Marissa Williams Bridal Hairstylist 

5.0

West Des Moines, IA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $380

I am a Bridal Hair Stylist based out of West Des Moines! Styling hair is my passion along with everything that comes with being a Bridal Hairstylist. The busy mornings, laughter among friends/family, traveling to different venues- I love it all!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marissa did an absolutely phenomenal job styling my hair for my wedding day! She work on seven of us—myself, my mom, four bridesmaids, and a personal attendant—and every single style turned out beautifully. She was incredibly efficient without sacrificing quality, and she handled a wide range of hair types and textures (short, long, curly, straight, thick, and thin) with ease. I decided to change my hairstyle just days before the wedding and sent her reference photos—she executed the new look flawlessly. My hair held up all night through photos, dancing, and everything in between. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist to be part of my day. Highly recommend Marissa to any bride looking for someone talented, flexible, and calm under pressure!

We had an amazing experience with our wedding DJ from Lonumn! Their communication throughout the planning process was quick, responsive, and polite - they made sure we were on the same page about the vibe we wanted for our reception. The day-of, they absolutely crushed it by reading the room and adapting the song choices and energy based on how our guests were responding. The music, emceeing, and photobooth they provided were high quality and kept everyone dancing all night long. We got so many compliments from our families about how fun, engaging, and talented they were. I would highly recommend Lonumn - they were integral to making our wedding a blast for us and our loved ones!

Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, and I’m passionate about being part of them through food and service. I love knowing that a well-executed meal can elevate the entire experience and create lasting memories for couples and their guests.

The Wedding DJ

West Des Moines, IA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Offer

I absolutely enjoy what I do, I've been providing solid high quality entertainment to couples all over the state of Iowa for almost 40 years! I started my DJ career in 1984 in Davenport Iowa, at that time I was using two turntables and had to haul big heavy crates of LPs with me. Now I use 2 specifically dedicated laptop computers that hold nearly 100,000 songs, wow isn't technology great!

I highly recommend Sean! He did a great job of working with our pastor, guests, other vendors and wedding coordinator. In addition to providing the music, he was in charge of keeping the night moving forward and our wedding on schedule. I truly appreciated his thoroughness and his professionalism. He was a big part of making our day the success that it was. One of my favorite compliments that we received from our guests was, "I've been to a lot of weddings in my day and yours had the best music selection, hands down."

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same!

In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

Choosing Jason as our wedding photographer was the single best decision we made regarding our wedding, full stop. If you are thinking about booking him, stop reading this and go!!! Jason and his amazing team were such joyful, calming presences throughout our wedding weekend. Not only were they total pros in handling every shot and every moment, but they were also incredibly fun to have around and they made the day even more fun! They knew exactly when to step in and guide us (help, where do I put my hands?!) and when to let us be in the moment. From the rehearsal through to the wedding, they made everything feel effortless, capturing genuine memories we'll cherish forever.

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly cannot say enough good things about Haverlee. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel effortless. Of course, her photos are stunning, but what stood out most was how naturally she captured everything. Nothing ever felt too posed or forced. Every photo feels genuine and true to who we are. I mean this is the absolute best way possible, but there were so many moments where we honestly forgot she was even there, especially during our bride and groom portraits. She never felt in-your-face, but successfully captured every detail and emotion so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, blends seamlessly into your day, and delivers breathtaking, authentic photos, Haverlee is truly the best.

The tablecloths and hightop tables I chose were brand new and easy to assemble. The website is clear and intuitive to use and they offered additional tablecloth sizes which Cory talked me through on the phone so I could be sure I had the right length to drape over my hightops and tie with ribbon. Prices are competitive with other local vendors, but Des Moines Party Rentals offers the best deal for weekend rentals by only charging one day for Friday pick-up with a Monday return. I'm so glad I found Des Moines Event Rentals to help make our special day a success!

I'm not good with wedding stuff, but our day was beyond anything I thought I could ever pull off, but that was because I had the best there is to pull it together. I just described and showed pictures of what I liked, and they took it from there. You have experts for so many facets of your life, having one for wedding is no different and worth every penny.

While the music was definitely on point (more on that later!), it was the extra touches they offered that truly elevated our reception and kept our guests engaged and laughing all night long. Mic Man (who was also our DJ) did a great job of making announcements and keeping the energy up without being intrusive. He even organized a fun "newlywed game" that had everyone laughing and cheering. It was a lighthearted and enjoyable way to involve our guests and add another layer of entertainment to the evening. While the music kept the dance floor going strong later in the night, it was the thoughtful inclusion of games and interactive elements that truly made our reception stand out. Mic Man Entertainment offered so much more than just a DJ; they provided a full entertainment experience that kept guests of all ages happy and engaged. If you're looking for wedding entertainment in the Ankeny area that goes beyond just music and creates a truly fun and interactive atmosphere for your guests, we highly recommend Mic Man Entertainment.

My photography journey began in 2016 in Western New York where I grew up. Over the years, I started capturing weddings and officially embraced the title of “wedding photographer” in 2018. Though I didn’t initially set out to be a photographer, what started as a hobby at 13 has blossomed into one of my greatest passions. I am currently based in Des Moines but I’m always open to traveling wherever you are. My passion extends to both photography and videography, and I would to be your go-to girl for capturing genuine moments that make you feel loved, and like your authentic self.

Both my husband and I HATE planning, so naturally, we had a lot of anxiety around the wedding and how / what to plan. Corah was by far the easiest decision we made!
