Cole at Lost Dolly graphics kicks so much ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more Lost Dolly made our wedding invite dreams come true!! Our theme was very specific and couldnt find what I was looking for at traditional vendors, and the quotes I got from other custom invite-makers were just astronomical! Finding Cole was a god-send! She didnt scoff at our low budget and she didnt make me feel loony for having such a crazy wedding theme. I was able to vaguely describe what I was picturing in my head ("I want skulls with swirlies with fancy circus letters- can you do that?") and she turned my ideas into reality! It was like she was inside my head! She was so easy to work with, and walked me through everything with 'baby steps' and was totally receptive to me tweaking things and asking her to change things like, 10 times. She also told me about awesome sparkly papers and fancy shimmery inks that made our invites look SOOO COOOL! The end result looked fancy, expensive, edgy, and totally unique! And the best part: they only LOOKED expensive! ;) Three cheers for Lost Dolly! Wooo!!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team than Matt Mason Photography for our wedding…read moreday! From the very beginning, communication with Matt was clear and easy. He was always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely excited to capture our day. The automated check ins really kept us on track and easy to follow during all of the planning chaos. On the wedding day itself, both Matt Mason and Ben Hanson made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do! They gave us just the right amount of guidance without making anything feel forced, so all of our photos look natural and full of joy. Both of them were calm, kind, and fun to be around, which helped us relax and actually enjoy the photo process. The results are stunning and we'll treasure these photos forever. We are so grateful for all the effort, attention to detail, and care they put into making sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, easy to work with, and truly go above and beyond, Matt Mason Photography is the one to book!

My husband and I hired Matt and his team for our Indian/American fusion wedding in Minneapolis, MN…read more I was familiar with his work through a friend and the quality/value of other photographers I was considering in the Twin Cities just didn't compare. It was definitely worth it to us to have Matt travel to MN - we got an 8 hour package, fusion film, and flush mount album. Matt and Matt put us, our families, and bridal party very much at ease throughout the day, and were very considerate of cultural and personality needs. They gave us latitude on certain photos/poses we wanted but also gave us great ideas. I would highly recommend Matt Mason Photography for any event!

To celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary, we were looking for a unique way to celebrate.  We decided…read moreto invest in a personal chef and contacted chef Gerard from ChefBnbEats.  Since we were not familiar with the process, we had a number of logistical questions.  Chef Gerard was responsive to all of our questions and worked with us to create our menu.  The Chef offered menu options and made recommendations when requested. Once the menu was selected, the Chef handled the food shopping. Our dinner party consisted of 9 people--5 had steak, 2 had chicken and the other two people chose fish.  The Chef also prepared side dishes of a potato stack, mushrooms, asparagus and green beans.  In addition, we requested appetizers--a charcuterie board and an apricot/maple sausage flatbread.  The appetizers were exceptional and everyone enjoyed them.  The dinner preparation was exceptional---sous chef Jasmine and chef Gerard were able to prepare all dinners in a kitchen he had never seen.   Gerard and Jasmine worked effectively as a team and took time to interact with us answering questions about their work. The meal ended with a strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream and was the perfect desert after our meal.  Chef Gerard and Sous Chef Jasmine cleaned the dishes/kitchen before departing. ChefBnbEats helped make the celebration of a 50th wedding anniversary memorable.  From menu selection, through meal preparation to cleaning, ChefBnbEats delivered an excellent value  which will be fondly remembered by everyone enjoying an expertly prepared dinner by Chef Gerard/Sous Chef Jasmine.

In this way they got a feel of the business, the color schemes we use on our promotional materials and what our goal is with this new type of advertising we wanted to invest in. A week after our meeting Gabe surprised us with a wonderful design that needed just a few tweaks. Dealing with this company was a joy - they are very courteous, accommodating and professional! Their customer service and their product is excellent and their prices are quite competitive. They use high quality materials and Tom, the business owner, supervises every step of the process. We will definitely be using them for future signs and our future advertising needs. I highly recommend them!
