She has…read morethe warmest, most calming personality, and even though I had only hired her for Day-Of Coordination, she was more than happy to take my calls and talk to me whenever I was feeling panicked or stressed, and even attend vendor meetings with me. She is just so fantastic, and such a godsend, I really can't say enough good things. She goes above and beyond, and is more than just a professional, she makes it feel like you are working with a friend. If you are even considering working with Maddie and Ask For the Moon Events, I highly recommend you do! One phone call with Maddie and you will be feeling calm and prepared- I promise it will be one of the best decisions you make!

Ask for the Moon Events is simply the best wedding planning company in the Twin Cities. We had the…read morepleasure of working with the queen bee herself, Maddie . A little bit about us , we are two gay men who have live in NYC for ten years , we have been to lots of parties , and had high expectations . Here is why we love Maddie Money - Maddy's price is very reasonable even for Minnesota standards- she pretty much paid for herself by saving us thousands of dollars with her long list of A list vendors. From linens , to desserts , to chandeliers. Maddie provided us with the best quality to price ratio. She attended every meeting, every tasting, and served as a liaison if we decided to make changes. Execution- Optimistic and fast, Maddie was sweet as sugar, but don't mistake that for weakness. Maddie has been in the business a long time, she made sure that the vendors were on point, modified timelines, and was prepared for the unexpected. She took the stress away and worked hard to make our wedding a success. Therapist - Maddie was personal and empathetic. She listened to every family drama, annoyance, or groomzilla crises that we went through. Professional yet approachable, Also she would respond to every email and phone call within an hour. Cutting edge As jaded New Yorkers , we had lots of fashion and PR industry patrons attend our reception. Our friends were blown away, by the execution creativity, and visual presentation of our wedding . This was because of Maddie . So in the end she is simply the best , she did exactly what we wanted , anticipated out needs, and kept us calm. If you want to plan a serious wedding that will impress your friends , hire this lady and her amazing team. She's the best in Minnesota and would kill it in NYC.

Leslie was a dream!…read more My (now!) husband and I decided to have a pop-up wedding during a week-long visit to the Twin Cities. Searching Yelp, we found Leslie with Ceremonies by Positively Charmed days before hopping on a plane for our trip. While we weren't sure if Yelp was the best way to find the individual who would be reading our vows and pronouncing us husband and wife...we cannot say enough for how honored and blessed we are to have had Leslie guiding us into our marriage. With only five days notice, she still took the time to talk us through her process and provided us with a questionnaire that helped her get to know us but also gave us another opportunity to reflect on the gravity and beauty of the decision we were making. When the day arrived, it was as if she was already part of our family and understood the two of us and what marriage and this commitment meant to us. Not an eye remained dry through the ceremony. It had so much heart and depth, and truly reflected us. An intimate and sacred gathering. Leslie will ALWAYS be a part of the joy and delight of our wedding day.

Not having to wonder what to do on Mother's Day. Or Easter. Or New Year's Eve. The Minneapolis Club just takes care of it. Brunch, more brunch (with a petting zoo), and Murph and the Magic Tones, respectively. (All that said, weekend restuarant service is typically on only special occasions.) Major use of this club is lunch during the week. People have tons of business lunches. I never have, and it's mausoleum-esque on Friday night, which I don't mind. The food is excellent. The gym has one squat rack and no deadlifting platform, but there are real weights, lots of treadmills, and it's the sort of place where your old lady can get her Pilates with wine. The pool is too warm but very clean. It's got one of the only doubles squash courts in the state. No racquetball. The locker room will make you think you're a Master of the Universe, even though you're in the Upper Midwest and decidedly upper middle class. They have an attached hotel. I use it to house my Fox-News-watching parents. When they awaken at the crack of noon, the concierge tells them how nice I am. The concierge also gets us tickets to stuff. (Fourth row at Ali Wong, sky box for the Twins, etc. ;) Lots of banquet rooms upstairs. Great for hosting lunches to grow your business. Or depositions. Lots and lots of high-end reciprocal clubs. And everyone is nice. Not Minnesota nice. Legit nice. Bottom line: This is an appropriate use of money. It's not cheap, but it's absolutely not ridiculous.

She came to my house and picked everything up the weekend before. Called all my vendors a few days out to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. We only met once right after I got engaged and I knew she was the gal for me. After a short conversation I felt very comfortable that she knew exactly what I was looking for. She gave me all kinds of great tips and recommendations. Because of the venue I got married at, there was no dressing area for me to hide in, so I didn't arrive at the wedding until it was time to walk down the aisle. I hadn't seen the venue decorated until then. I could not stop looking around. She made my wedding more beautiful than I imagined it would. If she was stressed out, it didn't show. Every time she talked to me she was as cool as a cucumber. I can't sing her praises enough!

We also liked that they are a local, fair-trade, sustainable and organic whenever possible. We asked for colorful and tropical inspired flowers and they did a wonderful job! Kim listened to what I wanted and made it so much better. Due to Covid precautions, we chatted over zoom, email, and text. Payment was super easy over venmo (we stayed around the budget that I wanted), she sent "sneak peek" texts so I could give feedback on the bouquets and boutonnieres, and I was able to pickup the flowers from S. Minneapolis. The flowers are still looking beautiful a few days after the event and still make me smile every time I see them. We've also received nothing but positive and gushing feedback on how they look from our guests and others seeing pictures. Can't wait to order more flowers from them in the future!
