Ceremony/Reception Venue: The Wilds
We will be having our ceremony and reception at The Wilds Golf Club. The Wilds is such a beautiful place, we couldn't imagine having our wedding and reception any place but here. Shannon and Nancy have been so accommodating, prompt with emails, and offer amazing packages for weddings.

Photographer: Midwest LifeShots
Jen and Scott are both such amazing photographers. I had seen their work before, and knew that I would have them shoot my wedding far before I ever got engaged. They really captured our relationship and love for each other during out engagement picture session, and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for our wedding day; I know it will be filled
with love and laughter!

DJ: Midwest Sound
Midwest Sound DJ's really impressed me with their personable staff. They called me soon after I requested more information from them, and we chatter for over an hour about the wedding, what we expect, what they have to offer, and their past experience as DJ's and at The Wilds. I trust them completely with the music at the ceremony and reception, and they have been announced as MN Bride 2011's Best Ceremony Music!

Rings: Kay Jewelers
We picked out my ring at Kay Jewelers. Our consultant helped us so much in picking the setting, and ordered in many diamonds form Jared, for us to pick the exact one that we wanted in my engagement ring. We will also be getting my wedding bands from Kay as well.

Dresses
I bought my dress from David's Bridal, and had a great experience. We went in on a Saturday with no appointment, and received great service. My consultant pulled dresses that I described to her, and ones that I knew I wanted to try on, and in the end, she pulled "The Dress" and am so thankful I had her as a consultant.
After buying my dress from David's Bridal, my bridesmaids received $20 off their dresses. So, I picked a a dress that is perfect for my spring time wedding, and great for all different body types. David's Bridal was a perfect store for my bridesmaids because they are all in different parts of the state, and can each order their dresses from the David's Bridal closest to them.

Suits
The men will be renting their charcoal gray suits from Savvi Formal Wear. The associates from the Burnsville association have been in contact with me through email, and are great at checking up with me.
We picked out the suits that the guys will be wearing, and they really exceeded my expectations as to how accommodating they are with letting Greg try on so many different options and have the same exact color of ties as the bridesmaid dresses. They have been really great so far in the planning process!

Chair Covers: Sitting Pretty
Jennifer from Sitting Pretty has been very prompt with emails and sending me various quotes, and accommodating my needs. She has also offered me the lowest price quote for chair covers that I have received from about 10 different vendors. She is setting up and taking down the chair covers, all for a very reasonable price.

Hair: Crystal Scott
Crystal was a previous co-worker of mine, and even at the age of 16, I told her that she would be doing my hair for my wedding someday; she is so talented, and I have never seen someone do hair so well!
She will also be doing my bridesmaids hair; she has been so accommodating and will be coming to The Wilds to do all of the ladies' hair!

Cake: Muddy Paws Cheesecake
Everyone has raved on TheKnot about MuddyPaws! Greg and I aren't fans of traditional cake, so we decided to have a 4 tiered cheesecake cake and mini cheesecakes surrounding the 4 tiered cake on the cake table. Guests will get to choose from 11 yummy flavors of cheesecake! Tami's priced were very affordable, and her cheesecake is to die for!
