  • Serves River Forest, IL

Named one of the nation’s top psychics, Eve of Elite Tarot entertains your guests with unique, fun, and above all, professional and positive tarot card readings. Eve's readings are positive, optimistic, and empowering. Rather than fortune telling, readings focus on using energy effectively for optimal success and happiness.

My couple had a unique backstory on how they met and the impact that tarot had on their relationship so I knew we must incorporate a tarot card reader into their wedding festivities. I found Elite Tarot and after speaking to Eve knew she was the one! Communication was prompt and informative and most importantly she was very knowledgable in how her services best fit an event setting. Guests loved it, the couple loved it, and I was so thrilled at her services from start to finish.

Festa is an AI event coordinator that transforms how modern events are run — starting with weddings. Instead of juggling group chats, spreadsheets, and endless back-and-forth, Festa manages RSVPs, guest questions, and real-time updates directly through text.

I’ll be honest: when my fiancé suggested using an AI texting assistant for our wedding, I rolled my eyes. I pictured something clunky or robotic. But Festa turned out to be a genuinely helpful tool. Guests could text questions and get instant, accurate answers — no one had to call us or bug our planner about shuttle times or dress code. When we ran into a small issue setting it up, the founders responded quickly and kindly (yes, real humans!). They’re clearly trying to build something thoughtful, not just flashy tech for tech’s sake. Would use it again in a heartbeat.

  • Starts at $250

Maya Moves was created for the couples who don't want to look like they've taken months of classes, but also don't want to just sway in place the entire time. The 1 hour lesson starts by reviewing details about your wedding. The recommended length for the dance is short, 1:30-2m. Then, you will learn how to stand comfortably together & 3-4 signature moves (typically a dip, and other moves that fit the vibe of your song). You won't learn traditional moves, like the box step or the waltz, but rather easy moves that beginner dancers can look good doing. Maya Moves offers private wedding lessons, both in NYC and over Zoom.

Maya Moves provided incredible communication and amazing, high-quality dance instruction for our wedding. Maya made sure we nailed down specific moves so that we were able to ace our wedding dance. She made our dance so easy to learn without making us overwhelmed - one lesson was all we needed! Maya's great dance skills and patient teaching style made our first dance a huge hit with our guests. We couldn't have been happier with the service and value provided by Maya Moves.

Once Upon a Blossom creates luxury artificial flower walls and arches designed for weddings, events, and unforgettable moments. Each piece is handcrafted with premium silk blooms, built for effortless setup, and made to last. Based in New York and shipped across the U.S., Canada, and U.K.

I run a photobooth business in New York and I’ve gone through a lot of backdrops over the years. Some are fine, most just didn’t look that vivid or high quality. This flower wall totally exceeded my expectations. I got the white one and used it at a wedding recently. my guests loved it! People kept lining up to take pics in front of it, and honestly, it looked great in every single shot. Super full, no weird plasticky shine like a lot of the cheaper ones out there. Setup was quick too, which I really appreciated. You can tell the quality’s there. Definitely planning to use it again and order a new color for future events.
