Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

Glamour Beauty was a wonderful beauty professional to work with for my wedding day. Katie was extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the planning process, always getting back to me right away whenever I had a question or concern.

Let’s create a timeless collection that truly reflects your love and the legacy you’re building.

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh my lanta. Where do I begin? If we had to get married again, my first task would be to see if Rigg & Co was available and if not, I’d change my wedding date. I couldn’t imagine not having her there! First, Kate listens to what you want. My husband and I really wanted a lot of candid photos of us and our guests. We had an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so it was important to us that she captured them in the moment! Mission accomplished and more. Second, Kate is so talented and also just a fun human to be around. There’s no awkwardness or that “is this a good pose? Am I doing what I’m supposed to?” feeling because she makes you feel so comfortable! It was like she was just a part of the family and fit right in. She really was there at every moment - the rehearsal, up very early the next morning to go to the farmers market where I picked out my flowers, the ceremony, the dance, everything! Looking back, I’m extra thankful for her and the long day she put in because every moment was captured beautifully and exceeded my expectations. It even rained during our ceremony and the way she captured us during it was magical! I also can’t leave a review without mentioning the video she made! I was blown away by this. The video is so well done and thoughtful and really special to us as we got married during COVID and we had people who could not attend. This video allows them to see all of the intimate details of our wedding without actually being there. We even hired her years later to do family photos with our doggo! She’s the best. I feel like I’m rambling but it’s really because I cannot say enough positive things about Kate - hire her!

Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos!

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

We hired Tyler to perform for our daughter's wedding. He was so wonderful to work with and was willing to make several adjustments last minute that would have been impossible with recorded music due to unfortunate weather the day of the wedding. Tyler walked us through music options for the ceremony helping us choose music that was more than just 'nice' but brought out our bride and groom's personalities. He was a calming spirit and his music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect! We loved him so much that we hired him to play at our son's wedding as well. We absolutely recommend Tyler Herwig for any event!!

Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot.

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.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

GenerationNOW were great to work with in planning for our wedding. We knew we wanted the best DJ we could find to ensure our wedding was a party all night long! DJ Mad Mardigan delivered just that! The dance floor was packed the entire night, as he played hit after hit. Guests repeatedly commented that it was the best wedding party they had been to! And many commented that their feet were sore the next day...the sign of a great night of dancing! And do yourself a favor - get the cold sparklers! They added an extra special touch of cool to the night!

My name is Sarah Rose, owner of Faded Era Floral. Established in 2020, Faded Era offers full service wedding florals, elopement packages and special occasion local deliveries. I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

Faded Era Floral was an absolute delight to work with for all my events! Their communication was always prompt, open, and caring - Sarah, the owner, always makes clients feel heard and understood every step of the way. The quality of their work was truly innovative, colorful, and fun. Sarah always showed up with the most beautiful florals that elevated the vibe of our event in the most elevated and fun way. As a planner, I've hired Faded Era Floral for many of my clients and they never disappoint. Sarah is extremely talented and would make any couple so happy. She listens closely and creates pieces that are even more beautiful than you could have imagined. I cannot recommend Faded Era Floral highly enough!

Capturing your story and making your memories last forever is why I love what I do. I get to meet new people and experience their life for a brief moment. Learning about who or what they love. Sharing memories and experiences together.

Alex Rae Photography was a wonderful photographer for our wedding day. Alex was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, always providing clear communication. On the wedding day, Alex was able to go with the flow when needed but also confidently take charge to guide us through portraits. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing all the special moments. Alex made the entire process easy and comfortable. We felt at ease in front the camera and the photos reflect the joy we felt. The quality shows in the final edited photos and the value was well worth the cost. We would highly recommend Alex Rae Photography for your wedding or special event photography needs.
