Gathered Garden Floral Design was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was great - they really listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand my vision. The quality of their work and value was astonishing. They completely planned out my flowers when I had no idea what I wanted, and the final result was even better than I could have imagined. I didn't have to worry about a single thing when it came to the florals, as I trusted Tracy and let her take the reins. The moment I saw our reception hall decorated, I was blown away - their work is seriously amazing and Tracy clearly loves what she does. She went way above and beyond what I expected, and many of my friends have had the same incredible experience using Gathered Garden Floral Design.

Kaitie was the most impressive vendor we worked with on our wedding day! Her videography package truly includes the entire day! She showed up early to get incredible drone shots of our venue site, and stayed late to capture all the fun during our reception. She also brought a second shooter for no additional charge to make sure she fully documented our day. She has an eye for artistry and beautifully captured every detail. You don’t only get a 10-minute trailer, but you get to relive your ceremony in its entirety and full feature film of your day as a whole. I’m in tears being able to relive the most magical day of our lives anytime we want, and I am so excited to make this viewing a part of our anniversary tradition each year!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families). Studio Delphianblue was founded in 2013 and is a fully woman-owned company based out of Burnsville MN. We DO travel outside of the Twin Cities metro area! I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

We didn’t know exactly what we wanted at first, but she asked all the right things to help us create a vision and guide us through it. She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.

Lush. Intentional. Unforgettable. Cedar Rae Floral is a custom wedding and event floral studio led by Jessica Schaum, Certified Floral Designer.

Maurissa was without a doubt the BEST DECISION we made for our wedding day! I literally cannot say enough good things to do her and her services justice. Even our whole wedding party and family that interacted with Maurissa throughout wedding day have also shared how awesome she was. She was fantastic from the moment we had our first introduction – she was so communicative and reassuring and worked with us to make sure we knew everything about Mind of Mo services prior to booking. That first impression is what helped us make our choice with booking her, and boy-oh-boy did she follow-through more than we could have imagined! Maurissa was also extremely patient with me - as a Type A Bride, I had sent her a lengthy list of desired photos prior to wedding day. I joked that it was a lot and she made me feel like it was totally normal. I know now that I never had to do this because her vision was magical - our favorite and featured photo is from our Sneak Peeks and was all her! What you want in a photographer is not only someone who will capture amazing photos, but also someone who will guide you through your wedding day. This is the person you will have the most interaction with all day long. Maurissa made the day fun, breezy, and even when we did have those anticipated mishaps occur (we knew there’d be at least one) she swooped in and literally saved the day. I am not being dramatic – my false eyelashes fell off not once but TWICE. The first time was right before my first look with my husband which caused a delay in our Timeline, and Maurissa flawlessly pivoted to make sure we stayed on track with time while they were re-glued onto my face. Then the second time the eyelashes came off, it was Maurissa herself who stepped up to the plate to make sure those babies were glued on right before I walked down the aisle. In this moment of panic for me, Maurissa had a confidence and calm demeanor that quickly put me at ease (and those eyelashes didn’t move again the whole night). On top of everything, our wedding was also on the far East side of Michigan, and Maurissa is based in Minnesota. We are extremely thankful that her services were offered at this distance! Our Sneak Peek photos are STUNNING and we are so excited to see the rest of them when they are ready!

We booked through Steve upfront and he was so terrific to work with on initial arrangements. Our DJ, Drew, was absolutely fantastic! He handled both our ceremony and reception music, and everything was seamless from start to finish. The ceremony music was perfect, the timing was exactly right, and he helped create the exact feeling we wanted for the day. He used my Spotify playlists as inspiration for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour music, so those moments felt completely like us and set the perfect vibe from the beginning. For the reception, he did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy going, and making sure everything flowed without us ever having to worry about what was happening next. One of the things we appreciated most was how much he cared about making the day personal. He worked behind the scenes with our officiant and friends on a few surprises, and those little moments ended up meaning so much to us. We wanted our wedding to feel relaxed, personal, and like a true celebration with our favorite people, and Drew played such a big part in creating that atmosphere.

"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.

Our venue had beautiful architecture and Nicole did a great job taking advantage of the incredible backdrop. She was easy to work with and had our pics ready two weeks after the wedding. I have a photography background so my bar on our wedding pics was pretty high. Nicole over achieved.

DJ Services By Paul Young 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $695
  • Serves Big Lake, MN

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

DJ Services By Paul Young was an excellent choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Paul was prompt, informative and friendly, putting us at ease about the music and entertainment for our big day. On the wedding day, Paul's flexibility and great timing kept the party going all night. Even though we didn't have a big wedding, DJ Paul still managed to give us an amazing celebration that our guests are still talking about. We highly recommend DJ Services By Paul Young for any couple looking for a talented DJ who will work with you to make your wedding reception unforgettable. (Clouds in photo added for privacy)

Loved their personalities. Made the experience feel effortless and fun. My husband and I don’t typically love photographs of ourselves and although we haven’t received our final photographs, we got to see some along the way, and let’s just say we can’t wait to see the rest!! We are so glad we decided to use them for our special day.

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies
