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.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Middle River, 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!

Something Borrowed Blooms was the best wedding decision we made. No one could believe they were silk. The cost is guaranteed and you know exactly what you’re getting. We were able to set up our venue the day before the wedding (including the flowers) and not have to worry about a florist arriving and taking our chances with it not looking the way we wanted it to. Could not recommend SBB more!!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Middle River, 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
The BEST most nerve wracking decision we made for our big day!!! I was so nervous to go this route but trusted my gut and I’m so glad I did. FM was incredible at walking me through the process and the full service package is worth WAY more than what you pay for it. I felt incredibly prepared for flower arrival from all the phone calls, videos, and paperwork they sent including detailed recipes and schedule for the week. We had some hiccups with Hurricanes and delayed shipping. They called me to initially tell me they would be a day early. Then when they didn’t arrive called again and explained they’d been held up in customs(obviously no ones fault). They then sent out an entire extra box of blooms to be sure we got everything we needed. Flowers were beautiful!!! Spending time with my sisters and family putting them together was truly the most fun wedding prep. My guests and coordinator truly couldn’t believe we had done all our own flowers, and the best part??! We saved ourselves literally thousands!! We would recommend FM to anyone for any occasion anytime.

We found Bluewater Kings through the preferred vendor list at our venue , and we are so glad we did. They invited us to come hear them play at a live showcase, and we were immediately sold. We booked them that same night. One of the best parts of working with them was the planning process. Their online planning portal made it so easy to update our preferences and make adjustments in the months leading up to the wedding. Molly was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any questions we had, which made everything feel seamless and organized. We also used their “iPad DJ” option so we could customize our cocktail hour and dinner playlists, along with a few songs during the band’s breaks. It was the perfect balance of adding our own personal touches while still trusting them to play what they know keeps the energy up. The band itself was amazing. They were so talented, brought great energy, and kept the dance floor packed all night. They really paid attention to the vibe we wanted and delivered exactly that. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would absolutely recommend them for your wedding.

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.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

I was so impressed with The Faux Bouquets for our wedding! Brittany, the owner, was incredibly quick to respond, thorough in her communication, and had such a friendly and fun personality. She really went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect faux floral arrangements for our big day. The quality of their work is truly unique and you can tell they are so passionate about what they do. We were able to take advantage of a special deal on the flowers I wanted, and they even upgraded some of the pieces for free! Compared to other faux floral companies in the area, we were able to get much more for our money. I'm so glad I took the time for the 15 minute consultation with Brittany - it was so helpful to see the items at scale and she customized our order perfectly. Our wedding is not until 2027 but we got them early and I LOVE them. I also like that the suites aren’t cookie cutter so each of my bridesmaids have their own style.

Ali was such a pleasure to work with and she captured both our wedding day and engagement photos perfectly! Besides for being incredibly smart and easy to work with she is also incredibly talented. Just the sneak peak of wedding photos we’ve gotten back are beautiful and perfectly capture the energy of our wedding day. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
