Emerson Avenue 

4.8

North Oaks, MN
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500

There’s dancing in the streets of the Twin Cities! Emerson Avenue is a high-energy, horn-driven, classic rock band that hails from Minnesota’s Twin Cities. You’ll hear sounds that are heavily rooted in rock, soul, and funk, with classic tracks from bands like Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Aretha Franklin, Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Amy Winehouse, Prince, and many more!

I booked Emerson for my wedding in 2017 after finding out about them from a mutual friend. I was able to customize the songs I was interested in and they learned something new just for my reception. A year later they had an opening for a trumpet player and the rest is history!

Bellagala Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. From the beginning, they were incredibly helpful and attentive, answering all of our questions promptly and making sure we felt prepared and confident heading into the big day.

the suite seat 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves North Oaks, MN

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was looking for a bridal hairstylist in the Minneapolis area on Instagram and came across Kristy’s work. I could tell from her page and our first email correspondence that she had incredible talent and true passion for what she does for brides! I cannot recommend Kristy enough! From the moment we met, she made me feel so at ease knowing she had my bridal hair under control. She was not only incredibly professional, arriving on time and fully prepared, but also super talented. My hair looked absolutely stunning and lasted the entire day and night— through the rain! She took my vision and elevated it, making me feel so confident and beautiful. If you're looking for a stylist who blends personality, professionalism, and top-notch skill, she's the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Green Mill Catering for our wedding this April, and I can't say enough good things about them! The biggest feedback we got on our wedding was that it was the best food they had ever tasted. We had a hard time choosing during the tasting, because everything was just so good! They are really flexible with the menu arrangement, and even made a custom-requested dessert for us. They accommodated every request and question, and were so patient as we debated our choices. I wish I had more photos of the meals, but the presentation was equally as great! Everything was truly delicious, but we especially recommend trying the almond crusted chicken, the mashed potatoes, the crab-stuffed mushrooms, the coconut chicken skewers, the mini walleye cakes, the Swedish meatballs, and the mini shooters.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kastina Morrison is the epitome of event excellence. We hired Kastina & Co. for day-of (really, month-of) wedding coordination for our outdoor ceremony at a non-traditional farm venue. Kastina dove right in, offering a curated list of 5-star vendors, brainstorming for decor, and setting several meetings to keep things on track. We had a lot of cannabis elements (a very new thing in Minnesota), but Kastina was able to help us find the right partners to stay compliant and classy. The best part, aside from Kastina’s immensely positive and creative spirit, is her organizational skills. She created many invaluable documents, including an incredibly detailed run-of-show that outlined our wedding down to the minute. Every single person, whether it was a vendor, a wedding party person, or a family member, knew precisely where they needed to be when. This document alone was worth its weight in gold as it allowed me (the bride) to enjoy my special day, and helped ease the mind of my anxious MIL (not an easy feat). On the day of, Kastina and her team worked their tails off to ensure things went off without a hitch - including repairing a wind-damaged tent. It could have spelled disaster for our reception, but somehow Kastina saved the day. And I didn’t even know it happened until the very end of the night. She’s just that good. If you’re considering hiring Kastina & Co., do not hesitate. It will be the best decision you ever made. Our wedding even made it into Minnesota Bride magazine thanks to Kastina’s brilliant execution!

Beautiful space and the staff is phenomenal! Our venue manager, Victoria M., was a dream to work with - she made everything a breeze! Our ceremony involved the transportation and set up of a large amount of personal items/furniture and Victoria found a way to make it happen in the time needed, even on a holiday weekend. She saved the day when the DJ showed up unprepared, and gracefully took charge of a stressful situation. She also helped document the day, which was a surprise to me and it was so lovely to receive her photos and videos the next day. The actual ceremony was a blur so it was truly a gift to be able to experience it through her eyes. This venue is an elegant and historic space, very affordable especially in today's economic climate, they were one of the only venues that was willing to let us do ceremony only as we had an offsite reception, and the staff is just fantastic! I highly recommend!

The. Perfect. Band. Hands down the best return on our wedding "investment." For many of our guests, the band was THE highlight of the day—and I think it says everything that I'm not the least bit offended by that. Seriously amazing musicians. The bandleader, Kyle, was an absolute legend to work with. I've heard from several friends/fam who called him after our wedding that he went above and beyond to help them find their second-choice band because the Hitmen were, sadly, already booked. He's just the most lovely person. Talented in his own right and, I must say, surrounded onstage by some of the best singers and players this side of the Mississippi. Their equipment produced incredible sound quality, even though the space wasn't designed for great acoustics. Plus, when we got a late start to our reception, the band called seamless song-selection audibles. If I had a time machine, one reason I'd do my wedding day again would be to relive the dance party the Hitmen threw.

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Meg made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. Our photoshoot felt like just hanging out with a friend, we were so at ease I almost forgot we were in front of a camera! If you’re looking for a photographer to make you and your partner feel special, and get some BOMB photos, I highly recommend Meg!

