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!

We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From start to finish, the energy was incredible and the night flowed seamlessly. He did an amazing job reading the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed, and creating a fun, upbeat atmosphere that lasted all night. The transitions were smooth, the music choices were on point, and everything felt effortless and well-timed. Beyond the music, his professionalism and calm presence made a huge difference on such a busy day. We felt completely confident trusting him with the flow of the night, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!

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
The team at Suite Seat was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day hair and makeup. From our very first interaction, the communication was funny, friendly and really enjoyable. The stylist did an awesome job - she was relaxed, well-prepared, and made the entire process so smooth and memorable. She listened to my vision and worked her magic to make my hair look flawlessly beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Suite Seat to any couple planning their wedding day.

Kastina & Co. is a Minnesota-based wedding and event planning company serving the Midwest and beyond. Built on a decade of experience in high-end venue management and led by a former theater kid with a love for production magic, we specialize in creating events that are as seamless as they are stunning.

Our team sets the stage and orchestrates the flow so you can simply enjoy the experience, stress-free.

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!

With a passion for storytelling, I weave together posed portraits and candid moments, creating a visual narrative that defies traditional portrait photography.

I strive to go beyond the surface, capturing the genuine emotions that make each story unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we had Madison with us on our wedding day. From start to finish, she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Beyond capturing beautiful photos, she was also our hype woman! Super fun, encouraging, and such a calming presence. My husband and I are both naturally shy, but she helped us loosen up, taught us how to pose, and kept the energy light all day. Our family and friends loved her energy too, which made the whole experience even better. We first fell in love with her style, and working with her only confirmed that choice. She genuinely cares about her couples and their experience, from sending us a cute film camera to celebrate our engagement, to being such a grounding presence on the wedding day itself. Madison’s planning process had structure and intention, which gave us confidence going in. At the same time, our celebration day-of was more go with the flow and a bit less structured. She followed our lead seamlessly and had really helpful suggestions along the way. It felt like the perfect balance! Madison and our second shooter are extremely talented. They somehow managed to be everywhere at once, strapped with multiple cameras and switching between them seamlessly. In addition to our digitals and film package, we also added Super 8. We still don’t know how she captured so many angles and moments so perfectly! :) The final photo package was just as thoughtful as the rest of the experience: a delicately packaged box with prints, film, and a USB. The mix of digital, film, and Super 8 gave us such a unique, layered way to relive the day. So pleased to get exactly what we wanted. Looking back at our gallery, we’re reminded of both the big emotional moments and the small candid ones we might have missed in the blur of the day. Those are the memories we’ll cherish forever, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the way she captured them! 3

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 is not only beyond talented but also the kindest human being. We are so grateful to have had Meg as our photographer, she did beyond an amazing job capturing our engagement photos and wedding photos. She is on top of everything, extremely helpful and so kind.

A’bulae is wonderful! My husband and I do not live in town so we chose the Essentials Package with A’bulae so it would make the planning easier. It really did help everything go smoothly! First, the A’bulae venue is gorgeous and perfect for any weather condition (which helped me not to feel stressed!). The people working at A’bulae respond to emails promptly and professionally. They also help lay out a day-of schedule and handle a lot of the planning. They reach out and meet with the couple several times throughout the wedding planning process to put everyone at ease. Another plus is their in-house decorations, linens, chairs, and tables they set up for weddings. They have several options you can choose from. Further, while A’bulae does require you to use their in-house catering, the food is amazing. All the apps and entrees we chose were delicious. Above all, my favorite part about A’bulae is how they allow you to personalize your wedding as you see fit. My husband and I made our own monogram and cake topper, we made a slideshow to scroll during the social hour, my husband played piano, and we did an about-the-couple trivia game on the screens. It was really fun and made the event special and unique to us. A’bulae worked really hard to make this happen. Even when there was a slight technology issue, they called someone to figure out the solution remotely, and they had the problem solved very quickly. The team worked hard to make everything seamless. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I’m really glad we chose A’bulae.

We loved working with Ross for our engagement and wedding photos. He is so organized and professional. He was always clear with his communication and helped keep everything on track the day of the wedding. We found him because his style was more candid and "moody", and we could not be more excited about the result!

We held our wedding reception at North Garden Theater, and I could not imagine having it anywhere else. Ryan, Tina and Grace were incredibly helpful and attentive the entire evening! We really appreciated all of the personal touches they provided, (such as custom lighting, personalized cocktails, etc...) which made our special day truly unique.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.

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.
