Warm Advice 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Riverside, IL

New Orleans-based queer DJ specializing in LGBTQIA+ weddings. Locally serving New Orleans and Baton Rouge, also available for destination weddings! I'm here to make sure your wedding becomes the most unforgettable dance party your guests have ever been to 😎

I say this with the truest sincerity - our wedding reception would not have been the same without Warm Advice/Kendall. From the initial conversation to me changing up the timeline mid-party, Kendall was an absolute rockstar. It was super important to us to have queer/supportive vendors and we really hit the jackpot finding Warm Advice. I couldn’t imagine having another DJ vibing with us all night long. Ultimately, we had a few “hard nos” but otherwise mostly let Kendall do their thing and they absolutely killed it. The price point is unparalleled for the quality, professionalism, and creativity. I am quite certain this won’t be the last time we work with Kendall.

Jason Verdin Photography

  • Photographer

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

As a Media Company, 505 Media Co always tries to capture genuine emotions. When we capture a wedding. We have the unique opportunity to freeze that moment in time. This is a priceless treasure a couple can cherish for the rest of their lives.

I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are. We also referred 505 to my cousin that just got married. Love this team!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

Red Bank Studio was founded in 2017 with one goal. To create unique, elegant and timeless memories for our couples. We look in meeting couples that love to be goofy , laugh and be present on their amazing day that is their Wedding Day. Our style of photography is all about you. We want to make sure we capture all the giggles, all the laughs, all the tears and even those goofy moments on the dancefloor. At the end of the day, we want to make sure you look back at your wedding day pictures and videos and relieve every single moment same like when it happened.

Let me start by saying that this bride is a bit late on reviews... but as my 1 year anniversary approaches and I look at the beautiful pictures that I have from my wedding day, I wanted to take the time to thank RB Studio and Michael! When I first contacted them I knew he was the photographer for us based on his personalized response. We asked for a bit of an unusual session from him as we wanted to travel all over the Hoboken area on our wedding day to take pictures with as many local backdrops as we could. Michael didn't blink an eye, he was all for the adventure! We were new to the area so we left it up to him to plan the day and he chose the most amazing locations, even including a coffee shop that captured part of our love story. I am thankful that we found Red Bank Studio and will be hiring him again to explore more locations in the future.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Visual Reflection Video was one of the best wedding videographers I've ever worked with! Their communication was consistent, prompt and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing - they were so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. When our photographer no-showed, the videographer took the initiative to use his own camera to capture some getting ready photos of us, even though it wasn't in our contract. He really took control of the situation and made me not worry about a thing.

They were quick to reply to our inquiries and easy to get in touch with, which made the planning process much smoother. On the day of, the quality of their work was great and the looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire event. They were also flexible in meeting us at our hotel to provide the services, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

Rebecca was, without a doubt, the best investment we made when planning our wedding. We knew the minute we hung up our initial call with her that she was going to be a perfect fit for us. Our engagement session was nothing short of perfection. She had great ideas, poses, and concepts without making us feel stressed, too staged or uncomfortable. She made us laugh constantly and the photos were stunning. The wedding day was an absolute dream! She was so unbelievably organized and brought such a calm presence to everyone involved. Rebecca took all of our wants and needs into consideration and made sure we were feeling good every step of the way. She laughed with us, joked with us and let us have emotional moments throughout the day. She was always one step ahead and solving any and all problems or issues that popped up. Our sneak peek photos were ready so fast and were AMAZING! She truly knows all the right angles, lightning and prompts to make for perfect wedding photos.

And don’t worry if you consider your self awkward, we promise you aren’t, we’ve got you!

Ben and Katya are good, down-to-earth people. Their energy and how they capture moments on the fly is professional and relaxed. They let the day play out organically while taking charge at the appropriate times. Their work is natural yet unique. As a videographer working alongside them, they were flexible, humble, and simply easy to work with.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg is a dream and truly one of the best around. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have zero regrets. She is funny, understanding, and a total professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out incredible. Can't recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

My job is to make women feel their best, whether it be a very soft natural look to full-on glam! I travel on location so that my client has one less thing to worry about.

From the very first conversation, Nancy and her team at Beauty By Nancy were a dream to work with. Their communication was proactive, detail-oriented and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, the quality of their work was simply stunning - they perfectly tailored my look to my individual style and were open to any feedback to ensure I felt my absolute best. I have never felt more gorgeous on my wedding day, and Nancy even took the time to continuously check in with me to make sure I was thrilled with the results. My bridesmaids and mom all looked gorgeous as well - people still to this day comment on how stunning our make up was! I was so blown away by their talent that I even signed up for one of their makeup classes to learn more. I cannot recommend Beauty By Nancy highly enough - they truly helped make our special day even more perfect.

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter). I’ve never felt more beautiful! I did an in-home trial so we could fine tune the look as I don’t know much about makeup. I strongly recommend the trail because it made the day-of run so much more smoothly! Sumayyah came to our venue and knew exactly what I wanted, and even helped my mom, sister, and I get into our elaborate dresses. I loved working with her!
