We work often designing custom websites for business owners in the wedding industry. We thought we’d share some of our favorite and most popular wedding industry website designs we’ve done since the last wedding season. We’ve got almost all corners of a wedding covered with an event planner; the entertainment, lighting and decor; the flowers; the makeup; and of course the photography. (We would love to add bridal gown designer to this list!)
MDM Entertainment
This Chicago based wedding DJ, lighting, and decor companies mission is to tailor their event services to their clients’ wants and needs. They strive to bring wedding visions to life and that’s exactly what we had in mind when we designed their WordPress wedding theme. The website design is classic and elegant to match their updated company branding and not be geared toward one style. This website showcases:
- beautiful photography for their wedding and event services
- photo galleries showing off their favorite events and the great work they do
- an up-to-date blog full of resources for couples to gather inspiration for their own wedding day.
- an easy to use contact forms to schedule a wedding or event consultation
- a scheduling calendar to check availability of the company prior to scheduling a consultation
Contemporary Wedding Design Style
Prior to meeting MDM they had updated their logo. We based their entire WordPress wedding industry website design around their new logo using a timeless navy blue and gold color scheme, contemporary font style, and celebration champagne bubbles throughout. We were once told that this website’s design reminded them of the fancy gift packaging you get from an up-scale specialty boutique store!:)
WordPress wedding industry website design front-end features
- Exceptional SEO
This website has been designed with strong search engine placement in mind. A google search for Chicago event lighting will show MDM in the first position out of 21.3 million search results. - Photos
Exceptional photography makes a website in the wedding industry stand out and we think that’s the case with MDM’s wedding and event company. We wanted to make sure their potential client’s saw their work with the use of a large image slider on the homepage as well as imagery throughout to guide the viewer around the site. We also integrated photo galleries that can be viewed with a slideshow pop-up (lightbox) style. - Content and lots of it
MDM Entertainment knows the wedding and event industry and it shows. Their WordPress wedding industry website design is packed with content about how their company can work with couples for their dream wedding day. - Availability Checker
Client’s can see if the company is available to entertain for a wedding day or other event. - Newsletter
Stay connected through the company newsletter and get up-to-date content about events they’re involved in. - Raves & Reviews
People love to talk about weddings and people love to read about weddings! Website visitors can read all about people raving about the company’s wedding and event services.
Website Features for the Client
Mdmentertainment.com is built using the Genesis Framework on the ever-popular content management system (CMS) WordPress. This allows the client full capability to update and add to the content on their site with each new wedding or event while staying current with web standards and online optimization.
What MDM said about their final website and our services:
We had very high standards when looking for a web designer to redo our website and 3200 Creative exceeded all of our expectations. We wanted a company that was able to design on the StudioPress Genesis platform and that could provide not only a functional website but a beautifully designed one as well, 3200 Creative did just that. Ryan and Cathi were easy to work with, were very responsive, incorporated all of our requests and did an amazing job on the design. On top of all that, the work was done in a timely manner at a reasonable price. What more you you ask for! We were so happy with their work we had them design another website for another one of our companies as soon as they finished with the first project. We couldn’t be happier with their work.

Raves from Lisa Reinhardt about her custom wedding makeup and hair website
I am so glad that I found Cathi at 3200 Creative! Not only did she design an amazing logo for my business but she has now out done herself on my recent website! I was a little hesitant to get a new site because I did not really want to invest the extra money (honestly) but I am so glad that I did! I really feel that my new site is more my style and I have already gotten so many compliments on how user friendly it is, how fast it loads on phones and very click-able! Cathi is extremely professional and personable. She is also very reliable and does everything in a timely manner, which I really appreciate as a business owner. I will never use another another person for my website or logo needs. I can not say enough about their service! If you are looking for a new website person….go with 3200 Creative!!!! Thank you!

She provides a variety of services to her clients for their hometown or destination weddings. Tracey is a true romantic with a wealth of knowledge in the wedding industry.

Tracey’s motto “Stylist Events for Modern Romance” inspired the wedding website theme design of traceymevents.ca. She wanted her website design to be classy, fun, and elegant while keeping it clean and well organized to let the featured events and blog do the talking. We created her type-based logo design as well as custom vector navigational icons.

Photo Booth Express
Owned and operated by Mike Dodson of MDM Entertainment, Photo Booth Express is a photo booth rental company used for weddings, corporate events, and other parties that need to be archived on a film strip. The Chicago based company is one of the most used photo booth company in the area because of their great customer service, reliability, and featured-packed photo booths. Photo Booth Express allows party goers to “Capture the Moment, so you can take home the memory.”
Custom Photo Booth Rental Website Design
photoboothexpress.com’s website design is one of our favorites! The clean, art-deco style design makes visiting their website fun to look at and shows off the variety of memories that can be captured from guests using the photo booth. The website development is exactly the same as the MDM site with a custom wedding styled child theme design on top. This significantly cut down on the budget needed for the two sites.
Website Features
- Photos, Content, Testimonials
Seems obvious that photos would be the most important feature on a photo booth rental website and it’s true. People want to see what a company can produce but even more important is getting found online. Since photoboothexpress.com was built using the Genesis Framework for WordPress it already has a better chance coming up in search engines and the addition of well written, informative content has proven SEO results. Try doing a Google search for a Chicago photobooth and you’ll find them right at the top!

Her words were “organic, fresh, and modern” and we created the perfect mix of those to come up with a unique and custom website design that showcases her beautiful floral work just right. Using the popular damask pattern in the background with a mix of pencil drawn lines along with a soft yellow, gray and white color pallet, the style of her website design is sure to attract brides-to-be.

Rave from MHD on her custom floral website
Ryan and Cathi at 3200 Creative were fabulous to work with, offering not only creative and knowledgeable web design services, but also all of the follow-up needed to help me optimize my website in an affordable way. I love that they were able to set me up with all of the software and tools needed to take the website into my own hands after the initial design so that I can easily upload pictures, content, blog posts, and more. I can’t wait to see the results from all of their hard work. I was clueless, and feel so fortunate that Cathi approached me about their services. Thanks Ryan and Cathi for your most professional and expert designs and training.
