McKinzee/Roxee is just so amazing I can’t stress that enough. 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! My wedding hair makeup were better than I could have imagined and lasted all day!! The picture of the back of my hair was from HOURS later!!! I can’t recommend her enough!

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
10 out of 10 recommend! I want to start off by saying that I am a very type A bride but also a big DIYer and music fanatic. All of that makes me a difficult person to please but this team did it! I spent months planning every detail of my wedding, down to choreographer-like timing on my music and I won’t lie, when I tried to plan details with them months before and was told they prefer to discuss details the week of the wedding (so that details are ACTUALLY finalized), I was a bit stressed. However, all of my stress, worry, and fears melted away after an early on problem solving call with Ben, a very detail-oriented call with Luke the week of the wedding, and of course, our wonderful DJ Josiah putting in the time and effort to make sure he and I were on the same page with all of my very specific requests and overly detailed information! I would highly recommend DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment to anyone for all of your DJing needs! This is a pretty long review, but this team is well deserving of all of these words! Like I mentioned above, I am a challenge to please, especially when it comes to a day as important as my wedding day and for me, music being one of the most important components of the day. If you’re like me, book this team and rest assured, because DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment executed my wishes down to the smallest details and Josiah was the literal BEST! Thank you so much for making my music dreams come true!

Keighla, her photos, and her work quality are the BEST! From the start, she is super responsive - the first sign of a quality vendor. Then throughout the planning process, she guided us through our day of timeline and logistics with ease, giving us tips and guidance on all things wedding. We were okay not taking engagement photos until Keighla suggested that we do them in order to get comfortable in front of the camera and meet her before our wedding day. So smart! We loved taking those photos and are so happy we have them forever and it was so much fun getting to know each other. Keighla is your biggest photo hype girl when she’s behind the camera and she makes you feel so comfortable. She will keep your day on track and will be by your side from getting ready to dance floor and everything in between. When we got our photos back, we swooned over them! We still do to this day. She captures the best moments in the most beautiful way. Recommend Keighla’s Fresh Face Photos 100%!

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!

Hi there! I'm Candi, the owner and lead floral designer at Candi's Precious Petals. Based in Rosemount, MN, we are a family-owned home-based floral studio. With over 20 years of experience, I create elegant floral designs that add class to every event. As a mother of five, I bring dedication and love to every arrangement. Specializing in weddings, I work closely with couples to bring their floral visions to life, ensuring every detail is perfect. We believe flowers express love, joy, and celebration. Thank you for considering us for your floral needs. I look forward to bringing your floral dreams to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow. Candi did the most amazing job. She was such a dream to work with. Her responses were immediate, professional, transparent, and supportive. Her attention to detail was immaculate; she emailed me about two weeks before the wedding to ask if she could use a clay vase rather than a glass one like we had discussed for the memorial table. That extreme attention to detail was obvious in every single bouquet she made. She even surprised me with little flower clippings for my photographer to use for detail photos !! She showed the most care during the consultation process of any florist I talked to and after our initial phone call sent me a packet with the types of flowers she wanted to use along with inspiration pictures. The flowers were beyond my wildest dreams. She understood exactly what I wanted and wasn’t afraid to go all in. As our needs changed the closer we got to the date, she was happy to update the invoice and resend it (about a million times, sorry Candi lol) so we were both on the same page. Flowers were the easiest part of planning my wedding because Candi was so on top of it. They were my favorite part of my wedding and I will never forget how blown away I was the first time I saw my bouquet

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!

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Megan of Florwegian Floral for our wedding and it was the most amazing experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a gift of being able to translate the taste and wants of her clients into a floral masterpiece. Our floral was more than we could have ever imagined. It was everything I pictured and more and definitely helped make our day the most special. Everyone commented on how amazing they looked and their lovely fragrance was icing on the cake. I will look for ways to work with her again.

We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or experience. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - intimate, beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for both our celebration and our photos. Brad and Louise were incredible to work with and supported us every step of the way, taking the time to walk us through each part of the day and keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. Brad also served as our MC and did an amazing job keeping the energy up and the party going all night. The photos they captured are absolutely breathtaking and are memories we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing venue and team be part of it.

Beaute Beautique was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was fast and easy, which was so helpful during the busy planning process.
