From the very beginning, they were right on top of it with their communication, always quick to respond to our questions and provide helpful information. Their team of fun, hard-working bartenders saved us so much on the open bar (loved being able to choose local beers we LOVE), and they even helped out some of our other vendors throughout the night!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? For 20 months, we worked with Hanna. She is hands down the best coordinator, planner, and content creator, and we are so happy we chose to work with her. We initially booked her for day-of coordination and content. From our very first meeting, I could tell how incredibly knowledgeable she was and that I could trust her. As we started planning, we quickly realized how helpful she was, so we upgraded to partial planning, which was one of the best decisions we made! She became such an invaluable resource throughout planning. No matter how many questions I had, she was always quick to respond, even outside of her normal hours. We had monthly meetings to make sure we were on track. She helped us with design decisions, recommended where to order things, and even shared discount codes. She also took certain tasks, such as designing our menus, completely off our hands. Hanna helped us book our last few vendors and took the lead on communicating with them. We also hired her for content for our rehearsal dinner. Although she was not in charge of planning it, she still offered to bring the welcome sign stand as well as tapered candles for more decoration. She also took pictures of us and our guests, which was really nice not having to worry about doing it ourselves, so we could be fully present. On our wedding day she brought the box stand for our signage, which was one less thing we had to worry about. Since she was doing content for our day, Kaylee and Melissa took over the coordination, and they did such a great job making sure everything was on track! Moments before walking down the aisle, I realized I forgot to reapply my lip gloss, and Melissa ran to get it for me in time. I was so grateful! The content she captured from our rehearsal dinner and wedding day was amazing! She got photos and videos back to us within 24 hours, which was so sweet to be able to relive those moments so soon after. Hanna genuinely went so above and beyond, and we are forever indebted to her. You will absolutely not regret working with her!

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. 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. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!

I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business.

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!!

She had a perfect balance of opinions and encouragement. I was in joyful tears when I saw our reception room decor—the candles and lighting were just perfect and better than I’d imagined. We did a sneak peek and I think my face says it all. She made our wedding decor dreams come true—everything was classy, fun, and modern. We’d initially considered the diy route for decor but I’m so incredibly happy we went with Revel and Flourish. The time and care they put into our day was incredible. Their decor looked amazing and I loved getting a quick wave from Kristina as she finished setting everything up. And the team that did the tear down arrived cheerful and organized at the end of the night. Hiring them should be one of the quickest and easiest decisions you make! Well worth it!

Hannah first photographed our family when we were just starting out and wanted to have a cute baby announcement. She has now been photographing our family for 9 years, and she really is amazing. She manages to catch candid moments that show love and our natural personalities which are my favorite kind of photos. She never over edits, and I am always confident that the images will be ones that truly reflect our family dynamic. More importantly though, Hannah is an empath who understands neurodivergent brains. She is so patient with my boys who both struggle at times. She doesn’t judge, she can help prevent a meltdown, and knows when we might need a break or change. She cares deeply and that is always reflected in her work.

I was so on the fence deciding if I wanted a makeup and hairstylist, I am someone who is confident with doing my makeup but hair is always hit or miss. I decided I wanted to just forgo the stress of getting myself ready so I messaged Primped because I thought their prices and stipulations on their site were fair. They assigned me to Kimmy as my artist and I cannot give her enough praise. She is so down to earth and honest and also very good at explaining everything and she did a phenomenal job. I had my makeup and hair trial and wore it to work and got so many compliments. The day of my wedding I unfortunately broke out with some small spots of acne because hormones but she did such a great job that it wasn't even noticeable. I had so many compliments and I felt so beautiful during my big day. Also, the communication with Justine was flawless. She handled everything from the coordinating standpoint and there were no hiccups with planning. I would 100% recommend Primped!! Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting errors, hopefully I can add them later.

Veteran-owned and Black-owned. Serving the Twin Cities metro.

Just Wilson Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ and band. From the moment we first spoke with Justin, his communication style was easy-going, intuitive, and fun. The quality of his work and value was outstanding - the lighting was great, his attitude was amazing, and he kept the night flowing smoothly and hyped up the crowd. We had an amazing time dancing the night away, as he truly kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better team to be a part of our special day.

Hello I am Hillary Rennie, Stacyhill's founder, and I have over 20 years of experience in floral design, event planning, and wedding decorating. I have a passion for planning and an eye for detail. Floristry and serving others runs in my family. My grandmother owned a flower shop, and my mother was also a florist. I have been designing flowers and helping plan weddings since I was a child. Let me use my expertise and passion to help bring your vision to life!

Stacyhill Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. From our first interaction, their communication was prompt, clear, and showed a genuine understanding of our vision. The quality of their work was truly flawless - the bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements were precise, detailed, and exactly what I had envisioned. They gave me exactly what I wanted, down to the last petal. Stacyhill's professionalism shone through every step of the way, and we were thrilled with the final result. I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
