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!

I had no idea my community center was so beautiful! The windows gave the best backdrop, the bar was intentionally placed and detailed to perfection! The space was so beautiful on its own that we didn't have to lug in loads of decorations. The built in spot for the DJ was perfect! Comfortably fit our 175 people for dinner and dancing. The staff was knowledgeable and not overwhelming. Stupid good value! I loved having my wedding here!

My name is Morgan, the magician behind Mogue Films. I am a camera-woman, director, and editor, who is passionate about capturing all the fleeting moments of a wedding day, and then weaving it all into a film that you and your loved ones will cherish for the rest of your life. My cinematography and editing style can be described as dreamy, romantic, cinematic, and emotive. At heart, I am a storyteller. Every love story is unique and deserves to be captured and told in a beautiful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Morgan last minute to capture our wedding day. We weren't sure we would even hire a videographer for our day. It wasn't until I saw some of Morgan's films that I knew we had to hire her. When our wedding day came, Morgan and her assistant were a joy to work with the entire day. Once we got our wedding film, Evan and I were blown away by how perfectly she captured and curated our film. It truly shows how our day felt and brings us to tears every time we watch it. Many family members that couldn't make it due to the virus now had the chance to watch the best moments from our day and hear our vows exactly how they were said. I couldn't ask for a more perfect person to capture my day. Hire Morgan for your wedding day! You won't regret it! Thank you so much, Morgan! Xo, Mr. + Mrs. Lagerloef

Betsey and her team were absolute stars from day one. In a few words, professional, hardworking, and experts. I trusted everything they had to say. I went in to my bridal makeup and hair trial having an idea of what I wanted, but no idea on how best to execute. Betsey took the reigns and worked with my skin to achieve an exceptional look. Her team was incredible with hair too! Giving feedback has always been a little challenging for me, but calling Betsey up a few months before the wedding to discuss some changes to make was no issue. She came prepared with blotting papers, energy, and all the equipment necessary to tame the whole crew - even the ones that wanted last minute lashes and lipstick and hadn't paid yet. Luminous Beauty was on time, set up and tore down efficiently, and were strategic in their timeline for applying things like lipstick to achieve maximum impact for photos. Sitting in their chairs was like sitting in your own little bubble with them. You feel like you're the only person in the room, and they treat you with so much kindness and consideration. My mother and mother in law were not prepared with their look, but with some targeted questions by Luminous Beauty, they were looking like their best selves and were all extremely happy with the outcome. Luminous Beauty also showed us all how to insert and remove my veil which was a little tricker than expected! But we did it and it was an absolute success!. Everyone looked incredible that day, and we owe it all to Betsey and Luminous Beauty. An incredible team.

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

If you're on the fence like we were about having any videography at our wedding, and if you're reading this review, BOOK TIM AND LEXI. NOW. Just do it without hesitation because I can say with 100% certainty that you will have zero regrets and if you're like us, you'll look back and know it was one of the smartest decisions you've ever made. You'll have two of the best, kindest, most hilarious, crazy talented, incredibly hyped people by your side, crafting THE MOST beautiful, goosebumps-giving, heart-warming, fully authentically "us" wedding video that you and everyone you know have ever seen. This is a video for a lifetime of reliving the magic, some you experienced and some you didn't realize was happening, of your wedding day. That's part of what makes this team so amazing, it's not a one-size fits all "here's your standard wedding video with all the same moments that every other video on every other website has". Tim and Lexi get to know you, they pay attention, and discover, capture, and stitch together this amazing tapestry of video that perfectly encapsulates the "us" that is the you and your forever someone; the natural ease that exists in the moments when you're holding hands, or laughing at a silly inside joke, or just admiring one another. Not only are they amazingly talented, but they are SO GOOD at making you feel comfortable, guiding you along the process, coming up with fun things to do that would make great shots, and also being down to try new things and go with your ideas. When you look for a videography team, you want people who obsess over details, who are excited to be working with you, who love their craft and are consistently honing and refining and growing their repertoire, who want to really understand your relationship, and are people you want to hang out with and share your special day with - Tim and Lexi are all of these things and after our whole experience, we are honored to call them our friends. We hope so many more people get to share in the pure joy and happiness that comes with working with these two.

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO glad we hired Bonnie for both our engagement & wedding photos! Not only are her pictures gorgeous, fun, and full of natural personality, but she is just a total joy to work with! We were both a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Bonnie made us completely comfortable to be ourselves and made it feel like we were just hangin' with a pal. Our entire family loved her too! She was fun, friendly, respectful, and super great at her job. We all secretly wish we could be friends with Bonnie cause she's one super cool lady and an amazingly skilled photographer! Highly recommend!

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

Family-owned & operated since 1982, Broders' Cucina's Catering services are here to bring Italy to your table. What started as a humble deli selling fresh pasta, we are now considered a neighborhood institution with three Italian concepts in Southwest Minneapolis. We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic both their Italian origins and our Minnesota roots.

Broders' Catering was a wonderful choice for our wedding. The catering specialist was clear, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. The food they provided was delicious, authentic, and served in good portions. Their drop-off catering service helped eliminate stress during an already busy time, and the plating and presentation of the dishes made it easy for us to serve right away with little to no preparation. The food was not only delicious, but also well-priced for the quality - we even had leftovers! We highly recommend Broders' Catering for any special event.
