Tiffany worked with us to get some truly unique and thoughtful shots that perfectly captured the spirit of our relationship. The final photos were professional, high-quality, and unique to us. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Stargazer Designs 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

I started Stargazer Designs in 2004 after seeing a need for a designer to create wedding day looks. As a decorator I am able to provide an eye for where décor and flowers can be placed to best utilize the space and make the most impact. With most couples on a budget for a wedding you need to decide where your money will be best spent based on what's important to you. Having been in the floral business for over 30 years gives me the experience to offer you different options to achieve your dream wedding!

Michelle and her team brought our Whimsical Fairy Tale wedding theme to life in a way we could’ve never imagined. From florals to magical touches throughout the venue, every element was stunning. When we stepped into the ceremony and reception spaces, we were in tears — it was absolutely perfect. Special shoutout for the gorgeous floral lapel boutonnière — it added the perfect pop and personal flair. Michelle is a visionary and a joy to work with, especially if you’re getting married at The Gardens of Castle Rock!

Studio Veil - Videography

  • Videographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Your wedding video captures your day and allows you to relive it in a way that photos just can’t. You have spent countless hours and days planning every detail. You’ve poured money into making sure that everything will be just right. But the truth is: when the big day finally comes, it’ll feel like it’s over in a flash. There will be parts you barely remember and moments you missed entirely. While photography is great at capturing moments, videography helps you to travel back in time and experience them again.

I've had the pleasure of working with Studio Veil - Videography on several occasions through TCWEP, and I can confidently say they are a top-notch vendor. Their communication style is clear and easy to follow, also listens well and collaborates to bring the project to life. The quality of their work is excellent, with professional, timely service. The recorded sound is spot-on, and the lighting and camera positioning for their video projects are simply stunning. Ryan and the team at Studio Veil are reliable, responsive, and go above and beyond to exceed expectations. I highly recommend them for any of your videography needs.

Let’s get this out of the way, yes, Angela Divine is my real name. My grandmother was Divina, she passed the name Divine onto my mom, and my mom passed it onto me. Maybe it stems from my untraditional name, but I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. In my younger years, I never fit it in, and I didn’t find my people until I stopped trying and embraced what makes me weird. I love celebrating the unique with my photography, which is why I work best with those who want their photos to be truly authentic and one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing your vision, and what makes your story so unique.

Class Act, Inc.

  • DJ
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Class Act is ready to make your day special and exceed your expectations. Check out our website and see all the by bundling discounts which will save you hundreds. You can talk to one person and plan your ceremony with our Officants and the rest of the day Class Act providing an MC/Party Coordinator with a Dj. One call, one person to plan with simple, easy and fun. Now that is Amazing

My finance’ had seen Class act at another family wedding, but it was before my time. He talked very highly about how much fun they were, but I still needed to be convinced. So we talked to them and then interviewed them and then it was very easy to decide that they were the right people for us. One of the things they let us know right off the bat was that they were working for us and even though other family members might have some ideas they would give us the final say in all matters relative to our big day. So we started out with their wedding officiant and DJ for an outdoor wedding. We wanted short, sweet and simple while having some amount of levity and romance and they delivered. The ceremony we just right. We then progressed to our social hour and dinner. Class Act moved the sound system they used for the ceremony in the outdoor dining area while keeping the larger system set up inside with the bar and dance area. The announcements came over both systems so that everyone could be part of the experience. At the diner we did some kissing games where the guests needed to entertain us and we judged their performance with the kiss. Everyone was laughing the whole time. They released tables and escorted the guests to the indoor buffet table. I cannot remember all the fun things that went on during dinner, but my guests really embraced the experience. Once the dinner was all done Class Act had the guests make two lines and we walked between them from the outside dinner tables to the dance floor then they all flowed in to watch us. We felt so special and supported. It was also brilliant because it got all the people into the dance area and the dance took off like a flash. So we danced all night it was and amazing time. Too bad I only get to do this once. Maybe we will have to have an Anniversary party. Olivia and Sam

Hello! 139 Hair by Heidi is my boutique bridal hair and makeup company. I've been creating updos my whole life and did my very first wedding over 19 years ago. After a few years by myself, I started growing my team. I now have an intimate group of artists who are extremely talented.

