Best Event Planning Specialists Minneapolis Near Me

Andrew Myers: The attention to detail that Ashley and her team put into our wedding day months and months and months before the actual day is nothing short of remarkable. What we admired most is that she certainly does not just tell you what you want to hear - she gives you the truth. But she doesn't just say no and move on - she is always bringing alternatives to ideas that can bring you as close to your absolute dream as possible. And that is because Ashley has already thought of every possible outcome of every possible scenario before she's even brought it to you. She helped us pick the perfect venue. She negotiated on our behalf countless times. She told us to do our ceremony outside even when the weather was suspect and we were a little nervous. And she was there for every single guest throughout the night if they needed her. Even weeks after the wedding, we had guests texting us and saying how incredible Ashley was throughout the day and how impressed they were with her call to do the ceremony outside - we are forever in debt to her for that. Ashley did what all planners should aspire to do - bring the vision to life and make the wedding appear as flawless as can be to the bride and the groom. Without Ashley's persistence, work-ethic and patience - I don't even want to think about how stressful the entire process could have been. We already miss her and would recommend her to any and all.

Sophie Myers: and she handled it ALL with such grace, so much so that I wasn't even aware that most of these things happened until after the wedding. She is also a gem of a human and we had some good laughs through the stress of the process and I will truly miss chatting every day! I would recommend Ashley to anyone whose budget allows. And can't wait to attend another friends wedding she's planning!

Taylor White: . I can’t imagine trying to plan our wedding on our own. So beyond thankful for Ashley for allowing us to enjoy being engaged and not have to stress anything, and also for making the planning process so fun!Not only was she extremely organized, but she is so creative and made the day so beautiful. She gave such great advice / ideas / vendor recommendations, and I’m so glad we listened to her advice because she made our wedding SO much more unique and personal than it would have been if we hadn’t.I also appreciated how Ashley is firm and persuasive and can easily negotiate with, manage, and advocate for us with vendors. She always had our best interests at heart and did everything she could to get the best for us from our vendors.Overall so thankful for Ashley and for everything she did for us!!

Kristina Monsen: We would recommend Ashley with Poppati Events to any and everyone! She is the best wedding planner that we could have asked for - she created the most beautiful and best wedding for US. She truly listened, had our best interest at the top of her mind, and executed perfectly. She made sure everything was taken care of down to every last detail, and our wedding planning and wedding day was a breeze because of her work.We had our wedding on a beach in Mexico - she started off with an extensive venue search and we felt like we landed on the best option. She made planning an international wedding feel stress-free.On top of her business - she is just a wonderful person ! So genuine and truly shines in any room.

Georgia Keller: Ashley was nothing short of AMAZING to work with. Due to COVID, we delayed our wedding a few times and Ashley was so flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the process. We ended up completely changing our original plans and doing a small destination wedding in Vail, CO. Ashley created the most beautiful and memorable weekend for us in 3 MONTHS! She truly is so talented and creative and everyone attending the wedding was blown away by the details and heart poured into the day. She took the time to get to know my husband and me and incorporated special touches throughout the ceremony and reception. She was always available to text, call or email throughout the planning process and made it effortless for us. I strongly recommend hiring a wedding planner so you can enjoy your special day to the fullest extent. You will NOT be disappointed working with Ashley and her team - they are one of a kind! Thank you so much for creating us the most magical wedding weekend!

Lindsey Schwartz: , and Ashley found us the most perfect venue! I am not the planning or organizing type, and I was completely overwhelmed with everything that needed to be completed, so Ashley and Poppati took care of everything! The only thing I had booked at that time was a photographer, and they not only found all of our vendors, communicated with them, negotiated discounts, but they kept us in the loop as much or as little as we wanted. Aside from taking care of all the logistics, Ashley is so TALENTED and made our wedding the most unique day! It fit our personalities perfectly, and I have never had so many comments about how beautiful, fun, and unique our day was! Ashley and Poppati were literal life savers for our wedding day, and aside from that she is the sweetest person to work with. I felt like I was talking with a good friend the entire time, and absolutely loved getting to know her, her husband, and their adorable little pup Finley. If you are looking for a planner, look no further! Ashely and her team are by far the best, and I can't wait to use Poppati Events again the future!

Samantha Joy Hart: I cant praise Poppati events enough. Honestly they are a five start team. Being a 2020 Bride was one of the most challenging experiences. We had to change our date 2x and with all of the rules and restrictions Ashley and her team had to basically start from scratch several times. My wedding wouldn't have happened with out all of her help and expertise. She stayed up to date on all the rules and kept us informed and still pulled off the wedding of my dreams. My caterer dropped a month out from our wedding and Ashley was able to secure a new one at an even better rate for us with no issue. The day of our wedding it was so windy and there were challenges with the set up but I never knew because her team handled it and my day was amazing. If you are looking for a wedding or party planner Poppati is the best. Highly recommend!

john kirkwood: I have had the great pleasure of working with Ashley in a professional capacity over the past five years, planning and conducting countless corporate events from Annual Meetings to larger events related to the Super Bowl, Final Four and “South by Southwest” in Austin, TX. Ashely is a consummate professional with a caring and compassionate manner that makes everyone she works with and helping feel like the only one she is working with and helping.... She is highly organized, deeply detail oriented and handles change effortlessly. I would work with Ashley in any situation, no matter how big or small, knowing that her attention to detail is going to be the same regardless. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other important events in your life.

