lasting impressions weddings is an award-winning minnesota wedding planning and design company

After coordinating weddings for over 17 years I have had the privilege of working with a lot of the same families when they have multiple sons/daughter’s get married.. and its one of my favorite parts about my job. I love getting to know a family and the Charpentier Family is no different! Honestly, Ive been trying to be part of the family since I met them years ago while planning Emily and Andrew’s wedding 🙂

This time it was Grace and Jake’s turn and they had a nice long engagement which made securing the vendors they wanted easy and the planning the details alot of fun. They booked Willow Brooke Farm when it was just getting finished with construction and they knew it was the perfect venue the minute they saw it. The clean white color palette of the venue really made it fun to add some fun details like a black and white dance floor from Apres, an elevated floral runner on the head table and cold sparks for the dance.

I had the privilege of working with Emily and Andrew on their beautiful fall wedding at Hope Glen Farm. It was a venue that we had never worked at before and was always on my “list” of top venues I wanted to work at. They did not disappoint; Everyone from the owners of Hope Glen Farm to the event planner onsite were so gracious in answering questions and making sure that Emily and Andrew’s wedding went perfectly!

The wedding was full of details and perfectly picked vendors to pull the day together!! Camrose Hill Flowers transformed the already beautiful venue with TONS of flowers and greenery!! Farina made sweet treats for all of the guests to ensure they would dance the night away!!!! It was also my first time working with the CUTE Photobooth company – Northerly. It was the perfect compliment to Hope Glen Farm’s setting.

2019 was an amazing year for Lasting Impressions.. Thank you to all of our couples and families that we were able to assist this year!!! I am excited for all 2020 has to offer!

When Grace first called me about assisting her with her fall wedding, I was skeptical I would have enough time to be able to fully assist her planning a wedding in a few short months. But the more details that Grace told me about.. the more I realized I needed to be a part of this day.. and after all.. the wedding was at a Horse Farm… She pretty much had me at Horse Farm 🙂

Grace is a competitive rider that recently moved to Minnesota to be with her fiancé Chris. She quickly found a great stable for her hobby and created wonderful friendships with the owner of the farm and the rest is history (and one beautiful fall wedding!!)
