I found Hairs 2 Bride at a bridal expo in Schaumburg. They did my hair/makeup and my bridesmaides/ mom’s hair & makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago. Lisa did my hair & makeup and Angel worked on the others. They both arrived early. Lisa did an incredible job with my hair and makeup and capturing the more natural vibe I wanted. She was also super helpful with organizing and giving tips to my bridesmaides to help make the day run more smoothly. They both finished their services on time and stayed really structured. I also really liked my experience working with the owner/administrative team, they were always super responsive & I liked the chart they sent before my wedding that had everyone’s services timed out/planned out.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.

Blair and her team, Elly and Neva, were lifesavers for our wedding! We met her team during an open house for The Brix, the venue where we had our reception.

Blair is easy to talk to and work with, professional, kind, understanding, and extremely organized! She helped us stick to our budget, coordinate with other vendors, and gave us so many recommendations and options for high quality vendors. Blair is extremely responsive! We loved how quickly she was responding to any questions we had and I also really appreciated the nudges on deadlines! We have extremely busy schedules and we travel often, so the frequent reminders and check-ins were crucial. We were grateful that there were scheduled talks intermittently throughout the planning process. It really helped us manage the timeline and logistics.

We got married on January 18, 2020 and let me start out by saying Tom did an AMAZING job capturing our special day! He was punctual and set up in time for the ceremony. (And that was in the middle of a snowy winter day!) During the reception he didn’t miss any moving parts; cocktail hour, the entrances, dances or cake cutting. Whenever there was something happening out on the dance floor that I thought would be a great moment to look back on and hope to have on video, he would already be there, catching the whole thing on camera! He was super friendly and easy going too!

Hi there! I am Emily and I am so excited you found your way here. I have a passion for curating one-of-a-kind weddings that showcase a couple’s individuality. It is important for me to get to know couple’s personally, what makes them excited about their wedding day and how I can alleviate any planning stress (ew, we don’t want stress). Consider me your right-hand gal, your “planner in your pocket”, your sounding board and the gal that will make sure your wedding day is flawless!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily was amazing! We worked with her for planning, starting from about 15 months before the wedding date, as well as day-of coordinating, and she was an incredible help time after time. Whenever we were stuck trying to figure out vendors or even basic things like the color scheme, Emily was able to help us make progress and stayed really kind and patient throughout, even with what were probably fairly dumb questions at least some of the time. (After all, I don't think either of us ever planned a party for more than a dozen people at a time, so it was invaluable to have help from someone so experienced as Emily!) Emily was great at keeping track of timelines and helped focus us on which decisions needed to be made sooner and what we could leave for later. When we decided to add a tea ceremony as part of the wedding, Emily didn't bat an eye and was so helpful with getting those extra details sorted. There can be so many times while planning a wedding where it’s hard to know how to even approach an important decision, including just communicating w/ guests & family and her expertise, advice, and care kept us from getting stuck more times than we can count! Even though you would expect an event planner to be very rigid in saying how things should go, Emily is not robotic at all and we loved how spontaneous and open to brainstorming different options she always was! The night before and morning of the wedding, we were a bit stressed, but once we were at our venue and Emily was back involved, things went incredibly smoothly and we had a day filled with joy and love. One of Emily's assistants, Alaina, was also there to help w/ day-of details and she was also so nice, calm and capable! Emily even stepped in as an emergency emcee for us when our previous plans fell through 2 weeks before the wedding & our guests loved her humor & warmth during the reception too!

She was able to hide my stress acne and I got soooo many compliments and my entire bridal party loved their looks too! Natalie was super relaxed which is just what I needed as the wedding day nerves kicked in. From the moment I sat in the makeup chair I was able to relax.

Jennifer and her team are seriously a dream come true. I could not have imagined better photos that captured our wedding day and all the feelings we had. The wedding went by so fast I almost didn’t remember everything. But then came my stunning photos from Jennifer. She brought me back to that day and I felt like I was reliving the day again.

When the wedding day came, several things went wrong but she helped us keep it together, going way beyond what a photographer should do, like helping get things moving along on time. We had our coordinator drop out last minute but Mariah helped us keep on track for the day, and got incredible photos of us despite the chaos. Everything was perfect, from the candids of friends and family, to more formal wedding party pictures, and we especially loved the small Polaroid snaps she took. She and her team will get you truly stunning pictures. She has an eye for telling your story as it unfolds around you with her photography. She knows which moments should be left unstaged and when to get you posed. Mariah is your chill big sister who knows how to boost your confidence, and you should absolutely choose King & Opal for your photography!

Can't say enough positive things about Rhys, he was very easy to work with and produced the best wedding video I could have ever asked for! I chose him because I love how he layers in audio from the vows/speeches over the video footage - everyone was raving about our video and how they'd never seen anything like it! It was also so special seeing the full length video that he provides so we could relive the full ceremony and all the speeches. I also really appreciated how Rhys went above and beyond to produce a separate video for my father/daughter dance since we surprised everyone with an eight-song medley. Thank you Rhys for capturing the magic of our wedding day!

We chose Crimson Events for our wedding DJ and wow, what an excellent choice that was! Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5 stars!!

Anna looks forward to working with you on your vision!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I wanted to give our guests an experience they don't normally see at weddings nowadays, so choosing Anna to be our Violinist was by far one of the best decisions we could have made! Anna was an absolute dream to work with from day one! She never made me feel rushed when selecting/vetting our Ceremony/Cocktail Hour musician. Instead she was very knowledgeable about what the experience would potentially look like, she was up front regarding the music selection she knows (but of course was willing to learn something new with enough time to practice) and best of all she was extremely organized and I never felt like there were any unknowns for either party. On the day of our wedding, we were just so busy and unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet Anna in person, but Anna's skills were beyond what I imagined! From the Ceremony to the Cocktail Hour, Anna transitioned smoothly between the different styles and atmospheres we wanted for each of the events. Though we sadly didn't get to meet Anna in person, we were of course able to hear the amazing artform Anna has perfected and the Music that was chosen made the day that much more magical and everything we could have imagined and so much more! If you are a couple looking to give your guests a whimsical, artistic and unique experience but you are unsure if you should go for a Violinist, I can say with absolute certainty you will not be disappointed with Anna and the amazing day she will create for your big day!

It was cold but Clayton kept the mood light and fun, giving us prompts and conversation starters that really helped put us at ease in front of the camera. It was such a fun day and after seeing the photos, we knew we needed him for our wedding as well! Clayton and his husband were absolutely amazing on the wedding day, our bridal party had such a great time laughing and joking with them during our getting ready and first look pics! We even had guests coming up and telling us how much fun the photographers were! And the reception shots...I will never be able to narrow them down, they managed to capture just about every guest showing off their best dance floor moves!