As a 2020 COVID bride I've changed my wedding plans 4 times already. My husband and I eloped on our original wedding date but are still planning a party for 2021 when hopefully things are a little safer. Heidi was so incredibly supportive through all the turmoil and always responded to my emails promptly and with empathy. She was able to work with me to change plans last minute and be there with a makeup artist to help me get ready for our backyard elopement. My look held up to sweat, rain, and tears and I could not have been happier with the results. Heidi is talented, warm, and responsive - absolutely everything you want in a wedding vendor. I cannot wait to work with her again when we can eventually have our larger wedding celebration.

Mel Schroeder Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

Cassaundra Cherney Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! Cassaundra was very communicative on her schedule, needs and working with us on what vibes we wanted for the wedding. She shot our engagement, photos after and our wedding day! Cassaundra went so far as to hide under a boat to keep the engagement photos a surprise. The wedding photos were absolutely beautiful, and she went above and beyond for service and helpfulness throughout the day. Cassaundra is so easy to work with and makes the space relaxed. She has a background in event planning, so she understands the ins and outs of a wedding day and can communicate effectively with everyone - family, staff, other vendors and more. She was a true professional and a delight to have for our special day!

Nick Hyde DJ @ Violinist

  • DJ
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Nick Hyde combines the classical elegance of the violin with the sound of a modern DJ. Couples don't have to choose between a DJ and live music, because with Nick Hyde they get both! Nick Hyde is a play-by-ear musician, meaning he can play any song you'd commonly hear at a wedding or on the dance floor, and can easily learn any requests. There's no hassle with sheet music, music stands, or anything else. Want to walk down the aisle, or have your first dance listening to a violinist playing along to your chosen song? That’s what Nick Hyde, DJ & Violinist does best.

We booked the "All-Day Music Package" because we loved the idea of a violinist for "Bridgerton" vibes during the ceremony, and we loved that Nick was able to be both a DJ & violinist. One thing I also loved were his lights - We could tell they were synced to the music, and at one point, during "Party in the USA", the lights were an American flag pattern, which was so cool! Very detail oriented, very organized, and very responsive to all the questions I had (I had a lot... sorry Nick ;)) unlike some of my other vendors. Highly recommend him

She was essential in helping us nail down a timeline that maximized our priorities but also resulted in an incredible variety of photos that perfectly captured the day. We ended up with so many photos we loved that our moms scheduled a day to reminisce on the wedding and go back through the pics together. Everything 10/10, can't recommend enough!

Hey! I'm Janet. I'm a photographer/videographer based in the Twin Cities, specializing in elopements and intimate weddings. I document couples who are unapologetically themselves and want to do things their way - even if that's out of the ordinary.

I'll start by saying that I'm not typically comfortable in front of the camera and was worried about that going into our engagement shoot. However, Janet did a great job of listening to me and checking in throughout the session to see how I was doing - her communication and ability to adapt put me at ease! Janet is so fun and if you aren't friends with her already, you will be by the end of the session. On top of that, she is professional and talented at what she does and wants nothing more than to capture the true essence of people. We couldn't be happier with how our engagement photos turned out!!

We specialize in making each wedding day as unique as it is memorable with thoughtful details and personal touches.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary and we are still talking about the impact Lily and HappiLily Events had on our wedding day. We were, at times, planning across 3 different time zones and Lily made the whole process seamless. She kept us organized, accountable, and focused on our vision. We had some wild ideas (and frequently fluctuating vision) and she met us exactly where we were at every time - either making our dreams possible or walking us off the ledge when we really started to spiral, never pressuring us to be anyone but us. When she says “best friend-level support”, she means it. We always thoroughly enjoyed getting on planning calls with her because she made everything stress-free and fun! Lily goes above and beyond for her clients, always incredibly thoughtful and intentional with how she supports you throughout the process, day of and even the day after! We can not recommend HappiLily Events enough, our day was perfect and Lily was a huge reason for that. Pick Lily!!

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!

On the big day, everything went smoothly - my partner and I could relax and enjoy the moment knowing that everything was in great hands. She took care of every little detail, from coordinating vendors to keeping the timeline on track. It felt like magic! I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone who will truly make their wedding day unforgettable.