They answered questions very quickly, came up with creative solutions, and we never felt upsold. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for delicious food and awesome service every step of the way.

Meredith is a pleasure to work with. She helped me not only in a pinch but throughout the entire day. She is extremely creative and has an eye for detail! I plan to work with her more moving forward.

Rock It Man Entertainment

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves North Oaks, MN

Dueling Pianos, Solo Piano Show, or Full Band Arrangements, we offer a highly interactive, song-request-driven, comedy-infused show that's sure to leave your guests singing, dancing, and laughing along all night!

We absolutely loved working with and having Rock It Man Entertainment at our wedding. Although there was a minor hiccup the week of our wedding in a performer change/miscommunication, the team at Rock It Man stepped up and rearranged schedules to quickly accommodate our desire for a specific entertainer. And let me tell you… having Jon perform at our wedding was one of the highlights of our whole day! From live music at the ceremony, to hours of live music during the reception – Jon kept everyone entertained. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and what a great idea it was to have live music. The price of Rock It Man versus a DJ company is very different, but we truly felt that the show, the energy, the vocals, everything we received from Rock It Man was worth every single penny.

I am SO glad that I chose to work with Sandy Xiong Beauty. Kong & KaSen executed my wedding day beauty look perfectly. I highly recommend working with Sandy Xiong Beauty -- they made my whole experience easy, breezy, and BEAUTIFUL. Kong & KaSen Kong & KaSen were absolutely amazing to work with. Kong was in charge of makeup & KaSen took care of all our hairstyles. They were both highly professional, responsive, punctual, and skilled at their craft. Portfolio Sandy Xiong Beauty's portfolio showed a wide range of beautifully done hair and makeup styles, which stood out to me since many other vendors only showcased a few looks, mostly reflecting current trends. I was worried those other vendors wouldn't be able to deliver anything outside their usual styles. Sandy Xiong Beauty's versatility gave me confidence they could achieve the look I wanted. Vendor Comparison I compared 11 wedding beauty vendors and found that Sandy Xiong Beauty had the most competitive pricing across nearly every category, including the full cost of my bridal beauty (hair and makeup) and the costs for my attendants. They offer clear, competitive pricing that’s easy to understand and calculate independently. It didn’t take me long to realize Sandy Xiong Beauty offered the best value within my budget. Constructive Feedback The only area for improvement is email response time. Before booking, I sometimes waited anxiously for replies to my questions near the quote deadline. After booking and connecting with my day-of artists, communication was smooth and timely. Bridal Trial During my trial, KaSen accommodated time for two different hair styles because I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I told Kong I’d never liked my makeup done by anyone else before, and she completely blew me away with her work. The trial was fun, and at the end I felt beautiful while still looking like myself. My hair and makeup after the trial lasted over 10 hours (and through a nap) with only minor touch-ups. My artists encouraged me to take notes after and welcomed feedback, which was very helpful on the big day. Wedding Day! On my wedding day, Kong and KaSen came prepared with my trial photos to reference. Kong told me I took really good notes, which made it easy for her to tweak my look exactly how I wanted. As my beauty prep was wrapping up and the ceremony drew near, KaSen noticed my nerves and took a moment to reassure me -- I really appreciated her kindness. My lipstick wore off quickly, which I expected & failed to prepare for -- I had planned to get the same lipstick Kong used for touchups throughout the day but failed to do (wish I would've! I recommend this tip for other brides). My eye makeup lasted through all the tears without any issues. Even though I knew my down hairstyle would eventually get knotty, I felt like Rapunzel & my half-up hair stayed full all day. I lost a few pieces of tinsel throughout the day but not a single bobby pin. Kong & KaSen's attention to detail and care made all the difference in making me feel confident & beautiful on my wedding day. ThankyouthankyouTHANKYOU to Sandy, Kong, KaSen, and every other member of the Sandy Xiong Beauty team who assisted in making my wedding day a dream come true! Notes on My Hairstyle 1. One of my bridesmaids installed the tinsel shown, but KaSen styled it afterwards. 2. KaSen installed my clip-in extensions for my hairstyle.

Lindsay Miller Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves North Oaks, MN

Hello and welcome! My name is Lindsay and I am a Saint Paul based photographer. My style is a mix of candid, photojournalistic, traditional and artistic. With those techniques in mind, I do my best to tell your story. I believe every story and individual is unique, and therefore should be captured that way.

I had the opportunity to work with Lindsay Miller Photography at an October 2020 wedding. She was the photographer and I was the videographer. She is so wonderful and let me surprise our couple with an even more special full length video - one that showed the whole day through Lindsay's beautiful photos!!  Since I only shot the ceremony, I'm so ecstatic that she was kind enough to team up on the full length video so the couple could watch their entire day, including the parts I wasn't there to video. Her work took that video to the next level and I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to showcase her fantastic work. She was a dream to communicate with, replied in a timely manner, and is such an easy going person to work with. She truly is a dream photographer!
