Ashley Larae MUA 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Dayton, MN

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. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley did my makeup as well as my mother’s for my wedding day, and there aren’t enough positive words I could use to describe the wonderful experience I had with her. She is so truly talented at her craft and is easy and fun to work with! I was very pleased with my trial run and she somehow perfected the look even more for the big day - I have never felt more beautiful than I did at my wedding thanks to the work she did. A true professional with an enjoyable personality and overall great vibes. Can’t thank her enough!

Jess was able to see our vision and help us make it happen! Since we did more of an elopement, Jess became a huge part of our small gathering. We were able to completely enjoy our day without any worries. She helped us stick to our timeline, get the family photos we wanted, and suggested many fun and goofy poses! Looking back on all the photos, Jess captured every moment we could have wanted and more. We are able to see moments that we didn't even realize occurred.

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! Watson Block made it possible for us to have our dream wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Gaby and the entire team!

Machine Shop is a historic, unique and bright venue in the heart of the vibrant St. Anthony neighborhood of Minneapolis. Steps from the Mississippi River, Machine Shop hosts a variety of events in its open, flexible space. From intimate to large groups, Machine Shop has been carefully restored with the specific needs of a high-end private event space in mind, keeping the original 1916 architectural details intact, while introducing modern luxury in this industrial space for all types of events. The innate character and modern updates of the historic building set the stage for clients and guests to experience events like never before in Minneapolis.

The Machine Shop was the only venue my wife and I looked at for our wedding. We have performed as string quartet musicians at a plethora of venues in the Twin Cities and beyond, and this was the first and only venue where as a vendor I looked at it and thought: "I could get married here." The biggest draws were: amazing indoor location, unique space, easy to find parking, close to home, and option for both ceremony and reception to be in the same space. Communication with the venue staff was quick, fast, and easy to understand our options. The select caterers and onsite only liquor selections were excellent and had a wide variety of tastes and options. We went with Brasa and 2 hosted signature cocktails during cocktail hour - the food and drink were such a hit and people could not stop saying how great Brasa was and the cocktails! We had so much fun on our wedding night and everything came together so well. We worked with Lauren from Machine Shop and she was amazing, we got to meet with her for a wine tasting with our families and she answered all of our many questions as well as helped us figure out our drink preferences. So many of our friends and family commented on how this was one of the most fun wedding venues they had been to and we couldn't agree more!

There was plenty of parking for everyone and easy for guests to find. We worked with Nicole and she was so organized and answered all of my questions to make the day so smooth.

Sea Circus Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Dayton, MN

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

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.

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.

Hello my name is Stephanie, I have been a licensed cosmologist for the last 10 years! I started working in a lot of blow dry bars for about 6 years and that brought me to doing bridal hair. I truly love styling hair!!! I have been doing bridal hair for the last 7 years and I love it!!!!

I couldn't be happier with the incredible work Stephanie did for our wedding. With much of my wedding party having long, thick hair, I was worried about finding someone who could create a style that would not only look stunning but also hold up throughout the entire day. Stephanie exceeded all our expectations, creating perfect styles for all of us! From the trial session to the wedding day, she was professional, attentive, and truly understood the look I wanted to achieve. She worked her magic on my hair, creating beautiful curls and a style that remained flawless from the first photos to last call. Not only did she make my hair look amazing, but she also worked wonders on my bridal party. Each of my bridesmaids had different hair types, and she tailored their styles perfectly, leaving everyone thrilled with the results. Her calm and friendly demeanor made the getting-ready process enjoyable and stress-free. She even helped my sisters learn how to best put in and take out my veil, along with other personal touches for each of us that truly were above and beyond. I received countless compliments on my hair, and I couldn't recommend Stephanie more highly to any bride.

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.

Thistle Floral

  • Florist
  • Serves Dayton, MN

I heard someone say once, "What people come to you for is what you're good at." Since I haven't figured out a way to make a career out of eating candy and watching Law & Order, the next thing would be Floral Design. What I thought would be 'just a part time job' at a neighborhood flower shop, turned out to be the greatest, most challenging, and beautiful adventure. After years of working in the retail shop environment (and meeting two of my now nearest and dearest friends), it was very obvious that I should expand my knowledge in the floral industry.

Alex of Thistle is truly the most creative florist. I chose her due to her unique vision and personality. My flowers were incredible and my bouquet was one of my favorite parts of my decor. She is so fun and makes the planning process easy and joyful. Book her! <3

Since the beginning, hair and make-up has been my passion as well as being “upside down.” It has been on my mind and a fiber of my being since four years old. I was cartwheeling into hair and makeup for friends and family. Just an active, outdoorsy gal that loves to enhance all beauty.

