Ace Wedding DJs 

4.9

  • DJ
  • Serves Palo, MI

Owner Avery Echols began his DJ career almost by accident. His entry into the business began with managing music for a friend’s reception. At this point, Ace Wedding DJs was born. As Avery’s business grew, he brought in his brother Wes and best friend Landon Bell. Together, this talented trio works hard to bring the dreams of soon-to-be newlyweds to life. In addition to fueling the dance-floor and and crafting ambiance through music, the DJs also serve as MCs with natural ease and charisma. They ensure that introductions, announcements, and transitions run smoothly.

My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

Arrae Photography

  • Serves Palo, MI

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani (Elle & Co Photography) has an art of being professional while also being laid back and understanding. We had a lot of things pop up on our wedding day and Dani knew how to take charge and keep things going but she has a safe energy and made everyone in our group feel super comfortable. She was a great addition to our day! Not to mentioned was very accommodating to what we’ve wanted and our photos are actually pieces of ART. I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us. We are so happy with our photos and will be bugging Dani for years to come to continue to capture us.

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Our urban industrial event space was built with an artisan touch and with the couple in mind. Our main entrance is located in the back of the building, making it a private space for you and your guests. We can’t wait to share Warehouse 6 with YOU!

Where do we even begin with our review of Warehouse 6! We booked Warehouse 6 to host our ceremony and wedding reception in one place, and Lynn and her team went above and beyond to deliver an incredible experience that matched our vision for the day. It was important for us to have a venue where we could add our own touch and Warehouse 6 was exactly that place. Lynn is highly professional, organized and easy to work with, which made it easy for us to share our ideas and figure out how to make them a reality. We wanted to have a colorful, garden party style wedding and we were able to transform Warehouse 6 exactly into that. Plus, the beautiful, handmade wood tables elevated the space and made it easy for us to simplify our decor. The end result was a wedding day that reflected exactly who my husband and I are as a couple, and made it possible to have a perfect, love-filled day! Plus, it's located in downtown Holland which made it a fun location for our guests and family to enjoy the town. We would book Warehouse 6 if we could plan a wedding all over again!

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities.

After working in the food industry for years, I got fed up with the low quality of food and service that was being offered in the west Michigan area. I wanted to be able to provide creative and unique foods that are locally sourced and created from fresh ingredients from local farms and business. The way that we are able to provide amazing food is we have invested in a mobile kitchen to ensure your food is made to perfection on site, rather than being transported from A to B in hotboxes where quality is lost like most restaurants & caters.

Absolutely love this crew and their amazing food! Highly recommend for any wedding or private event.

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

Rachelle was an amazing asset to helping me plan and execute my wedding. Leading up to the big day she communicated expectations with me as well as communicated with other vendors and made sure everyone knew what was happening. We used her day of timeline service as well and it was very helpful to see an exact schedule of when everything would happen. The day of was absolutely amazing! As some minor issues came up (to no fault of Rachelle) she handled them with ease and I did not even know anything was wrong since she took care of things so quickly. I would always recommend All Things Considered GR to anyone looking for a day of coordinator!

Our experienced event coordinators and chefs assist you with all of your needs along the way, including menu selections, tastings, venue tours, consultations, recommendations, and more! We know how important this special day is and we will gladly help you execute every detail.

Distinctive Catering and Bar Services was great! While we did pick an easy food selection (can't ever go wrong with a taco bar), the food was delicious. We had plenty of it, too, even extra which I was a little surprised by but not mad about it! The food staff were prompt, organized, and easy to work with. They stayed at their station and attended to everything. The DJ was also great - he interacted with guests and joined in on the grooving while doing his job. He was also prompt and organized. Both displays were great, too, especially since none of us had been to this venue prior to the event to know what we were working with.

Many beautiful and amazing moments happen throughout life while dining with people that we love in places that we cherish. With KNCO Private Dining & Event Catering, our guests are able to relax and relish in those moments to a tune of euphoria. After over 15 years in the hospitality industry, both in chef and service roles, I began mentally developing the idea of KNCO as a brand itself. The concept of this started as & remains under one umbrella; using our refined skills in personal service to create a deserved feeling of tranquility, as well as preparation & execution as a medium to stimulate and satisfy your senses of both scent & taste.

Great service all the way from planning through our wedding day. Very transparent when planning with pricing and expectations. Incredible quality and appearance of all the food from plating to table setup. Just overall incredible service and food. Would highly recommend!

Welcome to our charming barn venue, where life’s unforgettable celebrations are created! Nestled in the scenic beauty of Western Michigan, our venue offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and a magical ambiance!

First off, the grounds with charming waterfall & cross we requested for our ceremony were exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. The rustic chic barn with chandeliers was set up beautifully with their tables & chairs. It was so special to have the farmhouse for us and our wedding party to hang out before the ceremony, with both a bridal suite and makeup room for the girls on the second floor. On the first floor the guys hung out and had their own separate room to get ready. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guests all raved about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn't agree more. Thank you Melissa and the staff at Old Stonegate Farms for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Rich and Avalon The Band played at our daughter's wedding. They were awesome! Rich's communications skills were great, prompt and informative. He lead us through what to expect and gave us insight as this was our first wedding we hosted. They were able to handle sound for the wedding ceremony and it was set up without having to remind or ask, which was appreciated. Rich helped us find a string duo to play during the wedding ceremony too. Rich guided us through the beginning of the reception and helped facilitate the order of speeches and again provided sound for that. The band is great, fun and people danced all night. Rich is kind, honest and works very hard to make sure we had what we wanted. What more can you ask for!
