Eden Ehm - Violin & Hardingfele 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Aplington, IA

I am a professional violinist and fiddler available to perform within the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin tri-state area. (Note: my travel radius is within approximately a 60-minute drive of the tri-state.) A classically trained violinist for 30+ years, I play professionally in several area symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles and perform solo for special events. I have also played the Hardanger fiddle, Norway's national folk instrument, for 15+ years and am available to perform, demonstrate, and lecture about this unique instrument.

As a Hardanger fiddler, Eden is not only a masterful musician but an excellent educator as well, both introducing an instrument and musical repertoire that may be unfamiliar to the listener and providing tantalizing details for the aficionado. Her expertly presented programs are an invitation to a unique world of art, history, and culture extending from Norway to the Upper Midwest. Highly recommended.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Aplington, IA

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you really want to save money on florals, then go with Flower Moxie! Just a heads up, IT IS A LOT OF WORK, but they give you very clear email instructions of what to expect and there are MANY resources they provide through articles, videos, etc. I was mistaken in thinking that all I would have to do is arrange flowers in vases. You are actually cutting, cleaning and processing everything. We refused to spend money on flowers through a florist, but with Flower Moxie, we were able to incorporate some florals for a very reasonable price!

The Faux Bouquets was a fantastic florist to work with for our wedding. They had a straightforward, welcoming, and responsive communication style that made the entire process easy and stress-free. Their floral designs were elegant, affordable, and fully customizable to our preferences. They created a beautiful customized bouquet for my wife's bridal flowers and an elegant arch for our wedding ceremony. They even made last-minute adjustments to ensure we had the best possible designs. All of this was provided at an amazing price, and they even gave us a discount for being a local wedding. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their big day.

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

We specialize in documentary-style micro weddings and elopements, which means we focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Instead of staging or posing moments, we observe and photograph the real, unscripted emotions, connections, and intimate details that make your celebration unique. Our goal is to tell your love story authentically, preserving the genuine moments that reflect the true essence of your special day.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

Wedding and Event Videographer. Five years filming weddings as a hobby, can't believe it's turned into a career. I love capturing your memories on such an important day and turning that footage into a beautiful video to rewatch the day over and over again. To keep things simple, I offer everything in one simple affordable package. I'm there all day long and I wanna be there to capture every single moment. You'll have your videos in three weeks or less.

Awarded Best of Zola
Britt is a one man show and has all the equipment and full capability to do so. We weren't going to have a videographer due to budget and a few other reasons but decided last minute we didn't want to regret not doing it and Britt was up for the last-minute job! He was great at communicating throughout beginning stages, reliable, and took away some stress knowing he was fully capable for the job. There may or may not be many videographers out there. I guess I really don't know. But what I do know is Britt Nelson drove several hours, and across state lines, through torrential rain fall, hydroplaned on the highway to the point of completing 2 and a half full rotations in his vehicle, and still managed to make it to our wedding on time. He then flew his drone against all recommendations in aggressive winds to get us the perfect shots of our ceremony and reception venues. Now the drone took some minor damage in the crash, but the fantastic footage he got of our entire wedding day certainly did not. He managed to score all the great angles at all the perfect times and did so with such ninja skill that had we not received the footage we would have never known he was even there (no offense Britt). All we can say is regardless of whether or not there are tons of videographers out there, Britt Nelson is one of the best!

- Over 12 years of successful work, more than 400 couples, more than 200 families and more than 100 companies have used our services - We do all shooting and editing personally and never hire third-party vendors. You will get exactly what you ordered - It is very important for us that the video convey the atmosphere of your event as much as possible, therefore we approach the details and musical arrangement with great care - Each project for us is always an individual work. We do not shoot or edit according to a template. - We always have a spare set of equipment - All material we always keep in duplicate.

Thanks so much for our incredible weeding video! Yesterday we had a chance to watch it and I can say it was such heartwarming and professional video that reminded us how special that day was:) Thank you, Alex, again for your hard work and professionalism!
