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
Shara's Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was professional, clear, and thoughtful, ensuring we were always on the same page. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the bouquets, centerpieces, and other florals were absolutely beautiful, showcasing Shara's attention to detail and ability to bring our vision to life. She transformed the venue with her excellent choice of flowers, candles, votives, etc. perfectly matching the wedding's color palette and overall vibe. We were also very grateful she offers to tear down/clean up - not having to worry about doing it ourselves at the end of the night allowed us to enjoy our reception until the very last minute. Shara truly went above and beyond to make our wedding feel even more magical. We can't recommend Shara's Floral Designs highly enough.

Behind the Board DJ Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (4 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
Behind the Board DJ Entertainment was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first conversation, Steve was so fun, positive, and incredibly detailed in his planning. His communication was top-notch, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. Steve kept the dance floor packed all night long, even joining us out there himself at one point! We can't recommend Behind the Board DJ Entertainment highly enough - Steve was worth every penny and truly made our wedding unforgettable.

10 out of 10 recommend! I want to start off by saying that I am a very type A bride but also a big DIYer and music fanatic. All of that makes me a difficult person to please but this team did it! I spent months planning every detail of my wedding, down to choreographer-like timing on my music and I won’t lie, when I tried to plan details with them months before and was told they prefer to discuss details the week of the wedding (so that details are ACTUALLY finalized), I was a bit stressed. However, all of my stress, worry, and fears melted away after an early on problem solving call with Ben, a very detail-oriented call with Luke the week of the wedding, and of course, our wonderful DJ Josiah putting in the time and effort to make sure he and I were on the same page with all of my very specific requests and overly detailed information! I would highly recommend DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment to anyone for all of your DJing needs! This is a pretty long review, but this team is well deserving of all of these words! Like I mentioned above, I am a challenge to please, especially when it comes to a day as important as my wedding day and for me, music being one of the most important components of the day. If you’re like me, book this team and rest assured, because DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment executed my wishes down to the smallest details and Josiah was the literal BEST! Thank you so much for making my music dreams come true!

I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Kaleigh brought a calm, steady presence that allowed us to feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Looking through our photos, we’re struck not only by how beautiful they are, but by how genuinely they reflect the emotion and atmosphere of the day. Kaleigh has an incredible ability to capture quiet, meaningful moments alongside joyful movement and celebration. The natural light, thoughtful composition, and attention to detail give our photos a timeless quality that feels effortless rather than staged. Every image feels intentional and true to how the day actually felt. What truly set Kaleigh apart, though, was her professionalism and composure. We experienced a few unexpected moments during our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and discretion. If it affected her at all, she never let it show - and even more importantly, she made sure we never felt it. Her calm presence allowed us to stay fully present, which meant more than we can put into words. Kaleigh was attentive without ever being intrusive, supportive without drawing attention, and deeply respectful of the emotions of the day. These photographs don’t just document our wedding they absolutely preserve the feeling of it. We are incredibly grateful for her care, artistry, and professionalism, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for photographs that feel both refined and deeply personal.

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

I had a wonderful experience working with Candi's Precious Petals for our wedding. The team was incredibly kind, down to earth, and highly effective in their communication. The floral arrangements they created were truly beautiful, stunning, and timeless. They helped transform the space with enchanting pops of pink, orange, and blue that kept the atmosphere warm and inviting. The flowers they prepared for each table were simply gorgeous. I would highly recommend Candi's Precious Petals to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding florist.

Highly recommend! They were incredibly patient and made the whole experience fun, especially for my very camera-shy teen. The photos turned out beautiful and natural, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
