Welcome to Dancefloor Delight, the premier wedding DJ company dedicated to making your big day an unforgettable experience! Our team of experienced and professional DJs is committed to providing top-quality entertainment that will have you and your guests dancing all night long.

On the day of the wedding, Dancefloor Delight truly exceeded our expectations. They arrived early to set up their equipment and made sure everything was in place before the reception began. Once the party started, the DJ kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. They played a great mix of music that appealed to guests of all ages, and seamlessly transitioned between songs to keep the party going. One of the things that really stood out to us was how the DJ took the time to get to know our preferences and incorporate them into the playlist. They also did a great job of reading the crowd and adjusting the music as needed to keep everyone engaged. I would definably recommend!

KAS Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Wauconda, IL

I love being able to capture those endearing, authentic laughs, and just “in the moment” moments. I believe photos are a timeless way to relive that special moment. Memories are one of the most beautiful things we as humans have, so why not have that memory frozen in time where you can physically see it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Karla did my business promo shoot, in which was a very spontaneous decision on my behalf.. being that I am pretty awkward and do not really enjoy “modeling”. I was super awkward the whole shoot but Karla made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh the whole time. It honestly didn’t even feel unnatural at all as she captured my most genuine moments. She really helped me with “easing up” since I tend to get stiff and just as awkward as can be. She was extremely professional, friendly, funny, caring and patient! She managed to capture my best angles in which surprised me because my whole life I always get pictures taken of me and my lovely best friend AKA my double chin. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer for any and every occasion possible. She comes off as a friend and not a stranger at all, which is why I’m looking forward to booking any future shoots I plan to take and she will also be the only person I am confident in recommending to others! SHE IS THE BEST.

Our team of creative souls, organized planners, open communicators, and fierce negotiators will work with you every step of the way to bring your biggest event dreams to life.

We stumbled upon Dave accidentally but what a clear meet/cute - stars aligning moment. We were lucky enough to have Dave work with us for a little over 2 years to make our dream wedding come true. He was great about staying in contact even when we were far out from making big decisions, as we creeped closer and closer to the big day we began meeting monthly or bi-weekly. I never had one moment throughout the entire planning process where I had concern for his bandwidth or frustrations that either I or my other vendors may have caused. What I think I loved most, was his understanding of my vision. He took the time to understand what my husband and I both wanted and envisioned. On the big day, Dave was like the wind - he was EVERYWHERE but NOWHERE. I didn't have one person (vendor related) speak to me and when issues did arise, they always will no matter how hard you plan, he was able to make executive decisions without a hesitation knowing I had full trust in him. I couldn't imagine having done the wedding without him and am forever grateful for these past 2 years. I can't wait to hire him back in 15-20 years for a renewal ;)

I cannot share enough what a wonderful experience we had with Monica and hiring state of glamor for our wedding in March. Monica was super professional, easy and fun to work with, and did a fantastic job communicating throughout the process. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and nailed it! I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup so I was very nervous going in, and Monica did such a great job of explaining everything and really giving me a natural glamorous look. She did a wonderful job during the trial and really took the time to make sure I was absolutely in love with my look! I was so happy with how my makeup and hair turned out the day of the wedding and when we received photos back it was truly amazing to see how well the hair and make up photographed! All of my bridesmaids who received makeup and hair services were also very impressed! Monica and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend them for anyone's wedding day!

Nice to meet you, I’m Alena or lena, whatever you want to call me.

With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

We are a family business, everything started 2019. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality Management and I enjoy the process of planning events, decorations, scheduling, and timelines. I worked in the hotel business for almost 10 years until I realized that I wanted to start working in what I love and I'm passionate about. That's how I decided to open my own company!

We were looking for a day of planner and Lori was highly recommended to us by Kelly from Sew Bridal (who was given the recommendation by other brides). We ended up hiring VR Inspirations for the day of and rented couches, an arch and got florals for the arch. Our wedding day went so smoothly largely thanks to Lori and John. They went above and beyond, kept the timing perfect, made sure details were not forgotten, and allowed us to be worry free. We also hired their team to set up our entire wedding, centerpieces included, and it all looked so amazing! They had couches in the bridal suite and moved them around the venue for cocktail hour and the reception. They also found and saved me a piece of cake at the end of the night(and gave it to me the next day) when I was bummed that I didn’t eat any and wasn’t able to take any home!

I am a Chicago, Illinois mobile makeup artist specializing in soft glam, high glam, prom, photoshoots and bridal wedding makeup since 2014. I am very passionate about makeup artistry and uplifting people through the power of makeup. I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.

Exquisitely Designed Events by Veronica is a planning company servicing the Greater Chicagoland Area offering personalized wedding design and planning services. ​ At Exquisitely Designed, we collaborate with our couples to internalize their dreams, conceptualize a vision, and deliver a wedding as unique as their love story. ​ Our goal is to create an event to surpass your expectations!

Veronica is truly the best wedding coordinator out there. She and her team went above and beyond and my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! Veronica was involved with the wedding planning months beforehand (unlike most wedding coordinators I spoke to!) and she was so detailed and organized that she truly put my type-A personality at ease!!! I knew I was in the best of hands after our first conversation and on the wedding day I was completely relaxed because I knew I could trust her to handle any hiccups. She also did my floral arrangements and was present at all the meetings with the venue and caterer to make sure that everyone was aligned on my vision. When she showed me the reception hall before my guests arrived it took my breath away-- it was even better than I envisioned!!! Her eye for detail is incredible and my reception decorations were breathtaking. I also have to acknowledge Veronica's assistant Sharae because she too was the best ever-- I definitely walked away from my wedding weekend with a new best friend. Sharae kept me calm and laughing on my wedding day and made the entire pre-ceremony experience SO MUCH FUN!!! Honestly, my wedding day would have felt much different if Sharae wasn't there. I actually got emotional saying goodbye because she was such an important part of my day too. I never thought I would grow so close to a wedding vendor, but I now consider Veronica, Sharae, and the entire Exquisitely Designed Events team like family. They truly made my wedding the best day ever!!!
