artist specializing in soft glam, high glam, prom, photoshoots and bridal wedding makeup since 2014. I am very passionate about makeup artistry and uplifting people through the power of makeup. I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.

Exquisitely Designed Events by Veronica is a planning company servicing the Greater Chicagoland Area offering personalized wedding design and planning services. ​ At Exquisitely Designed, we collaborate with our couples to internalize their dreams, conceptualize a vision, and deliver a wedding as unique as their love story. ​ Our goal is to create an event to surpass your expectations!

Veronica is truly the best wedding coordinator out there. She and her team went above and beyond and my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! Veronica was involved with the wedding planning months beforehand (unlike most wedding coordinators I spoke to!) and she was so detailed and organized that she truly put my type-A personality at ease!!! I knew I was in the best of hands after our first conversation and on the wedding day I was completely relaxed because I knew I could trust her to handle any hiccups. She also did my floral arrangements and was present at all the meetings with the venue and caterer to make sure that everyone was aligned on my vision. When she showed me the reception hall before my guests arrived it took my breath away-- it was even better than I envisioned!!! Her eye for detail is incredible and my reception decorations were breathtaking. I also have to acknowledge Veronica's assistant Sharae because she too was the best ever-- I definitely walked away from my wedding weekend with a new best friend. Sharae kept me calm and laughing on my wedding day and made the entire pre-ceremony experience SO MUCH FUN!!! Honestly, my wedding day would have felt much different if Sharae wasn't there. I actually got emotional saying goodbye because she was such an important part of my day too. I never thought I would grow so close to a wedding vendor, but I now consider Veronica, Sharae, and the entire Exquisitely Designed Events team like family. They truly made my wedding the best day ever!!!
