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 :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? For 20 months, we worked with Hanna. She is hands down the best coordinator, planner, and content creator, and we are so happy we chose to work with her. We initially booked her for day-of coordination and content. From our very first meeting, I could tell how incredibly knowledgeable she was and that I could trust her. As we started planning, we quickly realized how helpful she was, so we upgraded to partial planning, which was one of the best decisions we made! She became such an invaluable resource throughout planning. No matter how many questions I had, she was always quick to respond, even outside of her normal hours. We had monthly meetings to make sure we were on track. She helped us with design decisions, recommended where to order things, and even shared discount codes. She also took certain tasks, such as designing our menus, completely off our hands. Hanna helped us book our last few vendors and took the lead on communicating with them. We also hired her for content for our rehearsal dinner. Although she was not in charge of planning it, she still offered to bring the welcome sign stand as well as tapered candles for more decoration. She also took pictures of us and our guests, which was really nice not having to worry about doing it ourselves, so we could be fully present. On our wedding day she brought the box stand for our signage, which was one less thing we had to worry about. Since she was doing content for our day, Kaylee and Melissa took over the coordination, and they did such a great job making sure everything was on track! Moments before walking down the aisle, I realized I forgot to reapply my lip gloss, and Melissa ran to get it for me in time. I was so grateful! The content she captured from our rehearsal dinner and wedding day was amazing! She got photos and videos back to us within 24 hours, which was so sweet to be able to relive those moments so soon after. Hanna genuinely went so above and beyond, and we are forever indebted to her. You will absolutely not regret working with her!

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900

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.

My then fiance and I were living in Southern California and planning a Wisconsin wedding, and hiring revel and flourish was the best money spent on our wedding hands down. Communication was excellent, we met via zoom often, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Day of the wedding was absolutely magical and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work during a very hot summer muggy day in the Midwest. Very thankful for Revel & Flourish!

Hannah has taken photos for my husband and I multiple times now! We had a fun photoshoot on the beach with our dogs, she was there for our engagement, and she captured our wedding. Every experience we have ever had with both Hannah and Oliver has been fun, light-hearted, and stress-free (which is super important on your wedding day). Oliver even helped get our dog out of the lake after she decided to swim after some ducks! At out wedding, they captured photos of things I didn't even think about, helped stage our families for group photos, and got the most beautiful portraits of my husband and I even in a time crunch. I had a fairly specific vision for my getting-ready and detail photos, and Hannah made sure that my vision came to life. She also took some of the coolest photos I've ever seen of people dancing at our reception with some cool lighting effects. I am forever grateful to have such beautiful photos of my wedding day that perfectly balance portrait photos, candid photos, and everything between. I cannot recommend Hannah and Oliver enough!

From the moment we began working with FIVE Event Center, we felt supported, and that feeling only deepened on our wedding day. The space itself is stunning, with a romantic industrial feel that feels both elegant and warm, but what truly sets FIVE apart is the people. Robin and her team took an incredible amount of stress off our shoulders. They handled the flow of the day with such calm confidence that if anything was frustrating or unexpected, we never felt it. Their professionalism and quiet reassurance allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy every moment. We even had a last-minute oversight and forgot our cake cutting supplies - and somehow, without hesitation, Robin completely saved the day (and our photos) by magically having exactly what we needed. It was one of those moments that could have caused stress, but instead became a reminder that we were in the best possible hands. We had initially worried about parking, but it ended up being a non-issue - not a single guest mentioned it. Everything flowed smoothly, the space photographed beautifully, and our guests consistently commented on how welcoming, beautiful, and well-run the venue felt. We are so grateful to Robin and the entire FIVE Event Center team for creating an experience that felt seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely cared for. We would wholeheartedly recommend FIVE to any couple looking for a beautiful space paired with a team that truly goes above and beyond.

I was so on the fence deciding if I wanted a makeup and hairstylist, I am someone who is confident with doing my makeup but hair is always hit or miss. I decided I wanted to just forgo the stress of getting myself ready so I messaged Primped because I thought their prices and stipulations on their site were fair. They assigned me to Kimmy as my artist and I cannot give her enough praise. She is so down to earth and honest and also very good at explaining everything and she did a phenomenal job. I had my makeup and hair trial and wore it to work and got so many compliments. The day of my wedding I unfortunately broke out with some small spots of acne because hormones but she did such a great job that it wasn't even noticeable. I had so many compliments and I felt so beautiful during my big day. Also, the communication with Justine was flawless. She handled everything from the coordinating standpoint and there were no hiccups with planning. I would 100% recommend Primped!!

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.

I hired Lens on Records for my mom’s 70th birthday party as well as for my doctoral graduation party. No matter the occasion or age group/ backgrounds of the attendees, DJ Malicious had the right mix ready to keep the dance floor packed all night! She also had a photographer available to capture our most memorable moments during the events. Lens on Records provided all around high quality service at a great cost. I will continue to hire and recommend Lens on Records for all occasions. You can’t go wrong!

Eric Turner Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
Minneapolis, MN
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eric was such a joy to work with. His creativity and eye for detail made our photos absolutely stunning. He has a way of making the whole experience feel natural and fun, putting us completely at ease in front of the camera. He captured our connection in such an authentic way. Nothing felt forced, just real moments full of love. We would absolutely work with Eric again in a heartbeat.

Fox & Loon Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, her communication was open, punctual, and funny, putting us at ease throughout the entire process.

Render Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Britt enough, or emphasize how grateful we are to have found Render Photography. From the first Zoom get-to-know-you meeting to our engagement session through to the big day, Britt was an absolute knowledgeable and helpful pro, helping us make decisions on key details like day-of timelines while exuding a warm, friendly style that helped my partner and I feel at ease in front of the camera (we both are naturally camera shy). Her ability to maintain a calm and chill demeanor through tight schedules while simultaneously wrangling our 18-person wedding party into looking like movie stars is honestly a superpower. I'm absolutely obsessed with how our photos turned out. They say that choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important choices you make, as they're likely the person you and your spouse spend the most time with on your wedding day. You want to trust that this person has got it all under control, and will capture your day beautifully. Trust me - choose Britt.
