Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start?! We had Hanna Marie Events for our Day of Coordinator, Content Creation, and we also did the Wedding Management Package. If I could go back, I would do the same thing over again! From the very beginning, Hanna felt like a friend. She’s incredibly sweet, down to earth, and is truly there to support you in creating the best day of your life. On top of that, she’s very knowledgeable, organized, and can probably answer any question you’d ever have. Throughout the planning process, I always felt supported. Hanna responds quickly to emails and was always in my corner helping me make the right decisions when I had no clue what I was doing. There’s no way our wedding would have turned out so seamless and beautiful if it wasn’t for HME. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and beautifully. They were so on top of everything, they worked with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, it couldn’t have gone better. Having them there took off more stress than I can explain, and instead of worrying about random things, we got to enjoy our day and take in each moment. Lastly, content creation! We opted out of doing a videographer and instead chose content creation with HME. Best decision ever!!! She captured all the moments, big and small. She captured details from the venue, our first look, ceremony, dancing, etc etc. Anything you’d want videos of, Hanna’s got it. It’s been so fun to reminisce on our day, and looking back at all the videos is the best part. Hanna captured once in a lifetime moments that came and went in an instant, but now we have forever. Thank you SO MUCH Hanna, Brooke Team. You guys are amazing!!!!!

MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist.

Jessica Knighton Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Crystal Bay, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica is the best. Hands down. Hire her immediately and never look back. She is a master of her craft. She was fun but professional, everyone loved her, and the photos are beyond anything I could have hoped for. We were not the easiest customers. First, our venue was a museum, not a wedding venue, so she had to be creative and work around a space not designed for weddings. Jessica was unperturbed. She considered everything: where the sun would hit, what time to be where, and how to account for different types of weather. At the end of the day, the photos look like they were not taken in a museum, but belong in a museum. Second, my husband does not like being in photos or having any attention on him whatsoever. When told to smile for the camera, he usually makes a face like he just smelled bad eggs. I do not know what kind of wizard Jessica is, but she is definitely magic. She put him at ease and managed to capture sincere, loving looks. Third, she indulged and hyped up all of my silly ideas, like our first look, which I did in an inflatable dinosaur costume. She reflected exactly the balance of quirky and classy I was going for in our photos. When I got engaged, I envisioned being surrounded by my closest, most cherished friends and family. I did not think about the fact that there would also be a virtual stranger there trying to catch it all on tape. Jessica and I spent almost the entire day together, and it was great. She managed to capture intimate moments without ever being intrusive, but she was not a wallflower either. She was helpful, fun, and truly a joy to be around, making a special day even more special.

I am so happy I chose Primped for hair and makeup on my wedding day, I felt like a Princess! I have never had my hair done so perfectly and my makeup so flawless. Primped has a very smooth system and were transparent with their menu and pricing. Having a trial built in to the package for me was huge. Being able to test my style out ahead of time allowed me to not have to be fully with it for my 6am start. Sabrina and Kimmy were outstanding for makeup and hair, respectfully. Even though it was very hot and humid outside and no air-conditioning in the church, my very long hair barely dropped and my makeup stayed perfect all day. I absolutely recommend Primped for all wedding beauty needs!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Van Dusen Mansion, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The mansion is absolutely stunning, and the team’s professionalism made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. After placing our deposit, we received a clear and detailed planning timeline, which the team stuck to from beginning to end. Monica, the venue director, was incredibly responsive and genuinely excited to work with us. We were planning a hybrid cultural wedding, which can sometimes be daunting for vendors, but Monica embraced it wholeheartedly and made us feel supported every step of the way. We also appreciated the flexibility of being able to tour the venue multiple times without any pushback. By the time our wedding day arrived, it truly felt like we were inviting guests into our own home. One thing to note: the venue requires that the get-ready rooms be cleaned out before the ceremony begins. This was a bit inconvenient as things got hectic, and we recommend couples assign someone specifically to manage that, as we did lose track of a few personal items after the event. The only other downside is that you're required to use their exclusive catering partner, Mintahoe (we've left a separate review for them). Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The Van Dusen Mansion is a stunning venue with a fantastic team, and we’re so grateful to have celebrated our special day there! Photo cred: @storytellercoweddings

