I love planning - like seriously, love it! I started seeing how friends and family were so stressed out about their weddings and wanted so badly to help. Who likes seeing the people they care about struggling and stressed out? After the first few times helping with their big days, I knew this was my passion. I truly enjoy giving people the ability to enjoy their day. I love spending time with my husband attending sporting events, playing softball, camping, and loving our fur children. I absolutely LOVE traveling, especially to DISNEY! Event planning makes me happy and I am passionate about bringing joy to your big day!

Leading up to the big day I had several great meeting with Ackin Events to help prepare me and make sure we were on the same page. It really took a lot of weight off my shoulders knowing I could work with a professional on timeline, decor and so much more! The day-of ran smoothly and was GORGEOUS thanks to Sammy and her team. They put in so much work to make sure every detail was perfect. I know that Sammy truly cared about me as a person and wanted to ensure the best day for my partner and I!

Professional third wheel, people lover, incredibly loud singer, and consumer of too much popcorn and candy, in that combo. I'll sing & dance to just about any song, have approximately 12 shades of lipstick in my purse at a time, and take pride in drinking over a gallon of water a day… lol #hydrated. I’m obsessed with dogs and love booping their noses. Very blessed to have been running this business since I was 14 years old, and eagerly got my videographer husband, Scott on board once we got married in May 2018. Since then we've added 7 amazing associates to our team and are proud to serve clients well no matter what their day looks like.

Kiley is the BEST! The only photographer my husband and I will hire. Photography was a top priority for me on our wedding day and I knew I needed someone who was going to capture everything I wanted. You only get your wedding day once! I’m so happy we went with her, I can’t stop looking at the pictures! We added videography to our wedding and am so glad we did. They made us feel so confident and comfortable the entire time! I can’t wait to see what else she photographs for us over the years. Thanks again, Kiley!!

Glow with Dej 

5.0

Apple Valley, MN
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $400

Hello, my name is Dejanira and I am a Twin Cities makeup artist. Something that separates me from the rest is that my style is very natural and radiant. When people think of natural they think light coverage but that is not the case. I provide the coverage you want but the finished look will not appear to be layers upon layers. What you and others will see is healthy glowing look, it will feel as if you are barely wearing anything at all. My goal is to have you look in the mirror and notice that it still looks like you but with a little extra glam.

I have to say if you want natural looks and beautiful hair to match, this place is the best all in one. My skin never looked better and it was everything I could have ever wanted. I highly recommend them for whatever you may need, especially for your wedding.

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re debating hiring a coordinator, just do it and make sure its Sydney. Where to start! Sydney was (and is) absolutely incredible. I cannot imagine what our day would have been without her. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Sydney to review the details of the day, what we were envisioning for the look and feel of our day, she helped develop our timeline (her timeline tool is AMAZING), and she brought up questions/thoughts on things that we hadn’t thought of or things that she suggests we do to help the day run better and the experience be more enjoyable for guests. The number of guest/family members, or even outside vendors at our wedding that took notice of all she did to make the day perfect, was mind boggling. Not only did she attend our rehearsal the day prior, she completely stepped up and helped our church with coordinating the rehearsal as well. This greatly improved the smoothness of the ceremony for not only the Bride and Groom, but for the church and the entire wedding party! Multiple vendors made it a point to compliment Sydney to me. With Sydney in charge there was no doubt in my mind that everything would go how it was supposed to, and that it did! We had the best wedding day we could have imagined. The reception space was setup perfectly, she took care of all the communication with the staff at our venue and outside vendors, and she did this all with a small on her face and in a calm manner. If she was stressed or worried about something, I never would’ve known. Everything was setup perfectly, she took special care for not only the bride and groom, but the entire wedding party and families. The day went just as we dreamed, all thanks to Sydney. Sydney is the absolute best. I would hire her over and over again. The BEST decision we made was to hire Sydney – I will forever be thankful for all that Sydney did for us leading up to our wedding and the day of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the Gardens of Castle Rock for our venue was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process; Kris and Heidi were very communicative and accommodating to requests and questions throughout the whole process; from our first tour to the wedding day itself. We had really been looking for a location that merged my style and my husband's and the variety of ceremony locations and natural picturesque locations was a major plus. we also wanted flexibility in who we brought in for the rest of our vendors - not only were we not restricted in our choice in caterer/florists/decor etc but the Gardens also provided a list of tried and tested vendors that knew the location. We felt fully supported during our vendor journey without feeling pressured to pick from a restricted list. We did end up using many vendors from the recommended list because they matched our style and our price point. While we did have a full-service planner to help us during our planning process I would still highly recommend the Gardens to anyone whos planning their wedding on their own. I was also the first wedding they hosted for 2023; during the 2022 winter storm the lathe house had decided it needed a break a took a tumble - the team alerted us right away as we wanted that for our ceremony and in no time they had the lathe house fixed and ready for us to use on our day. They also helped us navigate and plan for potential rain, which thankfully we didn't have to use, but it was such a comfort to know that rain or shine my wedding was going to go off without a hitch. I can't thank the Gardens of Castle Rock enough for ensuring my perfect day and I wholeheartedly recommend them! As a bonus, we had a few opportunities to speak with the owner, Glenn, and we'll be purchasing a wood slab my Husband will turn into a coffee table so we can commemorate the day - that way we'll always have a little piece of the Garden's with us.