Kevin P. Smith: Ashley from Poppati is an absolute gem and a true catalyst to bring any event to the next level. As my go-to corporate event partner for several years, she has helped me plan and execute several customer events locally in Minneapolis, as well destination events in Nashville, Denver and Scottsdale. Ashley’s talents and creativity are most definitely the reason my events have transformed from basic user conferences into best-in-class customer learning experiences. With my events averaging at least 100+ people traveling from all parts of the United States and Canada, Ashley helps me find the perfect balance of selecting locations that are easy and cost effective to travel to, as well as provide a unique and memorable experience for my customers. With a robust destination planning portfolio, Ashley always comes to the table with a selection of best preferred hotels, catering options and excursion ideas that fit my event requirements, yet her creativity and thoughtfulness always far exceed my own event expectations. When it comes to the event itself, Ashley’s attention to detail leads to a flawless execution of hotel coordination, conference room set-up, agenda and all other onsite details that a host has little to no time to think about. Her careful consideration to the smallest of details – such as a hand-selected meal menu and snacks, table décor, attendee ice breaker activities – ensure my customers feel welcome, comfortable and set-up for a successful day of learning and networking. One of my favorite things about Ashley is her creativity in planning unique excursions that foster networking opportunities – a critical objective for my events. A few highlights from my events included “A Taste of Denver” – which included a tasting of some of Denver’s best restaurants, sampling beer and wine at a local brewery and live music from a local musician; “Desert Nights” with a breath-taking landscape of lounge furniture, campfires, a multi-course meal, cocktails and music in the middle of the desert; and a true Nashville music and food experience hosted at a historically relevant building for the industry my customers work in. Ashley’s commitment to my events and my customers is not just noticed by me and my team – her heart and spirit for the event are absolutely noticed by the attendees themselves. With numerous customers approaching me with comments like “Who is she and where did you find her? She is amazing!” – I know that Ashley has become a key player on my team. Ashley from Poppati delivers a truly exquisite and unforgettable event.

Janan J: As a local Twin Cities Pastry Chef, I worked with Poppati Events to create a unique cake design for a client. Ashley was a pleasure with which to work! She offered clear, detailed communication; was attentive to both the client and vendor's needs; she is creative and collaborative throughout the process....all of which produces a perfectly executed and spectacular event!!! I look forward to future events with Poppati Events Inc.!

Sarah Tribett: I could go on all day about how amazing Poppati Events is! Ashley is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and is hands down my favorite planner I have ever worked with! She’s the perfect combination of professionalism mixed with someone who you would want to be your best friend! We’ve worked together for multiple weddings/events and something that I’ve always noticed and admired about her is her attention to detail. She puts her heart and soul into the events she plans for her clients and is able to create designs that represent each couples unique style and relationship perfectly. She is so thoughtful to everyone around her and always makes sure that everything is running smoothly and that everyone is taken care of. If you are thinking about hiring Ashley for your event, I can promise you that your expectations will be exceeded and it will be the best decision you ever make! I met her through the wedding industry but now consider her a lifelong friend!

Shadi Taher: We can't recommend Ashley at Poppati Events enough! Initially, we thought we could get away with working exclusively with the wedding coordinator at the venue, but after a few meetings, it became clear that that was a bad idea. The universe introduced us to Ashley, and she took over ever single detail seamlessly. The further we got into the process, and especially in those last few weeks, the more grateful I was for her expertise. We had a general outline of what we wanted, and Ashley took that and turned it into the absolute wedding of our dreams. Our guests still talk about how beautiful it was and so perfectly executed - and it is really ALL to Ashley's credit. To top it all off she is a kind and caring soul - checking in to make sure WE were doing okay throughout the entire process. 5 star person, 5 star planner! Thank you, Ashley!!

Alyssa Jensen: After following Poppati Events on social media I knew I wanted to hire Ashley right away when we got engaged. We hired Ashley for the full package and it was money well spent! Ashley helped us have the mountain top wedding of our dreams  Ashley is the type of wedding planner that will put her whole heart into the wedding planning. She got to know our personalities and she knew what was very important to us and went above and beyond in those areas. Ashley wants to take the stress away from couples as much as possible and if and when wedding vendors can get tough to work with, she will do everything she has to negotiate what is right for her couples. Ashley was available 24/7 to talk through decisions, ideas, anything and everything you could think of. What I loved about our wedding the most was how personalized it was to us as a couple. All of the wedding guests commented on the personal touches and Ashley helped make that happen. She will ensure that your wedding is unique to you as a couple and she will use her expert experience to suggest the best solutions to you as a couple. I am so glad that I hired Ashley as our wedding planner as it was so helpful to have a neutral party give you expert advice while also letting you as a couple feel empowered to make your wedding exactly how you envision it. Ashley will make sure you do not have to do a thing on your wedding day and we completely got to enjoy the day. Her husband is also an angel and they make an incredible duo when they work together on the wedding day.We are so grateful for all of the hard work Ashley put into our wedding. THANK YOU!!

Stefanie Rebers: completely forgot our table numbers at the hotel

Kathleen Coyle: . Ashley & Adam proactively stayed in touch with us as the trip grew closer. When the trip arrived, we felt like Jay and Bey just showing up to the airport with everything already planned and taken care of  Their attention to detail was apparent throughout the trip which ultimately allowed my husband and me to enjoy each other without worrying about any details. As we sit here writing this review

Heidi Sohn: At the Hewing Hotel, we had the pleasure of one of our wedding couples selecting Ashley to be their wedding coordinator. Ashley was extremely professional, organized, and helpful in ensuring all of the details for the wedding ceremony and reception were everything the couple had hoped for. She was amazingly responsive and detail oriented when we needed help in how to best execute the event to her/our client's expectations. The day was perfect and Ashley was a dream to work with.

