MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is amazing! She knows her trade and uses her expertise to help you finalize your look for the big day. She takes her time during her trial not only to do your makeup but get to know you as a bride. I was impressed at her attention to detail and the amount of notes she took down on what we wanted to fix or change for the wedding day. Ashley is honest and helps set realistic expectations as well as gives great advice when you are deciding on various small details. After she works on you, you will be SNATCHED and flawless all night long regardless of the heat or humidity! I can't wait to get the professional photos back!

DJ Rick A was hands down the BEST!!! he was so fun & energetic and played bangers back-to-back-to-back x 10 to where the dance floor was NEVER empty (and we didn’t really have a dancing crowd). we had the twilight baseball scene as the grand entrance and he HYPED everyone up for it. towards the end of the night, we got caught up talking to guests so he was packing up, but he made sure we got our last solo dance also my sister was taking photos of everyone so i wanted to share one of Rick :)

Jessica Knighton Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Loretto, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica is the best. Hands down. Hire her immediately and never look back. She is a master of her craft. She was fun but professional, everyone loved her, and the photos are beyond anything I could have hoped for. We were not the easiest customers. First, our venue was a museum, not a wedding venue, so she had to be creative and work around a space not designed for weddings. Jessica was unperturbed. She considered everything: where the sun would hit, what time to be where, and how to account for different types of weather. At the end of the day, the photos look like they were not taken in a museum, but belong in a museum. Second, my husband does not like being in photos or having any attention on him whatsoever. When told to smile for the camera, he usually makes a face like he just smelled bad eggs. I do not know what kind of wizard Jessica is, but she is definitely magic. She put him at ease and managed to capture sincere, loving looks. Third, she indulged and hyped up all of my silly ideas, like our first look, which I did in an inflatable dinosaur costume. She reflected exactly the balance of quirky and classy I was going for in our photos. When I got engaged, I envisioned being surrounded by my closest, most cherished friends and family. I did not think about the fact that there would also be a virtual stranger there trying to catch it all on tape. Jessica and I spent almost the entire day together, and it was great. She managed to capture intimate moments without ever being intrusive, but she was not a wallflower either. She was helpful, fun, and truly a joy to be around, making a special day even more special.

From the moment we stepped into Watson Block we just knew it was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. If your vibe is intimate, romantic, old world charm this is your spot. Pictures don’t do it justice and it’s so beautiful you truly need very little to make it your own. Gaby was incredible for the entire planning process all the way through to our big day. We did almost everything ourselves- including creating an arch to be married under, to signage, to table decor, even our own wedding flowers. Gaby answered every question with ease and was incredible at assuaging my nerves. She and her team set things up perfectly from the ceremony to the switch for dinner and then dancing. I often questioned if we needed a day of coordinator and was so happy I didn’t waste my money on one because it wasn’t needed. I never knew a day could be as truly magical as our wedding was and a huge part of that was how much we loved our venue. I would happily suggest it to anyone asking. The other huge bonus is it was truly one of if not the best value for venues in the twin cities. This gem will continue to gain notoriety as an incredible venue for years to come!!

Their expert DJs are on hand to ensure that your guests live it up on the dance floor from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The wedding of our dreams! We are beyond grateful to have found not only a venue, but a staff that took such good care of us and our guests. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, the VDM team was incredibly responsive and available to answer any questions we had. They were flexible with us with touring the venue (several times) to make sure we felt comfortable leading up to wedding day. We planned our wedding from out of state and the VDM team made it so easy. On wedding day I was able to be in the moment without a care in the world because of our vendors, including the VDM staff, who took care of absolutely everything and I never had to think twice about it.

You cannot go wrong with Primped! I had Lindsay for makeup and Allie for hair - they were wonderful! They did my hair, 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and my mom’s hair. I cannot say enough about how great they both were! We were able to meet and do a trial before the wedding to discuss the look I wanted both in terms of makeup and hair, and they both ensured I was completely comfortable with the end results. All of the other women who had their hair and makeup done loved the end result. Allie and Lindsay were both excellent about ensuring everyone had as much or as little "extra" in their makeup or hair. For instance, my mother-in-law is not as comfortable with a lot of glamour, so Lindsay and Allie were great about ensuring her hair and makeup were more natural compared to some of the others. They are both also just such kind people who were a welcome addition to our morning of getting ready - everyone had rave reviews for them. Primped is a wonderful company with great people who work for them. My hair and makeup lasted all night and I loved the way I looked :) The cost is definitely worth it - you won't regret hiring them!

The venue and staff were incredibly professional, organized, and helpful from start to finish. I planned my wedding from another state, which can be overwhelming, but Will made the process smooth by guiding me through every step and keeping me on track with clear communication and organization. The food was absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests commented on the generous portions and amazing flavor, my husband and I were actually able to sit down and enjoy the meal. The team was also very accommodating with dietary restrictions and flexible in helping us stay within our budget. The venue itself is stunning, with high ceilings and exposed brick that create a timeless, elegant atmosphere. The only challenge we experienced was during the unloading process. Since we brought in many of our own items, unloading had to be done directly on the street, which was hectic and involved stopping traffic and dealing with frustrated drivers. This could be difficult for couples doing a lot of DIY decor, though it likely wouldn’t be an issue if vendors are handling setup and breakdown. Aside from this logistical challenge, we had an overall wonderful experience.

They responded to our request very quick and let us know all our options. They also offered a tasting box with all their flavors for you to try at home. Everything was super easy and the delivery to the venue was great. And they offer anniversary cakes for life!! :)

Betsy did a phenomenal job on my makeup and my mom’s for my wedding day! She made us feel absolutely beautiful while keeping everything natural and radiant. The makeup photographed perfectly and lasted all day through the rain, happy tears, and hugs! Betsy was not only incredibly skilled but also such a kind, calming presence—exactly what you want on your wedding morning. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a makeup artist who truly brings out your best features and your confidence.

From the moment we first visited the hotel, we were impressed by its elegance and beautiful spaces. The staff was welcoming, and overall atmosphere was perfect for our wedding.

Her attention to detail, organization, and communication were outstanding. She listened to our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Becca was a calming presence, coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran on schedule. She handled any hiccups with grace and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special moments with family and friends. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable!

The Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington was an incredible venue for our wedding block. From the moment we booked, their communication was prompt, clear, and quick - they were so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The venue itself was beautifully clean and had such an aesthetic look and feel. They went above and beyond for our special day, even providing complimentary champagne at check-in for our guests and an amazing shuttle service. While it was an expensive venue, it took so much stress away on the wedding day and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible location for hosting our wedding block and getting ready morning.

The Machine Shop was the only venue my wife and I looked at for our wedding. We have performed as string quartet musicians at a plethora of venues in the Twin Cities and beyond, and this was the first and only venue where as a vendor I looked at it and thought: "I could get married here." The biggest draws were: amazing indoor location, unique space, easy to find parking, close to home, and option for both ceremony and reception to be in the same space. Communication with the venue staff was quick, fast, and easy to understand our options. The select caterers and onsite only liquor selections were excellent and had a wide variety of tastes and options. We went with Brasa and 2 hosted signature cocktails during cocktail hour - the food and drink were such a hit and people could not stop saying how great Brasa was and the cocktails! We had so much fun on our wedding night and everything came together so well. We worked with Lauren from Machine Shop and she was amazing, we got to meet with her for a wine tasting with our families and she answered all of our many questions as well as helped us figure out our drink preferences. So many of our friends and family commented on how this was one of the most fun wedding venues they had been to and we couldn't agree more!
