Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Noe and his ability to read a crowd and deliver a great party. No matter what you’re looking for, Noe at Viva La Fiesta is your guy!! Leia and Taylor

There are so many reasons why I love weddings: I love all of the little details, the way you get to express who you are as a couple, and the excitement of capturing your special day! My job as a photographer is to witness your story. I realize your story is unique to you and your fiancé.

Awarded Best of Zola
Devyn was our photographer for our engagement photos in February 2022 and for our wedding in October 2022. We had the absolute best experience with her during both sessions. I was so overwhelmed when searching for a photographer, I didn’t know much about it and there are so many options out there. The first thing that caught our eye was her editing style. The coloring wasn't washed out or super saturated like other photographers editing I'd seen. Her editing was simple, yet captivating. We also noticed her creativity with the variety of poses and candid shots in her online portfolio. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, she so unbelievably kind and fun to work with! She makes you feel at ease behind the camera and that was so important to us! We would highly recommend Devyn to be your photographer for any special occasion!

Erica did an amazing job! We had an idea of what we both wanted for our photos and she took those broad ideas and location ideas and made it happen! Because of some weather concerns, she was able to be sure that the location we went to had a great second option if we needed it. Since we did engagement photos with her it made our wedding day seamless and fluid. The photos turned out a million times better then I could have ever imagined. She is a great person to work with and I will definitely be booking her for our future photo needs.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

I am so thrilled that I found McKinzee from Roxee Bridal to do my hair and makeup. My mother in law, mom and I all had our hair / makeup done by McKinzee, and she is a true pro. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I showed her photos of what I liked on Pinterest, and she was able to create the perfect bridal look for me! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She flew in for our big day despite having just lost two family members. When people entered my hotel room to find us chatting whilst I was in the "makeup chair", they asked us how we had met each other and how long we had been friends! :) That is the kind of warmth she exudes. I will forever be grateful to McKinzee for making me feel so special on my big day - I felt like a movie star. Don't hesitate- book with Roxee and ask for McKinzee!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re debating hiring a coordinator, just do it and make sure its Sydney. Where to start! Sydney was (and is) absolutely incredible. I cannot imagine what our day would have been without her. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Sydney to review the details of the day, what we were envisioning for the look and feel of our day, she helped develop our timeline (her timeline tool is AMAZING), and she brought up questions/thoughts on things that we hadn’t thought of or things that she suggests we do to help the day run better and the experience be more enjoyable for guests. The number of guest/family members, or even outside vendors at our wedding that took notice of all she did to make the day perfect, was mind boggling. Not only did she attend our rehearsal the day prior, she completely stepped up and helped our church with coordinating the rehearsal as well. This greatly improved the smoothness of the ceremony for not only the Bride and Groom, but for the church and the entire wedding party! Multiple vendors made it a point to compliment Sydney to me. With Sydney in charge there was no doubt in my mind that everything would go how it was supposed to, and that it did! We had the best wedding day we could have imagined. The reception space was setup perfectly, she took care of all the communication with the staff at our venue and outside vendors, and she did this all with a small on her face and in a calm manner. If she was stressed or worried about something, I never would’ve known. Everything was setup perfectly, she took special care for not only the bride and groom, but the entire wedding party and families. The day went just as we dreamed, all thanks to Sydney. Sydney is the absolute best. I would hire her over and over again. The BEST decision we made was to hire Sydney – I will forever be thankful for all that Sydney did for us leading up to our wedding and the day of.

The Jerome features original modern industrial design, including reclaimed timber beams, exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, restored hardwood floors, and original black tin tile. Dramatic light fixtures and white drapery room dividers compliment the natural light that shines through the large windows, creating a comfortable, open atmosphere for all to enjoy.

We had our wedding reception here back in December, and the support and service that we had with the people at the Jerome was amazing, we wouldn't have changed a thing. They were friendly and helpful with the people who were setting up our event and communicated with us well. The special tour around the place was nice because we got to know them when we made our reservation. And yes, we had our wedding on a Wednesday and the event was just as good as if it were on a Saturday night!

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dakota. From our initial meeting to receiving our final pics, we had the best experience. Dakota is extremely talented, kind, bubbly, energetic, a girl’s girl, and detail oriented. She helped us plan our day of schedule and followed it to a T. She worked quickly and efficiently but didn’t sacrifice quality. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone. Can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Hi, I’m Libby! I’m a laidback photographer who loves capturing real moments and genuine connections. Whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or elopement, I’m all about creating photos that feel like you. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, eating pizza, being cozy with my husband and pets, or planning my next adventure!

I had such a fun time working with Libby! We absolutely love our photos. She snagged great pictures during the anniversary dance of wedding guests and it's easily the highlight of the gallery seeing my friends and family having a great time!

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.

Nicole was such an amazing photographer to work with! She was so easygoing and brought a lot of brilliant ideas to our wedding that we never would've thought to do ourselves. We'd love to work with her again someday!
