Wilmington, IL
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,500

At Cylee Catherine Events, we believe in planning and coordinating events so that the hosts are able to enjoy the moments that will one day be their favorite memories to look back on. Throughout the planning process, I do my best to listen to your ideas and help bring forward the vision for your special day that you are trying to achieve with a flawless execution.

if you’re anything like i was and you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take this as your sign. i was very adamant that a wedding planner did not fit into our budget. i had been stalking cylee’s social medias and was so jealous that i couldn’t have her. since im stubborn, i began to attempt to plan the wedding by myself. i remember thinking to myself “how hard could this be?” my question was quickly answered when i had 37 vendors emailing me the next morning. we ended up hiring cylee, thinking she would “just be a wedding planner.” we were quickly proved wrong. cylee has turned into a friend. she has seen me at my best, my worst, and everything inbetween that. the amount of mental breakdowns she talked me through while we attempted to fix my flowers, make my seating chart, guest drama, etc. cylee sat with me for 8 hours…yes you read that right!!! she sat with me for EIGHT HOURS building my arch florals, welcome sign florals, and fixing my bouquets. cylee hand made everything from my save the dates, invites, seating chart, bar signs, everything!!! she even helped my maid of honor with my wedding shower. i have told everyone in my life, and now i’ll tell all of you who are stalking her page and reading her reviews, cylee is the best decision i made throughout the process of getting married (besides my husband, of course). she knew what i wanted before i did, she knew what vendors to say no to, what vendors to show me, and even had special insights and relationships with each vendor. fitting her into our budget actually ended up saving us money due to her expertise in being able to make every dream i had come true. she is a true gift to the wedding industry and to this world. our wedding night was more perfect than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without cylee.

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Wilmington, IL

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Two Birds Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Wilmington, IL

Hi, I’m Jake Moreland—the photographer behind Two Birds Photography. I’m also a proud dad to three awesome boys (who I lovingly refer to as my unpaid interns) and a rescue cat who keeps me company—mostly by getting in the way in the best possible way. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me out hiking, camping, painting, digging through vinyl records, or making something with my hands. I’ve always been drawn to the soulful, timeless feel of black and white photography, and that sense of honesty and simplicity is at the heart of everything I shoot.

Jake is hands a down the best photographer out there. He was absolutely amazing to work with, professional, speedy, and efficient. We had a few inspiration photos but most let him run free with poses and style and we are SO glad we did. It’s honestly hard to pick our favorite pictures out of the gallery because they are all absolutely stunning.

I also specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines! There are no geographic limitations. I’m comfortable working remotely for the planning process and have traveled extensively domestically and abroad. I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together. I network extensively with other vendors & have a passion for collaboration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wherever you are on your checklist, the next thing you MUST do is book Sholeh as your coordinator/planner/life saver/therapist/best decision we made for our wedding. From the start, she had such a calm and positive energy that fit our vibe perfectly. She provided us with a boat load of tools and checklists from the day we signed our contract. Her network of contacts helped us form literally the Wedding Vendor Avengers. One example, our officiant fell ill ONE WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING. Sholeh found our officiant within days who put together the most beautiful ceremony imaginable. Sholeh ran our rehearsal and stood in the doorway at the ceremony to ensure a seamless processional. She was a seamstress, an interior decorator, performed crowd control, you name it. Literally, I couldn't tell you what went wrong at my wedding. If anything happened, she took care of it and still hasn't told me. We are grateful beyond words and cannot recommend her enough. Ali and Rob 9.5.25

I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team.

Absolutely blown away by our experience with Erica as our wedding photographer!

What stood out the most was how incredibly thoughtful and attentive she was. Erica made sure I felt completely comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy task!) and extended that same warmth and ease to every single person in our wedding party. She has a way of making people relax and have fun, which truly shows in the photos. The entire day felt special, not just because it was our wedding, but because Erica helped make it memorable in every way. The moments she captured are more than just beautiful images—they’re full of life, emotion, and joy. If you want someone who truly cares, listens, and brings a calming, positive energy to your big day, Erica is the one. I can’t recommend her enough! Five stars doesn’t feel like quite enough.

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

I’m Kate Timako, a photographer obsessed with capturing people as they truly are—unfiltered, cinematic, and effortlessly beautiful in their own way. My background in media and cinematography taught me to see stories in every glance, every quiet moment, every burst of laughter. Whether it’s an intimate courthouse wedding, a branding session that actually feels like you, or a sun-soaked, nostalgia-drenched portrait, I make sure your photos feel like a memory, not just a pose. I’m driven by a desire to create images that tell stories and evoke a sense of nostalgia, always with an eye for the details that make each moment unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Katerina enough! She shot both my engagement and maternity photos, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She went above and beyond to match my vision, truly taking the time to understand what I wanted. Her preparation for each session was incredible—she even helped me with outfit ideas to ensure everything came together perfectly. What really stands out about Katerina is how much she genuinely cares about her clients and the outcome of each shoot. She made me feel comfortable and at ease, spending quality time with us to capture the best moments. The results were stunning, and I’m so grateful to have such beautiful memories to look back on. If you’re looking for a photographer who is dedicated, creative, and cares deeply about her work, I highly recommend her!

I'm Shane Gustafson, the founder of Timeless Vow Productions and Gustafson Creative, LLC. As a videographer with more than ten years of experience, I know how to capture your special moments and allow you to cherish them forever!

Timeless Vow Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and they had a turn around time of about a week. They were also incredibly open to any changes or adjustments we wanted to make throughout the process after the video footage was edited. The final video they delivered was truly thoughtful, capturing all the special moments of our day with seamless transitions and high quality footage. The short video clip they provided was amazing and we were thrilled with how they were able to highlight all the most meaningful parts of our wedding. We would highly recommend Shane and the Timeless Vow Productions team for any couple's videography needs.

Here at Studio 7 we like to focus on giving clients quality product with an artistic approach. As well I like to provide a satisfying customer experience. I have been doing photography since 2008. I was inspired by senior trip to Paris, France. Later I went to the Institute of Art Chicago in 2010. There is where I learned a variety of styles of photography. Studio 7 is more than a business for me , it's my passion.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, working with Studio 7 has shown me what customer service can be! They went above and beyond to capture every moment of our photoshoot perfectly. Their professionalism, creativity and calming presence made us feel at ease, and it shows in every photo. Their work literally speaks for itself. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking — timeless, vibrant, and full of emotion. He didn’t just take photos; he captured the love we share and our undeniable chemistry. Every detail, from candid moments to stunning portraits, was captured with such care and artistry. If you’re looking for someone who not only will deliver incredible photos but also make your photoshoot feel even more special, look no further. Trint truly exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure these memories forever. 3
