Weddings

Yes! Because we’re all part of the same team, we work in perfect sync with our DJs, photographers, and videographers from the first planning session. Your coordinator knows exactly how we operate, which means seamless communication and zero dropped balls.

We’ll be there for every moment you want us for—coordinating with vendors, making sure tips get distributed, and ensuring everything wraps up smoothly. We don’t leave until you don’t need us anymore.

This is where we earn our keep. Lost item? Snapped strap? Family dynamics getting weird? We’re the calm in the storm. We carry emergency kits that could probably handle a small spacecraft malfunction, and we have a network of local contacts in Southeast MN and Northern IA area who can solve almost anything. Your job is to sip champagne and be blissfully unaware.

We work around the weather the best we can, but our equipment is expensive and stops working when water is introduced.
