A Ran Music Service 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Columbia Heights, MN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200

At A Ran Music Service, we solve our clients’ biggest worry: “But, will my guests dance?” We dance guests out! Even those reluctant “non-dancers” will be compelled to join the dance floor for the entire evening, never looking for their seat again, and “living it up” on that dance floor the entire night. We’re music lovers and musicians- we know a thing or two about composing a captivating and irresistible playlist that incorporates personal song selections into your unique event.

A Ran Music Service was a solid choice for our wedding entertainment. Their communication style was prompt, warm and friendly, though we did have some issues with emails not coming through consistently from their Honeybook account, so we had to regularly check their online client portal to stay updated. The quality of their work and value was good overall - they had a huge library of songs to choose from and the song edits they provided were great. However, the music they played was largely at one tempo, which caused some of our guests to get a bit tired on the dance floor after a while. On the plus side, their great sound setup made for easy transitions from our outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception. Overall, A Ran Music Service helped make our special day a success and we’d book them again!

She clearly took the time to understand our vision and priorities for the big day. On the wedding day itself, Devyn braved the cold winter weather to capture stunning outdoor photos that perfectly reflected the cozy, romantic atmosphere of our winter wedding.

She was so organized, truly cared about my entire experience, was so enthusiastic and fun to be around, and she made me feel so beautiful! The day before blowout made sure my hair was prepped for the next day gave me beautiful hair for our rehearsal dinner! Of course the actual hair and makeup on your wedding day is extremely important but your artist is going to be there for multiple hours of your day so the personality of your artist is just as important in my opinion! Not only is McKinzee unbelievably talented but she just brings such an amazing and fun energy! She felt like a friend! She did exactly what I asked for and did the perfect hair and makeup for my features! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

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.

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.

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.

Been working weddings at the refuge for over 19 years. Hands down my favorite place to work with. The staff and food are as good as it get's. They will bend over backwords for you to make all your needs met. The place is beautiful like a ski lodge in Aspen with amazing place's for picture's and sunset. I have seen a bride change her mind 4 times before the ceremony on where to do it because of rain. The staff had all the chairs and wiped down and moved in under 13 minutes. Yes we moved 189 guest's 3 times in under 30 minutes because that is what the bride wanted on her day was outside. Sun came out and it rocked, and all we did was cut into 25 minutes of social hour. I could tell you stories for days and not one of them are bad. Joe, Krista and Lisa and the rest of the staff work very hard to make your wedding day everything you dreamed of. LUKE

Megan absolutely knocked it out of the park. She understood my vision and delivered florals that were absolutely swoon worthy. She was able to put together flowers that blended texture and color in a way that was simply perfection. She was also budget conscious throughout the process (we reused/repurposed bridesmaids bouquets) which I really appreciated. I think the photos speak for themselves. I would recommend working with Megan again and again. She is a lovely person to talk to and a dream to work with!

Autumn G Photography is a journalistic style wedding photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am all about romantic photojournalism that captures authentic moments and beautiful portraits that truly tell the story of your day. I believe that everyone should get beautiful wedding photos. I will help create a detailed timeline of your day with quick turnaround time for images, and also offer an online gallery. I do have flexible payment plans available, making it even easier to book one of your most important vendors!

Our story is a little complicated. I am actually the mother of the groom. Both groom and bride are serving in the military overseas at 2 different bases. Between them, the bride's mother and I, we were dealing with planning a wedding with 4 different time zones. They asked me to find a photographer, which was in a different time zone from me (2 hours difference). I reached out to three photographers online, and Autumn was the only one to respond. Autumn was very helpful from the start. She was patient in dealing with all the different time zones, the busy-ness of military life, and even some procrastination on the part of the bride and groom. She helped develop a timeline for the pictures, but was flexible, making is easy to regroup and still get all the special pictures. She made sure to print out the questionnaire regarding certain desired photos so that none were missed. My son and daughter-in-law are thrilled with the pictures that Autumn captured. Even I’m still trying to choose which ones I want to print and which ones I want to make into an album. This leads me to one more thing that I love about Autumn. Our pictures are ours. We are not required to choose only a certain number of pictures, and then pay more if we want above and beyond. That was a huge plus in my book. I highly recommend Autumn for your wedding photography needs.

Wish I could give this venue an even higher rating!! The owners, Brad and Louise Madison, are truly two of the most kind and genuine people you will ever meet. They are extremely easy to work with and will do anything to make your day go perfectly! Our wedding was last Friday and Brad and Louise made sure everything went smoothly and was stress-free. Plus the venue is absolutely gorgeous, which is a result of how much passion and hard work these two have put into it! If you are looking for a venue with owners that truly care about getting to know you and making your day special, then this is the place!
