Glamour Beauty was a wonderful beauty professional to work with for my wedding day. Katie was extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the planning process, always getting back to me right away whenever I had a question or concern. On the big day itself, she worked very efficiently to deliver beautiful makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and all the mothers. She did an amazing job listening to exactly what I envisioned and bringing it to life. My makeup was flawless and stayed put all night long even after the rain happy tears during the ceremony and hours of dancing at the reception. I felt glamorous and confident thanks to Katie’s work. The whole bridal party looked stunning. I would highly recommend Glamour Beauty for any bride looking for a talented, reliable beauty team for her wedding!

Choosing our wedding photographer was a big decision, and we couldn’t have been happier with Rachel Parsell from Bellagala. She captured every moment with creativity and understanding. From our first meeting, Rachel took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. She listened to our ideas and added her own touch, making the whole experience fun and relaxing. On the wedding day itself, Rachel blended into the background, capturing the laughter, tears, and joy. When we received our photos, we were blown away. Each picture tells a story, from the little details to the big emotions. Rachel captured the essence of our day perfectly. We can’t thank Rachel enough for her talent and dedication.

the suite seat

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves White Bear Lake, MN

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Kristy was the best!! She had a great setup to do my trial in downtown St Paul. She is so easy to connect with. She does a great job collaborating with you on what the final hairstyle should look like. She also helped me coordinate the final timeline with my makeup artist which was a huge help. On the day of the wedding, Kristy was prompt, professional, yet super fun and made the morning relaxing, yet productive! She kept us all on track with our timeline and made sure we went to the wedding all looking fabulous!! I’d highly recommend Kristy to any bride!

Hey there, my name is Grant Fitzgerald. I am an wedding videographer, photographer, actor and husband living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have always had a ridiculous obsession with love. This fixation on love culminated in my sophomore year in high school when I met the love of my life. We married nine years later.

Grant did such an amazing job with the video he made of our wedding day! He was very professional, and coordinated seamlessly with our photographer. He was a joy to work with and the video that he produced brings a tear to everyone's eye who watches it. The quality of the sound and video were excellent. The editing was very skillful and he made sure to include any details that were important to us. We are so grateful to have those memories so beautifully captured. We absolutely recommend him! If we could do it again, we would choose Fitzgerald Films every time!

Do you have any time for a phone call tomorrow? Let me know, congrats again and we’ll talk soon! Kyle - 651-325-8435 [email protected]

Awarded Best of Zola
We had The Riverside Hitmen at our August, 22nd 2019 wedding. They were unbelievable. This was my big splurge, and it was money well spent. Considering we had a piano and cello at the ceremony, a jazz trio during cocktail hour, and a full band with horn section play for four hours at the reception, I feel the price was very reasonable. Kyle was super accommodating. My bride is from Nigeria, and the morning of the big day, she sent Kyle a bunch of African music for the DJ to play during the band's breaks. Even with that late notice, without hesitation, Kyle found all the songs online and had them ready. Having the African music was a nice touch that was very much appreciated by my bride's family. All night long our guests asked, "Where did you find this band? They are amazing!" I booked the band without ever seeing them in person, and I am extremely happy I did. The Riverside Hitmen are incredible. If you are considering booking a band, you cannot go wrong with The Riverside Hitmen. Kyle and the rest of The Riverside Hitmen, thanks for everything. Its almost two months since our wedding, and I still light up when I think how fun our wedding was in large part because of the fantastic live music you provided. Thanks again, Precious and Andy

Awarded Best of Zola
Kastina coordinated our June 9 wedding at Silverwood Park. We booked her for Day of Services and I'd book her and the team again with out hesitating. Kastina was easy to talk with, quickly understood my level of interest and brings deep knowledge to the process. She figured out our timeline, consulted with me before we finalized invitations and the website and then took care of all the details. Kastina made our day-of signage and seating charts at a very affordable price too and they looked fantastic. At two weeks before the wedding Kastina began managing all vendor communication. Many of the vendors commented to me that Kastina's timeline was the most useful they'd seen. Both us and our family thought the document was great too. Because of Kastina's work we did not have to manage any details day off including giving out tips, setting up signage or any part of take down. Even if the venue has a day of coordinator, hiring Kastina removed so much of the advance thinking and all the logistic execution and communication for me and my family. Without Kastina's expertise, skills and work I would not have enjoyed the wedding. My advice to any couple marrying is to spend the money on hiring Kastina as your coordinator so you and your guests have a well executed, thoughtful day and you are able to be present.

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines.