Hannah Lawson: Christina & Adam of Dos Goats Plans were the first vendor we booked and it was the best choice we made! Not only did they save us sooooo much time, effort, and money, they are just awesome people. They have such a fun energy and laid back demeanor that kept us calm from our 1st meeting to the end of our wedding night! They provide all the organization and hard work a wedding requires while making it look effortless. Our planning meetings with them were our favorite parts of the planning process. They provide peace of mind and quickly take care of any worries. Their planning tools were so helpful and super easy to use! Having all our planning details, budget, timeline, decor list and more all in one place was a lifesaver. They had amazing vendor recommendations that played a big part in our day turning out even better than we envisioned! Every vendor we booked was excited we chose Dos Goats. Their reputation in the industry created a great vendor team energy to execute our day. On the wedding day they went above and beyond and used extra flowers to make our dessert table way more BEAUTIFUL than we planned! They knew our vision and executed it even more perfectly than we dreamt of. We had a big wedding with lots of moving parts. They organized our timeline and ensured all of our vendors were informed and on the same page. Their expertise had our day running right on schedule and kept us having fun all night. If there were any hiccups to be solved they handled them quickly because we didn’t hear of any! From taking care of setup, to tear down, and everything in between they made it possible for us to be completely in the moment and just enjoy our day. It’s now months after our wedding and we still have friends and family telling us how amazing our day was. Many have reached out to say they want to be friends with our planners because they truly are just THE BEST! We are forever grateful to Christina and Adam.

Allie Morgan: , and kept everything running smoothly! If anything went wrong, I'd never know. They handled everything, letting us be present in the moment and enjoy the day. Not only were they so fabulous on the day of, but they are also kind, reassuring, and fun people, who I'm so glad to have worked with. 10/10!!! WE LOVE YOU!

Emma Foyt: Adam and Christina were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. From our very first meeting, they were the vibe we were looking for - honesty, transparency, and absolutely hilarious. They provided us with all the tools we needed to plan a wedding - Google docs, vendor recommendations, and even decor like centerpieces, easels, etc.! Once our timeline was finished, they communicated it out to all of our vendors for us. On our big day, they set everything but and even packed everything back up and put it in our cars. They made everything so stress free and if something went wrong, we didn't even know about it. We could not be more grateful for everything they did for us.If you don't choose Dos Goats to help with your wedding, you're doing it wrong.

Tram Hoang: throughout the day - and they exceeded expectations. The bridal party was a little slow with hair and makeup, and they made tweaks to our schedule to ensure we still had plenty of time for all of our photos. Ceremony started right on time, and the rest of the evening went incredibly smoothly

Yoonhee Park: Christina and Adam deserve more than 5 stars! We got their partial planning service, and it was a BLAST! Our day was perfect, and everything went smoothly. Christina and Adam helped us find the perfect vendors from early on; they are well-known in the wedding industry, which was super helpful when working with the other vendors. Whenever I had anxiety about the wedding, they were more helpful than the therapist. Thank you so much for everything.

Juli Heusinkveld: from them - makes a huge difference budget and ease wise!

Allison Batzli: ?

Caitlin Khwaja: Truly the best duo and so fun to work with! Cannot recommend them enough for a seamless day and planning process! They are laid back and will give great advice along the way + make your day as fun and stress free as possible!

Zoe Hansen: We so enjoyed working with Dos Goats Plans! We decided on their Day-Of Coordination services, but Adam and Christina were engaged and willing to help us from the moment we met with them months before. They both kept us at ease throughout a bulk of our planning and met with us multiple times to discuss decor, timeline, and all sorts of details. We really appreciated having access to their inventory items -- this saved us so much time, thought, and money. It's so apparent that Adam and Christina really care about making your big day as seamless and easy as possible. Our venue was outside of the Twin Cities, and Dos Goats went out of their way to transport our cake and cupcakes all the way there! They are experts in their trade, know SO much about wedding planning and getting the job done, and truly care about making your big day all about you. We highly recommend working with Dos Goats!

Anna St. Amant: Adam & Christina were so incredible to work with. We were recommended to them by a friend and after meeting them once, we knew they were the coordinators for us. They were incredibly helpful with every details leading up to the wedding. They answered all of our questions and were able to provide so much insight as we made decisions. On the wedding day they were on top of everything and kept it running smoothly. From suggesting the venue, to cleaning mud off the hem of my dress, and everything in between they were an absolute dream to work with. I wish we could get married again so we could continue working with them.

Katie Macioch: This review is long overdue, but I had to share how much we loved and appreciated having Adam and Christina as part of our wedding day.We were not having a wedding party, and we wanted our friends and family to enjoy the day without having to help with anything, so we know we wanted to work with a wedding planner of some sort. We had originally reached out to them back in Fall 2019 for a wedding in January 2021. Once we met we knew we wanted to work with them and we are so glad we did. They know so many trusted wedding contacts from around the twin cities and almost all of our vendors came from their recommendations. With everything going on with Covid in January 2021, we decided to postpone a year to January 2022 and they were really a godsend during that time. Any time I had a moment of panic on vendors changing, getting sick, new mask and vaccine restrictions a week before, last minute guest count changes, they were there to help us and work through it as well as just helping with normal wedding questions.We ended up having our wedding and reception at Watson Block for about 60 guests and the whole day was perfect. We truly didn’t have to worry about a thing and we were sad when it was time to say goodbye to them at the end of the night! If you have made it this far down the review and are considering hiring Dos Goats, do it, you won’t regret it. They will help make your day amazing!

