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

My husband and I are so grateful that we hired Alexandra Robyn Photography for our wedding! Allie was so kind and professional. She added so many personal touches to the experience, and she made me and my husband feel so comfortable throughout the day. Also the photos turned out incredible. Above and beyond our expectations.

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

I found Alter Ego Beauty after my previous hair and makeup person went out of business. I was blown away by how friendly Ash was and how she met you where you are with makeup. I don’t wear makeup at all but knew I wanted to have my makeup professionally done for my Wedding Day. I loved that she had a separate trial day so we could figure out before my wedding day on what look I wanted to go with. She was incredibly professional and made sure we were done on time. She showed up with everything she possibly would need to get your hair and makeup done. I wish I could get married again just to have her do my hair and again. I was married on July 13th.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s create the wedding of your dreams and make it a party that nobody will ever forget!

So, our day was falling apart horribly. Sept 7th, 2024. Way before the day started, some bridal party got sick, our coordinator got fired two days before our wedding, our venue didn't have much of what we ordered for decorations. Our last hope was the DJ service, but honestly, we didn't have high hopes. But then, the DJ arrived. He looked serious and got down to business. We told him how it's gonna be a mess and we understand if things didn't go right....it was just the way things were. We had each other right? NO. Our DJ refused to accept our self pitty. He was the calm, understanding, and reassuring part in this disaster of a storm. He said.....and I quote, "good thing I'm trained in coordination and I'm fully prepped. No worries, we got this". I, as the bride.....cried. we didn't have anyone that gave us this reassurance or confidence....till we met the DJ. He took charge, organized the most perfect ceremony, and then just did what it took to get everyone else organized from guests, to venue, to catering company. All we had to do, was have our wedding. We spoke with the guy the week of our wedding. He kept talking about "vision". Heck, I didn't even see what they saw. But the DJ, must have known somehow, because he got that vision and did everything we needed, and wanted. Dinner was beautiful, and things got done! I didn't think a DJ did all that. Then the dance. He announced everything, so all were informed and orchestrated everything and we let it all go and really had a lot of fun and enjoyed everything he played. I'm sure our DJ wanted to have more fun than all the work we out on him, and for that, I'm sorry......but you did one heck of a job!!!!! You turned what was a disaster, righted all the other vendors ships, and sailed yours too! You did the work of multiple companies with just 1 DJ. Unheard of! Most DJs I've seen at weddings just stay behind their music stuff and speakers and don't move. Our DJ broke a sweat. You know what, I hope other have a better wedding experience than we did, but I can tell you, this is a comoany that knows weddings, understands the needs of others, and is very well versed in what they do. And for all that, I'm grateful beyond belief and worth every penny and more. This is the ONLY 5 star review I've given for my wedding and they deserve 15. What a blessing!

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.

Choosing the Gardens of Castle Rock for our venue was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process; Kris and Heidi were very communicative and accommodating to requests and questions throughout the whole process; from our first tour to the wedding day itself. We had really been looking for a location that merged my style and my husband's and the variety of ceremony locations and natural picturesque locations was a major plus. we also wanted flexibility in who we brought in for the rest of our vendors - not only were we not restricted in our choice in caterer/florists/decor etc but the Gardens also provided a list of tried and tested vendors that knew the location. We felt fully supported during our vendor journey without feeling pressured to pick from a restricted list. We did end up using many vendors from the recommended list because they matched our style and our price point. While we did have a full-service planner to help us during our planning process I would still highly recommend the Gardens to anyone whos planning their wedding on their own. I was also the first wedding they hosted for 2023; during the 2022 winter storm the lathe house had decided it needed a break a took a tumble - the team alerted us right away as we wanted that for our ceremony and in no time they had the lathe house fixed and ready for us to use on our day. They also helped us navigate and plan for potential rain, which thankfully we didn't have to use, but it was such a comfort to know that rain or shine my wedding was going to go off without a hitch. I can't thank the Gardens of Castle Rock enough for ensuring my perfect day and I wholeheartedly recommend them! As a bonus, we had a few opportunities to speak with the owner, Glenn, and we'll be purchasing a wood slab my Husband will turn into a coffee table so we can commemorate the day - that way we'll always have a little piece of the Garden's with us.

Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. 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! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions.

Essen Events 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Elko, 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.

I had the pleasure of working with Hailey Barrett from Essen Events as both my wedding planner and my florist. I chose the partial planning package - it was the perfect fit for what I was looking for (I needed design guidance and industry expertise, but also wanted to have a part in the planning process). AND let me tell you .... I could NOT be happier with how our wedding went. From the moment my husband and I met Hailey, we felt at ease with Hailey's energy - she's such an expert and a professional, but she is also SO easy to chat with and just be around (even when I was a little stressed girlie). I explored a few options for a wedding planner, and what set Hailey apart for me was her genuine passion for the couples she works with. She has a sparkle and an excitement for what she does, and she helped make my CRAZY dreams come true (like the INSANELY GORGEOUS FLORAL INSTALLATION that we repurposed as a centerpiece for our dancefloor!!! LIKE WHAT?!). Before finding Essen Events, I was really worried about how I would make my pinterest board of dreams into a reality. Hailey took my ideas from pinterest and asked about some of our desires for the day and made a design plan that we could execute from all of my SCATTERED ideas. That's true talent!! It was so comforting to see how we could achieve the look I wanted. Hailey and her team are not JUST wedding planners and florists - they are ARTISTS, they are KIND, they are your HYPE GIRLS, they are the right choice for your wedding if you're looking to be surrounded by gorgeous vibes and wonderful people. Thank you, @Essen Events for the privilege of working with you on our FAVORITE day of all time.

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

As a wedding planner, finding vendors who are not only professional but fun to be around can be hard to find sometimes. That is definitely not the case with Jasmine of Jasmine Davey Photography! Jasmine was a joy to work with from day one! She was extremely responsive to any emails or questions I sent her way and was a joy to work with on the wedding day. You can tell Jasmine is passionate about what she does, purely by the way she conducts herself on wedding days. Her photos were absolutely breathtaking! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you definitely will not be disappointed if you hire Jasmine!

Ari Reynolds Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Elko, MN

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Ari has been amazing to work with. I think any photo gallery really shows off her talent. I'll point out that our event had both full-sun spaces and windowless interiors, and she captured the everything equally well. But what you can't so easily see from the galleries would be everything else that Ari does. She's one of those people that always runs at 110%. She helped us to create a timeline for the day and executed it, and she acted as an announcer when needed... really, she directed the show! Another couple we are friends with were so impressed with her work on the day-of, saying they would have wanted to hire her if they hadn't already gotten married a few months prior. Overall 10/10 recommend working with Ari!

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

We are a personalized Wedding DJ company based out of Becker Mn. We help you plan your wedding from day one. Our goal is to have you trust our DJ 100% BEFORE your wedding day. Then of course rock the party at your wedding.

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was exceptional - they were always checking in to see if we had any questions or needed help with anything music-related. 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.

I am a passionate, silly, and control-freaky wedding professional who has been working in the industry full-time since 2017. I am proud to offer fully-customizable and budget-based wedding planning & coordination services in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the surrounding Midwest, as well as destination and elopement-style weddings.

As a wedding vendor, I've seen it all over the years and often vendors seem to only care about themselves and their specific role in the wedding day. Mind of Mo Coordination is phenomenal and a true team player! Maurissa is great at balancing a couple's wants and needs, while still working with vendors to ensure that their day runs smoothly as well. It is clear that she loves what she does and it shows in everything she brings to the table. Highly recommend.