Sarah at Studio X were an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. Their communication was consistently warm, engaging, and supportive throughout the planning process, putting me at ease. With years of experience under her belt, Sarah brought immense creativity to crafting my one-of-a-kind bridal look, perfectly capturing my unique style vision while keeping the vibe lighthearted and fun. I felt like a glowing goth goddess thanks to Sarah's skilled hand with hair and makeup. She even involved collaboration with her companion Billy to capture video and photos documenting the glam process itself so I can reminisce on those special getting-ready moments for years to come. Their top-notch artistry and caring approach made working with Studio X a wonderful highlight of my wedding preparations.

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

As a wedding photographer, I've experienced the impact vendor communication has on the overall perfection of a wedding day. I have had several opportunities to work along side Tyler Herwig and even though our wedding day roles are different Tyler's professionalism and attention to detail spills out inspiring everyone involved to go above and beyond. Knowing that Tyler is keeping guests entertained during happy hour helped my bride and groom relax while we took some time for a few post ceremony photos. Tyler easily makes the switch from ceremony accompaniment to happy hour melodies to filling the air with that perfect love song as the bride and groom dance their first dance. I highly recommend Tyler Herwig to create that perfect 'soundtrack' for your special day.

Erica did my hair for my wedding as well as several of my bridesmaids. Not only did she do a great job and everyone's hair stayed in place all day, she was FAST and efficient. She gets your vision and gets down to business. She will also consult with you and give advice if you've made a request that may not work very well with your hair, which I really appreciated. She's also super receptive if you want her to make any adjustments. I was so happy with how my hair turned out and I know my bridesmaids were happy with theirs too!

As a master hair and makeup artist, I’ve crafted captivating looks for brides and wedding parties showcasing my expertise in creating diverse styles for a range of clients. My artistry not only enhances natural beauty but also reflects adaptability and creativity, making me a sought-after professional in the beauty industry. I am addicted (in a very delightful and rewarding way) to the feeling and vibe of happy wedding parties. Creating hair and make up artistry not only creates confidence and joy but also adds to the special atmosphere of the occasion. Creating special moments and long lasting beautiful photos is something I live for.

Jennifer Adler is a true genius! I have been a Client of hers for years including eyelash extensions, getting professional makeup done, and hair appointments. When I was planning my wedding, I only had one name in mind and I was just HOPING that she was going to have openings and was so happy that she did! Not only did she do an incredible job on my hair and makeup (I truly felt stunning), she also made my mom, niece, and bridesmaids feel stunning as well! Jennifer was communicative, easy to collaborate with, and is so exceptionally talented. I didn't have any worries or concerns that I would look beautiful on my wedding day. I would recommend Jen to ANYONE! She is the epitome of both professionalism and fun!

A camera is a miracle. They allow you to capture a moment in time and then allow you to relive that moment forever. We make wedding films for the memories, the intimacy, and the heirlooms. Every. Moment. Is. Priceless. And you deserve to have it all captured, in a beautifully cinematic wedding film from Kings Films that tells the full story of the best day of your life.

there are not enough words to express how amazing Ariel and his team are! They went above, and beyond what we asked for and we are so grateful that we decided to go with this videographer team. Our thoughts for our video felt out there, and I had quite a few people give me strange looks when I was explaining what I wanted done. But Ariel was excited about the style and had so many ideas off the bat. I am so grateful that we decided to go with his team for our wedding! If we ever need another videographer, he’s the one I’m going to call!

Welcome to my corner of the internet :) I’m a couple’s and wedding photographer based in Minnesota! It is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography. I want images to feel a bit undone, honest, and full of life. The images that would be a treasure to find dust covered in a shoe box years and years from now and would tell an honest story of who you were and how you loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

We hired GenerationNOW for our recent wedding and I can't express how amazing the entire experience was. The few conversations leading up to the wedding were professional and personal and they found out exactly what we wanted from our wedding. The booth and lighting was awesome and DJ Dudley D had the entire dancefloor rocking from beginning to end. He mixed in all of our favorite songs and the transitions were masterfully timed. Having a great DJ is such an important part of the big day and I can say with confidence this team is the best in the business. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who loves good music and dancing!

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.

We are now friends with both Matt and Anna of Royal Hart because we hired them! They are clear about expectations and services from the beginning, while also incorporating creativity and spontaneity in whatever you hire them for. For example, we hired them for our wedding, and we got pictures with CONFETTI!! We saw their extensive work with other couples we knew, and knew that we loved their style as well as how personable they are. Do yourself a favor and work with them!!