When we first toured Nicollet Island Pavillion we met Morgan. She was incredibly helpful starting from the initial planning stages, selecting a date, and arranging a special tasting to accommodate the bride's dairy and gluten allergies. Mintahoe was so on top of it that they even had multiple gluten and dairy free wedding cakes for the bride to taste. This was especially impressive to us because other gluten and dairy free bakeries wouldn't even accommodate cake tastings. (The cakes were all delicious. We went with chocolate raspberry/ lemon poppyseed with lemon curd and vanilla buttercream.) Morgan went above and beyond through every step of the planning process, and she and the Mintahoe staff thought of everything. At our final planning meeting we met Nikita. She had the venue set up and then we went through every step of the day according to the timeline. On the big day, Nikita coordinated with our DJ, Pastor, and Photographers and things could not have gone better! A few things that really stood out to us were: - After the ceremony, the venue had our favorite drinks and small appetizer plates ready for us in the back room. - The late night snacks (nacho bar and wings) were also allergen free. - They put up all of our signage and place cards (which saves a lot of stress). Overall, the day was so perfect because of Morgan, Nikita, and Mintahoe's professionalism and planning. As the bride and groom, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day!

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Britt enough, or emphasize how grateful we are to have found Render Photography. From the first Zoom get-to-know-you meeting to our engagement session through to the big day, Britt was an absolute knowledgeable and helpful pro, helping us make decisions on key details like day-of timelines while exuding a warm, friendly style that helped my partner and I feel at ease in front of the camera (we both are naturally camera shy). Her ability to maintain a calm and chill demeanor through tight schedules while simultaneously wrangling our 18-person wedding party into looking like movie stars is honestly a superpower. I'm absolutely obsessed with how our photos turned out. They say that choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important choices you make, as they're likely the person you and your spouse spend the most time with on your wedding day. You want to trust that this person has got it all under control, and will capture your day beautifully. Trust me - choose Britt.

Hands down, the BEST place to host a wedding in Minneapolis! The staff was amazing and soooooo accommodating - quick to return calls and emails and to answer any/all questions related to my son's wedding. 10 stars!! We hosted the groom's dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing all in one space and it was the best wedding set-up ever! Guests are still raving about the food and ambience! We had an amazing room block rate. Michael worked with the bride on pricing food, open bar, late night buffet, Topgolf, etc... which made the entire process stress-free. The parking ramp is connected directly to hotel via skyway, which was a huge boon for guests when they arrived for the wedding. We were able to bring in our own furniture, accessories, cake and rentals. We were also able to set things up as we wished with the help of Michael and his amazing team of energetic, hardworking and overly kind staff!! We had the pleasure of enjoying the outdoor patio space, which was absolutely perfect for the cigar bar. I highly recommend the Graduate to all brides & grooms!!! My family is still raving about the wedding and it's been almost a month since the big event. THANK YOU GRADUATE TEAM FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR MY SON AND HIS NEW WIFE!!!

We had nothing bundt cakes for our dessert. We chose to do bundtinis so everyone could try one or two flavors and eat them when they want. The team at nothing bundt cakes was great. They responded to our request very quick and let us know all our options. They also offered a tasting box with all their flavors for you to try at home. Everything was super easy and the delivery to the venue was great. And they offer anniversary cakes for life!! :)

Betsey and her team were absolute stars from day one. In a few words, professional, hardworking, and experts. I trusted everything they had to say. I went in to my bridal makeup and hair trial having an idea of what I wanted, but no idea on how best to execute. Betsey took the reigns and worked with my skin to achieve an exceptional look. Her team was incredible with hair too! Giving feedback has always been a little challenging for me, but calling Betsey up a few months before the wedding to discuss some changes to make was no issue. She came prepared with blotting papers, energy, and all the equipment necessary to tame the whole crew - even the ones that wanted last minute lashes and lipstick and hadn't paid yet. Luminous Beauty was on time, set up and tore down efficiently, and were strategic in their timeline for applying things like lipstick to achieve maximum impact for photos. Sitting in their chairs was like sitting in your own little bubble with them. You feel like you're the only person in the room, and they treat you with so much kindness and consideration. My mother and mother in law were not prepared with their look, but with some targeted questions by Luminous Beauty, they were looking like their best selves and were all extremely happy with the outcome. Luminous Beauty also showed us all how to insert and remove my veil which was a little tricker than expected! But we did it and it was an absolute success!. Everyone looked incredible that day, and we owe it all to Betsey and Luminous Beauty. An incredible team.

The Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington was an incredible venue for our wedding block. From the moment we booked, their communication was prompt, clear, and quick - they were so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The venue itself was beautifully clean and had such an aesthetic look and feel. They went above and beyond for our special day, even providing complimentary champagne at check-in for our guests and an amazing shuttle service.
