  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Lake Elmo, MN

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!

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! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Sydney was our wedding day of coordinator, and she did a great job taking control of our wedding day. She did all the thinking for everyone, made the decisions we discussed, and executed them flawlessly. She fought for what the bride and groom wanted when things didn't go our way. She created a timeline for us and kept us on track throughout the day. She set up all of our decorations, took them down, and loaded them away in the proper vehicles. Sydney checked in on us regularly. We could simply send her a text with what was on our mind as we got closer and closer to the main event. She developed a relationship with the bride, the groom, and any parents that wanted to be involved in the 1-2 months that we really worked with her. She was wonderful. We are very glad that we had her and would highly recommend her to a friend.

We specialize in making your wedding day the most epic celebration ever since 1998! Our passion for excellence is what sets us apart from the rest. We don’t do boring here – our tailored approach means that we cater to your unique style and preferences, creating a wedding that’s as unique as you are making it the most unforgettable experience imaginable. We provide a professional and polished performance that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night long. A DJ Sound Productions wedding is what every Bride desires! So what are you waiting for? Let’s create the wedding of your dreams and make it a party that nobody will ever forget!

DJs are expected to be perfect, every second they are working, every day. No other job has this expectation. We understood this and wanted a human DJ, not a robot. We wanted a DJ company that can follow what we wanted, what we put on the forms, a DJ to play our music, fill in great songs to match our taste and style, to pack the dance floor (we know this isn't a reasonable request as this relies on guests, not solely the DJ alone), a DJ that can pick music to encourage guests to dance, and show up on time and do not a perfect job, but amazing job. And this DJ did just that! Our fear was a dance that had poor music and no dancers. That's it. We've seen so many other DJ fail at this. Not this DJ company, they were amazing and exceeded all requirements above. The DJ was outstanding and worth every penny. And I loved that I could call the COMPANY at 10pm with questions. Knock out job and very well done. Highly recommend these amazing (not perfect) humans! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the Gardens of Castle Rock for our venue was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process; Kris and Heidi were very communicative and accommodating to requests and questions throughout the whole process; from our first tour to the wedding day itself. We had really been looking for a location that merged my style and my husband's and the variety of ceremony locations and natural picturesque locations was a major plus. we also wanted flexibility in who we brought in for the rest of our vendors - not only were we not restricted in our choice in caterer/florists/decor etc but the Gardens also provided a list of tried and tested vendors that knew the location. We felt fully supported during our vendor journey without feeling pressured to pick from a restricted list. We did end up using many vendors from the recommended list because they matched our style and our price point. While we did have a full-service planner to help us during our planning process I would still highly recommend the Gardens to anyone whos planning their wedding on their own. I was also the first wedding they hosted for 2023; during the 2022 winter storm the lathe house had decided it needed a break a took a tumble - the team alerted us right away as we wanted that for our ceremony and in no time they had the lathe house fixed and ready for us to use on our day. They also helped us navigate and plan for potential rain, which thankfully we didn't have to use, but it was such a comfort to know that rain or shine my wedding was going to go off without a hitch. I can't thank the Gardens of Castle Rock enough for ensuring my perfect day and I wholeheartedly recommend them! As a bonus, we had a few opportunities to speak with the owner, Glenn, and we'll be purchasing a wood slab my Husband will turn into a coffee table so we can commemorate the day - that way we'll always have a little piece of the Garden's with us.

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!

Essen Events 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Lake Elmo, MN

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.

Essen is easily the best choice for your wedding. Hailey walked with us through the entire planning process: suggesting vendors, offering her opinions and making our Pinterest boards a reality. She held our wedding day vision in high regard and used her incredible eye for design to transform that vision into a real space. She has extensive experience within the industry and knows how to run big weddings, small weddings and weddings with nontraditional schedules. Without Hailey, I would have been running around on our wedding day, making sure everything was in place. Instead, she solved every problem before I realized it could be an issue, letting me enjoy the day without a worry. We had a nontraditional schedule for our wedding day with two receptions right after one another and Hailey had absolutely no problem making that work. She connected with each of our vendors and made sure they were all on the same page so the day went seamlessly. Hailey did an amazing job on our florals too! Our bouquets were absolutely breathtaking and the greenery installation and other florals at our reception really tied the whole look together. At our planning meetings, she took meticulous notes so she could understand what we wanted and the end result was more beautiful than I could have imagined. In short, Hailey listens to what you want and makes it happen.

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.

Jasmine was AMAZING during our wedding. Not only did she take beautiful pictures, but she also was there with us for the whole process. She was always available to help give us advice for the small details. Jasmine was very professional the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to capture our perfect day. She is also wildly creative. We ended up taking some gorgeous pictures in an elevator in our venue! I would recommend Jasmine as a photographer any day!

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).

We had Paul DJ our outdoor wedding and he was really responsive & when I provided some must plays, he delivered & kept the vibes going until we shut down the dance floor. Would recommend hiring Paul!!
