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! :)

I loved working with Katie! I showed her a picture of exactly what I wanted my cake to look like and she NAILED it! It was even better than the picture! 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! She truly is amazing!

Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding!

On the day of our wedding, their DJ was so in tune with our favorite songs and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The only minor downside was that our social hour location wasn't able to have music, but overall their service and value was fantastic. I'd give them a 9/10 rating and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding entertainment team.

Ari was so wonderful to work with and efficient! At a wedding where I was the planner/coordinator, there were so many moving parts, and times were getting pushed around on the timeline. She and I worked together and communicated efficiently to get things back on track and made sure the couple was happy and got all their pictures.

Jacqueline was amazing. For the pricing in the area I would say that this was actually very fair and the price that I paid was less than the quality I got.

Paul was very communicative and friendly. He was very helpful in planning the whole day! We booked him for the ceremony and reception and he did a great job! He was also very flexible when my anxiety as the bride decided to change a couple things up last minute and not do the shoe game and move up the first dance. He took requests and even played songs that I didn't even know existed when he was asked. My husband and I asked for a specific song that meant a lot to us and he even was able to play that, even though the band is a small Minnesota band. His pricing is also very reasonable and I heard he was better than other DJs that have higher price points. Definitely recommend him!

Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited!

Essen Events 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Stillwater, MN

Essen Events is an award winning Event Production business in the Twin Cities. We offer floral design, event design, and multiple wedding planning packages. We take pride in our clients, and specialize in telling your love story through the design for your event.

Essen is easily the best choice for your wedding. Hailey walked with us through the entire planning process: suggesting vendors, offering her opinions and making our Pinterest boards a reality. She held our wedding day vision in high regard and used her incredible eye for design to transform that vision into a real space. She has extensive experience within the industry and knows how to run big weddings, small weddings and weddings with nontraditional schedules. Without Hailey, I would have been running around on our wedding day, making sure everything was in place. Instead, she solved every problem before I realized it could be an issue, letting me enjoy the day without a worry. We had a nontraditional schedule for our wedding day with two receptions right after one another and Hailey had absolutely no problem making that work. She connected with each of our vendors and made sure they were all on the same page so the day went seamlessly. Hailey did an amazing job on our florals too! Our bouquets were absolutely breathtaking and the greenery installation and other florals at our reception really tied the whole look together. At our planning meetings, she took meticulous notes so she could understand what we wanted and the end result was more beautiful than I could have imagined. In short, Hailey listens to what you want and makes it happen.

I love Candi's precious Pedals. The arrangements are always so well done. And Candi is so easy to work with. She always bends backward to make sure we are happy with her product.

I spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. She exuded calm and was incredibly organized, her professionalism showing in every planning session and resource. She even provided a photography planning guide full of wedding day resources, tips, and vendor recommendations. On the day of our wedding, Natalie navigated my massive bridal party with ease, capturing every carefully considered detail and breathtaking wide-angle shot of every moment. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. And then, while we were on our honeymoon, she surprised us only a few days later with stunning sneak peek shots! She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.

Three generations, family-owned bakery. We are well known for our made from scratch treats since 1933. We specialize in custom cakes and pastries. We are a full-service bakery and can do any type of desserts for your event.

Sweet Kneads Bakery did a fantastic job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! Their communication was excellent throughout the planning process - they responded quickly whenever we had questions or wanted to tweak the designs. The end results were absolutely delicious and beautifully decorated. Our guests loved being able to try multiple tiny cupcakes in different flavors. Despite creating such customized and high-quality baked goods, Sweet Kneads provided great value for the cost. We would happily recommend them to any couple looking for a baker that will help make their wedding extra sweet!
