Ashley Larae MUA 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Waconia, MN

Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Waconia, MN

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

We had a tropical themed wedding and used Flower Moxie for tropical flowers and greenery: bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, ceremony arch flowers. I wish there were more tropical related videos on their DIY Academy, but I did love working with my assigned florist and the help desk was quick in their response. For those who are getting married at the same location that the flowers are being delivered (my parents' home), I wish we would have done all of the floral arrangements the day before instead of 2 days before. And our spray roses came a day later and were a little sad looking. But overall, we were very happy with the service and highly recommend to others!

If you're looking for a stress-free day that you can truly enjoy and someone there to capture all the moments you were hoping for and more...can I just say HEYO!! More than anything, it is my pride and joy to guide you from our first meeting to your final gallery with ease and support. Our preparation will ensure that your day is centered around the two of you instead of literally anything else. As your wedding should be!

Awarded Best of Zola
I think I speak for a lot of us that wedding planning is not easy and pretty overhwhelming. ​I found Jess at the beginning of my planning journey by looking through about a million portfolios online. Hers stood out by a mile when my then fiance (now husband) starting tearing up while saying, "I hope we look that happy on our day." After meeting with Jess for a consult she gave us a full outline of what our day would look like down to the hour. Even though this was a rough draft it was honestly the perfect guide that we would use throughout our whole planning process. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing we didn't have to figure it out from scratch. Along the way as the day got closer we did our engagement photos which was a blast and Jess was up for anything to make our vision reality. Which for us was running around a state park to find any leaf that was orange in early fall. Every step of the way she helped us with suggestions when we needed them. As the day got sooner we realized we needed more than just a photographer and Jess offered a bunch of amazing options. We found our coordinator through her, who we also adored. When the big day came I barely had to worry about anything knowing I had a team behind me that I could trust. Now with the wedding over and having the photos back I don't think we could've made a better decision!

Instant Request DJ Entertainment 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $985
  • Serves Waconia, MN

Instant Request DJ prides themselves on providing a service that is customized, tasteful, and fun. With their detailed and valuable online event-planning tool, couples can personalize their options to suit their individual needs. They will help answer questions and discuss options leading up to the wedding. Couples will review the entire plan of the day with their handpicked DJ. Their DJ package includes the emceeing and organizing the night of the event. With over 40 years of experience and stellar reviews they have proven themselves a reliable and award-winning company.

We have mixed feelings about our experience with Instant Request. Our experience working with the company, overall, was positive, but in retrospect, we wish we would have paid the additional cost to upgrade to a VIP DJ. That way, we could have requested our preferred DJ based on their reviews from other couples. A little over 2 weeks prior to our wedding, we were assigned our DJ and had our phone consultation with him. Our DJ was very kind, friendly, and asked us thoughtful questions about us and our wedding day, but we had multiple concerns, one of which being that he had never been to our wedding venue, especially since we were using the DJ services during the ceremony and reception, and also, we would be transitioning to a silent disco at the end of the night (as required by the venue). We could tell that our DJ really cared about our vision and logistics of the wedding day, however, our impression was that he had a reserved personality, and we requested an outgoing and energetic DJ on our preference form. Due to these concerns, I reached out to Instant Request and spoke with one of the staff, who reassured me that they would reach out to our DJ to discuss the layout and logistics of our venue with him. On the wedding day, our DJ was professional and everything went according to plan. We appreciated that he was intentional about asking each person that was giving a speech and bridal party member how to pronounce their name and facilitated the shoe game during our reception. Overall, we thought our DJ was very friendly and skilled, but would have preferred a DJ with more of an outgoing and upbeat personality. We would still hire Instant Request, but would have paid the additional cost to upgrade to a VIP DJ.

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of working with The Faux Bouquets for my wedding and couldn't be happier with their service. Their communication through email was great - they were fast, reliable, and very helpful in answering all of my questions. The faux flowers they provided looked and photographed just as if they were real, and the final product was stunning. I would highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality floral arrangements for their wedding.

Wedding and Event Videographer. Five years filming weddings as a hobby, can't believe it's turned into a career. I love capturing your memories on such an important day and turning that footage into a beautiful video to rewatch the day over and over again. To keep things simple, I offer everything in one simple affordable package. I'm there all day long and I wanna be there to capture every single moment. You'll have your videos in three weeks or less.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Britt to do our wedding video and could not have been happier with our decision! We gave him absolutely zero guidance on what we were looking for and somehow he still nailed it! He was thorough in researching the venue beforehand to make sure he got all the shots he wanted and they all turned out perfect. Honestly we barely knew he was there the whole time which is what i wanted as someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera. I’ve heard of couples having to keep redoing poses for videos but we had none of that, it was perfect. On top of all of that he was great at communicating and keeping me updated on timeline(super quick), affordable, and most of all very friendly and personable! I’d recommend Britt and his team to anyone looking for a videographer!

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

Mike was so great to work with--my guests are still telling me how fun the dance floor was and how impressed they were with the variety and selection of music. Mike knows how to keep people engaged and entertained and we loved how he mixed songs together and kept people on their toes (literally). He is very professional and accessible, and he made an amazing effort to listen to my vision of the ceremony/reception music and absolutely made my vision a reality -- more so than I thought would be possible. Thank you for making our day that much more magical!

We truly only have the best things to say about Erica and Neil and Erica Johanna Photography.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Care is at the center of our business: care for your vision, care for our product, and care for all of the people that make this dream possible. Reach out, let’s build something beautiful together!

Working with Liv was an absolute dream. We Reverie & Rose because we wanted to shop sustainably for our day. Ironically, I found her business because she was also my bridal stylist when I was wedding dress shopping. She is so incredibly knowledgeable of all things wedding. I consider myself to be a VERY anxious bride, and Liv did a fantastic job of helping me figure out exactly what I wanted. She sent us mood boards based on my vision, and zoom called us to talk through details before we paid for anything. The bouquets and boutonnières that we got were awesome. I don’t know how but the roses even felt real to the touch. Even the bees were confused and kept trying to land on our bouquets throughout the day lol! Now I have my bouquet on my dining room table, and every day when I see it, I am reminded of our wedding. I am so glad that we chose silk flowers, and I would recommend Reverie & Rose to every bride. Thank you Liv!
