We are a MN based wedding day of coordination business owned by two sisters who are here to help you celebrate your best day ever both feeling stress free and blissful! We began this small business in 2021 and have enjoyed our side gig ever since!

Katie and Jennifer were so helpful on the wedding day. It took one meeting and maybe 3 text messages to figure out the game plan for the day and they were the perfect addition to our day that I honestly didn’t know I needed. The small details of moving the guest book, cleaning up decor and running ceremony music made life so much easier and nobody had to worry about anything! From someone who works the event industry, these two you can tell have a passion to help others and know exactly how to help make your day special.

I have been a planner/coordinator and decorator for 13 years. I used to do weddings and parties as my side hussle but as of January, 2022, I have made this my full time business! I have several awesome ladies that work with me as well so you are in good hands!

I was VERY hesitant to book Amber and have her take over our wedding... I am a a bit of a control freak and I love a little DIY. Amber took all of my inspiration and made it a reality. She was so great to have the day of so my new husband and I could sit back and enjoy our day. She was there to take all of the questions and keep things organized. I would absolutely recommend booking her!

Ashley Lewis Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,699
  • Serves Appleton, MN

Thanks to divine intervention (*aka a super smart older sister), I decided to take a photography class in high school. Who knew that single class was going to drastically change my path. I pursued photography in college, along with getting my business degree, because I knew that I wanted to start a business that would allow me to be who I am and serve others in a way that honored that. Since then, I have photographed 80+ weddings, 100+ seniors and countless families. It has been such an incredible journey.

Ashley was so easy to works with. She was very flexible and responded quickly to any and all communication. We will forever cherish our beautiful wedding photos. My husband and I aren't very touchy-feely and he DOES NOT like the camera, Ashley made it fun and effortless to be ourselves. She posed us in ways that we looked and felt natural and comfortable for photos!

First of all, congratulations! Getting married is such an amazing time in your life -- It's my job to make sure your photos are just as amazing as you two are! I am Karie. The smile-loving, big dreamer, adventurous, go-getter gal behind the camera. For me, photography is a way to cherish some of life’s happiest moments. I work closely with you to create heartfelt keepsakes of your special day. I aim to capture all the sincere smiles of your wedding celebration. I believe that the best photographs are those that are genuine and filled with real emotion.

Karie photographed our wedding in September of 2024 and I was absolutely blown away and impressed with how amazing the pictures turned out. Both she and her second shooter were an absolute pleasure to work with and were so professional throughout the day. Communication was easy and expectations were clear on both sides. I am so so thankful that I will have such beautiful photos to look back on and remember our wedding day. She really made the venue look like something out of this beautiful fantasy world or professional magazine.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Appleton, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided amazing and quick communication throughout the process. The flowers arrived beautifully and they provided plenty of instructions to help keep them looking their best. While I ended up ordering way too much due to not making as many arrangements as I had anticipated, the blue flowers they provided were absolutely stunning and really contributed to the beautiful floral design and color palette on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Flower Moxie to any couple looking for a reliable and high-quality DIY wedding florals option.

Hands down, the best investment we could have made for our wedding was hiring SEG. Especially since we were trying to plan a wedding in Chicago from Florida, we were lost in starting this journey. Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything. You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail that was given on the actual day and the curated timeline made it all seamless and gave us the opportunity to actually take in and enjoy the whole day with family and friends! We could write a book about how magical and perfect every aspect of the wedding turned out, how valued we felt over the planning process, or even how Alex went out of her way to make sure that the little details happened that you look back on now and deeply appreciate but it still wouldn't be enough to repay her for curating the wedding that we dreamed of.

Use The Faux Bouquets! I know there are a lot of options out there for faux florals, but this company really stands out. Absolutely gorgeous selections. We chose one of the more basic options because of our color scheme but there were so many more stunning, fun and colorful options out there as well! We used them for the bouquets and boutonnieres and it made life so easy. No need to worry about the flowers staying alive or getting water stains on your dresses. We had everything in bins ready to go before wedding day. Great pricing. The bouquets are so full and you can see the thought that goes into choosing the colors, type, and placement of each flower. The company communication is quick, kind, informative, and they are just all around amazing!

We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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.
