“We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.”

“We had the best experience working with Andrew! He worked his butt off on our wedding day — calm, composed, and totally open to the (very long!) list of shots I wanted. He remembered which locations mattered to us and made sure we got everything we envisioned. Leading up to the wedding, he was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We had multiple check-in calls, and he was always helpful, professional, and kind. On the day of, he directed us efficiently so we could get our photos done and get back to enjoying celebration with our friends and family without feeling rushed or stressed. He brought such a positive, calming energy and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He captured a perfect mix of posed and candid moments, and he even coordinated with our DJ, planner, and hair/makeup team to make sure everything flowed smoothly. We recently got our photos back and absolutely love them. It’s clear that Andrew’s work is a step above — the images are not only stunning, but they feel personal, artful, and full of life.

“I recently had my wedding at North Garden Theater and could not have been happier. This was such a gem to find. Ryan and Tina were amazing to work with, so responsive and helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure your event goes perfectly. Tables, chairs and linens came with the rental, which most places do not do. We got to customize the lighting, the dance party lighting (which is extensive with fog machine!), and the entire layout. They have a bar onsite and the cocktails were great! They were able to serve our guests very quickly. We used multiple Spotify playlists for our music and Ryan was on point switching between them at the right times. The facilities were amazing too; large dressing room to get ready, and nice big bathrooms that they continually cleaned throughout the night. They are also big on reducing waste so we were able to use all compostable cups, which we also had our caterer use all compostable plates and silverware. I really do not have enough great things to say about Ryan, Tina and NGT; they made such a magical day for us!!!”

Groovytown Entertainment is a premier wedding DJ and entertainment service, offering a unique blend of music, lighting, and photo booth fun to make your special day unforgettable. We fully understand that every wedding is different, and that’s why for over six years, we’ve been providing personalized service and attention to detail, to our couples in the Twin Cities and nearby areas of Wisconsin, to suit their style and vision. From ceremony to reception, we’ll keep the dance floor packed and your guests entertained. Groovytown Entertainment will bring the groove & vibe to your wedding celebration, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

“We hired Groovytown Entertainment for our wedding in August 2023, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made! After searching for a DJ for about two weeks, we stumbled upon Groovytown Entertainment through Instagram, and everything fell into place. Our main focus was on the ceremony, as we wanted my cousins to play piano and guitar while guests arrived. We needed a DJ who could seamlessly accommodate this setup. At the same time, we also wanted someone who could keep the dance floor packed all night—both my family and my wife’s family love to dance! When we reached out, we connected with Biko, who immediately impressed us during a video chat. Just minutes into the call, we knew we were in good hands. Biko’s expertise with weddings was evident; he had so much energy and gave us insights about the timeline and flow of the day that we hadn’t even considered. It was clear he cared deeply about making our day perfect, and we booked him the very next day. Leading up to the wedding, we had two more meetings with Biko to finalize every detail. He was thorough, organized, and made sure everything was streamlined for our big day. On the wedding day, Biko arrived on time and had everything set up for our cousins to perform during the ceremony. The ceremony went flawlessly, and when it was time for the reception, we already knew we were in for a great time. Biko did not disappoint! We danced non-stop from the moment the music started until the venue literally couldn’t accommodate us anymore. Biko knew exactly how to get everyone on the dance floor—even the guests who normally prefer to sit and watch. Up to this day, we’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how amazing the day was, and much of that is thanks to Biko. If you’re looking for the BEST DJ for your wedding, we highly recommend Groovytown Entertainment and DJ Biko. We’d choose him over and over again without hesitation!”

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!

I loved hanging with her while getting ready. She is easy to talk to and super kind. She worked efficiently and made it look easy, pulling off the exact look we were going for. From a special touch at the trial with a little vase of flowers to arriving on time and in good spirits, I felt that she really enjoyed being a part of my wedding experience. I highly recommend Kristy at The Suite Seat, she really builds relationships and is so talented!”

“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!”

“Our wedding at Le Venerè was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first saw the venue, we knew it was something incredibly special, and it ended up being everything we could have hoped for and more. The space itself is absolutely STUNNING. The chandeliers, the architecture, the elegance of the entire venue — it created the most beautiful and romantic atmosphere for our wedding day. We wanted a venue that felt timeless, elegant, and magical, and Le Venerè was exactly that. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous it was! One of our favorite things about Le Venerè was how perfectly the space flowed throughout the entire day. We were able to have our ceremony there, transition seamlessly into cocktail hour, and then move into dinner and dancing without ever losing the magic of the space. Every part of the day felt distinct while still feeling cohesive, and we loved that our guests were able to experience everything the venue had to offer. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour felt so elegant, dinner was absolutely magical under the chandeliers, and then the space transformed into the perfect place to celebrate and dance the night away. It truly gave us everything we wanted for our wedding in one incredible location. Le Venerè will always hold such a special place in our hearts because it was the setting where we officially began our marriage and created some of our favorite memories together. When we look back at our wedding photos, we are still blown away by how beautiful everything was. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels romantic, elegant, timeless, and completely unforgettable, we cannot recommend Le Venerè enough.

“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”

She were incredibly easy to work with, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Kat's ability to provide clear directions on how to pose was a game-changer, ensuring we got the best shots possible. Communication was top-notch throughout the process, making coordination seamless. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this photographer for any future photoshoots. You won't be disappointed!”

“The Landmark Center was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was excellent - clear, quick to reply, and incredibly organized. The team, led by Hilari, went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed of. We were even able to do our first look and photos in the bell tower, which was such a unique and memorable experience. There are so many beautiful rooms and spaces to get ready in, take photos in, etc. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Landmark Center to any couple. Hilari, and the entire staff were so kind, helpful, and made the planning process a breeze. Our wedding day was perfect.”

“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.”
