I cannot recommend Bupp Woodworks enough! I sent them a bouquet of peppermint carnations that held deep sentimental value, and they turned it into the most breathtaking resin pyramid I’ve ever seen. Every petal was preserved with care and artistry, and they even included the note that originally came with the bouquet—now suspended forever in a crystal-clear tribute. From start to finish, the process was smooth, communication was prompt, and the final product exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to preserve florals from a special occasion, this is it. Thank you, Bupp Woodworks, for capturing such a beautiful memory in such a unique and lasting way!

Absolutely stunning work by Bupp Woodworks and are so happy with everything from our order. Drop off was coordinated seamlessly with a family member post wedding in April and we received our pieces right before Christmas! With our florals we ordered an 11” arch, tray, letter M, ring holder, jewelry dish, Christmas ornaments and necklaces. Everything turned out beautifully and we are so happy our wedding florals have been preserved. Communication was seamless and it was so exciting to see sneak peeks throughout the process.

My bridesmaids looked amazing too— they all loved their hair and everyone thought they looked beautiful— Sophia did the makeup for my bridesmaids and all the same applies— just stellar beyond belief.

We can't say enough good things about Amp Event Professionals! We saw Ken dj at a friend's wedding and knew when our time came, we had to book him for ours! Our 2020 wedding was postponed because of the pandemic and Ken was so responsive and easy to work with when we needed to reschedule. We ended up still having a small ceremony with family and close friends and Ken treated it like it was the real thing! Even though it was small Ken thought of all the little details to make our night special! We can't wait to work with him again on round two for our big celebration this fall!

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Jeremy is absolutely fantastic to work with; he is not only professional but incredibly positive and brings great energy to any event. Our wedding was the greatest day of our lives and we are so thankful Jeremy and his team were there to document it as it really comes across in the photos. His prices were very fair and we hope to work with him and his amazing team again in the future!

Hi! I’m Amber, Owner and Lead Planner of Peony Event Planning. I built this company from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience through real weddings and collaborations with talented industry professionals. Each event has shaped me as both a planner and a business owner dedicated to creating seamless, meaningful experiences. While weddings are our specialty, we love being part of your story from beginning to end—engagements, showers, celebrations, and everything in between.

Amber is the best choice you can make for your day. We hired her as a day of coordinator. What we got was so much more. There was so many elements we had no idea about that amber held our hand through and just handled. We thought the florals were the decor. How wrong we were thank goodness we had Amber and her collection of candles to complete our room and make it perfect. In addition she went half with us on the chuppah and built it and kept it for her future brides to rent. Literally, any way amber could make our lives easier or better she did. She took on all the communications with our vendors at the 6 month mark. If something went wrong on our wedding day my husband and I couldn’t tell you. Amber made the day flow so seamlessly. She went so far above to the point where she literally took care of over 50 butterflies that my mom sent to her the week before our wedding for a release. She told me she was ensuring they stayed alive and got them there in their envelops the day of. While also keeping it a secret from everyone. I also told her multiple times when it comes time for my future children’s bar/bat mitzvahs and any other large parties she will have to branch out from weddings because I will trust no one else with those big days but her. Amber is a calming presence and becomes a friend by the time your big day comes along. I could go on forever. I could not recommend her enough. She makes all your crazy wants and desires happen.

From our first phone call I knew I was in great hands with Annette! I had somewhat of an idea of what I thought I wanted things to look like, but Annette really listened & created florals that were more than what I could have ever imagined! I could cry thinking about how much I loved them! I have been to & been in many weddings, but I truly feel I had the most beautiful bridal bouquet I have ever seen!! Annette is unbelievably kind & easy to talk to, responsive, takes the time to really listen & is remarkably knowledgeable about not only her amazing floral work, but the wedding industry in general. She also never made me feel like I was asking too many questions (even though I certainly was) & she was the calmness I needed leading up to & the day of our wedding. 10000/10 would recommend Annette over & over again. She is who you need to call if you’re looking for someone who will go above & beyond to make your special day beautiful!

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real. My goal has always been to capture moments as they genuinely unfold — not forced or overly posed, but full of emotion and authenticity. From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Lavita Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, kind, and dependable. They have a truly unique style that captured all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work was amazing - they were so appreciative and passionate about getting the perfect shots. Lavita Photography was worth every penny, and I'm so glad we chose them. Lavita ensured I got all the shots I needed, and was very detailed, even arriving early to prepare. As someone who worries a lot about trust for such an important occasion, I knew Lavita would be the best choice after they shot us in their studio for our wedding invitations. They work with all body types and made me feel and look beautiful. I even got some of the photos framed, they turned out so well!

She also helped us film a secret wedding video with our closest family that we revealed to guests on the big day, and honestly, everyone was blown away. We'll be calling on Fox Reverie Media LLC for every special moment in our lives from here on out.

Yes to I Do

  • Planner
  • Offers 2 services
  • Serves McHenry, IL

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

Working alongside Yes to I Do was such an incredible experience! As the photographer for the day, I was so impressed with how organized, communicative, and genuinely kind their team was from start to finish. They kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed, joyful atmosphere for everyone involved. It truly felt like we were all on the same page, working together to give the couple the best day ever. Can’t wait to work with this amazing team again! It was truly a dream collaboration!

Mike, Robert and Joey were absolutely phenomenal in all the ways possible! Every day we have friends and family telling us how much fun they had and enjoyed the dueling pianos as our wedding entertainment. Mike and Robert were great in engaging our guests and of course they did not disappoint with their singing and piano playing skills! Would definitely recommend them for any function!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Spruced Up Designs was an absolute must for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Leela was prompt, detailed, and incredibly organized in her communication. Her attention to every aspect of the wedding planning process was evident in the high-quality, personalized service they provided. When I didn't have menus ready, they quickly stepped in, designed, ordered, and picked them up - all before I even knew there was an issue. Leela and Brenda's kindness, efficiency, and eye for detail made them invaluable partners in creating our dream wedding day. I don't know what I would have done without them by my side, and I highly recommend Spruced Up Designs to any couple planning their special day. Also the handmade arbor was such a great touch to our ceremony!

I believe your ceremony should reflect who you are — culturally, spiritually, and personally. As a trilingual officiant, I offer ceremonies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, whether in one language or a meaningful blend of all three. Whether you envision something romantic, spiritual, or secular, I’ll help craft a celebration that feels authentically yours. I’m happy to discuss your preferences — whether we connect in person or virtually via FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Google Meet.

Deciding to work with Mylene for our wedding was the easiest yes after our first meeting. She was so thoughtful and caring throughout the whole process. She had templates that detailed everything and was willing to work with whatever we wanted to do in the ceremony. She was extremely professional and punctual on the day of the wedding. Amazing experience!
