As Avery’s business grew, he brought in his brother Wes and best friend Landon Bell. Together, this talented trio works hard to bring the dreams of soon-to-be newlyweds to life. In addition to fueling the dance-floor and and crafting ambiance through music, the DJs also serve as MCs with natural ease and charisma. They ensure that introductions, announcements, and transitions run smoothly.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

She crafted our ceremony with so much passion, care, and heart. Every word felt intentional, personal, and true to who we are as a couple. Erica really took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every detail. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how meaningful and beautifully delivered the ceremony was. Not only is she a gifted writer and speaker, but she’s also wonderfully organized and professional. Even when we threw her a few last-minute requests, she adapted with ease and grace, keeping everything smooth and stress-free. Erica, thank you for setting the tone for our day in such a beautiful way. You brought the energy, love, and authenticity we hoped for and more — we’re so grateful you were part of our wedding.

Hello! My name is Mallory, and I’m excited to help you plan a stress-free, dream wedding. I have a passion for simplistic and elegant wedding styling but am equally thrilled to help bring any vision you have to life. My background includes working as a bridal consultant, where I helped brides find their perfect wedding day outfits. My wife and I live in the Grand Rapids area with our two beautiful Golden-Aussies.

Mallory is truly an essential part of any wedding dream team. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she carries herself with a calm, collected professionalism throughout every stage of the day. When last-minute timeline changes came up, she handled them with grace and efficiency, helping everything run smoothly without a hitch.

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Portland, MI

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.

She's incredible. Thanks Kristen for being awesome and making our day great.

We are a videography and production company based in West Michigan, and we're not in business of filmmaking because we have to be, we're in it because we want to be. Each member of our team has a passion for film and wants to bring their unique art to your story. Based out of Grand Rapids and operating since 2009, our team focuses on capturing candid moments and a small number of formal shots in order to create a truly beautiful and cinematic film of your day. We will approach your wedding day with fair pricing and an unwavering commitment to capturing every important moment that you can cherish for years to come.

When looking into vendors for our wedding, we debated a videographer because of the cost; when we came across Unnammed Films, it was a no brainer. We were so impressed at the different services that they had to offer. The quality of work, the professionalism and communication, and they way they tell the story of your wedding day through video is a MUST HAVE. Our wedding went from a large guest list in Traverse City, MI to a small town backyard wedding in Saint Charles, MI because of COVID-19, and Unnammed Films was the first of our vendors to reach out and make accommodations for live video feed if that was something that we wanted for our guest who might not be able to make it. The flexibility was incredible. They captured the essence of our big day in the big and little moments. Things that we might have missed in the busyness of the day, we were able to look back on through this video. We are so happy with our decision to have Unnamed Films capture our day, we would choose them again and again for all of our videographer needs.

Grand Rapids, MI

The Cheney Place is a warehouse for those who can't wait to design their "urban meets vintage meets modern" wedding. We hope our building will woo you with its polished concrete and original hardwood floors, its frosted warehouse windows, and it's turn of the century freight elevator. The open format and crazy flexible space screams of possibility. And we just happen to host the area's largest collection of vintage furniture rentals onsite to make design a whole lot easier. We love old buildings. And we love great design. But what we really love is pulling it all together to help you create an amazing day!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Allows pets
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • On-site parking not available
  • Not wheelchair accessible
The Cheney Place is absolutely AMAZING. We had our wedding there on August 16, 2025 and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. It was such a relief to walk into the venue in the afternoon and see that our vision had completely come to life. Since we are not based in Grand Rapids, we initially worried some of the coordinating may be a bit difficult. But The Cheney Place team was so incredibly kind and accommodating from the time we picked the venue. We'd like to especially highlight Meg, who served as our day of contact and was absolutely amazing. To the entire TCP team - you guys made our day so special and we cannot recommend working with Cheney Place enough.

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just the real moments of your wedding day.

Chad and his wife were very personable and very dedicated to making our wedding day very special. They were both always willing to answer any questions, requests and concerns we had. The video created by Chad was awesome and beautiful. From day one, Chad was very professional and easy to communicate with. His creativity was top notch. Wedding days can be very hectic and stressful. However, Chad helped to create a calm environment by granting the requests we had in mind with the little time we had allotted. All of this, while advising us how things would look better for our wedding video. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time. His experience shows! We would recommend Chad for any functions requiring professional videography without hesitation. Thank you again from O'Neill and Monica.

Experience matters. As wedding and event planners in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we are a highly educated and a creative team with diverse educations and backgrounds. Since 2005 our team has coordinated well over seven hundred weddings. We come seasoned and ready to take on any challenge.

Keeping up with the latest design trends, cuisine and entertainment options, we will take your event and elevate it to the next level by impressing your guests and taking the heavy lifting off you so you can enjoy your wedding with friends and family!

Applause to you if you are a DIY person who wants such a wedding. In our family, however, we run high in terms of anxiousness, and when our bride and groom were states away leading up to the wedding day, we needed a different approach. Choosing RSVP Events was exactly what we needed! Adrien Harding of RSVP Events fulfilled all our asks and then thought of things we could not think of ourselves. She curated a list of fantastic vendors to meet our wishes and constraints (aka, our budget). She brought a wealth of nuanced advice for the “tricky-ness” which, we all know, is associated with wedding events. We were so well cared for throughout our wedding planning journey, we could be fully present with each other, especially on the wedding day. You may think a wedding planner is a superfluous cost, but we think it allowed us to not only pull off a big event, but delight in it as well. We have not stopped smiling as we think back to all we were able to enjoy because we hired RSVP Events!

I worked with Jasmine in October of 2019 for my wedding and I've never felt as beautiful before or since I did on my wedding day. Jasmine gave me exactly what I asked for and didn't try to talk me into any colors or products I wasn't comfortable with. She accentuated my natural features to give me a neutral, but enhanced look so I didn't wash out in photos. She told me what lipstick she was using during my trial so I was able to purchase the same brand/shade for touch ups once she was done with my group on the day of which was helpful and one less thing to wish we had on hand. Both mine and my husband's moms are not full face make up wearers and she made them look beautiful but they still felt like themselves and were very comfortable in the looks she gave them. She was flexible with scheduling (as were we, which I think it important for any bridal group when working with vendors) and made sure everyone was taken care of and happy with her services before she left us for the day. I honestly don't have enough good things to say about her or her work. Jasmine is a down to earth, relatable, talent and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

West MI Event Planner & Wedding Coordinator Ready to make your day beautiful 🥂 With years of experience, I specialize in creating unforgettable events. From weddings to corporate events, let my reviews speak for themselves!

Breasia stepped in about a month before our wedding after our initial coordinator was not able to work with us. Breasia did an excellent job catching up and staying organized with our large wedding (220 guests, 20 person bridal party). She was fantastic from first communication until after our wedding! Everything was executed as planned on her part!

Hello! What I love about working at weddings is the unique experiences you have with each event. I enjoy tailoring songs and music to the couple's request and creating beautiful background music for their events. I value professionalism, adaptability, and an energetic spirit.

From the moment we booked WilliamVZ Music, we knew we were in good hands. We were so impressed with William and his professionalism, attentiveness, and quick responses throughout the planning process. He is an incredibly talented musician who exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day feel truly special. At the last minute, we noticed we had the wrong microphone extension, but William went above and beyond by letting us use their own speaker to ensure everything ran smoothly. The soundtrack they curated for our morning wedding ceremony and lunch reception felt so intentional and effortless - and is forever engraved in our hearts. William is absolutely the best, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible service they provided.

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities. Capturing the sweetest day and to gift that is unmatched.
