Below is a list of vendors, details and additional information regarding our wedding. Should any brides in Minneapolis – St. Paul be looking for referrals, I hope this provides some guidance. I want to share as much as possible and thank everyone who is a part of our big day.

As more details are determined, this post will continue to be updated. Check back often!

Reception Site:
Hazeltine National Golf Club
Notes: Absolutely affordable, gorgeous brand-new ballroom and event spaces, very helpful sales manager – Linda. The only down-side is that it’s out in Chaska, and at least 20 miles from our ceremony site.

Ceremony Site:
Bethlehem Lutheran Church
Notes: Perfect mix of traditional and modern. The congregation is young and passionate, a perfect church for us.

The Dress:
Brides of France
Notes: A great shopping experience. The Edina location is run by a mother and daughter team, who absolutely love what they do. A great selection of La Sposa gowns and accessories. Overall, the perfect place to buy my wedding dress.

Bridesmaids’ Dresses:
Rush’s Bridal
Notes: Amazing selection of bridesmaids’ dresses. The staff is great, and knows their product well. In the end, the dress I chose was a winner because of the cut, color and (most importantly) the great price for my gals.

Photography:
Stephen Geffre
Notes: Following a recommendation from a contact on Twitter, I hired Stephen for a client event. After viewing his website, I fell in love with his wedding photos and style.

Music/Entertainment:
ACACIA djs
Notes: Recommendation from our photography studio. From what we’ve gathered speaking to Brian and checking out the website, these guys totally get that I’m not hiring someone to be the center of attention, but rather to compliment our evening and keep everything running smoothly.

Save the Dates:
Magnet Street
Notes: I wanted to design our Save the Date magnets, so was simply searching for a vendor to print them. However, the customer service at Magnet Street, including a very helpful Twitter account, made the process of uploading my image, reviewing a proof and placing the order easy.

Flowers:
Pazzobello
Notes: A recommendation from some friends over at Target, and a great one! Kristi and her team are creative and able to accommodate a bride with a bit of a vision, but little words to describe said vision. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Cupcakes:
Wuollet Bakery
Notes: We’re doing cupcakes for each guest and there was no doubt in my mind that we would order them from Wuollet. A local favorite, the cupcakes are huge, affordable and absolutely mouth-watering. My favorite is the Lady Baltimore, white cake and white icing. But, we’re getting a mix so our guests can choose their favorite.
