For my part, Ilya produced a total catastrophe for my graduation photos (I know that's not a wedding, but still), and "catastrophe" is putting it mildly. Then, this past summer, I knew a few people he filmed, and they all complained. So, I decided to pass on him entirely based on both my own experience and what I heard from others. To me, the photos are absolutely vital, and I simply couldn't risk being disappointed all over again.😲
I actually used Elijah for my wedding a few months ago, and he was fantastic. The shots are stunning... truly beautiful. He shot my best friend's wedding too, and it was snowing that day, but her photos turned out even better. So, there you go. My DVD is totally fine. Look, I didn't make things difficult—that's just not who I am—but everything really depends on the vibe at the wedding. You can't produce something "wow" if the party is boring. In my case, it wasn't hard for him at all because he stayed until 5 AM filming. The crowd was so energetic that he managed to catch almost everything.
NASA on Main Street has some seriously great men's suits, and the prices are actually pretty reasonable!
I’m based in Osijek, but honestly, I’ve sourced almost everything from other cities—like getting cookies from Slavonski Brod or hiring a photographer from Đakovo—mostly just to find the right price. Those cookies were incredible, seriously, they came from Sweetie, and the photographer was Ilija Photography from Đakovo. The photos are just wow!!!!

Jane did the makeup for Sekin’s wedding party and she was absolutely incredible. I managed to dig up her number in my phone. I really hope she hasn't changed it because I’m definitely going to need her for my own wedding. I'll DM you the number right now!
That’s just the truth. It honestly makes me sick seeing people who shamelessly prey on others just to make a buck. Look, I have no problem paying for something I want, but you expect actual service—not some fake, forced smile plastered on someone's face. Honestly, I would never recommend Isabelle bridal boutique in Indianapolis to anyone. Their customer service is a total disaster.

Man, it was such a disaster with them. Total nightmare. One girl actually had to pick out an entirely new outfit, which is just awful when you’ve already booked something you love. For everyone else, they just tried to patch up those loose sequins and torn lace...😢What a total letdown!
I’m going with Glasser! I’ve been to several weddings there and honestly, I love it every single time—they really know how to decorate the place. You definitely want to aim for a Saturday; everything looks so polished and perfect then. Regarding the restrooms, my non-negotiables are cleanliness, having enough stalls, and making sure they stay stocked with toilet paper, soap, towels, and a mirror 🙂... and all that other stuff. As for the kitchen, I’ve checked it out and it’s totally fine. Sure, it’s small, but who cares? You aren’t the one doing the cooking anyway—that's what the catering staff is for. The food there is fantastic, and I don't recall a single person complaining about it, which is the most important thing. Plus, the bands actually love playing there because the acoustics are great. That matters too.
Look, at the end of the day, it’s about the budget. I’ve looked everywhere, and Glasser is easily my most affordable option, and for me, that’s what counts. If you have a massive budget for fancy venues, go for it. In that case, you can pick absolutely anything you want!!

I’m looking to branch out since the prices around here are absolutely insane—I honestly have no clue what the standard rate even is anymore. I actually really dig Isabelle over on Republic Avenue; they carry that Sposin collection, so if anyone knows of somewhere else with a similar vibe, please let me know!
I have to say, I was incredibly disappointed with Isabelle. My friends had terrible experiences there too, and their prices are absolutely outrageous. Coincidentally, they all picked out what they thought were the newest gowns—brand new, obviously—but when they went back to pick them up a few months later, the dresses were in pretty rough shape. So... yeah.🤷
We ordered from a bakery out in the Midwest. Sweetie, let me tell you, those cookies are absolutely amazing. They aren't expensive at all, so seriously, just give them a shot!
