Stephanie Marie Beauty

Brooklyn Center, MN
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400

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 will always do my best to give you the style you are looking to achieve, but I will also let you know what will work best for your hair. I also specialize in hair extensions and sell bridal hair accessories. Look forward to meeting all you beautiful brides and hopefully being a part of your beautiful day! :)

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.

My husband and I got married here in June and loved everything about it! The venue itself is perfect for smaller-medium size weddings and very affordable compared to other places we looked it. Also, most of our guest were coming in from out of town, so it was important to us to have a fun area with lots of restaurants and accessibility without a car. This location couldn't have been better. Gabby was so helpful with answering any questions and assisting us through our wedding planning. She even helped navigate the rehearsal since our coordinator couldn't be there. Overall, we can't recommend Watson Block enough for its price, aesthetic, and service!

  • Serves Brooklyn Center, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

The moments she captured felt genuine, not staged. She was so attentive to us during our wedding day, anticipating our needs before we even knew what we needed! Adrian was able to tactfully guide a room of busy, jittery people and kept us all on schedule.

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!

She was incredibly flexible, taking the time to do a second makeup trial with me when I wasn't quite sure about the right look.

Eric Turner Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Brooklyn Center, MN

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

I’m someone who usually avoids being in photos and never let anyone, not even my partner, take pictures of me. But working with Eric completely changed that. Quinn and I were blown away by our photos. The entire experience felt effortless, like hanging out with a friend. Eric is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, which made the session so enjoyable. If you’re camera-shy or nervous about having your photo taken, I can’t recommend Eric enough. You won’t regret it.

I couldn't be happier with our choice of Nicollet Island Pavilion for our wedding reception! We were in such capable hands, thanks to Morgan, our day-of coordinator. She was incredibly detail-oriented and thoughtful, always making sure every little aspect of our vision was carried out perfectly. Huge shout-out to the Mintahoe event staff as well! The venue itself was absolutely stunning— loved the beautiful warehouse space that combined modern elegance with rustic charm. We received so many compliments from our guests about how gorgeous and unique the venue was.

Primped 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 30
  • Starts at $540
  • Serves Brooklyn Center, MN

We believe that beauty is as unique to a woman as her fingerprint, and we take great pride in helping each woman see her own personal beauty shine bright. Our customized attention to your hair, skin and makeup will ensure that on your special day, you will be uniquely, meticulously beYOUtiful. Primping included.

You cannot go wrong with Primped! I had Lindsay for makeup and Allie for hair - they were wonderful! They did my hair, 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and my mom’s hair. I cannot say enough about how great they both were! We were able to meet and do a trial before the wedding to discuss the look I wanted both in terms of makeup and hair, and they both ensured I was completely comfortable with the end results. All of the other women who had their hair and makeup done loved the end result. Allie and Lindsay were both excellent about ensuring everyone had as much or as little "extra" in their makeup or hair. For instance, my mother-in-law is not as comfortable with a lot of glamour, so Lindsay and Allie were great about ensuring her hair and makeup were more natural compared to some of the others. They are both also just such kind people who were a welcome addition to our morning of getting ready - everyone had rave reviews for them. Primped is a wonderful company with great people who work for them. My hair and makeup lasted all night and I loved the way I looked :) The cost is definitely worth it - you won't regret hiring them!

Sharon was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! She provided the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were able to meet with her for an hour well in advance of the wedding to plan and discuss music preferences and hear her play music we were interested in. She asked so many great questions about our wedding vision and was very accommodating to our requests. Her music was the perfect addition to our wedding day and our guests were very complimentary. We would hire Sharon again in a heartbeat for future events.