Hailey Andrashko-Wilson: We used Dos Goats for day of coordination but they do so much more than that! My husband was unsure about a day of coordinator for our wedding. But after our first meeting, he saw the value they bring. Leading up to our big day, we had multiple meetings to go over details, they gave recommendations, and had a ton of decor we could use. On the big day, I has NO STRESS because of them. They set everything up, coordinated with all vendors, took everything down, and ensured everything went smoothly. I honestly cannot speak highly enough about them. Christina and Adam and a treat to work with. If you are thinking of booking them, do it, do it, do it! I promise, your wedding will go off without a hitch with them!

Joshua Siebenaler: We hired Dos Goats about a year and a half ahead of our wedding and hired them for the day-of package. Adam, Christina, and Jory were all wonderful partners throughout our planning process and during the day-of.Perhaps the best value was Dos Goats' rental items -- we used their lanterns, candles, arches, and I think more? They made up a lot of our wedding decor, and their options are always growing!The planning spreadsheets that they provide are very helpful, though they are a little daunting if you aren't mentally prepared. Some are a little redundant, but they are still a useful framework.Highly recommend their services, and we're grateful to have had them in our corner.

anna king: Dos goats plans was phenomenal! Easy going and so fun to work with. Both Adam and Christina are well networked and we’re such an effective resource in planning our perfect wedding. We chose the wedding day management plan which helped us really know Dos Goats and feel so trusting in their work. Any question, and decor item, any balloon installation they have it, know someone with it or who can do it. Day of Adam and Christina were organized, attentive, and so supportive.

Rachel Klaven: Adam and Christina were wonderful to work with! They won’t be for everyone – they have a very chill and laid-back approach which was a little hard for me to calibrate to at first, but I actually ended up really liking their energy because it helped balance out mine. 😊They met with us a few times before the actual day-of to give us input on the planning, and they answered lots of random questions about logistics, vendors, etc. along the way which was awesome. Another HUGE advantage of hiring them was being able to use all of their decorations for free – this definitely saved us hundreds of dollars. Even the arch was theirs! They were usually super fast to respond to emails. A few times they were unresponsive, but once I would re-send the email they would usually reply right away. Overall I would definitely recommend them if you want a chill and highly experienced duo who can provide a lot of great knowledge and décor.

Jenine Knoll: Absolutely the best planners available in the twin cities. Adam and Christina are beyond organized and efficient; they have great contacts and provide a high quality planning tool. I am a project manager on multi million dollar global programs and I could not be happier with how they worked with us for an entire weekend of activities. My 84 year old mother still is taking about her delight over Adam’s excitement to show her and my mother-in-law the floral arrangements in the reception area. Their ownership of the events made them feel like the most fun, cool, smartest family members you could dream of because you cannot believe anyone who isn’t family would have that much passion for your wedding. Quick! Hire them before they realize how amazing they are and raise their rates!!!!Photo by Clewell Photography

Kelsey Japs: Adam and Christina are an amazing, professional team with fabulous calming, great energy vibes. We hired them to help us plan our wedding. In the process of finding them, we interviewed about 6 planners and really only connected with Adam and Christina. Being out of state, we were worried about everything related to wedding planning plus we were new at this, so there was a lot of things we didn’t know and they helped us fill in the gaps. They helped us through the entire process from selecting an amazing vendor team that met our goals and vibes of our wedding to ensuring that our special day ran smoothly. Our wedding day was absolutely stress-free thanks to their careful eye, thorough planning and clear communication. Hiring them was one of the best decisions and we would highly recommend them.

JaCey Lynn Printup: Adam and Christina were fantastic to work with. They and Joey took so much stress off for our big day and made sure every gear kept moving. I would highly recommend working with Dos Goats if you’re looking for planners who keep it real and are always upfront with you. They seriously made our rainy outdoor wedding run seamlessly.

Marty Haas: Kalsey, Hannah, Betsey are a dream team

Mollie Knowles: I have hired Do Good Events to help staff our annual gala for the past few years. They do a fantastic job and I would absolutely recommend hiring them to help staff any event. They are extremely professional, jump right into the work upon arrival and also go above and beyond the work that needs to be done. I also appreciate that they are seasoned event staffers so they know how to speak to attendees, they understand the ever-changing dynamics of events, and can easily adapt as needed.

Mich Studio: Worked with Do Good Events on a number of occasions, on events of varying sizes, and each time I am impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and incredible ability to anticipate the needs of clients and their guests. My highest recommendation for a seamless and flawless event.

Sydney Young: Megan was a pleasure to work with. The whole team has a great eye for detail, attentiveness, organization, and being prepared. We would invite them back to Inwood Oaks Event center, anytime!Thanks for a great event, ladies!

John Gorra: Genuine concern and attention to event outcomes

Rylie Ketchum: Do Good has been an integral part of helping plan and execute our charity fundraising event for a few years now. We could not be more thankful for their help!

Josh Reitan: We absolutely love to work with Kalsey and her amazing team at Do Good Events! What a fantastic group of professional and talented event planners!

