โ€œWe could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.โ€

Jason Thomas Crocker Photography | Des Moines Weddingย Photographerย 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Mitchellville, IA

Hi, Iโ€™m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, Iโ€™ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

โ€œJason is simply the best! We stumbled upon him after reviewing photographers in our area and it was the biggest blessing. He was super quick to respond after we inquired about availability and before we knew it he was taking our engagement photos! We made Jason aware of when we hoped to send out save the dates for our wedding and he got our photos back to us within a week of them being taken with a preview the very next day! Jason is super open to making your photos memorable so when we wanted a few photos with our pup and us celebrating with champagne, he was all in! Fast forward to the months leading up to our big day, Jason was always there with emails to make sure he was prepared and had all the details we were looking for in our photos. We have a big family so our shot list was a little long but come wedding day, Jason was firing through those photos to make sure we stayed on schedule. We were actually ahead of schedule all day long which I know is a result of his efficiency. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we owe a lot of thanks to Jason for that. He was so personable with everyone he met and made taking photos fun! Our friends and family are still raving about Jason and we got married a little over a month ago! And can we talk about the quality of his work? They left my husband and I speechless. Jason, thank you for being you! We couldnโ€™t have asked for a better experience or a kinder soul. We canโ€™t wait to recommend you to all our friends and family and to have you capture our lives in the years to come! Love, the Barnesโ€

Haverleeย Photographyย 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Mitchellville, IA

Iโ€™m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œThere is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Momโ€™s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you donโ€™t want to forget, and thatโ€™s exactly what she captures- every single time. Iโ€™m thankful for the ways she doesnโ€™t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldnโ€™t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I wonโ€™t ever go with another photographer!โ€

โ€œConnor was our day of coordinator for our wedding and made things run very smoothly! I prepped her with my wedding binder and she took it from there making sure all vendors who arrived were coordinated and directed. She would come up and ask questions if needed but kept them very minimal as she understands your day is already busy and you have made so many decisions to get there. We very last minute decided to do shots before the ceremony and she made the run to the bar to get them for the wedding party before we walked down the aisle. She worked effortlessly with our other vendors such as photographer and videographer as well as kept in communication with me to see if there was anything I needed. If looking for an event coordinator or planner - Iโ€™d 1000x recommend her!โ€

I love that VOWS is focused on small and intimate weddings โ€“ a lot of venues in town are geared toward the larger capacity and that's just not really our style. What's even better is that everything from officiant to photographer to food and drink is included in our package, so I don't have to stress over a million different things or vendors. Our wedding isn't until 2024, but we could not be more excited to host our close friends and family at VOWS!

Iโ€™m Alyssa. You can call me Lys. (It rhymes with Kiss) โ˜บ I'm a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel often. Couples, elopements, and small weddings are my speciality. My style leans documentary, timeless, and sincere, with some avant-garde editorial vibes, artsy influences, and good old fashioned weirdness mixed in. I love color, flash, film, and all things non-traditional. I got my start in music photography, which greatly informs my shooting style, and have been documenting Iowa's music scene and touring with bands for over 10 years!

โ€œI'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!โ€

Hello, I am Kara Vorwald. Although I am a wonderer, for now I am based in Des Moines Iowa. I travel throughout the midwest and beyond! (especially anywhere warm during the winter months.) I am a mamma to 3 of the wildest free kids and 4 cats. A wife to an amazing creative husband. If I am not creating something I feel like I would burst over. So I am usually found knitting, baking, quilting, painting or something similar when I am not busy taking photos. I love being a photographer and capturing special moments and memories for others.

โ€œWe hired Kara for our wedding and we knew it was going to be a good decision. As a professional wedding photographer myself, I have worked with Kara on weddings, so hiring her was easier than picking out cocktail napkins. I had the same experience professionally as I did as a client: sheโ€™s super supportive, laid back, takes good care her clients and delivers a phenomenal product. Kara is super easy to work with, and she made my wedding day so easy.โ€

โ€œWe got married at Toast last month, and it was my dream wedding. We toured Toast over a year and a half ago and Sara was so helpful and kind from the start! While itโ€™s not the cheapest venue out there it is by far the most beautiful and requires less decor - potentially saving you money on other items. The only thing that we wish the venue did have was a room for the groom/groomsmen to get ready.โ€

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Mitchellville, IA

The Tangerine Food Company offers outstanding catering services to the Des Moines community. We strive to make your event special and memorable. Our food is freshly prepared and sourced locally from farmers markets and community producers. Your event will be special from the first delicious cocktail to the last bite of sumptuous dessert. Cherry and Susan share a passion for fresh food, well-prepared and beautifully displayed. They have been preparing food together socially and professionally for almost two decades.

โ€œWe booked Tangerine Food Co. from the recommendation of a wedding planner in the area, because we donโ€™t live there and arenโ€™t able to taste test anything. We were absolutely thrilled with our food, which were hors-dโ€™ล“uvres during cocktail hour, a large buffet dinner, and a dessert table as well as our cutting cake. Everything was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! We had so many guests comment on how good the food was, which doesnโ€™t always happen at weddings. Pernilla the owner was wonderful to work with, super communicative, and an all around lovely person. They also were able to accommodate a few different food allergies because I canโ€™t eat gluten and even had options for vegetarian entrees. If I had to do it all over again, Tangerine would be my first vendor booked. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend.โ€

The Weddingย DJย

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Mitchellville, IA

I absolutely enjoy what I do, I've been providing solid high quality entertainment to couples all over the state of Iowa for almost 40 years! I started my DJ career in 1984 in Davenport Iowa, at that time I was using two turntables and had to haul big heavy crates of LPs with me. Now I use 2 specifically dedicated laptop computers that hold nearly 100,000 songs, wow isn't technology great!

โ€œI highly recommend Sean! He did a great job of working with our pastor, guests, other vendors and wedding coordinator. In addition to providing the music, he was in charge of keeping the night moving forward and our wedding on schedule. I truly appreciated his thoroughness and his professionalism. He was a big part of making our day the success that it was. One of my favorite compliments that we received from our guests was, "I've been to a lot of weddings in my day and yours had the best music selection, hands down."โ€

We love visiting National Parks. We typically took at least a week long camping trip to a park every year. We did miss last year due to a newborn baby and our plans to go to Acadia this year got axed (thanks COVID). But we will get back out there soon!

โ€œIf you want to relive your wedding day every time you watch your video, choose Masterson! We loved working with Masterson so much!! Leading up to our wedding day, Aaron and Deborah met and chatted with us to figure out what style of videographer we were looking for (we weren't really sure so they did a great job figuring that out with us) and what elements of our day were really important for them to capture. We loved that they guided and listened to us so we felt so comfortable with them leading up to the day. The day of, they got there early to scope everything out and melded into the day wonderfully. We felt like they were present and helpful when we were navigating through the day-of-timeline but they weren't overbearing at all. They were so fun and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. I personally loved that it felt like we additional wedding party capturing our day! When we received our teaser, we watched it over and over and over again and cried every time. It felt like we had our very own personal music video! It brought us right back to the most amazing day of our lives and triggered SO many amazing memories. We literally watch our videos all the time and cannot wait to show our children and grandchildren someday!โ€
