I’m still in awe of how incredible the Minnesota Bride Best of 2024 event turned out! Held at the stunning Equestria West at Bavaria Downs — one of my personal favorite venues — this event is one of the biggest in the industry each year. It was a true honor to plan and design this year’s celebration. ✨🩷🪩🦙
I poured my heart and soul into making sure this year’s event was truly memorable for the 600+ attendees, who included planners, caterers, photographers, DJs, videographers, content creators, and more. We had a horse out front greeting guests as they arrived, passed champagne, two espresso martini ice luges (obvi), llamas, live music, a band, puppies (omggg), a photo booth, permanent jewelry, a live guest painting, an amazing spread of food and dessert, flowers galore, and a perfect day with the most gorgeous weather.
Thank you to my husband, Brandon, and my amazing team for coming out to support me! Last but not least, a huge thank you to the amazing vendor team who absolutely brought my vision to life and made this event possible. I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. If you attended, I hope you had a wonderful time. Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists. Thanks again to Sonja Babich & Brooke Beise at Minnesota Bride for trusting me to bring this event to fruition!
