“HANNA IS THE BEST!!! I often joked with her, telling her that she was our part-time wedding coordinator and part-time wedding therapist. Hanna makes herself extremely available for her clients, which was so appreciated as there are so many details, questions, logistics, etc., to remember when it comes to wedding planning. She and her team are extremely organized and communicative, which helped our day run seamlessly without us (or our vendors) having to think twice about any details. As a Type A person, I was stressed about handing off my 'Pinterest vision' to anyone but me, but her and her team absolutely blew my vision out of the water, along with the rest of my vendor team. We are so grateful we hired Hanna. She will make your wedding dreams come true!! 3”

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.

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.

“WarPaint International was the beauty team for my wedding day and what a well oiled machine they are! We had 13 people getting hair and makeup services, which could have easily become chaos, but because of the personalized schedule they created for us, the communication before, during, and after the booking process, and the ample amount of artisans they were able to provide everything went off without a hitch. When arriving at my venue the team was already there set up and ready to go! We definitely felt like royalty walking into our own personal glam team. Wendy did my hair and spent extra time perfecting my retro glam waves, making sure I was 100% happy with my look. Mia, Mariah, & Keely helped with the bridal party and everyone looked so beautiful and classy! If there were any adjustments to be made, these ladies got right to work without complaint to make sure everybody was satisfied with their services.

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.

“I highly recommend working with Primped for your bridal party. I hired them to do hair and makeup for myself, my mom, my mother-in-law, and five bridesmaids. Our artists for the wedding day were Jamie A (head stylist), Christine O, and Danielle S. Primped was responsive to all communications, sent quotes for services in a timely manner, and kept me informed about any changes. They were also proactive about asking follow-up questions whenever something needed clarification. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Jamie A several weeks before my wedding. She asked me to send inspiration photos for my wedding look, and despite the influx of AI-generated content on Pinterest these days, we were able to capture the essence of what I wanted. It was nice to meet her in person before the wedding, and I appreciated the opportunity to give feedback on my look and share how it held up throughout the day. She took detailed notes on what to adjust for the wedding day. I was initially apprehensive about doing a hair and makeup trial, but I’m so glad I did—if you can afford it, I highly recommend it. On the day of the wedding, the entire team arrived at the Van Dusen Mansion 15 minutes early to set up and spent four hours with us. Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup, and the artists provided minor touch-ups toward the end of their time to ensure we were photo-ready. I loved everyone’s final look. I was especially concerned about my elderly mother-in-law, who has short hair and a very particular way she prefers it styled, including a blowout. Jamie was incredibly accommodating and executed it perfectly. This meant a lot to me because I wanted her to be fully included in the getting-ready process. She looked stunning. Thank you for everything!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Van Dusen Mansion, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The mansion is absolutely stunning, and the team’s professionalism made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. After placing our deposit, we received a clear and detailed planning timeline, which the team stuck to from beginning to end. Monica, the venue director, was incredibly responsive and genuinely excited to work with us. We were planning a hybrid cultural wedding, which can sometimes be daunting for vendors, but Monica embraced it wholeheartedly and made us feel supported every step of the way. We also appreciated the flexibility of being able to tour the venue multiple times without any pushback. By the time our wedding day arrived, it truly felt like we were inviting guests into our own home. One thing to note: the venue requires that the get-ready rooms be cleaned out before the ceremony begins. This was a bit inconvenient as things got hectic, and we recommend couples assign someone specifically to manage that, as we did lose track of a few personal items after the event. The only other downside is that you're required to use their exclusive catering partner, Mintahoe (we've left a separate review for them). Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The Van Dusen Mansion is a stunning venue with a fantastic team, and we’re so grateful to have celebrated our special day there! Photo cred: @storytellercoweddings”

“After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!”

Nicollet Island Pavilion gives you the best of both worlds: historic character and a seamless, full-service wedding experience. Built in 1893 on a small island in the Mississippi River, this Minneapolis landmark features exposed brick, original architecture, vaulted ceilings, and unforgettable photo moments at every turn. Couples enjoy exclusive use of the venue, with flexible ceremony options outdoors beneath the trees, inside the elegant three-season tent, or in the ballroom. After “I do,” guests can flow easily into cocktail hour on the walkout patio before celebrating in a ballroom that accommodates 95 to 525 seated guests. Mintahoe Catering & Events, a local family-owned company, handles every food and beverage detail with custom menus, curated tastings, and warm hospitality. Your package includes the artisan bar, café string lights, chandeliers, wooden dance floor, AV setup, dedicated coordinator, and private River Room for getting ready.

I love working hand in hand with couples to capture pure moments of love, laughter, and emotion. For me there is no cookie cutter wedding, each wedding is unique and should narrate the story of the couple's relationship. I work with my couples to find hobbies and/or pastimes they share that are special to them. We find fun and unique ways to integrate it into their photos making for a highly personalized and enjoyable experience.

“Not to brag, but we had the BEST photographer for our wedding!! Matthew Eberle Photography was absolutely phenomenal!! The entire time we planned our wedding we kept saying we just want the whole thing to be a representation of us, down to every detail. Matthew captured the emotions and everything that is us just how we wanted. Plus he was a ninja with the camera’s. Our photos are breathtaking and a month later and we still have people telling us how awesome our photographer was. Cannot recommend him enough.”

Eric Turner Photography

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.

“Working with Eric Turner Photography was an absolute joy from start to finish. Eric communicated with us in a straightforward and friendly way that made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, he had a gift for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and it really shows in our photos—everyone looks genuinely happy and comfortable. His work captured all the real moments and emotion from our favorite day in such a detailed way. We couldn't be happier with the final photos, and we'd recommend Eric to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about telling your story.”
