Shara's Floral Designs 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Oakdale, MN
  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000

Hi! I'm Shara, and I absolutely LOVE weddings! My journey with flowers began in 2010 when I designed for my daughter’s wedding. In 2017, I was encouraged to turn my passion into a business, and I’ve been creating beautiful wedding flowers ever since! I believe that every wedding deserves the perfect finishing touch—especially when it comes to flowers! Whether it's personal flowers like bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres, or stunning ceremony arrangements, installations, and reception centerpieces, I’m passionate about bringing my clients' visions to life. I get energized by creative ideas and seeing those ideas executed perfectly!

Shara created the most beautiful, whimsical, and photo-worthy arrangements for our May wedding. Not only was her work stunning, but it was EXACTLY what we envisioned. I couldn’t have asked for better. Also, Shara’s process from the consultation to delivery and setup was seamless, convenient, and efficient. Her communication was open, quick, and detailed. I appreciated her so much as my florist and I’m so glad we got to work together to make my wedding day come to life!

Behind the Board DJ Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Oakdale, MN
  • DJ

“WHEN I’M BEHIND THE BOARD, MUSIC IS MY VOICE, MY WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE CROWD. WHEN EVERYTHING CLICKS, NOTHING BEATS THE SYNERGY THAT’S ACHIEVED.” That’s Steve’s favorite thing about being a DJ; the shared experience that comes with performing at events. Steve describes himself as “hands-on.” “I thoroughly enjoy playing the director’s role when doing these events. From the first announcement over the microphone until my ‘See ya!’ to send everyone home, there’s a lot of pleasure that goes with commanding the room. While these events are serious business, there’s nothing saying that you can’t have fun with it.”

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Behind the Board DJ Entertainment for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with Steve's work. From start to finish, he was responsive and genuinely excited about our day, thinking through details we hadn't even considered yet. Steve kept the dance floor full from beginning to end. My friends and family ages 4-92 all had an amazing time. When we realized we'd forgotten to get a back track put together just days before the wedding, he got back to us that same day to make sure it was ready. His energy and skill made our reception feel alive, and every guest left talking about how fun the night was. We'd book Steve again in a heartbeat.

The Gardens of Castle Rock helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. My wife and I toured the venue and fell in love with the place even in the dead of winter, we said to each other " we would do it right here right now with no additional decor" because we loved it so much. This venue was not only LGBTQ inclusive, but was very intentionally more than just inclusive/tolerant- they made it very clear they were LGBTQ SUPPORTERS AND ALLIES. My wife and I felt safe with every staff member throughout every step of the process. Shout-out to Glen for his beautiful artwork and warm soul!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region since 1982. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really enjoyed working with Divine Swine for our wedding! They had a large menu with lots of options. I would definitely recommend booking a tasting with them to choose which items you like because we were surprised at which ones we ended up choosing. The food was even better at the wedding than at the tasting, and it seemed like our guests really liked it. We enjoyed getting to take home all of the leftovers too! We live out of state, and they were super flexible and quick to respond. Great customer service!

Candi was prompt and thoughtful with every email, and her energetic personality made planning our flowers feel exciting instead of stressful. She truly understood our vision and brought it to life in ways we didn't even know were possible, all while keeping costs reasonable. I'll never forget her hand-delivering my bridal bouquet to my makeup chair on the morning of the wedding—that thoughtfulness meant so much. The flowers she created brought color and life to our reception and perfectly reflected the happiness we felt that day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Devyn was our photographer for our engagement photos in February 2022 and for our wedding in October 2022. We had the absolute best experience with her during both sessions. I was so overwhelmed when searching for a photographer, I didn’t know much about it and there are so many options out there. The first thing that caught our eye was her editing style. The coloring wasn't washed out or super saturated like other photographers editing I'd seen. Her editing was simple, yet captivating. We also noticed her creativity with the variety of poses and candid shots in her online portfolio. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, she so unbelievably kind and fun to work with! She makes you feel at ease behind the camera and that was so important to us! We would highly recommend Devyn to be your photographer for any special occasion!

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families). Studio Delphianblue was founded in 2013 and is a fully woman-owned company based out of Burnsville MN. We DO travel outside of the Twin Cities metro area! I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

From the first time we spoke, Danielle at Studio Delphianblue demonstrated her commitment to capturing our wedding perfectly. She was very easy to communicate with, and answered any questions we had. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted at first, but she asked all the right things to help us create a vision and guide us through it. She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.

Sydney was a DREAM!! My husband and I both agree that hiring Sydney was hands down the best decision we made while planning our entire wedding.

From the moment she steps on site—always early, prepared, and calm—she brings a sense of ease and professionalism that instantly puts couples and vendors at peace.

