I was SO nervous about our wedding video.....mainly because I had no idea how it was going to turn…read moreout, and if it would turn out the way that I had described my visions of what I wanted it to look like to the videographer. Well this is definitely one of those times where I was more than pleasantly surprised, I was ecstatic about the way it had turned out! They really took their time to ensure that the feel and the movement of the video matched the types of songs and preserved the "feel" of our wedding day. If I could only have either a photographer or a videographer, without a doubt I would pick the videographer. Everyone has complimented us so much because of our wedding video, and looking back I would have regretted it if we had not opted to have a videographer record it. The people there are friendly and professional. I didn't run into any issues with them at all when asking all the questions i had asked, followed by even more questions..... Some people may say, "Oh just have a friend record it......" My advise would be Absolutely Do Not have a friend record it! It was worth every penny, even more than our wedding photographers (although he is good, one photographer is not enough) We may not even need a wedding album now, because we have such an amazing wedding video! All thanks to Mike and Keith J. at Poetic Productions!

If you are considering whether or not to hire a videographer for your wedding, the decision is…read moreeasy... I would wholeheartedly recommend (1) having a videographer, and (2) hiring Keith from Poetic Productions. There are certain things that photography just can capture--the emotion in my father's voice during his toast, my husband rubbing my hands as we're saying our vows, and the raw emotion when reading the card that my husband wrote me before we headed to the church. In researching videographers, I came across really cheesy/poorly done work (but cheap) and high-tech/movie-quality/EXPENSIVE options. Keith strikes the right balance in that his work is very professional, artistic and emotional, while also being very affordable. If you can afford it, I would recommend getting a second shooter for at least part of your wedding--the second shooter can capture the bride walking down the aisle AND the groom's reaction, the best man giving his speech AND the bride and groom's reactions, etc. My husband and I could not have been happier with our wedding video from Keith--check it out here if you're interested: http://poeticweddings.com/events/allison-and-matthew.html. Pretty great, in my unbiased opinion! :) In short, I'd HIGHLY recommend Keith from Poetic Productions. The video was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny!

Last weekend I hosted a tennis themed bar mitzvah for my son. No bar mitzvah is complete without…read moreswag - sweatshirt, flannels, etc. We also had an entire pro shop filled with fun swag from Custom Specialty Promotions (and a few things from other vendors as well). We priced out all the items and Diane had the most competitive pricing for the majority of them. I try to get things done super early so I'm not scrambling at the last minute. We started chatting with Diane many months before the event, but didn't actually place the order until about 5 weeks beforehand. While this usually seems to be enough time it did feel very rushed for a few days making decisions on designing each item, but appreciated that Diane worked fast to get in done. Everything got to Chicago in time for the party with the exception of sports fingers for the dance floor that got held up in customs in Canada. If i use Diane again, which is likely, I plan to get all the orders in 8 weeks of time to give us a bit more breathing room. Everything came out super cute - favorites being the sweatshirts (don't think my son has taken his off all week), sports sandals (the women really appreciated them halfway thru the night when their feet started to hurt and it kept all of us dancing), flannels (always the most popular item). Diane also did a great job of sharing her thoughts on which of our logos would look best on each item...and the finished productions were adorable. I appreciated how communicative she was with both me and our event planner thru the process. We spent a small fortunate on swag, which we paid for once everything was all in, but it really did look super cute in the pro shop. I've seen a few kids wearing hats, sweatshirts and more around town which also puts a smile on my face.

This space is really amazing and really large. I have attended a few events here and really…read moreappreciate the space. You can do anything here from hosting a mini trade show to shooting a production. The ceilings are very tall here. There are also some smaller studios too. I saw a complete studio set up with a kitchen...bring on that cooking show!!! This location also has a couple of editing rooms and a sound studio too. So if you need to shoot, edit and produce a production, then this place has everything for you. There is also a great view of the city skyline from the top floor. There is plenty of street parking but I highly recommend that you watch your back and make sure that you do not leave any valuables in your car in plain view, unless you like broken windows. The area is very industrial and in the evening can be a little secluded. It is always better to be safe then sorry.

The acoustics, projection, lighting options, etc is fantastic. I would recommend anyone give this place a try if someone is hosting a special event. Similar to what someone else said - it is in an industrial district and feels sketch when leaving later in the evening. Find a friend or walk briskly to get to your car!

I cannot tell you how many compliments I receive on my website for Hanna Lee Style. A bit hesitant to be on film, I was guided with patience, kindness and many laughs.

Honestly, it could not have been a better experience for me and resulted ultimately in higher sales of business. More often than not, clients say they hire me because of my professional website and video. It just makes a difference!
