Shara's Floral Designs 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Oakdale, MN
  • Florist

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough amazing things about Shara. My jaw DROPPED when I first saw my bouquet on my wedding day!! Everything was so thoughtfully designed and came together beautifully. I am still in awe of how dreamy it was. She understood my vision, was so easy to work with, and knocked it out of the park. I would recommend her to anyone!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Sammy was an absolute rockstar! Choosing her as our day-of-coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From helping us nail down all the details to being the calm, reassuring voice we needed the day of, she was excellent! I wasn't quite sure I would need a day-of-coordinator since I'm very organized and DIY-oriented, but boy am I glad we did. Being able to spend the day relaxed knowing that Sammy had everything taken care of was a godsend. And, on top of it all, she's a joy to be around. I would recommend Sammy to anyone getting married.

Plain and simple, we just love being a part of your love story! We love to hear how you met and live the greatest day of your lives, thus far, with you! We love to make memories and have them to help you relive even the smallest details of your day, over and over again.

I am so incredibly thankful we chose Agape Moments Photography for our wedding. Our photos were one of the most important parts of the entire day to me, and I made sure Sarah knew that from the beginning. I told her that even if the cake didn’t show up or dinner was ruined, it would have been less upsetting to me than not having beautiful photos. That is how much they mattered to me. Sarah absolutely exceeded every expectation. She captured the big moments, the emotional moments, all the little details, my dress, the ceremony, the golden hour photos, and everything in between so beautifully. I honestly cannot even pick a top 10 because I am obsessed with every single gallery. What meant the most is that she truly listened to what mattered to me. She made sure I got the photos I wanted, and you can tell she put so much care into editing and delivering a gallery that we will treasure forever. I would recommend Agape Moments Photography over and over again, especially to any bride who deeply cares about her wedding photos like I did.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow. Candi did the most amazing job. She was such a dream to work with. Her responses were immediate, professional, transparent, and supportive. Her attention to detail was immaculate; she emailed me about two weeks before the wedding to ask if she could use a clay vase rather than a glass one like we had discussed for the memorial table. That extreme attention to detail was obvious in every single bouquet she made. She even surprised me with little flower clippings for my photographer to use for detail photos !! She showed the most care during the consultation process of any florist I talked to and after our initial phone call sent me a packet with the types of flowers she wanted to use along with inspiration pictures. The flowers were beyond my wildest dreams. She understood exactly what I wanted and wasn’t afraid to go all in. As our needs changed the closer we got to the date, she was happy to update the invoice and resend it (about a million times, sorry Candi lol) so we were both on the same page. Flowers were the easiest part of planning my wedding because Candi was so on top of it. They were my favorite part of my wedding and I will never forget how blown away I was the first time I saw my bouquet

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.

She was very affordable and super transparent about pricing. The original cake design I showed her was done with fondant but due to how expensive it was I went with buttercream and was a bit worried it wouldn’t turn out as nice but it turned out better than I could have ever hoped! I also sent her some color swatches and she nailed the colors! The pick up process was quick and smooth as well! If you are on the fence on who should do your cake you NEED to pick Katie!

Shannon did my makeup, my moms makeup, and 2 of my bridesmaids and we all looked GORGEOUS! To top it all off the ceremony was in the rain(more than a sprinkle) and my makeup completely held up through the tears and standing in the rain for pictures and the ceremony. She was the best and was super fun to work with!!!

Best Man Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding. A great DJ at a great price. Paul, the owner, is extremely accommodating and easy to work with. He was so eager to meet our every request and need. He went above and beyond the day of our reception, and we could not be happier with how things went. If I had to book a DJ again I would absolutely choose Best Man Entertainment.

The Refuge Golf Club is one of our favorite wedding venues to work with! With multiple ceremony location options, including a romantic indoor fireplace option for the colder months (or as a backup in the summer in the event of rain) you can guarantee your wedding will be gorgeous! We especially love to photograph at The Refuge because we always know that even in the event of less-than-ideal weather the large overhang of the roof on both sides of the club house will still allow us to get outdoor photos without having to step into the elements. You can guarantee that the wedding coordinators at The Refuge care about your big day and will put their all into making sure that your wedding runs smoothly. Christa and Lisa are attentive, professional, and always go above and beyond to ensure that your day is as perfect as you imagined. We love that there is so much opportunity for photos! If you are feeling adventurous and timing allows on your day, our studio is local, so we know lots of hidden gems for photography as well. You will not be disappointed with your Refuge wedding choice!
