I am committed to crafting ceremonies that are as unique as the couples I work with. Every relationship is different, and I make it a priority to get to know you both

We are beyond grateful to have had Cara Winter as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us—our story, our values, and what mattered most to us for our ceremony. What she created was more than we ever imagined: a deeply meaningful, personal, and unforgettable experience. One of the most special parts of our ceremony was the Celtic handfasting. Cara not only explained the symbolism beautifully but thoughtfully wove in elements of our families' heritage, making it feel like a true reflection of who we are and where we come from. It was powerful, emotional, and something our guests are still talking about. Cara’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire process feel effortless. She brought so much heart and intention to every word she spoke, and helped us create a ceremony that was truly our own. If you are looking for an officiant who honors your love story and crafts something deeply unique, Cara is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful start to our marriage.

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

As a bridesmaid I was running around a lot and didn’t even notice half the stuff happening that day. But the photos and the video showed me EVERYTHING. The joy in every shot is just unreal. I laughed seeing myself making dumb faces in the background, and I cried watching the vows again. The editing of the video is sooo good, it feels smooth like a movie. They didn’t just focus on the couple either, they made sure to include the friends and family too which makes it even more special. The bride and groom look stunning but also so natural, like themselves. I’ve been sharing the photos nonstop because they’re too good not to. I’ll always be thankful they gave my best friend these memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Hands down, the BEST place to host a wedding in Minneapolis! The staff was amazing and soooooo accommodating - quick to return calls and emails and to answer any/all questions related to my son's wedding. 10 stars!! We hosted the groom's dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing all in one space and it was the best wedding set-up ever! Guests are still raving about the food and ambience! We had an amazing room block rate. Michael worked with the bride on pricing food, open bar, late night buffet, Topgolf, etc... which made the entire process stress-free. The parking ramp is connected directly to hotel via skyway, which was a huge boon for guests when they arrived for the wedding. We were able to bring in our own furniture, accessories, cake and rentals. We were also able to set things up as we wished with the help of Michael and his amazing team of energetic, hardworking and overly kind staff!! We had the pleasure of enjoying the outdoor patio space, which was absolutely perfect for the cigar bar. I highly recommend the Graduate to all brides & grooms!!!

Betsy did a phenomenal job on my makeup and my mom’s for my wedding day! She made us feel absolutely beautiful while keeping everything natural and radiant. The makeup photographed perfectly and lasted all day through the rain, happy tears, and hugs! Betsy was not only incredibly skilled but also such a kind, calming presence—exactly what you want on your wedding morning. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a makeup artist who truly brings out your best features and your confidence.

Our wedding at the Merriot Hotel was unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help us celebrate our special day. From the moment we first visited the hotel, we were impressed by its elegance and beautiful spaces. The staff was welcoming, and overall atmosphere was perfect for our wedding. A special shoutout goes to our event manager Becca! She was absolutely Phenomenal. From out initial planning meetings to the big day itself, Becca made everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail, organization, and communication were outstanding. She listened to our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Becca was a calming presence, coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran on schedule. She handled any hiccups with grace and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special moments with family and friends. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable!

Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. They had so many great options on their meal at a variety of price points.

The Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington was an incredible venue for our wedding block. From the moment we booked, their communication was prompt, clear, and quick - they were so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The venue itself was beautifully clean and had such an aesthetic look and feel. They went above and beyond for our special day, even providing complimentary champagne at check-in for our guests and an amazing shuttle service. While it was an expensive venue, it took so much stress away on the wedding day and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible location for hosting our wedding block and getting ready morning.

From the moment we began our journey with the Lumber Exchange, every staff member was flexible, friendly, helpful, and kind. Everyone we worked with truly wanted our day to be special. The food is incredible, and the chefs were so attentive to dietary needs—during our tasting they sat down with us, and the head chef even came out during the reception to make sure everything was perfect. The entire team puts their best foot forward. The value of the service, food, beverages, and overall experience is absolutely worth the cost, and compared to other venues, it’s not overpriced in my opinion. The Lumber Exchange offers several beautiful event spaces and is conveniently connected to a hotel, which made everything so easy for us and our guests. Our day was magical, and the Lumber Exchange team was truly wonderful. We look forward to hosting another event there someday and will always hold our wedding day close to our hearts!
