So every year local magazine Minnesota Bride recognizes the top wedding vendors in lots of different categories. This year, after I placed my votes for my current favorite wedding vendors, I decided: why not share those favorites with you! Over the past 12 years, I have worked with so many different vendors and feel it’s really important to recognize the solid gold in this industry. Now, I have never been one to care much about these recognitions; as I find all the kind words and word-of-mouth recommendations to be the MOST important. I feel grateful to still be going strong in this business so many years in and do NOT take that for granted. Would it be cool to have that little badge on my website that says “Best of 2026” for future couples to see and maybe respond with “ooooooo!”? Yeah you betcha it would! So, if you feel inclined and have the time, you can vote for me under the appropriate categories. You can also vote for other vendors as well. Heck, that’s why I wrote out this lengthy list of vendors! Take it - share it - spread the love!