We absolutely loved working with and having Rock It Man Entertainment at our wedding. Although there was a minor hiccup the week of our wedding in a performer change/miscommunication, the team at Rock It Man stepped up and rearranged schedules to quickly accommodate our desire for a specific entertainer. And let me tell you… having Jon perform at our wedding was one of the highlights of our whole day! From live music at the ceremony, to hours of live music during the reception – Jon kept everyone entertained. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and what a great idea it was to have live music. The price of Rock It Man versus a DJ company is very different, but we truly felt that the show, the energy, the vocals, everything we received from Rock It Man was worth every single penny.

There is something miraculous and poetic in the way flowers grow out of the dirt and bring such variety and delight. ​​​​​​​​ This is why we incorporate flowers into the most pivotal moments in our lives. Flowers are symbols of all the potential in these moments; they speak to all the possibility of our lives while reminding us that, though beautiful, life is fragile. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​Participating in this language of flowers is what I love to do with Bedecked. Capturing and framing life’s significant moments with all the beauty and mystery of flowers!

I would give 15/10 stars if I could. Becca was the best. She was so kind, easy to work with, wonderful and her work was the most beautiful wedding flowers I have ever seen (yes, it was my wedding so while I might be biased I also have been to a LOT of weddings and I stand by the best wedding flowers I have ever seen). We didn't give her much direction other than "we like fall and its a fall wedding" and she took that and made it the fall wedding of our dreams. We received so many compliments on our flowers all night (even from strangers while we were taking pictures). And now that we have some of our pictures back people are STILL commenting on how good they look in pictures. She was timely, always responded to my many emails and took both my husbands and my ideas and made them one cohesive idea.

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Jake with Two Oaks Photography is the best photographer ever!!! We had the best experience working with Jake as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. He made us feel so comfortable the entire time and gave us some guidance when we needed it. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined and we are so thankful he captured all the right moments for us. Jake fit right in with our wedding party and went above and beyond on everything he did. Our photos turned out so beautifully and we are so thankful we will have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. We would 10/10 recommend Jake for engagement and or wedding photos, he will not disappoint with his amazing skills!

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey was awesome! He has a very calm and professional presence and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Photos that we will have in the frame for years.

Working with Terry was amazing! We had him perform at our post-wedding Saturday event. His sound and vibe was perfect for the backyard/lake setting. I had a few friends perform a few songs and he was more than willing and incredibly excited to lend his equipment and time. Everyone kept complimenting how perfect the music was for the setting. Terry is super easy to work with, quick to respond, and open to any and all requests/suggestions. Highly recommend Terry for your next event!

On weekdays you can find me either at home or outside with my five year old daughter. In the evenings I am either home with my family cooking dinner together, playing games or reading. Weekends I stay busy between capturing weddings and spending time with friends and family. I shoot 35mm and 120 film as a hobby. A few other things I love: my daughter, cold coffee, plants (I have many), printed 35mm images, chocolate chip cookies, Scandinavia, rollercoasters, music, and traveling.

We couldn’t be happier with selecting NYLONSADDLE PHOTOGRAPHY for our wedding photos! Nicole did an excellent job wrangling our large family & wedding party as well as capturing all the details and the vibe that was so very us. As the bride, I missed a lot of the little details of the day and I’m so thrilled to have those captured as well as the big moments so beautifully documented. In addition to digital photos, we chose to add on a roll of film to our photos and the results were just stellar. It was perfect and we are over the moon with the results! On top of all that, Nicole was just so much fun to get to know. We would love to work with her again in the future!

I recently had my wedding at North Garden Theater and could not have been happier. This was such a gem to find. Ryan and Tina were amazing to work with, so responsive and helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure your event goes perfectly. Tables, chairs and linens came with the rental, which most places do not do. We got to customize the lighting, the dance party lighting (which is extensive with fog machine!), and the entire layout. They have a bar onsite and the cocktails were great! They were able to serve our guests very quickly. We used multiple Spotify playlists for our music and Ryan was on point switching between them at the right times. The facilities were amazing too; large dressing room to get ready, and nice big bathrooms that they continually cleaned throughout the night. They are also big on reducing waste so we were able to use all compostable cups, which we also had our caterer use all compostable plates and silverware. I really do not have enough great things to say about Ryan, Tina and NGT; they made such a magical day for us!!!

Hey there, I'm Bethany. I love meeting people, celebrating people, and making people feel awesome. My photography is all about authenticity and a sense of adventure! I'm a love-obsessed individual whose passion and joy come from telling visual stories. I use a natural approach to photograph every smile, tear, and embrace shared on your special day. I believe that by being unobtrusive I can capture moments that aren’t staged, and are full of life.

Bethany was the photographer for a wedding I planned. She was already hired by the couple when I came on board and I hadn't worked with her so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really appreciated her communication ahead of the day by letting me know what she needed in order to get the shots she needed but was also able to work within the timeline we needed. She was able to hit up three different locations on the day for photos with a ton of ground to cover and she got it all covered! The pictures were definitely amazing and overall she was just to work with.
