With over five years of experience in the bartending industry. My deep understanding of cocktail crafting, coupled with a robust knowledge of spirits, wines, and beers, enables me to deliver a unique and personalized bar experience directly to your event. I pride myself on my ability to connect with guests, making them feel welcome and appreciated, and ensuring that each interaction is as memorable as the drinks served. I create a menu tailored to the theme and preferences of your event, efficient setup and cleanup, and flexible packages to suit different needs and budgets.

We had Candice bartend our 200 guest wedding, and she was nothing short of AMAZING! From the very first meeting, she helped us create two signature cocktails that perfectly reflected our personalities and the vibe of our day. One was a fun and fruity option for the summer heat, and the other was a smooth, whiskey-based drink for a classy touch. Throughout the night, our guests couldn’t stop raving about the drinks! Many said they were the best cocktails they’ve ever had at a wedding, and the presentation was stunning—Candice even added personalized garnishes that tied in with our wedding theme.

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.

We had the best experience working with Andrew! He worked his butt off on our wedding day — calm, composed, and totally open to the (very long!) list of shots I wanted. He remembered which locations mattered to us and made sure we got everything we envisioned. Leading up to the wedding, he was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We had multiple check-in calls, and he was always helpful, professional, and kind. On the day of, he directed us efficiently so we could get our photos done and get back to enjoying celebration with our friends and family without feeling rushed or stressed. He brought such a positive, calming energy and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He captured a perfect mix of posed and candid moments, and he even coordinated with our DJ, planner, and hair/makeup team to make sure everything flowed smoothly. We recently got our photos back and absolutely love them. It’s clear that Andrew’s work is a step above — the images are not only stunning, but they feel personal, artful, and full of life. He captured the emotion, the fun, and all the little in-between moments we’ll want to remember forever. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document our day — highly, highly recommend!

the suite seat 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves North Saint Paul, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristy at Suite Seat was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Her communication was quick, clear, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was amazing - she created a beautiful, sturdy updo that lasted all night long. On the day of the wedding, she made my hair look truly special and I received so many compliments. I would highly recommend Suite Seat to any couple looking for skilled and professional hair services for their big day.

A’bulae is wonderful! My husband and I do not live in town so we chose the Essentials Package with A’bulae so it would make the planning easier. It really did help everything go smoothly! First, the A’bulae venue is gorgeous and perfect for any weather condition (which helped me not to feel stressed!). The people working at A’bulae respond to emails promptly and professionally. They also help lay out a day-of schedule and handle a lot of the planning. They reach out and meet with the couple several times throughout the wedding planning process to put everyone at ease. Another plus is their in-house decorations, linens, chairs, and tables they set up for weddings. They have several options you can choose from. Further, while A’bulae does require you to use their in-house catering, the food is amazing. All the apps and entrees we chose were delicious. Above all, my favorite part about A’bulae is how they allow you to personalize your wedding as you see fit. My husband and I made our own monogram and cake topper, we made a slideshow to scroll during the social hour, my husband played piano, and we did an about-the-couple trivia game on the screens. It was really fun and made the event special and unique to us. A’bulae worked really hard to make this happen. Even when there was a slight technology issue, they called someone to figure out the solution remotely, and they had the problem solved very quickly. The team worked hard to make everything seamless. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I’m really glad we chose A’bulae.

  • Serves North Saint Paul, MN

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!

  • Serves North Saint Paul, MN

Hi I'm Kieran! I'm an inclusive luxury Photographer in St. Paul, MN but I love traveling all over the state! I specialize in Weddings, Couples and Boudoir Photography. I LOVE love! If theres a moment I can capture that involes a loving glance at your partner while you dance on your wedding day or a transformative moment while doing boudoir that makes you remember WHO you are- I want to be the one to capture that emotion <3

I spent so long planning our wedding day and even though it was freezing and rained, Black Gem captured every moment so perfectly that the rain felt magical and meant to be rather than a setback. Everyone felt comfortable and confident, and it showed in the photos. She left nothing to chance and came with posing ideas and great backdrop spots in a venue she’d never been to. I’ve even booked with her after because she’s that good and makes me feel like myself.

As wedding planners, The Lowlands is one of our favorite venues to work at. Their communication style is responsive and detailed, which makes planning a breeze. The venue itself is so naturally beautiful, with an upstairs space and a downstairs space that have two different vibes - it's a unique and flexible setting. The catering options are great, and the getting ready spaces are a huge plus. And the staff is next level - they really go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.

We held our wedding reception at North Garden Theater, and I could not imagine having it anywhere else. Ryan, Tina and Grace were incredibly helpful and attentive the entire evening! We really appreciated all of the personal touches they provided, (such as custom lighting, personalized cocktails, etc...) which made our special day truly unique. Our friends and family were constantly mentioning to us how impressed they were with the venue. We cannot recommend NGT enough!