Her designs are elevated, intentional, and artfully crafted, with a level of detail that reflects her deep care for each couple’s story. Every piece she creates feels personal and thoughtfully executed, from bouquets to installations. One standout moment was the floral mantel she designed for the head table at the reception. It completely transformed the space, framing the couple beautifully and giving them a romantic, unforgettable backdrop for their dinner and toasts.

Maurissa was without a doubt the BEST DECISION we made for our wedding day! I literally cannot say enough good things to do her and her services justice. Even our whole wedding party and family that interacted with Maurissa throughout wedding day have also shared how awesome she was. She was fantastic from the moment we had our first introduction – she was so communicative and reassuring and worked with us to make sure we knew everything about Mind of Mo services prior to booking. That first impression is what helped us make our choice with booking her, and boy-oh-boy did she follow-through more than we could have imagined! Maurissa was also extremely patient with me - as a Type A Bride, I had sent her a lengthy list of desired photos prior to wedding day. I joked that it was a lot and she made me feel like it was totally normal. I know now that I never had to do this because her vision was magical - our favorite and featured photo is from our Sneak Peeks and was all her! What you want in a photographer is not only someone who will capture amazing photos, but also someone who will guide you through your wedding day. This is the person you will have the most interaction with all day long. Maurissa made the day fun, breezy, and even when we did have those anticipated mishaps occur (we knew there’d be at least one) she swooped in and literally saved the day. I am not being dramatic – my false eyelashes fell off not once but TWICE. The first time was right before my first look with my husband which caused a delay in our Timeline, and Maurissa flawlessly pivoted to make sure we stayed on track with time while they were re-glued onto my face. Then the second time the eyelashes came off, it was Maurissa herself who stepped up to the plate to make sure those babies were glued on right before I walked down the aisle. In this moment of panic for me, Maurissa had a confidence and calm demeanor that quickly put me at ease (and those eyelashes didn’t move again the whole night). On top of everything, our wedding was also on the far East side of Michigan, and Maurissa is based in Minnesota. We are extremely thankful that her services were offered at this distance! Our Sneak Peek photos are STUNNING and we are so excited to see the rest of them when they are ready!

We booked through Steve upfront and he was so terrific to work with on initial arrangements. Our DJ, Drew, was absolutely fantastic! He handled both our ceremony and reception music, and everything was seamless from start to finish. The ceremony music was perfect, the timing was exactly right, and he helped create the exact feeling we wanted for the day. He used my Spotify playlists as inspiration for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour music, so those moments felt completely like us and set the perfect vibe from the beginning. For the reception, he did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy going, and making sure everything flowed without us ever having to worry about what was happening next. One of the things we appreciated most was how much he cared about making the day personal. He worked behind the scenes with our officiant and friends on a few surprises, and those little moments ended up meaning so much to us. We wanted our wedding to feel relaxed, personal, and like a true celebration with our favorite people, and Drew played such a big part in creating that atmosphere. We are so glad he was part of our day and would absolutely recommend him!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJs are expected to be perfect, every second they are working, every day. No other job has this expectation. We understood this and wanted a human DJ, not a robot. We wanted a DJ company that can follow what we wanted, what we put on the forms, a DJ to play our music, fill in great songs to match our taste and style, to pack the dance floor (we know this isn't a reasonable request as this relies on guests, not solely the DJ alone), a DJ that can pick music to encourage guests to dance, and show up on time and do not a perfect job, but amazing job. And this DJ did just that! Our fear was a dance that had poor music and no dancers. That's it. We've seen so many other DJ fail at this. Not this DJ company, they were amazing and exceeded all requirements above. The DJ was outstanding and worth every penny. And I loved that I could call the COMPANY at 10pm with questions. Knock out job and very well done. Highly recommend these amazing (not perfect) humans! :)

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

DJ Services By Paul Young was an excellent choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Paul was prompt, informative and friendly, putting us at ease about the music and entertainment for our big day. On the wedding day, Paul's flexibility and great timing kept the party going all night. Even though we didn't have a big wedding, DJ Paul still managed to give us an amazing celebration that our guests are still talking about. We highly recommend DJ Services By Paul Young for any couple looking for a talented DJ who will work with you to make your wedding reception unforgettable. (Clouds in photo added for privacy)

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Allie. From start to finish, she brought such a positive energy to our wedding day and made us feel completely at ease. She thoughtfully planned out moments for my spouse and me to pause and soak in what was happening, which meant the world to us and helped us actually enjoy ourselves instead of just rushing through the day. Her professionalism shone through in every detail, and the sunset photos she captured are absolutely stunning. The light and airy feel of her work is exactly what we wanted. We were also really happy with her film edits, which perfectly captured the emotion and beauty of our day. We'd recommend Allie to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers gorgeous results.
