The Kayla Effect 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $80
  • Serves Castlewood, SD

The Kayla Effect was born from a passion for art. I have always loved using the gifts God has given me. From drawing with pencils, to acrylics, to selling masterpieces of oil paintings, now to enhancing beauty with makeup! As a professional makeup artist, I believe makeup is more than products. It's seeing the look on brides faces when they look in the mirror after my glam. It's the conversations, and bringing a sense of peace to the bride on what might be a day full of nerves. It's finding and enhancing the individuality and uniqueness of each and every person that sits in my chair. I love my job, and I hope you will love your makeup!

Working with The Kayla Effect was such a smooth experience from start to finish. Kayla made me and my bridesmaids feel so comfortable while getting us ready, and her communication throughout the planning process was straightforward and reassuring. What I loved most was how natural everything looked—the makeup was exactly what I'd envisioned for my wedding day. She stayed on schedule and got through all of us without any rushing or stress. The quality of her work was amazing, and I felt beautiful and confident all day long. I'd absolutely recommend The Kayla Effect to any bride looking for a makeup artist that's both skilled and genuinely easy to work with.

The day of our wedding she was there on time and kept us that way all day. She was professional a d had great, creative ideas for one of a kind photos. She is absolutely amazing at capturing those little moments during a shoot that arent always planned but just fill your heart with Joy. We will Continue working with Keely for years to come.

Their experience really showed when they helped us with the space layout and design ideas.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Castlewood, SD

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
This is the second time I’ve ordered from Flower Moxie, and they did not disappoint. My first order, for my wedding, was absolutely flawless. My second order, for my baby shower, was nearly perfect—only one type of flower arrived damaged. Thankfully, Liz was on top of it. She responded promptly, handled the situation professionally, and made things right. I really appreciated her excellent customer service. Overall, I had another great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to order from Flower Moxie again - the flowers stayed fresh for about a week after the event as well! Thank you to the team and props to Liz for amazing customer service!

I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

Hey there!! My name is Alexis and I'm so glad you're here. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

I had Alexis (and Sam) photograph my wedding at the Avalon Events Center on 6/13. She was awesome every step of the way, from having a huge bag of wedding kit items, helping pose and manage family for photos, and coming up with ideas for photos to make use of the large gap of time we had between the ceremony and the grand march. I don't think I saw her and Sam put down their cameras the entire 8 hours they were there on that day, so I'm excited to get the full gallery of photos! She was also able to rush us out for some awesome sunset photos when we only had a few minutes to get them. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Her price is extremely reasonable for the great quality of service and photos she provides.

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!

Every time they looked at each other, I felt my heart swell. The ceremony was short but incredibly moving. The bride’s smile was radiant, and the groom’s excitement was palpable. There were small, intimate moments that made the whole day feel personal and meaningful. The reception was filled with laughter, dancing, and endless joy. Even strangers in the room felt the energy of their connection. I left thinking about how love can truly transform a day into something unforgettable. That night will stay with me forever.
