Blue Moon Event Planning

  • Serves Russell, IL for additional fees

Hey, I’m Melissa. I’ve been producing live events for 12 years. From large theatrical stage shows to public festivals and concerts, from weddings to private parties, my expertise is vast and has given me the tools to produce excellent events. I’m a logistics junkie. Creating a timeline that makes sense and a flow that feels organic makes the guest experience unforgettable.

I've been so lucky to team up with Melissa on a couple wedding events over the years. One in particular I watched her display and arrange literally hundreds of toys and comic book trinkets for a wedding reception. She is timely, responsive, trusting and really sets expectations and the foundation for a smooth wedding day. She knows her venues very well and I love the care and respect that she has for her couples. Melissa is the best!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Russell, IL for additional fees

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

If you are looking for a photographer that is a true master of his craft as well as an all-around great person, look no further. Matt Wilson is in my opinion, one of the best wedding photographers out there! From the very first time we talked to Matt, we could tell how easy it was going to be working with him throughout our wedding weekend. Taking one look at his past work also made us feel confident in his approach - a wonderfully raw, moody and emotive narrative of our wedding day (unlike a bunch of posed pictures, although he did those too thanks to our parents ;)) His calm, attentive and composed demeanor, practical advice on what can/cannot be accomplished, ability to deal with last minute changes, and overall artistic vision resulted in the end product (our final pictures) being better than we could have ever imagined! Throughout the weekend, he was ever present but never obtrusive, and somehow managed to capture the most candid as well as the most important moments effortlessly. Even after the wedding, he made sure to devote time helping us pick the best pictures (an impossible task considering each one was worthy of its own frame) and patiently complied them into a beautiful album. Looking back, hiring Matt was the best decision we made. Thanks to his skill and dedication to his craft, we now have memories that we will cherish for a lifetime! Highly recommend you trusting him and his term with your big celebrations!!

Hi, I'm Danielle, I have been doing makeup for over 20 years! We are traveling, licensed and insured, professional makeup artists servicing Illinois and Indiana with prices starting at $80! Traveling Makeup Artists Specializing in Regular/Airbrushing, Bridal, and FX/Tattoo Coverage Makeup.

I loved how my girls and I looked on the day! Stunning work! However, I would just feel bad for future brides if I didn’t share that you need to be 100% on your timeline and # of people before you book. It is not an advantage to book early with them. Ended up paying about 6 services more than I used because of changes. I added a 4th artist and was totally fine with that fee her making a min of 5 services while keeping pay for all other artists as is, just bit the cost because that makes sense. However, my original contract with the owner had herself doing 5 people. When we added a second artist she was doing 4 but being paid for 5 to honor original contract. When going back to 5 she wanted me to pay again for that person, even though technically she was already being paid for 5 services and she was going to do 5 services…

Films by Emelie 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Russell, IL for additional fees

I grew up in a small town on the west coast of Sweden and while my heart will always long for the ocean breeze, I have made Indiana my home together with my husband, Ryan, and our three children, Felix, Axel and Elinora. I specialize in wedding films that capture all those fleeting moments; the nerves, the excitement, the happy tears, the joy, and the pure love unfolding on one of the most special days of your life.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emelie shoot the video for our wedding in April 2020. When we chose Emelie we had planned a large extravagant wedding at our venue with 250+ people. With the pandemic hitting our country just the month before our big day we were stuck with a ton of options and not really knowing what to do. We decided to go through with our wedding plans on our original day but we were only allowed to have 10 people there- including ourselves. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Emelie would be one of those 10 people no matter what, and I have never regretted that decision. Emelie captured our day and our love perfectly. I think my favorite thing about her is that she is so quiet that you barely realize she is there but the creative juices are flowing through her and that really shows in all of her videos. My favorite thing to do (probably once a week) is watch our video and cry many happy tears. I love the way she tells all of her couples love stories, but especially ours. My best advice is if you’re thinking about video but don’t know how to fit it in your budget- FIND A WAY! Save all the pennies and throw them toward Emelie. You will never regret it.

We're a boutique wedding production company who prides ourselves on providing beautiful, memorable films for all of our clients that reflect who they are and what their wedding day truly was. We believe that a true wedding film should be more than just slow motion footage set to music. We want to capture the action, the sound, the entire feeling of the day. Your wedding film should let you see, hear, and re-live things as they happened in a unique, artistic way. We're not about artificially staging moments; we want to bring out the beauty in how you enjoyed and celebrated on the wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we inquired with Shannon he put us at ease and really connected with our personalities. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire him to film our wedding. We are so grateful that we did! I know that everyone enjoys their own wedding films, but he was able to personalize ours in a way that is hard to describe. His team just captured the mood perfectly. It feels totally us when we watch it back. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Indianapolis Wedding Photographer specializing in joyful and inclusive wedding photography! My ultimate goal as your photographer is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident as HECK in front of a camera. It's unnatural to pose, I get it! That's why I make it fun and personal so it feels effortless. I am a sucker for a true candid photograph, so you can bet on me cracking jokes and being silly with you to break you out of that shell! I love people. And I love people showing their love to OTHER people... you see the cycle?

Zoe helped us when we lost our photographer for our wedding at the last second. She called immediately to go over details of any special items that needed to be captured along with our schedule. She sent over the contract immediately for review - the turn around time/responsiveness was impressive!! Not only did she help us out, she was a pleasure to work with! She had us laughing the whole time and it was a super comfortable/organic experience. She captured moments with our family that I will cherish forever. I cried and laughed while looking at our gallery - she was able to capture so many emotions of the day. The photos are beyond beautiful and the editing provides a timeless look and feel. I would highly recommend working with Zoe if you’re thinking about it. I cannot say enough good things about this super talented woman!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Russell, IL for additional fees

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

If you think you are going to get a run of the mill Dj, who just stands behind the booth, look else where. Gregory IS THE PARTY, not only is he versatile with genres but also play songs from the 70's and 80's to current Pop and Afrobeats, truly his musical vocabulary is quite unmatched. Which is why we wanted him at our wedding. and he did not disappoint. At our wedding he danced bachata with guests, he sang with parents, he hosted a dance completion and, literally was the talk of the day for weeks to come. For us, we opted to get the largest package which included bringing not just 1 but 3 of his Dj colleagues, and 4 Speakers running music in three different spaces within the venue. Cocktail hour was a live Brooklyn Brunch Themed Set, with DJ Thematics Inside was a Jazz playlist for our older guest who wanted to stay and chat And an all party in the evening as he plays along side Dj Mastermind & Dj Blackout. All of which was a separate location from the ceremony space which had its own amplification. I have nothing else to say but 5 Stars across the board

We’re Kristyn and Jon! We’ve been together since 2014 and got married in 2019 with an epic disaster of a wedding! We planned it so carefully and thought of every detail so we could give our guests the ultimate experience (being wedding pros and all) and ended up with a monsoon that caused our tent to start collapsing! In the end, nothing went as planned except that we did what we set out to do- marry each other! While we can’t control the weather on your day, we can make it an amazing, fun-filled experience and be able to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, creating a work of art with your memories at the center of it.

I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for.

We’re Kristyn and Jon! We’ve been together since 2014 and got married in 2019 with an epic disaster of a wedding! We planned it so carefully and thought of every detail so we could give our guests the ultimate experience (being wedding pros and all) and ended up with a monsoon that caused our tent to start collapsing! In the end, nothing went as planned except that we did what we set out to do- marry each other! While we can’t control the weather on your day, we can make it an amazing, fun-filled experience and be able to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, creating a work of art with your memories at the center of it.