We got married May of 2019 and made the best decision we possibly could have and chose Kasey and Tyler to photograph our day. They were more than just our wedding photographer. Kasey helped with planning our timeline and making sure the day ran smoothly. It truly felt like I had an extra friend there. On top of how amazing they are as people, they are even better photographers! They really listened to my requests and went above and beyond what was asked of them. I am so glad we have such beautiful pictures to look back on from our big day.

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families). Studio Delphianblue was founded in 2013 and is a fully woman-owned company based out of Burnsville MN. We DO travel outside of the Twin Cities metro area! I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

Danielle did a wonderful job on our wedding pictures. She was a delight to work with. I referred her to friends who also had a great experience when she photographed their wedding.

Hailey was truly amazing to work with. I was fortunate enough to work with her on our floral arrangements and she handled all the day of coordination as well. From the minute I met Hailey I knew I would be able to put my complete trust in her and when I walked into our venue she had blown away any expectations I had. From the ease or working with her to the beautiful end result there’s no one else that I would ever suggest. I am so fortunate that I had Hailey behind the scenes making my wedding day everything I could have dreamed of!

  • Serves Apple Valley, MN

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

Ari Reynolds Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Apple Valley, MN

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Ari has been amazing to work with. I think any photo gallery really shows off her talent. I'll point out that our event had both full-sun spaces and windowless interiors, and she captured the everything equally well. But what you can't so easily see from the galleries would be everything else that Ari does. She's one of those people that always runs at 110%. She helped us to create a timeline for the day and executed it, and she acted as an announcer when needed... really, she directed the show! Another couple we are friends with were so impressed with her work on the day-of, saying they would have wanted to hire her if they hadn't already gotten married a few months prior. Overall 10/10 recommend working with Ari!

Love Story Cakes exceeded our expectations for our wedding cake and desserts. Communication was a breeze through email and text, and they really listened to our vision of an anime-themed cake. The final products not only captured the look we wanted, but tasted delicious too. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the artistic details on the cake, cookies, and cake pops. Love Story brought our ideas to life with their amazing attention to detail. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a baker who will turn your dreams into reality on your special day.

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more.

We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable.

  • DJ
  • Serves Apple Valley, MN

Harmony was founded when we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding. We realized that the ideal DJ is someone who is passionate, experienced, and talented. Ultimately, what we were searching for was peace of mind, so we could be present for our loved ones and dance the night away! We get that you're searching for that too... ​ By focusing on your entertainment experience, we have grown into an award-winning boutique of DJs. Our passion is to bring people together through music and dancing. We'd love to hear your story & vision, and give you the ultimate entertainment experience.

Josh was absolutely AMAZING to work with. Honestly I cannot say enough good things. My husband and I have been to many weddings, and one thing we have learned is that the DJ/dance floor can make or break the night -- Harmony DJ DID NOT DISAPPOINT. They kept the party going the entire time.

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list.

Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!
