We loved working with Studio Veil for our Minneapolis wedding!! Set up and take down was seamless on our wedding day, and correspondence was always easy and fast.

Liquidmotion

Brooklyn Park, MN
  • Bar services & beverages

From insightful planning to customized staffing; from creative drink menus to tailored drink selections, LiquidMotion has it all! We employ a large staff of the best bartending professionals in the Twin Cities. Most have worked in the area’s trendiest bars and all share a passion for top notch customer service and execution. LiquidMotion offers a variety of packages that allow you to easily create a bar atmosphere that is uniquely yours!

Liquidmotion was the bartender for my wedding reception at Summit Manor Reception House. It was one of the preferred vendors, so working with them was seamless! We had 2 bartenders, and they were willing to set up outside for cocktail hour, then one of them moved inside to the speakeasy for the remainder of the reception. We had two signature cocktails, and they sourced local beers for us. The alcohol was purchased through Mac's Liquor, which Liquidmotion picked up for us, and then returned all of the leftovers (besides opened bottles or ones that had damaged labels from being chilled). We were able to get a refund for all of the returned alcohol, which was truly a gamechanger in our budget. The bartenders were efficient, and I didn't get any complaints from guests about long waits.

  • Serves Brooklyn Park, MN

If you're looking for a stress-free day that you can truly enjoy and someone there to capture all the moments you were hoping for and more...can I just say HEYO!! More than anything, it is my pride and joy to guide you from our first meeting to your final gallery with ease and support. Our preparation will ensure that your day is centered around the two of you instead of literally anything else. As your wedding should be!

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

Luminous Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for our family photo day. Their communication was clear and flexible, making the entire process seamless. The quality of their work was top-notch - the makeup and hairstyles were beautifully executed, and the results lasted all night long. They did an amazing job of toning and matching everything perfectly to our skin tones. The team was so fun and professional, making the experience truly enjoyable. I will definitely be back for any future events!

My husband got married here in August of 2023 after the remodel and it was so beautiful. The Plymouth room was so beautiful and perfect for dinner and dancing. The balcony was also fantastic for guests to have space to hang out outside during cocktail hour. The garden was so exquisite that we did not need any decorations! There was plenty of parking for everyone and easy for guests to find. We worked with Nicole and she was so organized and answered all of my questions to make the day so smooth. We had the best experience at Plymouth Creek Center and would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a ceremony and reception in one beautiful spot!

Hello my name is Stephanie, I have been a licensed cosmologist for the last 10 years! I started working in a lot of blow dry bars for about 6 years and that brought me to doing bridal hair. I truly love styling hair!!! I have been doing bridal hair for the last 7 years and I love it!!!! I will always do my best to give you the style you are looking to achieve, but I will also let you know what will work best for your hair. I also specialize in hair extensions and sell bridal hair accessories. Look forward to meeting all you beautiful brides and hopefully being a part of your beautiful day! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't be happier with the incredible work Stephanie did for our wedding. With much of my wedding party having long, thick hair, I was worried about finding someone who could create a style that would not only look stunning but also hold up throughout the entire day. Stephanie exceeded all our expectations, creating perfect styles for all of us! From the trial session to the wedding day, she was professional, attentive, and truly understood the look I wanted to achieve. She worked her magic on my hair, creating beautiful curls and a style that remained flawless from the first photos to last call. Not only did she make my hair look amazing, but she also worked wonders on my bridal party. Each of my bridesmaids had different hair types, and she tailored their styles perfectly, leaving everyone thrilled with the results. Her calm and friendly demeanor made the getting-ready process enjoyable and stress-free. She even helped my sisters learn how to best put in and take out my veil, along with other personal touches for each of us that truly were above and beyond. I received countless compliments on my hair, and I couldn't recommend Stephanie more highly to any bride.

I’m Reyna, the heart behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, my passion for wedding photography is inspired by my grandparents’ enduring love; their wedding photos are cherished pieces that guide my work. I strive to create heirloom, film-inspired images that celebrate genuine emotions and joyful moments. I live in a charming Tudor house with my husband, our two little girls, and our cat, Goose. In my free time, I enjoy camping, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.

Worked with Reyna and she was incredibly hardworking and friendly! There’s not a lot of vendors in the wedding industry who aren’t too focused on themselves. I had so much fun working with her and made the day even better! I followed them on Instagram and was glad to see the quality of work matches the personality

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

Josh is the full package! You don't need to worry about a thing with him, he just gets it. He can tell what you value and care about and knows exactly how to capture the moment. He's cool calm and collected, and helps to guide you without making your day feel like a goofy photoshoot. On the lead up to your day, you can expect direct and clear communication. Photos arrived exactly on schedule. Expect lots of compliments from anyone who sees your photos!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're on the fence like we were about having any videography at our wedding, and if you're reading this review, BOOK TIM AND LEXI. NOW. Just do it without hesitation because I can say with 100% certainty that you will have zero regrets and if you're like us, you'll look back and know it was one of the smartest decisions you've ever made. You'll have two of the best, kindest, most hilarious, crazy talented, incredibly hyped people by your side, crafting THE MOST beautiful, goosebumps-giving, heart-warming, fully authentically "us" wedding video that you and everyone you know have ever seen. This is a video for a lifetime of reliving the magic, some you experienced and some you didn't realize was happening, of your wedding day. That's part of what makes this team so amazing, it's not a one-size fits all "here's your standard wedding video with all the same moments that every other video on every other website has". Tim and Lexi get to know you, they pay attention, and discover, capture, and stitch together this amazing tapestry of video that perfectly encapsulates the "us" that is the you and your forever someone; the natural ease that exists in the moments when you're holding hands, or laughing at a silly inside joke, or just admiring one another. Not only are they amazingly talented, but they are SO GOOD at making you feel comfortable, guiding you along the process, coming up with fun things to do that would make great shots, and also being down to try new things and go with your ideas. When you look for a videography team, you want people who obsess over details, who are excited to be working with you, who love their craft and are consistently honing and refining and growing their repertoire, who want to really understand your relationship, and are people you want to hang out with and share your special day with - Tim and Lexi are all of these things and after our whole experience, we are honored to call them our friends. We hope so many more people get to share in the pure joy and happiness that comes with working with these two.

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonnie documented our wedding Oct '22, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning leading up to the event was timely, clear and simple. Her cool, calm manner made us all feel at ease and the candids that Bonnie grabbed between moments are some of our favorite shots. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a lens, but we love the way she was able to capture our personalities on camera. We are so grateful to have had Bonnie at our wedding, and would highly recommend her services.

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

Family-owned & operated since 1982, Broders' Cucina's Catering services are here to bring Italy to your table. What started as a humble deli selling fresh pasta, we are now considered a neighborhood institution with three Italian concepts in Southwest Minneapolis. We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic both their Italian origins and our Minnesota roots.

Broders' Catering was a wonderful choice for our wedding. The catering specialist was clear, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. The food they provided was delicious, authentic, and served in good portions. Their drop-off catering service helped eliminate stress during an already busy time, and the plating and presentation of the dishes made it easy for us to serve right away with little to no preparation. The food was not only delicious, but also well-priced for the quality - we even had leftovers! We highly recommend Broders' Catering for any special event.
