  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Excelsior, 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.

Jessica Knighton Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

If you're looking for a stress-free day that you can truly enjoy and someone there to capture all the moments you were hoping for and more...can I just say HEYO!! More than anything, it is my pride and joy to guide you from our first meeting to your final gallery with ease and support. Our preparation will ensure that your day is centered around the two of you instead of literally anything else. As your wedding should be!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica was incredible during both our engagement shoot and the day of the wedding. She made a point to sit down with us and get to know us a little bit before having any sort of shoot, which made the day-of feel like meeting up with a friend instead of just a photographer. She was also willing to work with us on dates, since our original date got pushed back a bit due to COVID. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and was literally everywhere. SO many people remarked afterward about how great the photographer was! She did an awesome job of capturing candid shots and shots that didn't feel super staged. Jess also does an awesome job talking you through awkward shots--to get the ones that look candid, it is a lot of walking in a weird way or posing in a way that feels unnatural because Jess knows what that pose will look like on camera. The shots all turned out awesome, and for both the engagement shoot and the wedding day, she got us a sneak peek (which ended up being a ton of the photos!) within a week. Very happy with our time with Jess and with the finished product! I also love that she is conscientious about where to get photos printed so that it is a local company that is environmentally friendly, and that she provided both high res and web sized images so that we could easily upload to social media for all the people who couldn't be at the wedding. 15/10 would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a great photographer!

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!

We are also pet-friendly and welcome your furry friend to be a part of your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was, well, not exactly excited about the entire wedding planning process. It's just not really my thing. So when I found out that the Graduate Minneapolis (a hotel my family and I have stayed at many times over the years) did wedding packages, I was thrilled. I knew that I wanted to book a venue that would let us do both the ceremony and reception in the same space. What you get depends on which package you choose, but catering, flatware, linens, tables, chairs, alcohol, servers, bartenders, and honestly some things I'm forgetting about are all included and at a surprisingly reasonable price. And Michael, the catering and events director, could not be more lovely to work with. He far exceeded our expectations and made every step go smoothly. It's just an added perk that your guests can also stay at the venue.

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 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Excelsior, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Reyna and her husband, Casey, did an amazing job—we will never regret choosing Sea Circus Weddings to photograph our wedding day!! The choice of lighting and attention to detail was evident throughout our wedding album. Our family and friends were all very impressed with how beautiful everything turned out! :) I have personally known Reyna for many years — she is so talented and one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Thank you again, Reyna and Casey, for everything! We are so grateful to have such sweet photos from our big day to cherish forever :) Love, Caylee and Tanner

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.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Excelsior, MN

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
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

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 is absolutely amazing! She has such a depth and breadth of knowledge around not only flowers but the wedding industry! I wasn’t sure what I wanted, and Alex guided me through the process with ease! I could have not been more impressed with the flowers day of! She is just the best!

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 did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! During my trial we were able to talk about what I was looking for and she really took my thoughts and examples into consideration. She also had great suggestions on how to make my hair look more full which looked amazing. Sarah is very kind and anyone would be lucky to have her as their stylist.

Everything went smoothly, all the staff were friendly and wonderful and all of my guests commented to me and my husband about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, the food was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the venue was perfect!! Definitely consider using this venue if you're looking for an all-in-one perfect place where you can have your wedding, rehearsal, reception and have a place for your guests to sleep over and not drink and drive :) Perfection!!! I am beyond grateful for such a beautiful experience.

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...)

We hired Tyler to perform for our daughter's wedding. He was so wonderful to work with and was willing to make several adjustments last minute that would have been impossible with recorded music due to unfortunate weather the day of the wedding. Tyler walked us through music options for the ceremony helping us choose music that was more than just 'nice' but brought out our bride and groom's personalities. He was a calming spirit and his music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect! We loved him so much that we hired him to play at our son's wedding as well. We absolutely recommend Tyler Herwig for any event!!

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

Irina with Irina Partyka Photography is an absolute gem, both as a photographer and as a person. She exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photos, capturing moments and emotions that we’ll cherish forever. Her vision and attention to detail were beyond what we hoped for, and it's clear she is passionate about her work. Not only did she take our engagement photos, but we’ve also gained a lifelong photographer—and a true friend. She’s incredibly detail-oriented, guiding us with how to pose, angle our heads, and position our arms, making sure we always looked our best. Our entire bridal party loved working with her and appreciated her direction. If you're looking for a photographer with a modern, romantic, classy and elegant style, Irina is your go-to!

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.

A friend of mine recommended Catie’s services after doing a couples shoot and I am so grateful she did. From the beginning, Catie was easy to talk to, very straight forward, professional, and extremely kind. The minute we met at our engagement shoot we immediately hit it off. It felt as if we had known her for years. She is very passionate about her work and is always making sure to do whatever she can to make your experience seamless. She does an amazing job preparing for the big day and gives you the opportunity to connect to ask questions and share your thoughts so you are both on the same page. Not only is she a genuine person who cares about you as a couple, her work is flawless. We absolutely LOVED every single photo we received. There were so many friends and family who still continue to comment on our photos and rave about the amazing job that she did. Overall, if you are looking for a photographer who does amazing work but also cares about you as a couple, I would highly recommend Catie and her services to anyone looking for a photographer!

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!

If you want a packed dance floor from beginning to end, a club like experience and the BEST DJ's in town - then choose GenNOW for all your Wedding Day needs. From the first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Tim responds quickly and really takes care of his couples. When our original GenNOW DJ had a family emergency and could no longer DJ our wedding, Tim immediately found us a new GenNOW DJ - and this is when we were introduced to DJ Matt. I don't have enough words to tell you how incredible Matt is! He is the most energetic, most caring, most bubbly, down-to-earth DJ there ever was. He immediately took my husband and I under his wing and would do anything to make us happy. By the end of the night, he was more like family to us than a vendor. Nonetheless, our dance floor was more like a club then a wedding and every single guest, young or old, was dancing all night long. To this day, people still say how much fun they had! Book GenNOW, ask for Matt, and you won't regret it!!

After a decade of producing action sports content internationally, we decided to pursue cinematic wedding videography in Spring 2013. We have filmed over 200 weddings and have won many awards. We have filmed together for over 15 years. We can’t wait to capture your day & give you a beautiful wedding video that you can enjoy forever. We use 5 HD cameras with 2 videographers at all events in order to capture the intimate details & not miss a moment. We use drones to capture epic aerial footage at all weddings. Packages start at $2800. Based in Minneapolis, but love to travel.

Hard Copy Film Co. exceeded our expectations with our wedding video. They were very professional, provided great ideas as well as worked with the situation so it felt candid and causal, and were well prepared. They showed up on time and knew exactly where to go. I was very pleased on the day of the wedding so I wasn’t trying to get ahold of several different vendors to figure out where they were. They blended in with the day quite nicely. It wasn’t like they were right in your face or view. I would highly recommend using them for your videography needs. Saying that we love our videos is quite an understatement. They captured the love between myself and my husband from our wedding day perfectly and now we get to cherish the video forever. If you’re on the fence I would highly encourage you to splurge on your videographer - it’s something that lasts forever.
