La Porte, IN
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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!!!

Cat MacDonald Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves La Porte, 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 amazing. We hired her to shoot our wedding, with a package that included an engagement shoot. Right off the bat Cat was friendly, and with the questionnaire she sent out ahead of time gave her a good sense of who we are individually and as a couple. Cat’s communication throughout the engagement and wedding shoots was fabulous, and seeing her excited for the pictures made us excited. To share such intimate moments with not only your partner but a photographer you’ve only meet a time or two prior, it felt like we had known Cat for YEARS. She made us feel right at home and answered any and all questions we had leading up in a swift manner. The digital photos were sent to us in such quick timing - we hear of other couples having to wait 6 months for their wedding photos. With Cat, she makes sure you get a sneak preview and then does her best to get the pictures reviewed/edited/magic completed in a timely fashion. Neither my husband nor I have a single negative - the entire experience was beyond our wildest dreams (and we had not had professional photos taken before). I’d hired Cat again in a heartbeat. From the quick responses to random questions to the final products - we are beyond thrilled Cat was able to capture our essence and relationship to a T.

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.

Crystal was a dream to work with. The cake not only looked more beautiful than the photos but it tasted AMAZING too. Everyone loved it. She let me do three flavors and fillings and delivered it to my location. The quality and price are unbeatable, plus she seems like a genuinely sweet person. 10/10 would recommend. I would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Sarah Sage Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves La Porte, IN

Sarah Sage Photography is the premier wedding photography studio in South Bend, Indiana. We photograph elegant and modern weddings like the true love story that they are. These timeless stories are then remembered forever using only the highest quality wedding albums from Italy. Sarah Sage Photography celebrates all couples, no matter their location, religion, sexuality or ethnicity.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with Sarah and the way she told our wedding day story through her photography. When we received our photos just two weeks after the big day, we quickly texted her, “WE ARE STARSTRUCK!” Sarah’s background is originally in black-and-white photography. This means that she knows how to work with lighting and how to pick the perfect moment to take a shot so that it says a million things all at once. Her attention to detail is phenomenal; as result, the quality of our photos is unparalleled. If you are planning a wedding in South Bend, especially one on Notre Dame’s campus, Sarah is the one you need. She knows the Basilica and campus like the back of her hand. In turn, she knew exactly what shots to get and where. We both have large families, and she came up with excellent plans to corral everyone as necessary while staying on schedule. In fact, she went out of her way to create an entire wedding day timeline for us and sent it in a smartphone wallpaper format that we could easily send to the wedding party. In addition, she made time to attend our rehearsal so that she could prepare for each aspect of our ceremony and anticipate times to take the best pictures. Sarah was in steady communication with us throughout our wedding planning process. No question was left unanswered, no detail too small. She was willing to wake up in the wee hours of the day to take “getting ready” photos before our morning wedding and even offered to transport bridesmaids to the ceremony in her SUV if it turned out we didn’t have enough drivers. A few months after the wedding, we received a gorgeous photo album from Sarah. She carefully customized the album for us based on pictures of our choosing and spent as long as we needed discussing options that fit our budget. She kept in touch with us as we waited for it to arrive in the mail so there were no concerns about it getting lost anywhere in transit. It’s one thing to be a phenomenal photographer, but another thing altogether to be a genuinely kind, generous soul. Sarah Sage is both. As my husband says, “She really captures memories. These aren’t just photos."

The Armory

South Bend, IN
  • Venue
  • 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!

  • Serves La Porte, IN

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Arianna made our New Orleans destination wedding INCREDIBLE! I can't even begin to describe how amazing all of our photos turned out! She is the best at what she does, and I would rehire her in an instant. She helped me make my day of plan, so we were able to capture every moment and it made our wedding day a breeze. I can't begin to thank her enough for everything!

The timeless mix of brick, concrete and metal emphasizing The Brick’s bold façade is complimented by an equally impressive interior. Lofty ceilings with exposed steel joists are softened by whitewashed walls and elegantly suspended Edison lights. Tall windows and functional overhead doors provide an air of stately grandeur. The perfect space for celebrating a showstopping event.

Awarded Best of Zola
South Bend does not offer a lot of premier, elite, and professional venue spaces, so The Brick is truly in a class all its own. It was very easy to coordinate a visit with the venue coordinator, DeAsarae, who streamlined the process and it made it very easy upon booking. She connected me to the catering company which was also very professional and worked to ensure my vendors had access to the venue space on the day of the event to pull off a great celebration of my husband's milestone birthday! I highly recommend The Brick to anyone interested in a quality event in a beautiful space!

Anna Hagen, Harpist 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves La Porte, 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.

I worked with Anna at a recent wedding and was quite impressed with how beautifully she played! I was the DJ for the wedding, and Anna and I had to coordinate music-playing times throughout the evening. Anna was flexible and easy-going and always very professional. Her music added a certain classiness and elegance to both the wedding ceremony and the cocktail and dinner hours. Her repertoire of music was expansive, and the guests really enjoyed her music

We cannot say enough positive things about Navarre Catering and Events. If you need a catering vendor for your wedding weekend, then Navarre is a great caterer to choose. We worked with Christine, our senior event specialist, and she did a fantastic job helping us navigate all the details of banquet event planning. We contracted Navarre for a Welcome Reception the night before the wedding and for the Wedding Reception itself, and both events were perfect! Our events happened in August 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and they still went off smoothly. Christine helped us develop a strong plan for guest and staff safety and handled all the venue coordination as well. The food and service staff were excellent at both events! Christine made the awesome suggestion to have a family style platter service for the reception meal to help maintain social distancing, and it, along with the food quality, wound up being one of the most talked about aspects of the reception that our guests LOVED! Our experience working with Christine was comfortable and we really felt like she had our best interests at heart adapting as the planning details changed due to fluid pandemic conditions. We highly recommend Navarre and Christine for your wedding event.

With a passion for photography and a love for meeting new people, I'm dedicated to making sure you have beautiful, lasting memories of your most important life events.

My fiance and I had the privilege of working with Laci back in November for our engagement photo shoot. Laci did an outstanding job with the pictures and we were both very pleased with her product! Laci is very professional, and offers a high quality product with very competitive pricing in the photography market! Not only did Laci provide a higher quality product, but she also gave us a higher quantity of pictures than any photographer I have ever seen. Laci is also great to work with, she is very sweet and makes the shoot fun! She had access to beautiful locations that she had clearly taken the time to map out and study beforehand! The best thing I can say about Laci is that she really cares about her client and her product! You don’t see that very often these days, but Laci will inconvenience herself for the benefit of her client, which is just awesome! Needless to say, we immediately rescheduled her to shoot our wedding as well, and are very excited to see her work! Schedule a shoot with Laci, it will be well worth your time and money!

Friendship Botanic Gardens is a unique, beautiful setting for the outdoor wedding and other special events. Weddings are scheduled from mid-May through mid-October. 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!
