For your convenience, included below is a list of local vendors, whom I have either worked with or hired, and whom I highly recommend!
Rock 1 Photography
Brittany Schultz
There is no photographer in the greater Chicagoland and southern Wisconsin area who is more talented, passionate, or as kind as Brittany. Call her - you won't be disappointed!
Parkway Banquets
Ingleside, IL & Round Lake Beach, IL
Parkway Banquets has two locations - both of which are equally stunning. The staff are incredibly hard working and eager to assure your event goes exactly as planned (if not even better than you expected). A must see!
DJ Enterprises
"DJ Pete" Weldon
DJ Pete was the wedding DJ for my wedding, and wow - did we have a blast. He has an uncanny ability to read a crowd and play just the right song at just the right time. I would not recommend any other DJ... He's the best.
Beauty Beyond Makeup
Rosie Dow
Every time I see Rosie (which isn't often enough), I feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and like I have a brand new face. She is a calming presence, a wealth of knowledge, and will make you feel beautiful even if you have a paper bag on your head! Highly recommend for regular skincare maintenance or special event makeup - or both!
Pergl's Plants ~ a Passion & a Purge!
Melissa Pergl
Should you find yourself in need of a gift (that keeps on giving!), a lively party favor, naturalistic tabletop decor, or if you're simply a plant lover, Melissa has a HUGE selection of the most beautiful, healthy, and unique plants you can find! Not to mention, she's incredibly knowledgeable about all things plants, and just as helpful when you find yourself with a pesky brown thumb. Check her out on Facebook, at @perglsplants.

For a sophisticated, beautiful, and oh-so-delicious touch to your appetizer table, The Grazing Olive is a MUST!! Artist, and Proprietor, Ashley Joiner puts her heart and soul into creating the most decadent charcuterie boards I've ever seen (and tasted).
