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 only made it through all of the pictures we for sure wanted thanks to Maurissa's direction giving with our massive group of friends and family! The preview we've seen so far looks great, we're very excited to see the full package of what she captured.

He did a great job at my sister’s wedding a couple of years ago so we were excited to have him DJ our wedding as well! He was SO thorough & prepared, and he was such a big reason that our day went so smoothly. I had such peace of mind on our wedding day because he was doing so much behind the scenes. The audio during the ceremony & speeches, his announcements, and the reception music were all so great! He definitely knows the music that keeps people on the dance floor. He was also very flexible to make our first dance happen outside (with the rest of the dance happening inside) which we were very grateful for!

Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! 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.

Hailey was truly amazing to work with. I was fortunate enough to work with her on our floral arrangements and she handled all the day of coordination as well. 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 Lake Elmo, 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.

Where do I begin, Charby & Co is the most amazing photographer to work with. As me and my husband were planning our elopement we had no idea where to begin. We came across Charby & Co and I told her about the vision I had for our wedding elopement. She was very professional and she stayed in touch with me for months leading up to our big day. She was very insightful of the location we picked, and she had many recommendations for places near by during our stay. Charby & Co exceeded my expectations when it comes to her amazing, talented, beautiful work! I will forever be grateful that she was my photographer for one of the best days in my life. The entire experience was breathtaking and she made me and my husband so comfortable in front of the camera. She truly made our elopement so special and our pictures speak for themselves. The gallery of amazing work that was captured on our beautiful day, was a complete dream come true!! Charby & Co is truly one of a kind, and her work is extraordinary.

Ari Reynolds Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Lake Elmo, 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 has been amazing to work with. I think any photo gallery really shows off her talent. I'll point out that our event had both full-sun spaces and windowless interiors, and she captured the everything equally well. But what you can't so easily see from the galleries would be everything else that Ari does. She's one of those people that always runs at 110%. She helped us to create a timeline for the day and executed it, and she acted as an announcer when needed... really, she directed the show! Another couple we are friends with were so impressed with her work on the day-of, saying they would have wanted to hire her if they hadn't already gotten married a few months prior. Overall 10/10 recommend working with Ari!

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.

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!

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!
