Alexa and her team are incredible! Through the entire process she was incredibly detail orientated, engaging, supportive, and personable! I like to think I was a relatively lowkey bride, but I still don't know what I would've done without her and her team the day of the wedding - having them there just made the day even more easy and seamless. I have a very supportive family where my mom and aunts would've been more than willing to step in and help out, but having Alexa and her team there allowed my family to enjoy the day without the hassle of setting up/keeping everyone organized. Seriously cannot say enough good things! Easily the easiest easiest and best decision to work with them! I would without a doubt recommend Monarch Creative Events to anyone!

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!

Dreamscapes Wedding Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first conversation, Amanda was kind, direct, and efficient - exactly the communication style we were looking for. The work was truly thoughtful, intentional, and beautiful. Amanda went above and beyond to make our vision a reality, ordering extra flowers to surprise us by decorating all the chairs along the aisle—something we hadn’t even paid for in our final order! Everything was more amazing than we could have wanted, and the quality for the price was unbeatable. Overall, Dreamscapes was amazing to work with - they listened to every detail we wanted and executed it flawlessly and with a fun, down-to-earth approach. We couldn't have asked for a better florist for our special day!

Sarah Nader Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Island Lake, IL

I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs but now call Lincoln Square home with my husband and our two Golden Retrievers, Missy and Felony. When the dogs aren't keeping me busy I love traveling all over the world, cooking amazing meals, jumping on my Peloton and eating Thai food while binging Netflix.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Sarah for our intimate wedding in April, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My husband is a photographer, so he was very picky about wanting a photographer who would capture the natural beauty of our unconventional wedding in our favorite restaurant. Looking through Sarah's work, we really loved how her work didn't look staged or overly edited. When we got back our photo proofs, we were even more blown away. During our pre-dinner photoshoot, we have so many stunning photos of us in our favorite Chicago neighborhood, both in places we wanted and in cute little alleys and doorways that she found day-of. And then during dinner, despite pretty cramped quarters, we have photos of all of our 40 guests enjoying the evening. We will treasure Sarah's work for years to come!

Our approach is as unique as your love story. With a blend of editorial flair, photojournalistic authenticity, and fine art finesse, we capture the essence of your wedding day vision. We don't just capture moments, we craft narratives.

Jennifer was an amazing photographer. She met all of my wants and was with me throughout the whole process of what I wanted. I can’t stress how much you would want her as your photographer. The one thing that caught my eye was her editing skills and the pictures she was able to capture. She will not only be a photographer for our wedding but any other special events that we will have in our new marriage. She is absolutely amazing and I was so happy to have her on our special day.

Wendy was fantastic with us from the start. I found her off of a website and asked for her to do our engagement photos. If we liked her, we would hire her for the wedding. Wellll we did. We had so much fun during our engagement shoot we couldn't wait to work with her again for the wedding. She was so flexible with all the COVID changes and when we eventually had to cancel our reception, she let us do a 1 year anniversary shoot which was SO MUCH FUN. Wendy is amazing. 5 stars all around

Hey there, Hana here! I’m a Milwaukee based wedding and elopement photographer and the face behind Hello Hana Photography. Since starting my photography career, my number one goal has always been to make sure couples are 100% comfortable in front of my lens. Forget the days of stiff posing & fake smiles - NONE OF THAT HERE. I’m all about capturing the raw and real moments. The moments that you’ll look back years from now and still be able to relive every single second. Your wedding day is about YOU and I am determined to help make that happen. I truly believe that your wedding day should be unique and special, just like your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so happy we chose Hana to capture our engagement and future wedding photos! She arrived at our engagement shoot location an hour before our time slot just to explore the area and find spots for our shoot. I was so impressed by this and it made us feel like she could take the lead and we could sit back and enjoy the shoot. She was so fun to work with and captured our personalities in a way that looks timeless in the photos - and we’re not that comfortable in front of a camera! She delivered sneak peeks so quickly and they are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We’re so excited to have her capture our big day.

We got our wedding pictures back so soon and they were phenomenal to look back through and remember our day exactly how we felt. She captured all the love & emotions and little details from us, our wedding party, family, and friends. I couldn't have asked for anyone better!
