I love making movies! Every day that I'm behind a camera is a good day. Filming people's weddings is something I've really come to cherish. What could be more joyous than filming the happiest day of people's lives < 3

A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves Papillion, NE

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASE helped ease our minds throughout the entire planning process! The entire team, start to finish, made our big day a breeze! We loved that they sent out an email the week of to all of the vendors ensuring that they were all on the same page! ASE even pulled off a suprise photobooth rental, gifted to us by my (the brides) parents! DJ RJ was the best! We threw a lot of "untraditional" reception ideas at him and he went with it, supported it and best of all, had fun with it! We had a great time and RJ really listened to our requests! We gave him a broad genre of music and he got it right! The entire team was truly the best! Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a quality company who care for every single wedding they work!

  • Starts at $15
  • Serves Papillion, NE

Mercury transforms your wedding into an experience of culinary delight and impeccable service. Since 2016, we've crafted exquisite food & handcrafted cocktails, using only the freshest ingredients. Our award-winning mixologists create bespoke beverages, while our culinary team prepares delectable bites, perfect for sharing. Experience the Mercury difference: unmatched service, flavorful cuisine, & creative cocktails. Contact us and let's create your dream wedding.

We hired Mercury to cater our wedding because we were already in love with their food and service from the countless visits to their shop. We didn’t know it was possible to like them more, but they totally blew us away for our wedding! Their chef helped us develop a menu that was interesting and unique to us, that still had the same quality and thoughtfulness that their everyday menu has. For drinks, they sat us down and through a series of questions they developed two signature cocktails that were unique to my wife and I, and they were a huge hit. There’s also nothing quite like ordering a drink named after yourself that is also perfectly tailored to what you like to drink. For the day of the wedding, they handled all the set up for food, drink, cutlery, plates and all that stuff, and handled clean up so we were free to enjoy the night. Truthfully, we met with almost every caterer in town and were completely unimpressed by their basic chicken, potatoes, and salad menus with huge pice tags. Mercury gave us a one-of-a-kind experience for our most special day, and they did it for a fair price. Thank you again, Mercury!!

I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My name is Jillian and I'm a photographer and artist in Kansas City My goal is to capture you. Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!
