Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake we could have dreamed of. From our first tasting to the final reveal, the entire experience felt thoughtful, creative and enchanting. She took every idea we shared and turned it into something far more beautiful than we imagined. The cake itself was pure magic. The hand painted Forbidden Forest, the white stag Patronus, the elegant gold detailing, the “Always” inscription and the Golden Snitch on top all came together so perfectly. It truly felt like a piece of the wizarding world brought to life in the most elegant way. On top of being stunning, the cake was completely gluten free for my allergy and still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were amazed that something so beautiful could also taste so good. People are still talking about it. Seeing the cake on our wedding day was a moment I will never forget. Nadiya’s talent, care and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for the magic she created and for giving us a cake that was meaningful, delicious and everything we hoped for. Thank you, Nadiya, for bringing our vision to life so perfectly.

Denise and her team were such a pleasure to work with! As a photographer I’m able to almost go on autopilot when working with Marryment because I know they are on top of every small detail! From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising. That tells me one thing that is most important for any planner to have with couples…Trust! Every couple knows undoubtedly that their day is in great hands with Marryment!

Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.

Bogdanov Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer. He communicated very well with my large family, ensuring that everyone was in the right place at the right time for photos. He takes such clean, beautifully edited photos that we will treasure forever.

Hi, I’m Joe! I’ve been photographing weddings for over 20 years because I love capturing authentic, heartfelt, and timeless moments while keeping the day fun and stress-free. I gently guide couples and families when needed, making sure the moments that matter most are captured beautifully. 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.

I couldn’t recommend Premier Entertainment enough to anyone looking to host a wedding or an event! Darrin and his wife are incredible and Darrin was so organized and thorough and friendly during the entire planning process! Our guests never left the dance floor from start to finish. He was so collaborative and made great suggestions! The generations dance he came up with was such a creative spin on the typical anniversary dance. It really got the party started! Thanks again for everything!!

We had a last-minute cancellation with another team and found these guys by sheer luck. It was meant to be. They were responsive, creative, and just lovely people. Our friends and family still talk about how amazing the footage looks. It’s so emotional and cinematic but still real. Just wow.
