Violet's Videography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves St. Elmo, IL

I am a new Wedding Videographer with new ideas and the passion of capturing you wedding in beautiful ways. I want to give you the best quality for your price and will try my hardest to make that happen.

We had the pleasure of having Violet be our videographer for our wedding and it was the best experience from the very beginning! She wanted to meet to make sure she understood what we were wanting out of the wedding video. She kept in communication with us leading up to the wedding to ensure she had all of the details ready to go for the day! Violet was absolutely incredible on the wedding day from the time she arrived! She was not only catching all of the footage of the day, but also she was checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay and allowing us to fully enjoy the evening. The final video that we received was beyond our expectations! Violet was able to capture and create an amazing video that we are able to re-live our wedding day every time we watch it! Highly Recommend her for any wedding or event!

Rios Mios Events 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves St. Elmo, IL

I love creating a fun, professional, and most importantly unique atmosphere for my clients. Collaborating with people is truly my passion, and when that collaboration entails music, entertainment, and positivity I am at my best! From live music for your ceremony to country or EDM themed receptions. We come together with you to create a wedding that feels like "yours"

Out of the 100 DJs I’ve worked with over the years, Derek is truly in a class of his own. He’s the most professional, detail-oriented, and downright fun “make-you-want-to-dance-all-night” DJ I’ve ever met. He takes the time to really get to know each couple and goes above and beyond to ensure their reception timeline runs seamlessly. Whenever we coordinate an event together, I like to joke that I can just sit back and relax—because I know Derek is on top of everything. What sets him apart is that he doesn’t just stay behind the booth; he’s out on the dance floor doing line dances with your guests, belting out Taylor Swift, and getting the crowd hyped up. I can’t recommend him enough. If you book with Rios Mios, you won’t just get an incredible DJ—you’ll leave your wedding day with a new friend.

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves St. Elmo, IL

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

We ordered the dusty rose small package for my daughter's wedding. The flowers were beautiful. There were plenty of flowers for everything we needed. Alexa was awesome! She reached out right away to offer support and kept in touch all weekend. We would definitely order from Flower Moxie again.

Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

The Bluewater Kings Band provided what truly felt like white glove service to make our wedding dance floor exactly what we wanted. Ryan was extremely responsive over email and our phone call before the wedding allowed us to lay out what we wanted the experience to be. In addition to how easy it was to work with them, their performance was spectacular. They were professional, polished and musically phenomenal. Their set list truly sounded like we had hand-picked every song (we only gave them a list of our favorite types of music and they knocked it out of the park). We leveraged the piano player for our ceremony music and it was beautiful and a nice touch at a reasonable price point as an add-on.

Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie was the absolute kindest, most sincere and down-to-earth photographer I've ever met! She was thorough with all of her questions, and made sure that we were all on the same understanding of how her process worked. During our engagement photos, she made us feel comfortable, and we could be our goofy selves, which made the photos feel so much more real, rather than posed. She is a natural and would make anyone feel beautiful/handsome! Our wedding photos still make me tear up! They are so beautiful, and she and her sister did the most amazing job! I can't believe how amazing she was with giving us time, and making sure that we got all the photos we had wanted and then some. We were so incredibly lucky to have her as our photographer and will be using her again in the future 3
