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. 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.

We really appreciated the timeline Roxee created, as well as the team's excitement the morning of. Would recommend again and again!

Dakota Layne Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Howard Lake, MN

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

When it comes to wedding venues, being allowed the freedom to make decisions that are in the best interest of our shared couples is a MUST. I've handled several weddings at The Jerome Event Center. The Graunkes, as well as their team, have ALWAYS made me feel like a member. Accommodating of my needs, communicative of client expectations, I have always felt that the relationship that we've established is as important as the relationship that's been established with the couples that are in our care. Trust is HUGE in this industry, not just from the couples that choose us to take care of them, but from the other vendors that we work alongside. I appreciate the trust and faith that has been placed in me by the team at The Jerome Event Center.

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.

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.

I also sent her some color swatches and she nailed the colors! The pick up process was quick and smooth as well! If you are on the fence on who should do your cake you NEED to pick Katie!

Kris and Glen were absolutely amazing to work with! I originally planned a winter wedding, but due to the pandemic we canceled the wedding and rebooked at the Gardens of Castle Rock so we could move up the wedding date and do everything outdoors. I had 2 months to plan an entire wedding. To say I was stressed and overwhelmed would be an understatement. I called and emailed Kris an absurd amount of times DAILY asking questions, voicing concerns with how to handle a wedding during a pandemic, and asking for vendor recommendations. My calls and emails were met with nothing but kindness, patience, and compassion. A level of customer service I didn't even know existed anymore. My calls were 99% time answered immediately by Kris and if I did leave a voicemail my call was returned within 2 hours. All my emails were answered within hours. I will for ever be grateful for all the help and kindness I received during my wedding planning from the team at The Gardens of Castle Rock. The day of the wedding everything looked amazing and was set up exactly as discussed. You MUST tour this venue in person. The pictures online do not do it justice! If you are even the tiniest bit interest schedule a tour! The day of the wedding all the guests could talk about was how amazing the venue was and were still hearing about it weeks after. The venue is gorgeous during the day but it's especially magical once it gets dark and the whole venue including the parking lot is lit up with garden lights. There is absolutely nothing I would change about this venue.

I have seen a bride change her mind 4 times before the ceremony on where to do it because of rain. The staff had all the chairs and wiped down and moved in under 13 minutes. Yes we moved 189 guest's 3 times in under 30 minutes because that is what the bride wanted on her day was outside. Sun came out and it rocked, and all we did was cut into 25 minutes of social hour.

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.

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 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.

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Howard Lake, 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.

Jasmine is incredible, which there isn’t quite a word adequate to describe her. She is fun, personable, and a bride’s champion. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured the vision I wanted. But, she was also the perfect hype woman and stood up for what I wanted. There’s truly no words to describe and express how glad I was to have her as my photographer.

Working with Alyssa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the engagement pictures (that she got back to us in less than 24 hrs) to planning out every detail in the timeline to capturing the most beautiful photos on the big day, Alyssa was absolutely amazing! And everyone who interacted with her at our wedding agreed! She captured all the photos I was hoping for and then found time to grab more that I didn’t think we’d be able to get. She was game to take a trolley ride with us and just let us soak in the whole day while capturing every beautiful moment! I can’t recommend her enough!

KP Imagery provides artistic and intentional images while capturing your big day. A mix of editorial and documentary-style photography allows you to relive the emotions of your Wedding day all over again. Katie is known for her couples feeling comfortable and themselves during photos. She delivers a carefully curated gallery of creative shots that capture your most important moments.

I hired Katie for our extended family photoshoot, as I had met her in the wedding world. I am a wedding florist and I've seen her work for a while now thought she'd be a good fit for family photos, and I was so right! I had some anxieties about the photoshoot and Katie went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and I ended up loving the photos! She was so clear and great at directing our big family on where to stand and how to pose. Loved our experience!

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!

We’re Dan and Alisha Amundsen, a husband and wife photography team from Ham Lake, MN. We met in 2007, and have been happily married since 2015. We enjoy traveling, home improvement projects, and parenting (most days!). We both have a background in digital media and photography, and started getting more serious about photography when we had our daughter in 2018. We got such great feedback about our photo work with our own daughter, and we wanted to help our friends and family capture memories and milestones. From there, Bella Cattura was born. In late 2019, we started shooting weddings, and found our ultimate passion in capturing love!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Bella Cattura for wedding photos and video! We absolutely loved the way our photos turned out and the video was amazing! Dan and Alycia were so great to work with (even during a pandemic) and very laid back but also kept the photos moving and planned ahead to ensure things went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Bella Cattura!
