We got married at Rush Lake Memories this June and we had a wonderful experience! The staff were super friendly and willing to answer all of our questions. They were super accommodating of our needs and flexible to ensure we had the best experience possible. Throughout the entire process, Rush Lake Memories had great communication with us! The day of our wedding, the event space was extremely clean and well organized. The Bridal and Groom suites were really nice to get ready in, and everyone was so welcoming! The venue is absolutely beautiful, and having a beautiful ceremony space in the same location as the reception was really convenient for us and everyone who attended.

My husband and I recently got married at the stunning Lakefront Pavilion at Bay Pointe Inn — and from the very beginning, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do.” We have absolutely no regrets! The venue is breathtaking on its own, with gorgeous waterfront views that created the most peaceful, romantic atmosphere. On top of that, the staff’s hospitality was next-level. They provided so much helpful guidance throughout the planning process and truly made everything feel seamless. Even without a wedding planner, I felt fully supported thanks to their incredible in-house catering and event managers (shoutout to Mariesa and Juno!) and our amazing day-of coordinator, Meagan. She ran the show flawlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — I truly can’t thank her enough. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner onsite in the Fireside Room, which made everything so easy and gave us extra time to enjoy with our family and wedding party. The food was delicious, and another huge perk was staying in the beautiful Bay Pointe cottages. Having a place right at the venue for all of us to stay and celebrate together made the weekend even more special. All night long, our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. It was everything we dreamed of and more — the most magical place to start our forever. We truly couldn’t recommend Bay Pointe more!!

We got married at the Blue Dress Barn this summer and our entire wedding day was like a fairytale--we still can't get over how beautiful everything was. The greenery and grounds of the BDB are unmatched and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was. Amelia is helpful and easy to work with and Georgia is lovely as well. The barn staff left the florals up on the arch and in the barn from the night before, which was such an incredible surprise because they were so gorgeous. The getting ready areas for the bridesmaids and groomsmen had so many beautiful & intentional details that made it so special for us. The venue is also well known by other vendors in the area as well since it's been around for so long (23 years!), and so working with our catering staff (Classic Catering), photography (Spencer Penfield) and DJ (DJ Jennefa) was a breeze. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. We feel so grateful we were able to spend our favorite day with all of our friends and family at this beautiful venue! Thank you, Amelia!

I couldn’t say it enough, hiring White Aster Planning for my day of coordinating was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Amy was so helpful in organizing all of my thoughts in the weeks leading up to the big day, she calmed all of the anxiety I had about planning. She did an Amazing job wrangling everyone and making sure we all knew what to do during the rehearsal. And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
5/5 — Absolutely Exceptional We had the absolute joy of working with Rikilee from Get Lucky Photography for our August 31 wedding, and we could not be more grateful for the magic she created. From start to finish, truly, from the entire wedding weekend. She and her second shooter captured every moment with an eye for beauty, emotion, and authenticity that is rare to find. Our ceremony took place in a greenhouse on a friend’s farm, and somehow Rikilee managed to translate the atmosphere exactly as it felt: warm, intimate, a little whimsical, and totally us. She intuitively understood how to use the natural light, the greenery, and the environment to make every photo feel alive. The images she delivered are more than photographs…they’re memories we can feel when we look at them. Beyond her artistry, what really stood out was her presence. She was calm, confident, kind, and organized. She gave direction when we needed it, blended seamlessly into the background when moments were unfolding naturally, and made everyone, from bridal party to family to guests, feel comfortable and cared for. It was like having an extra friend there who just happened to be documenting everything perfectly. Her second shooter was equally incredible, capturing angles and candid moments we never would’ve seen otherwise. Together, they didn’t miss a single detail. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in telling the story of your day, book Get Lucky Photography. We are forever grateful for the images we now have. Timeless, vibrant, emotional, and truly reflective of who we are and the love we celebrated. We would choose Rikilee again a thousand times over. — Devon & Yvonne

On the big day, they arrived right on time and immediately got to work making me and my bridesmaids feel gorgeous. They were so understanding of what we wanted, and helped bring our vision to life. The hair was absolutely beautiful and lasted fairly well (considering it was 90 degrees and very humid) all night long as we danced the night away. I felt like the most stunning bride, and my girls couldn't stop complimenting how lovely their styles turned out. Style Unveiled's work is just gorgeous, and their sweet team helped make our wedding day feel that much more special. For beautiful work and wonderful communication, I would highly recommend them!

We knew we wanted our wedding to be full of dancing, so our DJ was one of the first vendors we booked. We hit the absolute JACKPOT with Luxx and DJ Mike. Mike kept the party going and the only time our guests were leaving the dance floor was to grab another drink. Even our friends and family who don't dance were out on the dance floor tearing it up thanks to Mike. He did a great job mixing songs and keeping the energy high. We had so many guests tell us after the wedding it was the best music and dance floor of any wedding they'd been to. Mike was incredibly professional and easy to work with and we can't recommend him and Luxx Entertainment enough!

My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening.

Classic Catering GREATLY outshined all the other caterers we looked at in the area. They were focused on our satisfaction first and foremost. The entire process was very easy, and our contact, Autumn, was a pleasure to work with. They have a HUGE selection of various dishes so they can fit any theme you want for your event. I remember every wedding I went to that had terrible food, and it was my goal to make sure that our food was fantastic. Classic Catering absolutely blew away my expectations, and our friends and family keep talking about how amazing everything was. The appetizers were delicious, the dinner was outstanding (and with huge portions), and the desserts were otherworldly. Catering can be such a worry when it comes to your wedding, but if you choose Classic Catering, you won't have to worry at all. You and your guests won't be disappointed. Stop your search here.

I ordered the buckets of blooms and arranged ourselves. We received beautiful flowers based off my Pinterest pictures. They included the specific flowers I had in mind too. Pick up was easy off the farm.

My husband and I both hate having our photos taken but Shawnia and her team made the process smooth and stress free. She was organized, communicative, and most of all, made it fun! She told us what to do and how to pose in a way that made the photos come out looking natural as well as capturing many great photos when we weren’t paying attention that really displayed our personalities and love for each other. Communication is amazing throughout the process and turnaround time on photos was insanely fast for how many photos we received. Would 100% recommend Oh Shoot Photography again and again!

Kristen did hair for my August wedding and she did a great job! I had a few inspiration photos and we tried quite a few things during my trial before I picked what I wanted. She was so patient and experienced, the whole process was really great. She worked with straight hair, curly hair, and extensions with ease. My hair doesn’t hold curl well so she pinned it for a while after curling it on the day of and it held much longer than I expected! I would absolutely recommend her to any future brides.

I am so glad we hired Marco for our wedding florals. He was magnificent. The day of the wedding, I was beyond impressed about how all the florals looked. It was more amazing than I even envisioned. Him and his team are beyond talented. Throughout the process of wedding planning, Marco was super communicative and helpful. He was thoughtful in helping me stay as close to my budget as possible. I also appreciated how he worked with my other vendors as well to make our day as fabulous as possible. Marco truly cares about his clients. I couldn't recommend him enough!!! Thank you for everything.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.
