Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

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

My husband and I are so grateful that we hired Alexandra Robyn Photography for our wedding! Allie was so kind and professional.

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

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!

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.

Essen Events is an award winning Event Production business in the Twin Cities. We offer floral design, event design, and multiple wedding planning packages. We take pride in our clients, and specialize in telling your love story through the design for your event.

I had the pleasure of working with Hailey Barrett from Essen Events as both my wedding planner and my florist. I chose the partial planning package - it was the perfect fit for what I was looking for (I needed design guidance and industry expertise, but also wanted to have a part in the planning process). AND let me tell you .... I could NOT be happier with how our wedding went. From the moment my husband and I met Hailey, we felt at ease with Hailey's energy - she's such an expert and a professional, but she is also SO easy to chat with and just be around (even when I was a little stressed girlie). I explored a few options for a wedding planner, and what set Hailey apart for me was her genuine passion for the couples she works with. She has a sparkle and an excitement for what she does, and she helped make my CRAZY dreams come true (like the INSANELY GORGEOUS FLORAL INSTALLATION that we repurposed as a centerpiece for our dancefloor!!! LIKE WHAT?!). Before finding Essen Events, I was really worried about how I would make my pinterest board of dreams into a reality. Hailey took my ideas from pinterest and asked about some of our desires for the day and made a design plan that we could execute from all of my SCATTERED ideas. That's true talent!! It was so comforting to see how we could achieve the look I wanted. Hailey and her team are not JUST wedding planners and florists - they are ARTISTS, they are KIND, they are your HYPE GIRLS, they are the right choice for your wedding if you're looking to be surrounded by gorgeous vibes and wonderful people. Thank you, @Essen Events for the privilege of working with you on our FAVORITE day of all time.

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,299
  • Serves Howard Lake, MN

We are a personalized Wedding DJ company based out of Becker Mn. We help you plan your wedding from day one. Our goal is to have you trust our DJ 100% BEFORE your wedding day. Then of course rock the party at your wedding.

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was exceptional - they were always checking in to see if we had any questions or needed help with anything music-related. On the day of our wedding, their DJ was so in tune with our favorite songs and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The only minor downside was that our social hour location wasn't able to have music, but overall their service and value was fantastic. I'd give them a 9/10 rating and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding entertainment team.

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.

As a wedding planner, finding vendors who are not only professional but fun to be around can be hard to find sometimes. That is definitely not the case with Jasmine of Jasmine Davey Photography! Jasmine was a joy to work with from day one! She was extremely responsive to any emails or questions I sent her way and was a joy to work with on the wedding day. You can tell Jasmine is passionate about what she does, purely by the way she conducts herself on wedding days. Her photos were absolutely breathtaking! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you definitely will not be disappointed if you hire Jasmine!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Howard Lake, 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 was so wonderful to work with and efficient! At a wedding where I was the planner/coordinator, there were so many moving parts, and times were getting pushed around on the timeline. She and I worked together and communicated efficiently to get things back on track and made sure the couple was happy and got all their pictures.

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. 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. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

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. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

Paul was wonderful to work with for our wedding! He was willing to meet with me as many times as needed to make sure we had everything covered for our reception. He did a great job emceeing as well as playing music. He is very detailed and organized, and can definitely go with the flow! I can’t recommend him enough!

From personal flowers... bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres to ceremony arrangements, installations, and reception centerpieces, I am energized with creative ideas and the execution of my client's vision!

Shara created the most beautiful, whimsical, and photo-worthy arrangements for our May wedding. Not only was her work stunning, but it was EXACTLY what we envisioned.

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Minneapolis. I also travel often for weddings, so I can be available wherever you are! I enjoy all of the classic things about a wedding, and also love to get creative with trendy images too.

I am a person that is very camera shy and stiff and do not know how to pose so I was nervous about my wedding day photos. I told Maddy about that and after the first few minutes of her taking photos of me I forgot about it. Maddy was able to direct me, my husband and guests in a way that was comfortable, made everyone relaxed and just felt organic. I was actually having fun taking photos for the first time ever and was excited to see the results which, by the way, were AMAZING! I am so happy I chose her as my photographer and I could not recommend her more.

Hello! My name is Hope and as the owner I’d love to welcome you to Golden Garden Blooms. I’m so happy that you’re here! As someone who’s been immersed within the wedding world since 2020 and the garden space since I can remember, I’ve gotten to witness the beauty and joy that flowers bring to not only special events but everyday life.

Hope is so great to work with! I book special events in our off season for a small venue space and we brought Golden Garden Blooms in to guide a floral arrangement class/activity to accompany our Mother’s Day brunch. The event ran so smoothly- easy to plan with her, she was very knowledgeable, and the guests had so much fun. Our guests told us how wonderful the experience was and how beautiful the florals were. Will be planning future events with GGB!