Katie Jones: I love getting to work with Kalsey and her team on my company's corporate events. They bring a fun energy that amplifies our work conferences. Kalsey is very well connected in the community and partners with awesome vendors that fit their "Do Good" mission. I look forward to working with Kalsey and her team in the future!

Michelle Twite: Do Good Events is wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend Kalsey and her team. All of our guests are continually impressed with Do Good Events!

Andrea Trombley: Do Good Events is simply the best. We continue to engage them year over year for our annual event and rewards trip. Kalsey and her team never miss a detail and they have helped plan some of the best events - people provide such positive reviews after their events. A fantastic company with great people.

Melissa Johnston: Kalsey and her team are fabulous to work with! She organizes numerous events for my employer and the nonprofits I'm involved with, and her team is amazing at elevating everyone's experience. Highly recommend!!

Jonathan Charpentier: Awesome team!

Madeline Cuskey: I felt like I didn't have a worry in the world because Anna took everything in stride and made sure things went accordingly. She was so thoughtful and intentional in every single detail, and I couldn't have had a better experience with a kinder and more attentive person. From transportation to our beautiful floral installation to having an "outside" and "inside" wedding bouquet for our winter wedding, each element was carefully planned, and no detail was left behind. Our day was perfect! It was such a pleasure to work with Style Architects, they are beyond talented, and I couldn't recommend them enough!!

Sara Helgeson: I cannot recommend Style-Architects and Rachelle enough. From picking and hiring vendors, designing “the vision”, and pulling everything together for the PERFECT day, Rachelle’s attention to detail was invaluable. I wasn’t sure what I wanted or what even was out there for options, so the thought of planning a wedding was initially overwhelming. Rachelle put all worries at ease; she provided recommendations and design ideas at multiple price points and helped facilitate meetings with vendors to help us make sure they were a good fit for us. It was also great to have someone else keeping track of contracts and payment dates and coordinating everyone when we were busy with everything else. Our wedding was so beautiful, so fun, and ran so smoothly that our family and friends are still gushing about it months later. We couldn’t have hoped for a better wedding day! Thank you thank you Rachelle and Anna!!

Megan Hoffman: but within 2 days we had new venur tours lined up and within 3 days we had a new beautiful venue! The service they provided duirng that period was priceless - talk about a life a saver!The vision both Anna and Rachelle had for our big day was more than I could have ever imagined. They have a network of every single vendor that could provide anything your wildest dreams could think of - they were never out of fun and cute new ideas to try. The final product of our big day was out of this world gorgeous and I just cannot believe it was our wedding. It was one of those visions you thought you would only see in magazines.They are both so hard working and really go above and beyond for their clients - they understand the industry and market and really can scale for any budget!Do not hesitate to hire them for your big day!

Erica Jons: We cannot say enough wonderful things about the service we received with Style Architects during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, Rachelle assisted us with refining our vision and supported us with resources and knowledge to bring the vision to life.As a result, our wedding day was perfect, stress free, and flowed seamlessly. Rachelle’s team handled all vendor management, venue coordination, bridal party communication, timeline, and so much more behind the scenes so we could be present and enjoy every moment. Seeing every single detail come to life on our wedding day was unbelievable and something we will always cherish. We attribute the smooth and timely cadence of the day, as well as every beautiful finishing touch to Rachelle and her team.Rachelle was extremely organized and communicative throughout the entire process. She kept us on track with our tasks and in the loop with any outstanding items. With every decision we made, Rachelle provided thoughtful advice and expertise. She brings perspective and helps you consider what you wouldn’t think of on your own. We genuinely enjoyed the wedding planning process!Rachelle’s experience and commitment to excellence for our wedding experience is unmatched. Rachelle and her team added immense value to our planning process and wedding day, which brought joy to everyone on our wedding day. We can’t imagine our special day coming together the way it did without Rachelle and her teams’ support. We continue to recommend Style Architects Weddings and Events!

Corri Hoy: We absolutely loved working with Anna and Rachelle. When our wedding day weather wasn't as perfect as planned, they saved the ceremony by pulling clear umbrellas basically out of nowhere! We didn't even realize that rain was a possibility the day of but are so relieved that they were prepared for anything. They were so beyond helpful and supportive during the day and even helped us keep the biggest secret ever- that we had just found out we were expecting a baby! Thank you, Anna and Rachelle for being such a large part of our most wonderful day. You two are truly gifted at what you do, and we appreciate you so much!

Eric Perryman: I want to share our amazing experience with Rachelle and Style-Architects Wedding and Events, who orchestrated the wedding of our dreams in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this past August 2023. If you're on the hunt for a wedding planner who will turn your vision into a reality, look no further.From the outset, Rachelle's attention to detail was mind-blowing. She left no stone unturned in planning our big day. Her organizational skills are top-notch, and she effortlessly tackled any challenges that arose along the way. We had complete peace of mind throughout the entire process.What truly sets Rachelle apart is her warm and personable nature. She became more than just our wedding planner; she became a trusted confidant who offered support and guidance at every turn. On the day of our wedding, she executed every detail flawlessly, creating a day that exceeded our wildest expectations.If you're in the midst of planning your own wedding and considering a wedding planner, Rachelle is the one you want by your side. She's a consummate professional with an unmatched passion for what she does. Our wedding was a testament to her dedication and expertise.Rachelle, thank you for making our wedding an unforgettable experience.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with her.-Eric and Katherine!

