From the smallest details to the grandest celebrations, our goal is to create timeless images and films that let you relive the magic for a lifetime.

โ€œHonestly I donโ€™t even know where to start, the photos are SO magical it feels like a dream. Everytime I look at them itโ€™s like Iโ€™m right back in that moment, the laughs, the happy tears, all of it. The video is even better because it feels like a movie of our love story. They didnt miss a single thing, from me getting ready with my girls to my husband dancing goofy at the end of the night. My veil floating in the wind, the first kiss, my dadโ€™s face when he saw me EVERYTHING is there. They even caught details I totally forgot about like the cake topper and the way the lights looked on the tables. The editing is so clean and soft but still natural, like not fake or staged. Everyone keeps telling me itโ€™s the best wedding photos theyโ€™ve ever seen. I was nervous about posing but they made me laugh and relax so it felt easy. If you want memories that look straight out of a fairytale, this is it.โ€

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œHiring BreAnn to be our day of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. We got married this past June and our day went perfectly, so smooth, no hiccups and this is all because of Bre. Anytime I recommend Bre to a future bride, one thing I always say is that when you consider how much money is going into a wedding - you should also make an investment in making sure your day runs smoothly. Bre met with me a year prior to my wedding, helped create a spreadsheet to keep track of all vendors, gave amazing recommendations on vendors, did a walk through of the venue with me, created timelines, helped with o ur rehearsal & so much more. All of that was done BEFORE the wedding day was even here. Bre goes above and beyond to coordinate all your vendors and puts so much effort in making sure your vision comes to life. The day of my wedding I, nor anyone in the bridal party was bothered with vendor questions which really allowed everyone to just be able to relax. When arriving to our venue Bre had helped set up the decor and everything was stunning. Because I live close by her she even came and picked up my welcome sign prior to the wedding day along with the marriage certificate so I truly had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Bre helped everyone stay on track with timing, helped everyone throughout the ceremony know where to stand, when to start walking, etc - which is so helpful when youโ€™re trying to get a bunch of people in a bridal party to listen. Once the wedding was over Bre packed up all of our decor making sure everything was extremely organized and she even took home my flower bouquet since I was having it preserved and helped coordinate that to ensure the bouquet would be safe at the end of the night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - just do it. You truly will not regret hiring Bre, she was the best vendor/decisions I could have made for our wedding!โ€

โ€œMichelle is one of the absolute best makeup artists Iโ€™ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Sheโ€™s creative, professional, and she makes you feel beautiful throughout the process.

"I Do" Weddings,ย Ltd.ย 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Wayne, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

โ€œRev. Phil delivered an unforgettably touching, humorous, and unique ceremony that our guests raved about. When we first found Rev. Phil, we didn't have any specific vision for our ceremony - we assumed that since we were looking for a secular ceremony that it would be bare-boned. But after speaking to Rev. Phil (who was glad to perform a secular ceremony!) and watching the love story videos on his website, we clicked immediately and took the plunge. We did go beyond our original budget, but it was so worth it.โ€

  • Florist
  • Serves Wayne, IL

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

โ€œWe loved working with Jen at the Local Petaler! Going into the planning process, I didn't have much of a vision for my wedding flowers, but Jen did a wonderful job of guiding me through the process, making recommendations, and answering all of my questions. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond! She's a true artist, and each space of the venue was beautifully done. She even put together little mini bouquets for the guests to take home at the end of the night - a great way to share the love and extend the life of the beautiful centerpieces! Thank you to the Local Petaler for making our wedding so beautiful!โ€

I believe in Good Karma and donate my talents to non-profits and good causes both in the Chicagoland area to countries as far as Kenya, Rwanda and Ukraine. Hi, I'm Louie, Chicago-based wedding photographer with a love for working with fun, creative couples who want their special day captured in an artistic, personal way! I focus on intimate and mid-size celebrations, offering a uniquely personal touch that sets us apart from larger studios. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to capture yours in a style that's fun, creative, and tailored just for you. Let's make your wedding photography as unforgettable as your love story!

โ€œWe booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If youโ€™re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.โ€

โ€œWhat can I even say! Laury was an absolute joy to work with and ensured the vision of our special day came to life! I am so beyond grateful we trusted Laury with this because to say she delivered is an understatement. She ensured the entire day ran smoothly and that every detail was executed as we intended. Even the tiniest of issues that arose she was able to fix to exactly what we wanted. I couldnโ€™t be happier with her and our choice to hire her! She is such a kind and talented human and she knows the wedding industry so well. Do yourself a favor and HIRE HER! I promise you wonโ€™t regret it.โ€
