I was so lucky to be involved with the independent wedding fair. The fair was a low-key and informative event featuring 23 amazing local wedding professionals talking about what they do.
The wedding vendors that participated are very passionate folks. When you love what you do, it is wonderful to be able to talk with people about it, and the relaxed atmosphere of the FIVE event center mixed with the awesome vendors made for some great conversations with brides and grooms. It didn’t hurt that Jessica’s Cakes and Sweets bakeshop made impressive displays of their gorgeously edible creations.
It was a pleasure to finally meet Katrina from Studio Laguna Photography, and also spend some time with Krista from Never Miss A Moment. I had already met the amazing Maribeth from Red Ribbon Studio a few times, and her work on the design and marketing for the fair was tremendous. And, of course, my good friends Sarah from Sarah McGee Photography and Jennie of Sewell Photography are always a pleasure to spend time with.
If you are still looking for music for your wedding, I can recommend without reservation Urthema Quartet, who perform an amazing array of things from traditionally “wedding” pieces (Pachabels Cannon) to Jazz and pop, to their own compositions. Also, Radio K (University of Minnesota’s student radio) played an ecclectic mix of music on the first floor.
I was able to join in the discussion panel about planning your wedding timeline, and then moderating the panels on how to style your wedding and getting the most bang for your buck.
Special thanks to Kate from KNG Sommers Photography for many of the photos!
The amazing Fesitivities showcased many of their outstanding linens on the second floor tables.