Melanie Dzurik: Rachelle and her team are simply amazing! They took all of the stress out of planning our big day and made sure everything ran smoothly. The attention to detail and organization was impeccable and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. Rachelle was also incredibly responsive and always available to answer any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of professional and experienced wedding planning services.- Ben and Melanie Dzurik

Erin Hurley: Anna and Rachelle couldn't have done a better job with planning our dream wedding! They are so talented and have the best ideas/suggestions, especially for someone that doesn't really know what they want when they begin planning a wedding! They truly made it such an enjoyable and easy experience. Our wedding turned out beyond beautiful, it was the perfect day from start to finish! I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Kelley Shiels: Rachelle was so amazing to work with! She had such unique ideas and really made my day exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't believe how literally nothing went wrong on my day and I truly owe that to Rachelle. She thought of EVERYTHING. She was so organized and on top of things. Even with her backlog of COVID weddings going on, she made sure we never got behind on planning. She went above and beyond in helping me surprise my parents with a gift of bridal portraits. She knows the best people to work with, she makes every wedding so personal to the couple, and it felt like a friendship rather than just a business relationship. Our wedding day was truly spectacular and I can't thank Rachelle enough for that. I got her full planning package and I would highly recommend it if you don't want to feel any planning-related stress on your wedding day!!

Krista Dotzenrod: .Anna and another coordinator were there the day of, and were amazing. They got everyone and everything where they needed to be on time to make sure the day went smoothly. I did not need to look at my phone once that day, and I was free to enjoy the moment.Do yourself a huge favor and work with Style Architects wedding! You will not regret it

Ramzi Dreessen: ! Rachelle and Anna kept us on-schedule leading up to the wedding, and scrutinized every cost, saving us money

Dayton Woods: Rachelle was a JOY to work with and so much help! She provided numerous vendor recommendations, excel charts, and timelines to keep us on track and organized. On our wedding day Rachelle and Brandy went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and we didn't have to worry about anything! Would recommend Style-Architects to everyone!

Amelia Williams: We could not have imagined anyone planning our wedding but Rachelle. Her attention to detail, strong relationships with vendors, and passion for event design made her such a joy to work with. As a couple planning from out of town, having a planner who is so knowledgeable about the Twin Cities wedding industry relieved so much stress and hand-wringing – especially in the first few months of pandemic lockdown. Thank you, Rachelle, for being such a creative, thoughtful, fun partner in bringing our vision to life

Naomi Meulemans: When my husband and I started planning our wedding from across the country, we knew that we needed a planner that would be organized, thorough and share our vision for the big day. I extensively researched planners and found Rachelle to be highly recommended with glowing reviews. After interviewing a few planners, Rachelle's passion and enthusiasm for wedding planning stood out and we hired her immediately. She was ready to get started with a let's get down to business attitude. Most of our meetings were remote due to COVID-19 with a few planned trips in person. She was flexible with meeting times and went to visit sites/vendors remotely for us. Her recommendations for vendors were spot on and she was able to take our Pinterest inspiration photos and help us come up with a wedding vision. After now having our wedding, we could not be happier with Rachelle! Hiring her was the best decision we made throughout our planning process. She made planning a wedding during a pandemic a breeze. She was professional, flexible, always ready and ahead of the game with back-up plans and creative ideas to work around the pandemic restrictions. Our wedding was a dream and better than we could have imagined. Looking back there is no one else I would have trusted with helping us plan our wedding. It wouldn't have been possible without Rachelle! We can't thank her enough.

Parv Dumonsau: Rachelle, thank you so much for helping us plan our wedding!We have received so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful, elegant, and fun our wedding was.We truly appreciate how you were thoughtful you were about our ideas, and took those ideas and implemented them in such a successful way!Thank you for patiently going through all the iterations that our wedding had to go through in the last year and half, and for being an advocate for us with all the vendors!We hope our paths will cross again!Love,John & Parv

Kristen Hindt: Rachelle is amazing! I knew we needed to hire a planner for our wedding the moment we got engaged, because I didn't even know where to start. After speaking to a few planners, we met with Rachelle and instantly clicked with her. We could tell that she was highly organized, was well-connected within the industry and had great design sense. Although we didn't have to postpone our wedding due to COVID, there were many related considerations to navigate throughout the 1.5 year-long planning process, and I greatly appreciated Rachelle's frankness, level-headed attitude and communication throughout.She did a great job tracking and sticking to our budget, and advising us on where we could save money and where it would be best to spend a little more. We were extremely happy with all of the vendors she recommended to us, and she did a great job of tying in the vibe/design of the wedding among the vendors. Creativity and design is not my strong suit, but I knew I wanted a colorful wedding. I really appreciated Rachelle's ideas and gentle nudges when I was having a hard time making the design-related decisions related to linens, florals and even bridesmaid dress colors. I couldn't believe how perfect our fully decorated venue looked when I first stepped into it the day of our wedding.Rachelle also did a great job with timeline suggestions, including breaking up the speeches and doing some dancing before dinner to get the party started! We received so many compliments from our guests. We seriously could not have done it without her - hire Rachelle!

