ABOUT BILL McNEELY I have been working in media for 35years. I developed my skills by volunteering in our ministry's media department as a videographer and photographer. I soon developed a love for media and went on to serve for 10 years as our church's network media director. Some of my personal favorite events to cover are weddings, but I love any chance to help create memories. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you!

I had a wonderful experience with Flash Media Groups’ photography services. The entire process was professional, smooth, and handled with great attention to detail. Communication was clear, timelines were honored, and the final product truly reflected quality work. The touch-ups were especially impressive—very natural, polished, and flattering without looking over-edited. It’s clear that care is taken to make sure clients still look like themselves, just enhanced in the best possible way. William McNeely clearly cares about his customers and their satisfaction. That level of customer care shows in how attentive, patient, and accommodating the service feels from start to finish. You can tell there is pride in the work and a genuine desire to make sure clients walk away happy. Overall, I highly recommend Flash Media Groups for anyone looking for professional photography with high-quality editing and excellent customer service.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Dance floor not included
  • No dedicated areas for getting ready
My partner and I just got married at Illinois Beach Hotel and I could not be happier. Kellie who runs the events was very kind and accommodating. Especially in the month leading up to the wedding, communication was clear, quick and consistent. The price could not be beat. We actually added a welcome dinner and farewell brunch because it was more affordable than comparable venues we viewed. It was wonderful for our guests because they could stay right there at the hotel and also enjoy time on the beach. All staff we encountered were kind, helpful and professional. Kellie helped organize the vendors and helped us get everything set up. In addition, the reception space in the ballroom has a beautiful view of the lake. The food for all three of our events was delicious. Our suite was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this venue if you want a beautiful beach wedding at an affordable price that is convenient for out of town guests.

We are beyond grateful to our incredible wedding planner for helping bring our Garden Summer Wedding to life on June 14, 2025. From start to finish, the planning process was smooth, collaborative, and truly enjoyable. Every detail reflected our personalities and vision—from the romantic florals of eucalyptus, hydrangeas, and roses with soft touches of purple, to the perfectly arranged tent and décor that made our backyard feel magical. Our planner worked seamlessly with us and our vendors to make the day unforgettable. From accommodating fun and unexpected elements like a white bounce house castle and a vintage plum crazy 1970 Dodge Challenger, to helping coordinate Andrew and his son’s surprise dirt bike entrance—nothing was ever too big or too small. Their professionalism and calm presence allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Thank you for turning our ideas into something even more beautiful than we imagined. You gave us a day full of joy, laughter, and cherished memories—we couldn’t have done it without you! With heartfelt thanks, Yulia & Andrew

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.

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience working with Jeremy! He is so considerate, professional, and easy to talk to. He is incredibly creative and motivated to make our dreams come to life. He was even willing to hike in a forest with us on a hot, buggy evening to capture the most beautiful photos we've ever seen that will forever remind us of our special day. 10/10, no complaints - he is simply the best!

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals.

  • Serves Zion, IL

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Lovin Oven Cakery was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive and organized in their communication, making selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. The final product was a true work of art—a stunning four-tiered, multi-flavored masterpiece that was easy on the eyes and yummy for our tummies! Their creativity and attention to detail truly shone through, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the cake tasted. All of this coupled with a complimentary recreation of the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary makes Lovin Oven THE BEST.

When another makeup artist had to leave unexpectedly, Stephani stepped up and expertly did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mothers, and myself - all while staying calm and on schedule. The end result was stunning, and I was so grateful for Stephani's attention to detail in bringing my bridal glam look to life. I highly recommend Bridal Beauty By Stephani for any couple's special day.

I just had my wedding here this past weekend. There are no words to describe the experience we had with Terry and Robin. They are kind, attentive and responsive. They will do anything they can to make sure your day goes as planned. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and comfortably accommodates a large number of guests. The catering choices are fairly priced and the food is delicious. I would not think twice about booking your event here!

The District was an outstanding wedding venue for our special day. From the very beginning, they were extremely communicative and responsive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The quality of their tables, chairs, and other rentals was top-notch, and their friendly staff and bartenders provided excellent service throughout the event. The District created the perfect outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour space, as well as a beautiful indoor reception area for dinner and dancing. Our guests were blown away by the stunning space, and many commented on how beautiful everything looked. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding.
