Vendor Rec's Needed

temptluck

We are finally planning the big day and i am trying to pull off a small wedding for 65 ppl on $5,000.  We are getting married April 29, 2012 in the northwest suburbs and have plenty of time, but i need all the help I can get.   I was wondering if anyone has worked withor can refer any of the following vendors:

Astoria Banquets
Jolie Images
George Street Photographers
DJ's
Florists

Please share your experiences with me and any vendor referrals.  Thanks a bunch!

Hi!

I would rec. for floral: Trellis, www.trellisweddings.com and (day of) coordination: Blissful Events, www.blissfuleventsllc.com

They are both really affordable!!!

Good Luck!

look into Kio Kreations for your flowers, she does really amazing things and can work within a budget.

I love my florist, Mary from Flowers by Color -- her website is www.flowersbycolorchicago.com. She is independent and is wonderful! She really took my budget and inspiration photos into consideration and gave me a great price on my flowers and centerpieces.