Lisa B: I knew my daughter would need a wedding planner and after searching and calling different planners we settled on Rachelle with Style-Architects Weddings and Events. Rachelle let us know right away that she would not be able to be there on the wedding day but would make sure the day was in good hands and understood if we decided not to hire her. My daughter had such a good experience in her initial meeting with Rachelle that she stayed with Style-Architects knowing Rachelle would not be there on the day of the wedding. I have to say, I think we hit the jackpot by choosing Style-Architects. I honestly can't imagine how we could have done it without Rachelle. She gave my daughter great vendor recommendations, she has outstanding relationships with others throughout the industry, and she kept my daughter on track. She has a great eye for beauty and design and really knows how to make your day just absolutely gorgeous. When we approached my daughter's wedding month she brought in another wonderful wedding planner to ease the transition for her absence on the wedding day. Rachelle's attention to detail and her planning and organizational skills facilitated a smooth hand-off to the new planner in a way that gave us all a lot of confidence. She continued leading my daughters planning all the way to the day of the wedding and even found a way to stop in and see us during the reception. I can't say enough how pleased we were with Style-Architects. Rachelle was able to bring my daughter's wedding dream to an unforgettable reality. I had so many guests tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and they were impressed with how everything went off without a hitch. Thank you, Rachelle!

Meghan Jenkins: You will be in the BEST of hands with Rachelle as your wedding planner! I had the pleasure of working with her for over a year and a half while we planned our August 2021 wedding. Her attention to detail, visionary mindset, industry connections, and organization all contributed to creating the wedding of our dreams. From what started as my somewhat "vague" vision, turned in to the most beautiful and unique event with Rachelle's planning and guidance. We received so many compliments for how gorgeous the ceremony and reception were, and how well the wedding day ran. I had complete peace of mind the day of my wedding thanks to all of the planning and organization that went into it the months and days leading up. We couldn't have done it without Rachelle!

Claudia Neu Urban: We are so thrilled with MAVEN and our work with Steph for our wedding day! We had a very tumultuous wedding planning process and upon hiring Steph as our Day of Coordinator, we were able to take a deep breath of relief knowing that our day would be beautiful with her help. Leading up to the wedding, Steph was so thorough in knowing how we wanted our day to feel and look, and she also helped with multiple timeline changes and coordinating all of our vendors. The day of, we felt so at ease and were overjoyed with how beautiful the day turned out. Everything went exactly as we planned!

Abbey Burtis Peterson: We went with MAVEN for wedding coordination and could not be happier! Steph, our lead coordinator, was extremely flexible and responsive leading up to the wedding, and totally amazing day of, along with Maggie. Steph made note of every detail and thought of things I wouldn't have. I was able to completely relax on our wedding day knowing we were in good hands. Our guests were sharing compliments all night!

Molly Newell: Hands down the best in the business! Maven was a DREAM to work with for our wedding day floral and coordination. Kelly ensured the month of and day of ran so smoothly. She was so calm and helpful with hiccups along the way, she made us feel so heard and understood, and on top of it all was such a wonderful person to have alongside us on wedding day. She is an expert and it is so clear why she is so highly regarded in the industry. Rachael made our floral dreams come true on a budget. She went above and beyond to execute our vision while somehow making it more beautiful than I ever imagined. She is truly an artist and we're so so lucky she worked her magic at our wedding! I will never shut up about how amazing Maven was for our wedding!!

Megan Keiser: as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at The Neu Neu. I'm absolutely blown away by everything Jordan did for us. She is organized, thoughtful and incredibly detail-oriented. She was so helpful in every planning meeting we had before our wedding, making sure every detail was thought through and ensuring all of my questions were answered. And she really went above and beyond day of - we brought a lot of decor in ourselves and she set everything up so beautifully and handled vendor coordination flawlessly. I was able to sit back and enjoy the day, fully confident that she would handle anything that came her way. I still have family and friends talking about how great she is - we truly could not have done this without her and are so grateful to Jordan and the MAVEN team for their hard work and thoughtfulness.

Maren Rikess: Stephanie and Alyssa were so professional, so helpful, and had things running so smoothly for our wedding! Steph’s support throughout the final month countdown was the best way to settle any sort of wedding nerves or stress about the big day. Steph set everything up so nicely, and even without doing a ceremony rehearsal, our ceremony flowed perfectly because of the confidence and direction of Steph. We never felt rushed or stressed, which is something that I’m SO thankful for. And at the end of the evening, the tear down went so fast due to Steph’s and Alyssa’s hard work. I am so happy with how everything turned out and I couldn’t have done it without MAVEN. Thank you so much for everything!! Cannot recommend MAVEN enough!!!

Laura Bartl: Working with MAVEN was such a great experience! We worked with Steph as our lead coordinator and I could not speak more highly of her! Her communication and organization was amazing, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. She went above and beyond the day of, and we had so many great meetings with her beforehand. We even had friends/family comment how helpful she was throughout the wedding day! Thank you Steph, and the entire Maven team! Your wedding will be in good hands with them!

Anna Waggener: My partner and I engaged Maven as our day-of coordinator back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding, which we had to postpone. Flash forward to 2022, and Steph was assigned to our event. She was an amazing partner throughout the process, meeting with us in person and by Zoom multiple times to make sure all the details were communicated and we felt comfortable handing things over to her for the day. We also felt that she really got the kind of event we were trying to deliver for our guests, and made suggestions that honored that vision.Day-of, Steph was very present and warm, and she coordinated across all of our vendors to pull off the day and make sure music cues and other details went smoothly. She always had a smile on her face, and if we had any requests, she was able to figure them out. We could not have been happier and we would recommend Maven--and especially Steph, who is a joy to work with--for future events!

Danielle Haller: Rachel and Alyssa were our coordinators 5.28.22 and they did an incredible job. They were on top if everything, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, checking in vendors and entertainment, making sure things were packed up and ready for us to go. Our night would not have gone half as smoothly without them. Cannot recommend their services more.

