16 Years of Community & Collaboration!
We had such a fun night celebrating Twin Cities‘s wedding and event professionals, 16th anniversary—and we’re feeling extra grateful this week.

As wedding planners with Rustic Elegance, we were truly honored to be nominated as one of the Top 3 Vendors in the Vendor Excellence category! What an honor and such a special recognition.

This group has been a huge part of our journey, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the friendships, connections, and support we’ve found here.

Here’s to growing together and lifting each other up in this amazing wedding world!

Are you dreaming of getting married in Italy… without the hassle of getting all of your guests out of the midwest?

A Villa Bellezza Winery wedding may be the perfect fit! Every inch of the venue is absolutely stunning and makes you feel like you jumped on a plane and left the country. ✈️

Olivia and Ralph were such a fun couple for us to plan with. Olivia used to be an assistant planner with our team years ago, so having the opportunity to plan her wedding was such a full circle moment!

Thomas and Lauren’s wedding is a perfect example of why you should hire a wedding coordinator that you 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕.

When their wedding venue suddenly closed, we were able to start connecting with our tightly knit wedding community for help.

The result? A perfect wedding day to celebrate their love with a ceremony at Molitor’s Quarry and reception at Harvester Square! 🙌🏼

Are you hoping for a wedding day that feels like it’s in your backyard, but without the stress of hosting?

Northern Oaks Events made that dream come true for Kendra and Colin! 🤩

The day started by getting ready in the log house, followed by an outdoor ceremony by the pond. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying the outdoors and the large reception pavilion. Being located on 100 acres of wooded property, Kendra and Colin’s guests had endless natural beauty to enjoy!
