“Stephen and his team were truly one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first phone call, I felt completely at ease and that feeling lasted all the way through the final song of the night. They made the planning process seamless, stress-free, and were incredible with communication the entire time. Upgrading to the photobooth package was hands-down one of the best choices we made — it was an absolute HIT. The dance floor was packed all night, and even though we provided most of the playlist, they added the perfect songs at the perfect moments to keep the energy up. Our guests are still talking about the music and the photobooth! If you’re on the fence — book them. You will not regret it.”

“Meyer’s Castle is such a hidden gem—you’d never expect to find a place like this in the Midwest! I’ve had the chance to shoot two weddings here, and both times were such a dream. The venue itself is stunning and feels like a little escape from the everyday. But what really makes it stand out is the team. The staff is always so kind and helpful, especially Kate—not just with the couples, but with us vendors too, which honestly makes the day run so much smoother. I can’t wait for the next time I get to come back and create more magic within those castle walls. Forever a fan of this place.”

“Kimberly was fantastic for our wedding this past fall. I had several conversations with various Wedding Coordinators and Companies but Kimberly stood out right away. From our first phone call, she asked such specific questions and walked me through the process and gave suggestions on how to keep everything organized. Kimberly was super professional, reliable, attentive and when above and beyond the weeks leading up and the day of our wedding. We did a downtown Chicago wedding and my husband is Assyrian, so between the level of detail and cultural elements, there was a lot that I entrusted Kimberly to help me with.. from the wedding timeline, to seating chart last minute changes, to coordinating with the hotel events manager, the photographers, leading the other vendors and table set requests, Kimberly was there to lead it all and ensure everything looked absolutely stunning for our wedding. 10/10 recommend Kimberly for any wedding or special event.”

“Hannah was absolutely incredible from day one all the way through to the big day!  Exactly two months before our wedding, I hit a wave of panic and realized I truly needed a day-of coordinator. I reached out to Hannah, and she stepped in and saved the day. She responded so quickly, and every interaction after that was just as prompt and professional. Hannah is beyond responsive and always willing to help—no matter the time of day. Any time I had a question or a last-minute change, she was right there, ready to assist. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and if anything went wrong on the wedding day, I still have no idea—because everything was executed flawlessly. She made the entire day flow seamlessly and gave me complete confidence in leaving it all in her hands. I honestly cannot rave about her enough. If you're on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator—do it! And make sure it's Hannah. You’ll be SO glad you did!! Hannah, we are endlessly grateful for you!”

“I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are. We also referred 505 to my cousin that just got married. Love this team!!”

“If you’re even thinking about booking them do it. Immediately. Run, don’t walk. Your future self (and your dance floor) will thank you. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ team for our wedding. The ceremony went perfectly from volume levels, sound cues, and mic levels. Then came the reception where they absolutely crushed it!! The whole day was handled perfectly. Micah was incredible at reading the room and keeping the dance floor full the entire night. Every transition was smooth, every song was a banger, and the momentum never dropped The mixing from start to finish was spot on with no awkward gaps or weird transitions. Since the wedding, we’ve had compliment after compliment from guests saying it was the best dance floor music they’ve ever experienced, which says a lot. We’re attaching some photos, and honestly they speak for themselves. You can see how packed the dance floor was and how much fun everyone was having all night! Overall, just an amazing experience and a huge part of what made the night so memorable. If you’re even thinking about booking them do it. Immediately. Run, don’t walk.

“This was, by far, the best decision I made when planning my wedding. I realized after a certain point that my day of had a lot more to it than I realized behind the scenes (and boy, you have no idea) and decided I could use a day of planner. I had limited decor and thought that day of decor with the planning wasn’t necessary but quickly changed my mind and I am so glad that I did. In planning she was so helpful in organizing communication with the vendors and fought for me to get my vision when she thought it wasn’t being delivered. Day of none of my family nor myself had to spend any time with set up, questions, issues or take-down. There was apparently a huge issue with the the tablecloths not coming in as well as the flowers for my alter flying away in the wind. Gina took care of it all, make-shifting her way to get it all done on time. (Mind you there were problems at my two different location wedding day so they made sure to spread out and cover all the bases.) She made sure we got to have all of our appetizers and kept us on top of everything without any stress for us. The night before she and her partner went to go get signs to help the guests with navigation when she thought there was even a possibility of anyone getting lost/confused. Gina went above and beyond to make my wedding day smooth and easy for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. I truly cannot recommend her enough, and stress how important it is to have a planner. Most people complain about the problems at their wedding and stress, and we dealt with absolutely none of that - and a HUGE part of that is thanks to Gina & Sugar on the Rim Events. We had the wedding of our dreams!”

“Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.”

She had a natural touch for decor that made my wedding visions come true. She was vocal when necessary (I can sometimes be looked over when trying to give instructions - but Jessica did the work for me). I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator because of our tight budget but I was advised more often than not that a DOC is NECESSARY.

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

“The florals Lori designed for our spring wedding were absolutely incredible. We completely trusted her design after discussing colors and ideas for centerpieces and let her do her magic. She was so wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process. My bouquet was stunning with peonies, roses and so many other flowers. Highly recommend Lori and then post wedding finding a floral preservation team to keep the flowers for years to come.”

“Our tour included fascinating stories of the building’s past. The stunning architecture from the early 1900s, including a beautiful ceiling that was imported from Germany. This iconic structure is being lovingly brought back to life with modern elegance while honoring its historic charm. Every detail from the beautiful lighting with dimmers, soaring ceilings, to the intricate hand painted moldings and massive windows. This felt like a perfect blend of old-world grandeur and contemporary design. The vision behind The Reserve is truly inspiring. It’s more than just a venue, it’s a revival of local heritage and a place where unforgettable memories will be made. We could immediately picture our wedding here, surrounded by loved ones in a space that feels both timeless and unique.”
