Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful to have had Cara Winter as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us—our story, our values, and what mattered most to us for our ceremony. What she created was more than we ever imagined: a deeply meaningful, personal, and unforgettable experience. One of the most special parts of our ceremony was the Celtic handfasting. Cara not only explained the symbolism beautifully but thoughtfully wove in elements of our families' heritage, making it feel like a true reflection of who we are and where we come from. It was powerful, emotional, and something our guests are still talking about. Cara’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire process feel effortless. She brought so much heart and intention to every word she spoke, and helped us create a ceremony that was truly our own. If you are looking for an officiant who honors your love story and crafts something deeply unique, Cara is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful start to our marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start?! We had Hanna Marie Events for our Day of Coordinator, Content Creation, and we also did the Wedding Management Package. If I could go back, I would do the same thing over again! From the very beginning, Hanna felt like a friend. She’s incredibly sweet, down to earth, and is truly there to support you in creating the best day of your life. On top of that, she’s very knowledgeable, organized, and can probably answer any question you’d ever have. Throughout the planning process, I always felt supported. Hanna responds quickly to emails and was always in my corner helping me make the right decisions when I had no clue what I was doing. There’s no way our wedding would have turned out so seamless and beautiful if it wasn’t for HME. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and beautifully. They were so on top of everything, they worked with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, it couldn’t have gone better. Having them there took off more stress than I can explain, and instead of worrying about random things, we got to enjoy our day and take in each moment. Lastly, content creation! We opted out of doing a videographer and instead chose content creation with HME. Best decision ever!!! She captured all the moments, big and small. She captured details from the venue, our first look, ceremony, dancing, etc etc. Anything you’d want videos of, Hanna’s got it. It’s been so fun to reminisce on our day, and looking back at all the videos is the best part. Hanna captured once in a lifetime moments that came and went in an instant, but now we have forever. Thank you SO MUCH Hanna, Brooke Team. You guys are amazing!!!!!

MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist.

A true professional with an enjoyable personality and overall great vibes. Can’t thank her enough!

  • Serves Hopkins, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

When we began planning our 2024 wedding, Watson Block was the first venue we toured, and we immediately knew it would also be the last! Watson Block's intimate space and Art Deco vibes was perfect for our small (50 guests) wedding. Gaby was so easy to work with, being extremely communicative, professional, and patient with all the questions we had throughout the process. Watson Block's relationships with its partner caterers also made it a one-stop shop for our venue, food, and bar needs. Not only is the space gorgeous and the service top-tier, the price was remarkably affordable, especially given its location in the heart of Minneapolis!

From the moment we began working with FIVE Event Center, we felt supported, and that feeling only deepened on our wedding day. The space itself is stunning, with a romantic industrial feel that feels both elegant and warm, but what truly sets FIVE apart is the people. Robin and her team took an incredible amount of stress off our shoulders. They handled the flow of the day with such calm confidence that if anything was frustrating or unexpected, we never felt it. Their professionalism and quiet reassurance allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy every moment. We even had a last-minute oversight and forgot our cake cutting supplies - and somehow, without hesitation, Robin completely saved the day (and our photos) by magically having exactly what we needed. It was one of those moments that could have caused stress, but instead became a reminder that we were in the best possible hands. We had initially worried about parking, but it ended up being a non-issue - not a single guest mentioned it. Everything flowed smoothly, the space photographed beautifully, and our guests consistently commented on how welcoming, beautiful, and well-run the venue felt. We are so grateful to Robin and the entire FIVE Event Center team for creating an experience that felt seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely cared for. We would wholeheartedly recommend FIVE to any couple looking for a beautiful space paired with a team that truly goes above and beyond.

I was so on the fence deciding if I wanted a makeup and hairstylist, I am someone who is confident with doing my makeup but hair is always hit or miss. I decided I wanted to just forgo the stress of getting myself ready so I messaged Primped because I thought their prices and stipulations on their site were fair. They assigned me to Kimmy as my artist and I cannot give her enough praise. She is so down to earth and honest and also very good at explaining everything and she did a phenomenal job. I had my makeup and hair trial and wore it to work and got so many compliments. The day of my wedding I unfortunately broke out with some small spots of acne because hormones but she did such a great job that it wasn't even noticeable. I had so many compliments and I felt so beautiful during my big day. Also, the communication with Justine was flawless. She handled everything from the coordinating standpoint and there were no hiccups with planning. I would 100% recommend Primped!! Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting errors, hopefully I can add them later.

Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The entire team puts their best foot forward. The value of the service, food, beverages, and overall experience is absolutely worth the cost, and compared to other venues, it’s not overpriced in my opinion.

When we first toured Nicollet Island Pavillion we met Morgan. She was incredibly helpful starting from the initial planning stages, selecting a date, and arranging a special tasting to accommodate the bride's dairy and gluten allergies. Mintahoe was so on top of it that they even had multiple gluten and dairy free wedding cakes for the bride to taste. This was especially impressive to us because other gluten and dairy free bakeries wouldn't even accommodate cake tastings. (The cakes were all delicious. We went with chocolate raspberry/ lemon poppyseed with lemon curd and vanilla buttercream.) Morgan went above and beyond through every step of the planning process, and she and the Mintahoe staff thought of everything. At our final planning meeting we met Nikita. She had the venue set up and then we went through every step of the day according to the timeline. On the big day, Nikita coordinated with our DJ, Pastor, and Photographers and things could not have gone better! A few things that really stood out to us were: - After the ceremony, the venue had our favorite drinks and small appetizer plates ready for us in the back room. - The late night snacks (nacho bar and wings) were also allergen free. - They put up all of our signage and place cards (which saves a lot of stress). Overall, the day was so perfect because of Morgan, Nikita, and Mintahoe's professionalism and planning. As the bride and groom, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day!

Adrian Steinbach Photography was a dream to work with from start to finish. Her detail-oriented, direct, and honest communication style put us at ease in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Adrian is a true artist, with a striking style that beautifully captured the moments of our day, from the quirky moments to the profoundly intimate. She went above and beyond her duties as a photographer, helping us develop our day-of timeline and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Despite being in high demand, Adrian made us feel like our wedding was the only one that mattered, and her deep knowledge and experience shone through in the stunning photos she delivered. When we received the final images, the joy and beauty they conveyed brought me to tears all over again. These pictures mean everything to us.

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

He has a way of making the whole experience feel natural and fun, putting us completely at ease in front of the camera. He captured our connection in such an authentic way. Nothing felt forced, just real moments full of love. We would absolutely work with Eric again in a heartbeat.

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Britt was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. Her planning was seamless, and her communication was clear. We always felt we were in good and trustworthy hands. On the day itself, she fit in perfectly with the mood, striking the ideal blend of hip, professional, fun, and generous. Her coordination was excellent, and she moved through the day with an effortless balance of direction and ease. The photos Britt captured were outstanding. She has a remarkable eye for composition, space, and detail. Her images are deeply felt, beautifully composed, and consistently strong. They created exactly the look we’d hoped for, capturing the energy and emotion of the day without ever feeling staged or intrusive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone seeking a photographer who brings artistry, warmth, and genuine care to her work.

Looking for your wedding venue? Look no further! The Graduate was the most exceptional venue for our big day! Planning: Michael was phenomenal from day one. We live out of state and did much of our planning via emails/calls. We were able to see the venue when it worked with our schedule and Michael was quick to respond when we had questions. Michael is great at setting timelines and gives a really easy excel to assist with the food planning. Location: Parking ramp with a skywalk attached and many amenities in walking distance! Our guests had so many compliments about the ease of our location as well as HOW COOL the hotel is. It is so unique and offers something for everyone. We booked the get ready room and that was nice to have the night before and day off for people to meet up in. We also did the Top Golf Suite the morning of and the groomsmen had a blast. Food: The catering package was amazing. Our guests continue to rave about the food. The cocktail hour had amazing snacks! The team even made sure my husband and I got our own plate to enjoy. Dinner was seamless and the portions were huge. No one was left hungry. Our late night pizza was also a hit! Staff: The staff from the front desk, to the bartenders, to the catering team, EVERYONE WAS AMAZING. So kind, always had a smile and there were no hiccups. If we had any questions they were eager to help and kept everything on track. Price: You get a lot for what you pay for. The package included perks as well! Overall: I would get married here again in a heartbeat. My husband and I had so much fun and the entire Graduate team was amazing. Do not overlook this amazing venue!
