Kerri Ann was communicative from the start of the whole wedding process. She helped us, as we were wedding planning, make a mock schedule of how the day could flow. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us. She accomendated us when we said we wanted our engagement photos in Duluth, Minnesota. We met with her a couple of weeks before the wedding to make a plan of all the different photographs we wanted as a couple and she was attentive and made notes to ensure we got all the photos we wanted for our special day. On our wedding day, Kerri and Ava, helped so much with us staying on schedule and getting all the photos we wanted. Ava helped get all the groomsmen photos while Kerri got all the bridal party ones. Having 2 photographers helped so much on the day of. We got our photos back really quickly and they all turned out amazing. It's hard to pick a favorite as well as which ones we'll want to hang up since we love so many of them. Thanks so much, Kerri and Ava, for all you did on our wedding day!

Our wedding was at Erickson Farmstead July 13th, 2024. We were very un organized. We forgot to submit our music, despite the texts, calls, and emails, we just were focused on other parts of the wedding. We didn't realize how much this DJ company actually does! The DJ showed up and he was driven to make sure things were perfect! As expected, the dance floor was packed, amazing song after amazing song. When I'd try and leave, he'd put on the next song and right back out there! It was sooooo good. I've never been to a wedding where everyone dance all night and had the level of dedication and knowledge than DJ Sound. THIS is the ONLY comoany to go with.

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.

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.

My husband and I just got married at The Refuge a few weeks ago, and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Our entire weekend from the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the bridal suite, the ceremony, dinner, and the reception was absolutely amazing. The venue, wedding ceremony location, bridal suite, and banquet area are all incredibly beautiful. The breakfast and lunch we had in the bridal suite getting ready, and the dinner during our reception was phenomenal. We served oven roasted chicken and fresh salmon, our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we cannot thank our wedding coordinator, Lisa, and the rest of the Refuge staff for making our wedding the best weekend of our entire lives! If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely choose The Refuge!!! 10/10!

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.

Megan met with me initially to talk about my vision for the day and she completely blew me away - my flowers were so much prettier than I even imagined and I feel like she took into consideration a lot of factors - heat, weather, the sun, how flowers look together with bridesmaids dresses, etc. I wanted a colorful whimsical garden party vibe at our wedding and it totally was that!

Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Noe and his ability to read a crowd and deliver a great party. No matter what you’re looking for, Noe at Viva La Fiesta is your guy!! Leia and Taylor
