It was not only a baby shower but a bit of a reunion too. The Event Center exceeded our expectations. The space is fresh, bright, and comfortable. From the minute we contacted Todd, the owner, we were treated like guests. Todd listened to us and helped us achieve our vision and goals for the event. His efficient and consultative approach was greatly appreciated. He was very friendly and supportive throughout the process. He made it easy to secure the space and plan the event. Todd's communication throughout the planning process, as well as at the event, was great. He worked with us closely to understand our vision for table setup, activities, gift tables, dessert table, and decorations. He sincerely wanted to make is special for us and provided great hospitality from the day we called him until we walked out the door following our event. The staff was flexible and very personable throughout our event. They handled the details, allowing us to enjoy this special time with family and friends. We also used Scheel's Catering for the event and were very happy with the buffet setup, quality of food and portions. The desserts were especially popular with our guests! We appreciated the flexibility and attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with Todd and the team at Stillwater Event Center. The location is conveniently located off Highway 36, making it easy for locals as well as out-of-town guests.

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!”

They delivered everything to our wedding, set it all up beautifully, and truly made the entire process so easy. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Our guests were raving about the desserts even weeks after the wedding, and we had multiple people ask us where they came from. Everything was delicious, and it was such a hit with everyone! A huge shoutout to Makenzi, who I communicated with throughout the planning process. Her attention to detail, quick communication, and willingness to help made such a huge difference. She made me feel confident that we had chosen the right place for our wedding. She recommended different desserts and flavors based on what we were looking for, which made the decision-making process so much easier than I expected. We also had a cake/dessert tasting with Makenzi before the wedding, where we were able to try all of the different options we could choose from. This was SO helpful and made it much easier to decide what we wanted. If you prefer, Keys also offers the option to take a cake tasting home with you so you can try everything from the comfort of your own home! From the delicious desserts, affordable pricing, beautiful setup, delivery, and incredible communication, Keys Café & Bakery went above and beyond for our wedding.

If you’re planning a wedding and looking for delicious, affordable desserts with a team that truly cares, I cannot recommend Keys Café & Bakery enough! They were absolutely amazing, and I’m so glad we chose them for our special day”

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

Whether your style is elegant, rustic, romantic, or completely unique, the space works beautifully and lets your personality shine through. One thing we really appreciated was that the venue's policies felt thoughtful and reasonable. We never felt restricted or like we were constantly being told "no." Instead, it felt like they had rules that protected the property while still allowing us the flexibility to create the wedding we wanted. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was. Our out-of-town guests were especially amazed that a place this beautiful even exists. It truly left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. What stood out most, though, was how much the team genuinely cares. You can tell they take pride in the property and are invested in making sure every couple has an incredible experience. We are so grateful we chose The Gardens of Castle Rock and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team behind it.”

Divine Swine Catering 
Rating: 4.8 (59 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Stillwater, MN

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.

We are a husband and wife team photographing weddings since 2010. We're total geeks that love music and films. When not photographing weddings, we love playing with our dogs and cats, watching music videos, cartoons, and horror movies, and photographing other things.

“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.”

“Kerri Ann Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the first time we spoke, her communication was professional and clear, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, her team was incredibly helpful, and kept our wedding party on track as we moved between locations. They stayed calm and confident, guiding us through each shot with fun and thoughtful prompts. The final images are absolutely stunning - the perfect combination of staged, candid and detail shots. They are the highest quality that truly captures the joy and emotion of our special day.

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.”
