Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have had "Hairs 2 the Bride" for our wedding on September 21, 2024! From start to finish, they were fantastic. I went to a hair and makeup trial before the wedding, and both Eva and Maria were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional. They took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and made sure everything was perfect. I felt so comfortable with them, and they made the trial fun and relaxing. On the wedding day, we decided to add Natalia to the team after discussing with the owner, and it turned out to be the best decision. Having an additional stylist really helped speed up the process, and everything ran so smoothly as a result. They brought everything they needed, including lighting, and set up in no time. They were punctual, organized, and ready to get started as soon as we arrived at the venue. Throughout the morning, Eva, Maria, and Natalia were a joy to be around. They kept the whole group on time without making it feel rushed, which was such a relief with all the wedding-day chaos. They were also fun to talk to and kept the mood light, which made the getting-ready process so enjoyable. I had a bit of a rash on my shoulder that day, and I was really concerned about it. But the team worked their magic and expertly covered it – I couldn’t even tell it was there! They also added on makeup services for my mother-in-law at the last minute, which was so thoughtful. My mother-in-law was absolutely thrilled with how she looked and felt so special. In the end, I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and I have "Hairs 2 the Bride" to thank for that. They made me, my bridal party, and my family look and feel beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough – they’re not just talented professionals, but they genuinely care about making your day perfect!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.

I later expanded globally, working in Forbes 5-Star hotels, major cruise lines, and luxury concepts across Mexico, the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S., including Chicago.

I recently had the pleasure of having Cocktail Evolution at my wedding, and it was truly the best cocktail experience of my life. From the moment the bartenders arrived, their professionalism and fun energy set the tone for an unforgettable evening. They crafted incredible cocktails - each one a perfect balance of flavor - and our guests couldn’t stop talking about them. The entire process was seamless and stress-free thanks to their attention to detail and expertise.

Hi, I'm Lexi! I started Gott You Media because I've always been the friend with the camera, drawn to capturing the in-between moments that end up meaning the most. I'm not a traditional videographer. I'm your behind-the-scenes content creator, capturing all the raw, candid, real moments of your day and turning them into reels, TikToks, and clips you'll actually want to post. You'll have all your raw footage by the next morning and a polished recap reel within the week. More than just your content team, I'm by your side the whole day, hyping you up, calming nerves, and making sure you're fully present for every moment.

We hired Lexi to capture our daughter's wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Her communication leading up to the day was so easy and responsive, we never had to worry about a thing. At the wedding she blended right in, had the whole family laughing and hyping up the bride before the ceremony, and we barely noticed she was there during the important moments. By the next morning we had all the raw footage on our phones, which was amazing. Then a few days later she sent us this recap reel that had our entire family in tears. We've probably watched it 50 times already. She genuinely cares about making your day special and it shows in everything she does. Worth every penny.

We had our wedding in the Cellar room at Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Arlington Heights, and it was everything we dreamed. The room is truly fantastic because it sits downstairs away from the rest of the restaurant for a truly private event. Additionally, the room includes a large bar and even a small dance floor. We worked well with the event planning team who made us feel supported, valued, and at ease during what can be an overwhelming planning process. The food was absolutely phenomenal. It was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and served with perfect timing. The delivery of restaurant-quality dining for a wedding is truly impressive. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was from start to finish. The service was outstanding as well. The staff was attentive without ever feeling intrusive, extremely professional, and incredibly organized. Everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. One of the things that meant the most to us was how flexible and accommodating they were with the décor. They allowed us to transform the space into a very elegant setting that perfectly matched our vision. Every detail, from the color palette to the floral and candle arrangements, was able to shine because they gave us the space and freedom to design the atmosphere we wanted. They also worked beautifully with all of our vendors, making coordination easy and stress-free. A very special thank-you goes to our event manager, who was truly exceptional. She was responsive, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her calm leadership and clear communication ensured that everything came together effortlessly. Our wedding day felt elegant, seamless, and unforgettable—and so much of that is because of the incredible team at Cooper’s Hawk - Arlington Heights.

At Well Told Weddings we understand the importance of collaboration and coordinating with vendors to provide your ceremony service and reception with the utmost in audio quality and clarity. We understand the value of ending your special day on a high note; let us use our experience to help make your night perfect.

DJ Jordan was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. From our very first call, he was easy to talk to, listened to what we wanted, and immediately made us feel comfortable trusting his expertise. On the wedding day, he timed every ceremony song perfectly, making all of those emotional, dramatic, and fun moments feel exactly how we had envisioned them. During the reception, he kept everything running seamlessly. His announcer voice was fantastic, his transitions were smooth, and he kept us right on schedule without anything ever feeling rushed or forced. We even made a last-minute change to our reception entrance song the morning of the wedding, and Jordan handled it without missing a beat. He made it happen like it had been planned all along. And the dancing… Jordan absolutely crushed it. It felt like he knew the perfect order to play every song to keep the dance floor full all night. There was never a point where the energy dropped, and our guests had an amazing time. I also really appreciated that he was thoughtful about guest song requests, only mixing them in when they fit the vibe we were going for. We had so much fun dancing the night away, and a huge part of that was because of Jordan. If you’re looking for a DJ who is organized, adaptable, professional, and knows exactly how to keep a party going, look no further. We couldn’t recommend him more!

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!

For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.

I couldn’t have asked for a better bridal hair and makeup team! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The planning and trial were such a breeze and made me feel completely confident going into the big day. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. My artist, Kate, worked efficiently so we stayed on schedule, but nothing ever felt rushed. And most importantly, the results were absolutely flawless—my hair and makeup (and my families) looked incredible and lasted all day and night. I highly recommend to any bride looking for a stress-free and beautiful experience!

We had such a great experience working with Windy City Glam for our bridal hair and makeup. From our first conversation, they were quick to respond and answered all our questions in a friendly way that made us feel at ease about choosing them. Scheduling the trial was easy and the experience was fun and helped me figure out a look for the day. They also helped by creating a timeline for the morning of our wedding, which made the morning calm and smooth. On the big day, our artist Samantha was on time, warm and skilled, and she listened to our feedback and made adjustments to make sure we felt beautiful and confident. We were very happy with the service they provided and would absolutely recommend them to any bride looking for a professional team that truly cares about making you look your best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our guests still to this day rave about our music and DJ! We were extremely happy with Okyne Medialab, which was a referral from our wedding planner. (I always knew that I wanted a DJ compared to a band just because of personal preference of the type of music we like.) Al hosted multiple calls us, was a phone call away with any questions, and then even attended our final walk through to determine speaker locations and overall plan. Leading up to our wedding at the Chicago History Museum, we felt confident that Okyne would execute our vision and they most certainly did. DJ Alan came dressed to impressed to our black tie wedding and was professional, yet such a fun DJ! All of our must haves were played ( any songs from our do not play list were not played haha) and played right on time. (Timing is everything!!) I highly recommend Okyne Media Lab!!
