She worked closely with my fiancé to bring our ideas to life and guided him through every step of the buying process with patience and expertise. The attention to detail in the final ring is incredible, and the pricing was incredibly fair for the quality of work we received. Alesha made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with our ring or our experience at K. Hollis Jewelers!

Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments: A wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a day filled with moments that will never happen again—a nervous smile before the ceremony, your dad's expression as he sees you for the first time, the hug from your grandmother that lasts just a little longer than expected. Those moments can't be staged, repeated, or recreated. That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Thomas did an amazing job with the engagement photos and our wedding photos. Choosing your photographer is a big deal and we are so glad we chose Thomas. We love all of our photos and I’m so glad we have them to cherish for the rest of our lives.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

She's the best of the best when it comes to wedding day, she will guide her couples and work with them to get the shots that they love and need for memories. I appreciate her ability to get the job done and doesnt stress her couples to the max.

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
Wow... just wow. I am SO beyond grateful that I chose Grayter Events for my day-of wedding coordination. It was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Everything went so perfectly and seamlessly, and I didn't have to stress about a single thing the entire day because BreAnn had it all covered. She thought of absolutely everything. I think she opened at least 10 water bottles for me just to make sure I was actually drinking water! She was always one step ahead, making sure I had everything I needed before I even realized I needed it. Even at the rehearsal, I didn't have to do anything. BreAnn jumped right in, knew exactly what to do, and confidently took charge. She was organized, calm, and assertive in the best way possible. Watching her handle so many moving pieces without ever looking stressed was honestly incredible. Her calmness helped keep me calm too. Because of BreAnn, I was actually able to be fully present and enjoy every second of my wedding day instead of worrying about timelines, vendors, or what was happening next. She made my wedding day exactly what I had dreamed of, and I will forever be thankful for everything she did. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT—and hire Grayter Events. I truly cannot recommend BreAnn and her team enough. She is beyond organized, so kind, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. She is simply the best, and I can't imagine my wedding day without her.

Featured in Modern Luxury Chicago Bride, and award-winning online and print magazines, I become couples’ go-to person on the day, building trust and creating images they’ll treasure forever. — Joe

Working with Joe was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, he made everything feel effortless. He’s calm, fun, and somehow everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. He went above and beyond — from stepping into traffic to help us get the perfect shot to catering to every need we had. Our photos at the Peninsula Hotel, North Avenue Beach, Millennium Park, the Rookery, and Board of Trade are absolutely stunning, and we get to relive the day every time we look at them. Joe isn’t just a photographer — he’s like family now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the pictures.

True Cuisine was absolutely incredible! From our tasting to the big day, they were very communicative and served delicious food. They came recommended by our venue, and it’s evident why. True Cuisine made our food fresh on site, and we think that’s part of what made the dishes so amazing. It was more than just traditional “wedding food”, the flavors in each dish were top notch! Our dessert table and late night snack were a hit!! We loved every aspect of working with True Cuisine and would recommend for any type of event!!

As I wedding photographer I have had the pleasure of working with Premier Entertainment, run by the dynamic duo Darrin and Cheryl Lee, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Having known Darrin for over 10 years and collaborating with him on several occasions, I’ve always been impressed by his professionalism and passion for creating unforgettable events. Darrin’s expertise on the dance floor is unmatched. He utilizes a wide range of top-notch DJ equipment that really elevates the atmosphere. Whether it’s pumping up the energy during a wedding reception or creating the perfect vibe for a corporate event, he knows how to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged. Cheryl complements Darrin perfectly by ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. She’s like the conductor of a finely tuned orchestra, managing the event with precision while also interacting with guests to keep the fun going. One standout feature of Premier Entertainment is their innovative photobooth options. They add a fun, interactive element that guests absolutely love, capturing memories in a unique way. What truly sets them apart, though, is their exceptional pre-event timeline creation. It’s far superior to anything I’ve seen, providing a clear roadmap for the event and ensuring that everything unfolds seamlessly. If you’re looking for a DJ service that delivers not just great music but a complete entertainment experience, Premier Entertainment is the way to go! Darrin and Cheryl Lee are a fantastic team that truly makes your event memorable.
