The Gardens Of Castle Rock was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the staff was prompt in their communication, honest about what was included, and genuinely cared about making our day special. The venue itself was immaculate - clean, organized, and absolutely beautiful. They were incredibly helpful, ensuring my vendors had everything they needed to execute our vision flawlessly. Even two years later, my family and friends still rave about the fun they had at the Gardens.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

  • Caterer

  • Serves Carver, MN

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region since 1982. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really enjoyed working with Divine Swine for our wedding! They had a large menu with lots of options. I would definitely recommend booking a tasting with them to choose which items you like because we were surprised at which ones we ended up choosing. The food was even better at the wedding than at the tasting, and it seemed like our guests really liked it. We enjoyed getting to take home all of the leftovers too! We live out of state, and they were super flexible and quick to respond. Great customer service!

Hi there! I'm Candi, the owner and lead floral designer at Candi's Precious Petals. Based in Rosemount, MN, we are a family-owned home-based floral studio. With over 20 years of experience, I create elegant floral designs that add class to every event. As a mother of five, I bring dedication and love to every arrangement. Specializing in weddings, I work closely with couples to bring their floral visions to life, ensuring every detail is perfect. We believe flowers express love, joy, and celebration. Thank you for considering us for your floral needs. I look forward to bringing your floral dreams to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am absolutely obsessed with how my wedding flowers turned out! After just one meeting with Candi she understood my vision and brought it to life better than I even imagined. She was fantastic with communication and was very accommodating with my color specificity. The flowers lasted perfectly, even though it was a hot and humid day. The magnet boutonnieres were the only exception, this may have been because of the flowers being too heavy for that style. She was last minute willing and able to accommodate dropping off personal flowers at a nearby location before setting up the arrangements at the church. Candi is very talented at arranging florals and compiling the most beautiful flower combinations.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first time we spoke, Danielle at Studio Delphianblue demonstrated her commitment to capturing our wedding perfectly. She was very easy to communicate with, and answered any questions we had. 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.

Sydney was a DREAM!! My husband and I both agree that hiring Sydney was hands down the best decision we made while planning our entire wedding. She and her amazing assistant (Bridget) made sure the day ran smoothly and we stayed on schedule as much as possible. Sydney was so available and responsive during the month leading up to our wedding, and she connected with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. I felt like I had no clue what was happening behind the scenes on my wedding day- in the best possible way. I was able to be present and trust that Sydney and Bridget were on top of everything!

Lush. Intentional. Unforgettable. Cedar Rae Floral is a custom wedding and event floral studio led by Jessica Schaum, Certified Floral Designer. My arboriculture background means I create arrangements with real depth and movement—they're alive, not flat. They'll look stunning from every angle and hold up all day. We start with a consultation where I listen to your vision, then design something built specifically around you. Serving the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

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.

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!

I believe the best wedding days are built on preparation, communication, and trust long before the day ever arrives. We’ll walk through everything together, your priorities, your timeline, and the moments that matter most to you. I’ll handle the organization, gently guide the flow of the day, and make sure everything is thoughtfully covered so you can relax and truly enjoy it with the people you love. On the wedding day, my approach is both joyful and intentional. I’m there to celebrate alongside you, notice the quiet in-between moments, and create a calm, seamless experience so you can stay fully present from start to finish.

Having Leah as our photographer was a wonderful experience! She is a creative visionary, willing to take the time needed to produce beautiful photos that you will treasure for a lifetime. She was professional, kind, and so easy to relate to. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!

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 are so glad he was part of our day and would absolutely recommend him!

We had two receptions for our wedding and Todd and his staff at Stillwater Event Center handled both flawlessly. Our first celebration was at a park during the day, and then we held our evening reception at their venue, and both events went off without a hitch. Todd was responsive to our texts and got back to us within a day whenever we had questions, which made planning stress-free. The food was outstanding and the service from their team was attentive without being intrusive. The venue itself is beautiful and the pricing is fair with no hidden fees.

Ariel did amazing job of making us feel comfortable and prepared for both the engagement shoot and the wedding day she was more than just a photographer. She was placing boutonnieres and bustling dresses getting families together for photos and made everything seamless. We got our sneak peek photos within 8 hours of our wedding, so super exciting to be able to use them the next day. Photos are one of the most important things from your wedding I would say, and Ariel understands that and creates beautiful work for us to admire forever. ( ill attach one of our favorites)

Keighla's Fresh Face Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Carver, MN

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Keighla was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I stumbled upon her work online and was immediately struck by how beautifully composed her photos were—full of texture, light, and balance that felt intentional and artful without ever feeling staged. From our very first interaction, she was reassuring, organized, and professional in a way that gave me so much confidence. Her packages were transparent, flexible, and thoughtfully designed—we especially loved that our engagement session was included (and turned out so beautifully, we used the photos everywhere from our wedding website to table decor). The engagement session was the first time we met her in person, and it confirmed everything I hoped: Keighla just gets it. She understood our vibe and the space we chose and made us feel instantly comfortable. I left that day already trusting her vision. On the wedding day, that trust only deepened. She was incredibly sensitive to some personal family dynamics and made sure my husband and I always felt prioritized and seen. Her timeline suggestions kept the day flowing naturally—and far better than the original version we’d created. Once the formal portraits were done, she practically disappeared into the background, capturing so many candid moments with grace and creativity. We had ping pong and pickleball at our reception (not exactly easy to photograph), and somehow she caught those fast-paced moments with such clarity and joy—they’re some of our favorite images. Receiving our gallery was like getting to live the day all over again. The turnaround was quick, and the photos moved us deeply. I’m usually reserved and self-conscious, but she made me look and feel beautiful. Even images from parts of the reception I missed feel like precious windows into moments I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. One favorite: a photo of my cousin mid-return in a wild ping pong rally. Another: everyone admiring the back of my dress. And I’ll never forget the idea to take portraits in front of a blooming crab apple tree—it’s led us to keep a sick tree in our own backyard, just because those blossoms now mean so much to us. Keighla is an exceptional blend of artist and professional. Her time management, communication, and people skills are as strong as her creative vision. If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding in a way that feels personal, artistic, and truly you, I can’t recommend her enough. She doesn’t just take wedding photos—she tells the story.

Leading up to the big day I had several great meeting with Ackin Events to help prepare me and make sure we were on the same page. It really took a lot of weight off my shoulders knowing I could work with a professional on timeline, decor and so much more! The day-of ran smoothly and was GORGEOUS thanks to Sammy and her team. They put in so much work to make sure every detail was perfect. I know that Sammy truly cared about me as a person and wanted to ensure the best day for my partner and I!

Katie is amazing to work with for bridal hair! She was so helpful with me deciding on the best style for my wedding day. She is very professional and so fun to work with. She did my bridal party of more than 8 people and everyone loved their hair. I got my hair done at 10:30 and it still looked amazing at midnight when our reception ended. She is a great listener and wants you to have the best experience. I would recommend Katie to anyone for their wedding day!

Plain and simple, we just love being a part of your love story! We love to hear how you met and live the greatest day of your lives, thus far, with you! We love to make memories and have them to help you relive even the smallest details of your day, over and over again.

From our first conversation, we knew Agape Moments was the right choice for us. Kelly has been part of our journey for years—capturing everything from our engagement to our kids to our wedding day—and she truly felt like family on our big day. Her communication was always quick and thoughtful, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The photos are stunning and honestly worth every penny. When I look through our wedding album, I get to relive the entire day, moment by moment. Multiple guests reached out asking who photographed our wedding because Kelly did such an incredible job capturing not just the events, but the real feeling of who we are as a couple.
