Jennifer Christi Photo & Video was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was timely, easy, transparent, and they were always flexible from start to finish. The quality of their work was truly professional, efficient, intentional and excellent. This team made our day so much fun and felt like we were hanging out with friends. They listened to exactly what we wanted, were great at communicating, and were also very detailed which we really appreciated so there was nothing overlooked. They even went above and beyond when some family members didn't show on time for pictures, taking them a little bit later which we didn't expect but very much appreciated. The results were everything we hoped for and then some! We would definitely recommend Jennifer Christi Photo & Video to any couple planning their wedding.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about The Venue at Copper Ridge! From beginning to end, our experience was absolutely incredible. The venue itself is gorgeous and was everything we could have hoped for, but what truly makes this place so special are Angie and Rob Anderson. They are AMAZING. They made the entire experience so easy and stress-free, and we genuinely felt like we didn’t have a single thing to worry about. From 10 months before our wedding all the way through the very end of our wedding night, Angie and Rob were there for us every step of the way. They made sure every detail was taken care of so we could truly relax and enjoy our day. What meant even more was how much they genuinely took care of us as the bride and groom. Throughout the entire day and night, they were constantly checking in—asking if we were okay, if we needed anything, and if everything was going the way we wanted. In the middle of everything happening around them, they always made us feel like we were their number one priority. And it wasn’t just us. They interacted with our families throughout the entire day and made everyone feel so comfortable and welcome. By the end of the night, it honestly felt like Angie and Rob weren’t just our coordinators—they fit right in with our families and were right there alongside us, sharing in one of the best days of our lives. That kind of genuine care is so rare, and it’s something we will never forget. If you are considering The Venue at Copper Ridge for your wedding, DO IT. You will be in the absolute best hands with Angie and Rob. Our day was beautiful, seamless, and more perfect than we could have imagined. We are so incredibly thankful we chose this venue and would recommend it over and over again!

  • Serves Donaldson, MN

We are more than your average “Wedding DJ”. We curate an organic wedding experience tailored just for you. Imagine your guests going on an emotional journey of joy, surprise, friendship, laughter, and love. What you can expect working with Spectrum Entertainment, is a host with the unique ability to actively lead an audience through this journey to maintain the energy of your wedding. We are the host, and the person guests see responsible for creating a memorable experience that begins the moment they arrive, to your last dance.

Ryan did a great job throughout the whole day and leading up to the wedding! He was very flexible with our many requests. And even adjusted his regular set up to help us achieve our vision! For everything he did for us, we thought it was extremely good value. He did our ceremony audio, cocktail and dinner background music, MC/hosting, the dance music, and a manned photobooth. He did all of our ceremony audio with really nice lapell microphones so they could barely be seen. I also had several requests for starting and stopping various songs at different times and he did a great job for having no practice with us beforehand. Later in the night we got behind on the timeline but no one knew, and Ryan did a great job at keeping the momentum going and making everything go smoothly. We also didn't have a huge wedding (about 120 people), but I felt like the dancefloor was still packed! Especially the last couple of hours. He even helped us execute a fake ending/encore at the end. I was on the dancefloor all night after like 10pm, he played all the songs I wanted and I just wanted to keep dancing! Several friends commented that it was one of the funnest weddings they had been at! At the end of the night he also gave us a book from all the pictures that were taken in the photograph booth (which was also an incredibly good value), and a USB with audio from our wedding. We are so glad to have these things and so thankful he did that! We would defintely recommend Ryan for your wedding. He has so much experience and is very professional. We had a great experience. He also has a lot of add ons and different packages so you can customize exactly what you want! Thank you Ryan!

I was very pleased with my experience with Something Borrowed Blooms! The flowers were quality silk, unlike typical fake flowers these felt and even smelled like flowers!! I enjoyed not having to waste flowers the day after our wedding, I could send them back in for the next bride! If I had not gone with something borrowed we likely would have make our own flower arrangements. I was nervous about not knowing how those would look until the day of. I loved knowing EXACTLY what my flowers would look like on my wedding day. They were gorgeous! The customer service was never lacking! My shipment was delayed by a day but the team was quick to respond to my nerves insuring me they would over night a replacement box if needed. We highly recommend!

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

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
Flower Moxie exceeded my expectations! We did a custom design and Cristen really captured what I wanted for our wedding day. The ordering process was so easy thanks to Cristen and I went further and did the modules to prep for getting them. As we got closer Alexa was so quick and helpful when I was panic asking a million questions. We had some delays and were getting close to my wedding day with little time to get the flowers done. Alexa jumped into action and was amazing in finding a wholesaler near me that had the flowers we wanted picked and ready for me to get in less than 3 hours. That made such a huge difference as I was able to have my helpers and get everything done before the day of my rehearsal dinner. On top of all of this I now am so proud to say I did all the florals for my wedding and they were everything I wanted! If you’re a fellow budget bride with a vision flower moxie is for you!

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.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them! Do yourself a favor and go with The Fuax Bouquets!

Working with Wood & Word Blooms for our wedding florals was an easy process from start to finish. Their communication style was very straightforward, making it simple to order exactly what we wanted. The quality of their sola wood floral designs was excellent - my bouquet was a dream come true, with intricate details and a beautiful shape. They provided great example options to choose from, and the value was very good for the beautiful work they delivered. Just be sure to order with plenty of lead time, as their creations take time for production and shipping. Overall, we were thrilled with Wood & Word Blooms and highly recommend them for any couples planning their wedding flowers.

I booked Heather after seeing her photos posted by my venue and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world for having found her. Heather and her team are incredibly organized, professional, and kind. She was the rock I needed on our day to help us stay on track and to keep everything moving. She met with us multiple times leading up to our big day and helped give us direction for planning each step of the wedding day schedule. Her aesthetic is beautiful and warm and she was able to capture and create photos that were worthy of a wedding magazine. If you are looking for an experienced, strong, and aesthetically gifted team then Heather and her team are the people for you. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and for helping capture our day!

My husband and I LOVED working with Ali for our wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park! She was responsive to all of our questions and quick to answer calls and emails. On the day, she put everyone at ease and corralled everyone to get through the family portraits quickly. She totally captured our vision for the day and we're so happy with how our photos came out! We absolutely recommend working with Ali for your special day.
