  • Serves Prospect Heights, IL

We’re Viktor and Karolina, the team behind Kosto Production. We believe your wedding film should be more than just a recording - it should be a timeless story filled with emotion and meaning. Since 2016, we’ve filmed over 700 weddings and projects, capturing love stories across the U.S. What drives us is not only our cinematic style but also our passion for preserving real, intimate, and joyful moments. With care, creativity, and dedication, we ensure every film reflects the unique journey of the couple in front of the camera.

Viktor is incredible and captured our vision for our wedding video so perfectly. I asked for something that was documentary style yet cinematic and that is exactly what we got. Getting to see everything in motion and hear our guests and cherished loved ones speak gave us a whole new perspective of the day and made us so so happy to see everything come to life. The video style felt so US and it was obvious how much care was put into making it down to every detail. I’ll cherish our wedding video and clips from the day forever. Viktors talent and artistic eye is second to none! Some of our favorite shots from the day are from the video clips he captured. A videographer is a MUST in addition to an incredible photography team. Viktor was so easy to work with and communicate with leading up to the day and after. We consider hiring him one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a videographer who is both incredibly talented and dedicated to making your special day unforgettable.

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!

Grace from SEG was such a pleasure to work with! Crazy to think we only met her twice in person. She was super helpful in communicating with vendors, sending over final floor plans and guest lists, and ensuring our vendors had everything they needed, as well as ensuring our actual wedding day went smoothly. We had absolutely zero snafus and loved how the venue was set up when we got there. She kept the night on track, always asked us what she could get us if she saw us empty-handed, herded the cats (aka our families), and ensured all our personal items got back to us.

BW Studio+Events is a Chicago-based event coordination and planning group serving Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs. The Studio focuses on intimate weddings with unique flair and lots of personal touches. Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Blair was probably the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I both work 9-5 corporate jobs, and we knew that we needed to bring someone onto our “wedding team” that would help keep us on track with all of the milestones during the wedding planning process. From the get-go, over our 15-month planning period, Blair was always transparent about timing and was a master of following up regarding timelines, without ever badgering us or coming across as controlling. She spent over an hour discussing budgets with us and our families early on, to make sure that everything we planned stayed in the budget range that we’d all agreed upon. This was especially helpful during our venue and vendor selection process. She helped us find that blew our socks off, and also found us the most wonderful florist (@thelocalpetaler) who was able to provide us way more bang for our buck than any florist we’d be able to find on our own - a huge advantage. While we had our venue already picked out, Blair was able to recommend a food and beverage package with an available catering company that fell delivered us fantastic food and a premium beverage package that fit our budget. 

Leading up to the wedding, Blair was also a master in helping us coordinate our wedding day planning including family photos, transportation e.g. coordinating our bus between multiple hotels and the venue while making it easy for us to just focus on ourselves. The peace of mind that Blair brought us throughout the planning process, week of, and day of our wedding made having our wedding a cakewalk rather than a headache. Spending the money to hire Blair was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding!

100% would recommend Walden for a stress-free wedding experience!!! We knew Walden was our venue when we read about their full-service wedding packages including planners, kitchen/bar all under one roof. After we toured the venue, we could not wait to have our wedding here. Our main planners were Hannah and Briscel, and we had the pleasure of a 3rd planner, Ally with a last-minute day-of staffing change. Hannah and Briscel took the stress out of wedding planning, keeping us on track with every detail and vendor. Ally made sure the wedding day ran seamlessly. One of the best things we loved about working with the planners was their recommendations for local vendors (floral, DJ, photography etc.). Their assistance contacting and coordinating calls/quotes from vendors was also a huge help. Every possible detail regarding the wedding was accounted for, so we were certain nothing would be missed along the way. Now for the fun part, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and better than we ever dreamt. The coordinators kept us on schedule and sent an itinerary in advance, so everyone knew where to be and what was coming up next. They handled all of the communication with vendors and all the little details, so we could fully be present on our wedding day. We did not have any moments of stress, or panic, and was rarely asked any questions or to do any tasks. The Walden team set everything up for us from the welcome sign to the memorial table and of course the gorgeous reception room. It’s like suddenly we got teleported into our Pinterest vision board! A big shout out to Nick and Matt, the kitchen and bar staff. They were absolutely amazing! The drinks were awesome, the bartenders could make any drink guests wanted including mocktails. The food was incredible, so many guests complimented on how delicious their meals were. We also really appreciated their accommodations for various food restrictions and preferences. Overall, the Walden staff has truly thought of everything. They made the very daunting task of planning a wedding much more manageable, and made the whole day that much more special. Could not think of a better venue in the area for folks planning a wedding!

Yvonne at YJ Decorating was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very responsive and communication was fantastic! She helped me throughout the process of picking out florals and was very supportive when I changed my vision after our initial consultation. I appreciated the fact that she invited me in to her studio to go thru different design options and was very transparent on cost. What I appreciated most was her level of understanding and empathy and took time to learn more about me while I was going thru the planning process. Highly recommend!

Glow Bridal Co. was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day beauty! From our very first interaction, Paola, Joanna, and Tricia were professional, prompt, and truly felt like girls' girls who wanted to make us all look and feel our absolute best. Their communication was top-notch, and they provided helpful suggestions while still listening closely to ensure each bridesmaid, mom, and I got the gorgeous, stunning look we wanted. The team brought such a fun, hype girl energy that was exactly what you want on the wedding day. Their work was honestly a steal - I would recommend Glow Bridal Co. a million times over!

From our first interaction with Olivia at Afterglow Weddings and Events, we were impressed by her timely, respectful, and engaging communication style. Throughout the planning process, Olivia proved to be incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring every aspect of our wedding day was well-executed and thoroughly planned. As procrastinators, my husband and I were grateful for Olivia's reliability in keeping us on track every step of the way. Olivia truly went above and beyond, making our day a dream come true and being there for our families as well. No matter what curve balls were thrown her way, Olivia handled them with grace and expertise.

Toast and Jam DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves Prospect Heights, IL

Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Toast & Jam and DJ Alli Klein were FANTASTIC!! Music was so incredibly important to me for our wedding and Alli understood the assignment and delivered. I had multiple people come up to me during and after our wedding and say that the music was the best they’ve ever heard at any wedding. Not to mention everything went off perfectly without a hitch. If you want a rocking dance floor and to party hard then look no further than toast and jam.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.
