Sammy was an absolute rockstar! Choosing her as our day-of-coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From helping us nail down all the details to being the calm, reassuring voice we needed the day of, she was excellent! I wasn't quite sure I would need a day-of-coordinator since I'm very organized and DIY-oriented, but boy am I glad we did. Being able to spend the day relaxed knowing that Sammy had everything taken care of was a godsend. And, on top of it all, she's a joy to be around. I would recommend Sammy to anyone getting married.

I’m Ashley- owner and lead planner of New Paige Planning! I began my business after the realization of how much I enjoyed planning my own destination wedding & REPLANNING after postponing due to COVID. I understand what it takes to make your dream wedding a reality.

Ashley and Riley came into our planning process at exactly the right time — when we were feeling completely overwhelmed with all that goes into planning a wedding, even as someone who loves to plan and has a project management background. From our first call, they brought a sense of calm, clarity, and joy that truly helped me feel supported and seen. They were incredible partners in building a timeline that somehow our wedding actually stuck to, even with two ceremonies, multiple outfit changes for the entire wedding party, and plenty of moving parts throughout the day. We look back on the weekend and honestly feel like everything went so smoothly. Even with the extreme heat and any behind-the-scenes hiccups that may have happened, I didn’t notice a thing — because they handled it all with so much grace and professionalism. Beyond their skills as planners and coordinators, Ashley and Riley truly felt like our wedding besties — they were kind, warm, and genuinely excited for us every step of the way. we cannot recommend them enough. If you’re lucky enough to have them on your wedding team, you’ll be in the very best hands.

  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,000

After 15 years in natural resources management, I followed my true passion: floral design. Now as a Certified Floral Designer (CFD), I create elevated, meaningful arrangements that reflect your style and story. Known for creativity, attention to detail, and a calm, professional approach, I specialize in weddings and events that leave a lasting impression. When I’m not designing, I teach yoga and enjoy life with my husband and our golden retriever. Life’s too short not to do what makes you happy—mine is crafting florals that celebrate life’s best moments.

As a fellow wedding florist, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jessica at Cedar Rae Floral, and I can confidently say she is a true talent and a joy to work alongside. From the moment she steps on site—always early, prepared, and calm—she brings a sense of ease and professionalism that instantly puts couples and vendors at peace. Jessica’s communication is clear, warm, and reliable, making the planning process feel seamless from start to finish. Her designs are elevated, intentional, and artfully crafted, with a level of detail that reflects her deep care for each couple’s story. Every piece she creates feels personal and thoughtfully executed, from bouquets to installations. One standout moment was the floral mantel she designed for the head table at the reception. It completely transformed the space, framing the couple beautifully and giving them a romantic, unforgettable backdrop for their dinner and toasts. Cedar Rae Floral is a true gift to the wedding community, and I feel lucky to have shared a creative space with someone as talented and genuine as Jessica.

Glow with Dej

Apple Valley, MN
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $400

Hello, my name is Dejanira and I am a Twin Cities makeup artist. Something that separates me from the rest is that my style is very natural and radiant. When people think of natural they think light coverage but that is not the case. I provide the coverage you want but the finished look will not appear to be layers upon layers. What you and others will see is healthy glowing look, it will feel as if you are barely wearing anything at all. My goal is to have you look in the mirror and notice that it still looks like you but with a little extra glam.

I have to say if you want natural looks and beautiful hair to match, this place is the best all in one. My skin never looked better and it was everything I could have ever wanted. I highly recommend them for whatever you may need, especially for your wedding.

Not only is she extremely talented, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She flew in for our big day despite having just lost two family members. When people entered my hotel room to find us chatting whilst I was in the "makeup chair", they asked us how we had met each other and how long we had been friends! :) That is the kind of warmth she exudes.

"We had our wedding on Oct 3rd, 2025 at a new barn venue in Northern minnesota, Northwoods Events. It was VERY remote. Many other DJs said no, they either wouldnt do it, couldn't. Or their prices were 4k to 6k. Enter DJ Sound Productions. Our DJ was Luke! Our ceremony was in the middle of no where! They had the speakers with wireless mics for amazing sound out in the woods! The woods! It was our dream ceremony and location and they made it happen. When this went sideways with the time line, our DJ got things going, he played every song we requested, and guests stayed longer than expected! They were VERY thorough in the planning, and our final meeting put it all together! What an amazing experience and the ability to bring it all together by our DJ and this company, thats priceless, but they did it at an affordable price for us. Every penny is worth it and we are forever grateful!"

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Kaleigh brought a calm, steady presence that allowed us to feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Looking through our photos, we’re struck not only by how beautiful they are, but by how genuinely they reflect the emotion and atmosphere of the day. Kaleigh has an incredible ability to capture quiet, meaningful moments alongside joyful movement and celebration. The natural light, thoughtful composition, and attention to detail give our photos a timeless quality that feels effortless rather than staged. Every image feels intentional and true to how the day actually felt. What truly set Kaleigh apart, though, was her professionalism and composure. We experienced a few unexpected moments during our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and discretion. If it affected her at all, she never let it show - and even more importantly, she made sure we never felt it. Her calm presence allowed us to stay fully present, which meant more than we can put into words. Kaleigh was attentive without ever being intrusive, supportive without drawing attention, and deeply respectful of the emotions of the day. These photographs don’t just document our wedding they absolutely preserve the feeling of it. We are incredibly grateful for her care, artistry, and professionalism, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for photographs that feel both refined and deeply personal.

From sunrise to sunset, we had the best views at Abella. There isn’t one bad place on that venue - all areas are gorgeous so it made my photographers job VERY easy! Our guests (all 285 of them) had nothing but great things to say to us during and after our wedding about the venue — the various locations we could be on the property was a huge game changer! The Abella staff was also so great to work with. This was obviously my first time planning a wedding, so I really had no idea what I was doing. They, along with my other vendors, made it INCREDIBLY easy to allow me to find my feet during this planning process. Thank you to everyone at the Abella staff that helped along the way! Megan, Blaine, Jordan, Gina, our amazing bartenders, and all the other behind the scenes staff…thank you!!

Best Man Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding. A great DJ at a great price. Paul, the owner, is extremely accommodating and easy to work with. He was so eager to meet our every request and need. He went above and beyond the day of our reception, and we could not be happier with how things went. If I had to book a DJ again I would absolutely choose Best Man Entertainment.
