Looking for a bakery, preferably in Lincoln park/Lakeview area so it’s close by for pickup. Our venue serves tiramisu for guests, so we only need a small round cake for the cake cutting photos! I just want something simple with the “vintage” style piping that it trendy right now. Realistically it only needs to be 6-8 inches. Any good recs? Not wanting to spend a lot since we’re mainly doing it for the photo opp. Honestly not opposed to Whole Foods/jewel but also want to be sure we trust the decorator to do it well so open to a bakery as well!

We are currently trying to book a trolley for our wedding day that will pick us up at our Airbnb (wrigleyville), drive us to our photo location (Lincoln park boardwalk area) and then to our venue (Salvatore’s). Likely only need 3-4 hours to cover everything. I’m starting to get quotes but just wanted to see if anyone has recs or can give me a ballpark of what I should expect to pay. We were hoping to stay under $1500 but don’t know if that’s realistic! Editing to add our wedding is on a Sunday in October!

Already hired a dj for our wedding reception and keep seeing the super fun videos of sax players playing along to the dj set! Our dj company does offer this as an add on but wanted to see if anyone has been to a wedding with one (or your own) and if it was worth it!! Already having piano/violinist for ceremony only and the dj is bringing lights and a disco ball. Wasn’t really planning on doing any props as of now. Small wedding of 50 people. Worth it or not??!
