When planning our wedding, finding the perfect venue was one of our top priorities. We wanted a place that was beautiful, spacious, and could accommodate all of our guests comfortably. From the moment we walked in, we knew that Copper Creek Ridge was the place where we wanted to exchange our vows. From the beautiful outdoor ceremony site to the stunning indoor reception area, everything was absolutely perfect. And the bride and groom's rooms are a plus! We also loved the location being right down the road from the Riverside Casino. But it wasn't just the aesthetics that impressed us - the staff were also incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were friendly, professional, and always went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was comfortable and happy. Overall, I would highly recommend Copper Creek Ridge to anyone looking for a stunning and memorable wedding venue. The combination of the space and exceptional service truly made for an unforgettable experience.

DJ Cox Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Durant, IA

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

DJ Cox Entertainment was an amazing addition to our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was easy, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. The quality of their work and value was incredible - they kept things running smoothly, maintained precise control over everything, and kept our guests energized and dancing all night long. DJ Cox made our wedding festivities, from start to finish, stress-free and so much fun. We highly recommend them for any event, but especially your wedding!

Olivia Erenberger Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Durant, IA

Howdy! I am Olivia Erenberger (pronounced Aaron Burger, like the hamburger) your fun and quirky and boho, Jesus loving, Texas country obsessed photographer based out of Tampa, Florida and Solon, Iowa. While wedding photography is my main squeeze, I fill the rest of my time with capturing life's best moments including family photography, high school senior photography, Maternity photography, Rodeo event Photography, and other portraits around Florida and Iowa.

Olivia was so easy to work with. She came prepared to help organize a wild bridal party, and everyone loved her! She stayed through most of the reception to capture precious moments, which was few hours past what we expected! No demand for more pay she just works that hard for her couples! The pictures turned out amazing!

Elinor Jane Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Durant, IA

For the longest time, I wondered what made a great photographer? Is it an expensive camera and equipment, or maybe the extensive education and fancy extra letter in your degree? The answer became clear to me that everyone can take a photo, but not just anyone can capture a moment. While those things help make up a photographer what is consistently remembered is how you tell a story through an image.

So many compliments from my guests about not only the photography itself but, also about our photographer!! Elinor was fantastic and helped me stay calm and focused throughout the hectic day that it was!!

Cherish the Day 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Durant, IA

Welcome to Cherish the Day, you are in the right place! My name is Lisa Syring and planning/coordinating your dream day is my game, no need to look any further. Having a Certified Wedding Planner in your back pocket is a great gift you can give to yourself and then wonder how you thought you could manage without me. Lead me to your dream day and I will execute every detail (plus more)! I love to remind my couples if, at the end of your dream day you are married to your best friend, all we did was a success!! My couples entrust in us and execution is key to us.

We could not recommend Cherish the Day enough!! I’ve been raving to anyone who asks—and even those who don’t—about working with Lisa. I initially started looking for “Day Of” coordinators when Lisa presented her “Month Of” package. It was the perfect amount of help for someone who was willing to do all of the legwork of finding and selecting vendors and just wanted assistance with the communication and execution once it was closer to the wedding date. We met with Lisa over a year before the wedding just so we could talk about our vision for our wedding and to see what areas we might need help in. She gave vendor recommendations when needed and made sure I had checklists to stay on track with booking everything. With her experience, she asked us questions about things we didn’t even realize we need to consider and gave suggestions if we were struggling. The best part was that she handled all of the vendor communication in the month leading up to the wedding, and she built the most detailed timeline for us (bridal party and vendors) to follow. My goal was to have someone that any and all questions could be directed to so that I didn’t have to add any stress—Lisa was that person and so, so much more. Both Lisa and her assistant (there on the day of) are amazing to work with—so personal and professional at the same time and there every step of the day. Cherish the Day is truly one of the best investments we made for our wedding!!

The BEST of the best! From the first moment that we exchanged emails, then calls, I knew we would be hiring Carissa and her team to be part of our wedding.

And our DJ was amazing as well! The guests had such a great time. Living a few hours away, Carissa helped me along the way giving me advice and resources.

DJ Davin Titus 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Durant, IA

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

Iris & Ivy 
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Durant, IA

A lifelong dream of mine was always to own my own business, but it never seemed to be in the cards for me until I took a temporary position after college graduation. That position was as a floral designer, and you could say that's when I knew I had found my life's passion. From there I worked in a handful of floral shops before deciding to open my own studio. Iris & Ivy has become my labor of love. I am constantly learning new and better ways to design and honing my craft to bring each couple's vision to life. Something I hope to do for a very long time.

Kayza & Vine Creative Co. 
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Durant, IA

During my time at The University of Iowa, I immersed myself in the world of art, majoring in Studio Art. My coursework encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including art history, photography, design, painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and metalworking. While I loved exploring these various mediums, I found myself torn between them, unable to decide on a single career path. One night, a brilliant idea struck me: I didn't have to choose. This realization sparked the creation of Kayza & Vine Creative Co., a photography studio that allows me to combine my passion for art with my love of capturing moments and stories through the lens.
