Sarah helped us through every aspect of our wedding ceremony and reception at the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club. I emailed her about once a week, and more towards the wedding date, and she always answered my questions promptly and politely. She was very well organized and was not only the catering consultant as her title says, but was also our entire wedding coordinator, which people usually pay $500-1000 for on the day of their wedding. Sarah even helped put our homemade centerpieces together. She really made our wedding a great day! The food at OBBT was great, and the prices were very reasonable for the Chicago area. Our guests loved the cake from their partner vendor, and they thought the setting was beautiful with the pond in the background of the ceremony. The reception hall is very unique because it has vaulted timber ceilings, which is something you don't find in many wedding venues. I would highly recommend the OBBT for your wedding.

Peter was very professional and helped us create some very unique photos. He sent us a slide show of highlights a week after our wedding, which was a great surprise. Peter even had an intern who shot photos for free, which we received as well. He gives all of the photos on a DVD, which means that you are able to create wedding albums online, which are much more reasonable than the ones you buy through a studio. Peter was friendly, funny, and helped us capture all of the memories we wanted. I would highly recommend him.

Grace, owner of Vale of Enna, was very accommodating. She bought flowers at a wholesale price for us to make half of our centerpieces ourselves, and even through in a few extra in case we broke some. On the day of our wedding, we saw her at the venue, and she stayed to help me tie a bride and groom cake topper to my bouquet. The centerpieces she made us were extremely unique and beautiful. She used Gerbera Daisies to make my bouquet, which are very difficult to work with, but it looked like she created it with ease. I would highly recommend Grace and the Vale of Enna for your wedding florists. She helped make my wedding vision come true.

String Muse played for our ceremony and they were a great value! They were very professional, well, dressed, and even though only a duo, everyone could hear the music. They were responsive to our requests. I would highly recommend String Muse.

We bought my engagement ring from Fey and Co. after we discovered that their diamonds were a good value. I went back to Fey with a picture of the designer wedding band I wanted, and they created it in palladium for me, to match my engagement ring, and after I wanted two sets of changes made to it, they accommodated my wishes. I would highly recommend Fey for the quality of their jewelry and the professionalism of their staff.