Michael Travaline: We used MAVEN for a destination wedding and worked directly with Kelly throughout the process. I could not imagine working with anyone else. Kelly was able to guide us throughout the planning process and navigate a complicated web of international vendors. In the end, every aspect of our wedding surpassed our expectations and we could not imagine having a smoother and more enjoyable wedding day. I could not recommend using MAVEN enough!

Uli Martinez: We have had the pleasure of working alongside the MAVEN team for the better part of five years and can not recommend them enough.Upon meeting them, and working a few events along side their team, I was impressed with their professionalism, organization, and commitment to executing impeccable events, while providing the best possible service to all guests and stakeholders.At first, I thought it was just a couple of superstars that I had been randomly paired up with. But, after working dozens of events, alongside countless MAVEN coordinators and leaders, I realized that they were ALL THAT GOOD. This is clearly a testament to their careful dedication to attracting the right talent, providing top-notch training, and having an unwavering attention to detail that has become so rare in this day and age, regardless of industry.On top of all of this, they are kind, friendly, fun to work with, and genuinely good people. You''ll be hard pressed to find a more committed and talented group of people to execute your event.

Elayna Waxse: I would highly recommend her as a wedding coordinator, I felt like she had our back the entire time.

Andrea Lee: . Responsiveness was fantastic throughout, which I appreciated as an anxious person/bride, but there was truly nothing to worry about - they are so professional, good and caring. They want the best for you!

Ali Eull: Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness

Amanda Brown: stress free without Maven. We worked with them on design, florals, and day-of coordination, and for almost a year, answered every question I had and kept me calm and confident my wedding would happen even as I planned in the midst of COVID. The final day was exactly the wedding I wanted - they completely brought it to life.Specifically, Rachael and Shaley, our floral designer and head designer, made our wedding absolutely stunning. It was exactly what we pictured when we first started planning but also somehow better?! The florals were incredible and every detail was so beautiful and unique and cool. When we got our photos back, we just marveled again at how well everything came together. Shaley did our initial design and connected us with all the vendors to make it happen, and Rachael took that initial design and ran with it in her final florals.We also worked with Calley for our day-of coordination, and she made sure everything went amazingly smoothly. She was somehow invisible but everywhere during the night! She made sure everything ran on time, looked great, and even that my husband and I got to eat all the food we wanted. She helped us get through our final month of planning with our sanity intact and made sure everything came together in the end.

Madeline Fix: I’ve dreamt about designing my wedding since I was little. The flowers, the table settings, the little details are all very important to me, which is why I originally hired MAVEN.Long story short, we had quite a few wrenches thrown at us when planning our wedding

J Nelson: Rachel and Anna with MAVEN Styling were amazing! They were my day-of event coordinators for a rehearsal dinner we held at the Neu Neu in Minneapolis. I could never have gotten through my event successfully without them! They made suggestions about details I overlooked and went above and beyond with helping me feel comfortable with the plan. Most importantly, I was able to completely enjoy my event just as much as my guests did because they kept tabs on the timeline and every detail. On top of all that, they were both delightful women! I truly enjoyed working with them. Thank you Rachel and Anna!!

Laura Wahl: I was absolutely blown away by the floral design by Maven for our wedding! Everything was so beautiful and better than I could have imagined. Kati was extremely helpful and accommodating when dealing with our covid changes and adjustments. We will look back at our wedding photos and forever admire our flowers!! Can’t thank Maven enough!

Camille Sanzi: The MAVEN team was professional, friendly and creative throughout our entire wedding planning process and was committed to ensuring our vision came to life. The team communicated clearly and often, which was much appreciated during what was a tough and uncertain time to plan a wedding and the floral on the day of was even more beautiful than we hoped.

Tyler M. Paape: responsive, creative, and passionate event partners in the Twin Cities. I am grateful for their entire team.

Sharla Burth: We had a small event and thought it was too small of a job for event lab however they worked with us to provide a BEAUTIFUL event just as we imagined. They stayed in our price range while making the event look out of our range. Set up and take down was seamless. Brooklyn was the EASIEST person to work with and went above and beyond for us and we loved her "emergency" cutlery and tablecloth that saved the day! Thanks Event lab!

Jim Johnson: Need help with a party? These people won't let you down.

Patsy Keech: Listened to the vision and captured it completely. Easy to work with, responds back quickly. Excellent workmanship!!! Will hire again.

Caitlin Sloan: Event Lab knocked it out of the park! Jen and Lindsay were absolutely amazing to work with. My organization held an event that wrapped up our annual conference at Orchestra Hall and they made our vision come true! We were so lucky to have these two ladies as an extension of our team while in Minneapolis to make the night a success. I know if I booked them again, I'd be in the best hands in Minneapolis!

Carly Baker: We hired Event Lab to throw our daughter’s 1st Birthday Carnival. Sam Groves and her team were incredible. It was pouring rain the morning of our event and when we arrived to the park- she was there and already had a plan. The team did an absolutely beautiful job. Our friends and family had an amazing time! We couldn’t be any happier!! Thank you so much, Sam. We will absolutely be using Event Lab again!

Rebecca Woodward: Fantastic vendor. Reasonable pricing. Amazing inventory and quality products. Wonderful communication with staff.

Lala Lew: They have so many fun and unique items to rent for any event. Brooklyn is super helpful and gets the vision that you're trying to attain. Super nice.

Martin Buerkle: If you need a flawless event this is the place!!
