Trish is a great make up artist. She knows how to achieve a glam without it being “too much”. I also love that she makes sure that a client is satisfied and changes up anything if necessary. I always recommend her to friends and family.

If you've stumbled across this review looking for a DJ for your wedding, look no further. Nick DJ-ed our wedding this summer, and we couldn't have been happier! He helped us each month with planning, worked with our other vendors day-of to ensure the reception ran smoothly, and kept the dance floor going all night by properly mixing songs. He even made custom edits of songs for us, as needed. I would also HIGHLY recommend the photo booth, his wife Susan ran it during our wedding and it was a big hit! We had everyone put one copy of their pictures into a guest book for us to keep, and they kept the other. Much better than a traditional guest book! Overall, Impulse Entertainment gave us peace of mind that the reception would run smoothly and on schedule. Their service was excellent, they are really friendly people, and most importantly they want you to enjoy your special day!

I used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Wilmington, IL

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot made all of our dreams come true. His professionalism and talent does not go unnoticed. He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding before we even had a venue figured out because of how much we loved his work. He is incredibly responsive to texts and emails which is so important when planning a wedding. He was very prepared for the wedding day! Elliot was able to make sure we stayed on schedule and even moved events around when needed to get the best photos possible since our wedding was outside. He went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. By the end of the night, we didn't want it to end so we even extended his services by an hour which he happily made work. We even had sneak peeks by dinner time which surprised us. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. I am recommending him to all of my friends with weddings in the future. I can't imagine my wedding any other way. Thank you Elliot!

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Wilmington, IL

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I started my company out of my love for makeup. Cliché, I know. I grew up dancing and always had to have a full face of makeup. I quickly learned how much I enjoyed the entire process of getting glam. But to be honest, the best part of my job is making someone feel their absolute best. It is such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day. It truly fills my heart, and I look forward to building ongoing relationships with every one of my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa Lynn was always super quick to respond and super nice throughout the entire process from start to end. Her artist, Natalie from Alyssa Lynn Makeup did my make up for my wedding day (Aug 31, 2024) and the work she did was phenomenal! She was able to hide my stress acne and I got soooo many compliments and my entire bridal party loved their looks too! Natalie was super relaxed which is just what I needed as the wedding day nerves kicked in. From the moment I sat in the makeup chair I was able to relax. She was great at making any adjustments we wanted as well. Everyone said my makeup held up nicely throughout the entire day and I am in love with every picture I've took. I seriously wish she could do my makeup everyday as she really helped make me feel stunning. Highly recommend!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

I did not know Abbey from Adam, but booking with her is one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is personal, hilarious, professional, and great at her job. You need someone kicked out of the picture? Abbey is on it. You need a picture of a child laughing? Abbey’s got you. You need a picture that you didn’t know you needed? Abbey took it. She will make you feel comfortable during the entire session. Not only is she good at editing her photos, but she is also great at positioning everyone for the perfect picture. She has some tricks up her sleeve that will leave you laughing and giggling for days. During my husband and I’s engagement session, she told my husband to “whisper his favorite thing about me in my ear.” Of course my husband says something to get me laughing and make my cheeks bright red (no blush needed for this session). Overall Abbey is amazing and I cannot imagine another person taking our pictures. She will be our forever photographer!

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I've always been an artist, but my love for photography truly took hold when I photographed my first wedding in 2007. That day, I fell in love with everything about weddings— getting to work with all kinds of people and personalities, capturing every moment and each detail, and even getting to bust a move on the dance floor every now and then.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lux Everlasting was the ideal videographer for my wedding. The planning process was fun, and always ended with me feeling heard/understood. They gave my ideas life and produced my fondest product from the wedding day. We rewatch our video every year and it's as magical as the day we got married because Lux Everlasting cultivated a beautiful work of art that mirrored a perfect fall day.

Alexandra Robyn Photo + Design

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Wilmington, IL

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

I don't have a unique photo style, I try to use them all to tell every story, and that helps me capture so many beautiful moments. I capture candid moments as well as helping the couple with their favorite portrait ones.

We had a wonderful experience with Pierro, he was so easy to work with and kept the experience fun and relaxed. Loved his ideas for memorable photos and his ability to capture the best moments! His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!

Her calm demeanor made the day feel effortless for me and that I was in good hands no matter what was going on around me.

In addition to the amazing service we received the day of the wedding, Chelcie’s photography style, editing, and eye for detail make her a really special photographer.

We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup was amazing! Jenna Marie and her team are wonderful, talented, friendly and fun. I was lucky enough to spend my engagement session, wedding trial and wedding day with Jenna. She ensured that I felt beautiful each time while also ensuring that my hair and makeup held up. Air brush is the way to go in south Florida, especially in humid June. On the day of, Matt, Mahroza, Tabitha, Illana and Diana ensured the bridal party and mother of the bride and groom felt their best. All of their makeup still looked fresh at 2AM! I booked Jenna Marie for the one-on-one bridal concierge service. She spent 3 hours providing me a relaxing hair and make-up experience and then stayed a few hours as well to touch up my hair and makeup, while also fixing my train and ensuring I was put together for all pictures (even bringing me extra water and a drink!) The biggest bonus is that she took many behind the scenes photos and videos and shared them on Instagram, which was amazing to see since it’s months before we receive day off pictures. Communication and schedules were spot on! All of the admin and staff are kind and easy to work with. Hair and makeup exceeded all my expectations. I would rate Kiss This Makeup a 10/10! I hope I have another event in which I can book them again soon!
