We used NSE as the day of coordination and florist for our wedding, and it was an incredible decision! Our coordinator, Kali, and her team were so helpful and on top of every detail. From our initial call, we knew immediately that we could trust Kali (and NSE) to take over on the big day so that we could relax and enjoy every second. We received many compliments from our wedding party and guests on the professionalism of the NSE team. As a florist, NSE made our vision a reality, and it couldn't have been more beautiful. We were thrilled with the outcome and again received so many compliments. NSE was a critical part of our day and we would work with them again in a heartbeat!

I am so happy that Ellen with Northland Special Events was a part of my wedding day. We utilized their planning, decorating, balloon, and floral services which made our lives so much easier the day of the event. Ellen was a pleasure to work with and took care of all of our needs throughout the entire process. Both my wife and I were blown away with just how beautiful everything turned out, and also how much better our day went because of NSE. We highly recommend anyone to contact NSE if you are putting together an event you want brought to the next level.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Northland Special Events and our event coordinator Kyla! We planned our wedding from out of state, and Kyla was amazing at helping us plan things over the phone, email, and a few meetings in person (when we could make it to the area) to help us bring our vision to life. The flowers, table centerpieces, and signage that was provided by NSE was exactly what we were hoping they would be, and I received many complements about my bridal bouquet. Kyla was amazing to have around on the day of our wedding and checked up on everyone frequently to make sure we were doing ok and did not need anything. She really helped take away a lot of my stress and helped everything go so smoothly before and during the ceremony, as well as during the reception!

When people ask me how my wedding was, one of the first things I say is that it was great, and it was great because we hired a fantastic day-of-coordination service. Seriously, we could not have done it without them. When we first got engaged, I wasn't sure we really needed a day-of-coordinator, but hiring one is now my #1 tip I give other brides.

From start to finish, I felt like Mariah just "got" us. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted on a lot of details, but even without articulating it, Mariah and her staff were able to deliver something better than I imagined. Every detail was surprisingly beautiful.

She took away so much of my stress during those busy last couple of weeks. Everything I had anxiety about, she was able to quickly resolve with a easy, "no problem" attitude. She answered every question we had and gave us an incredible sense of confidence.

We ended up having unexpectedly bad weather. The beautiful outdoor ceremony we'd planned with fall colors ended up being cold and rainy with icy gusts and sleet. When we had to move the ceremony inside, Mariah handled EVERYTHING. Honestly, the venue wasn't being very flexible, but Mariah worked with them to come up with an amazing plan B. All I had to do was show up.

I'll also give a plug for Superior Blooms, the sister company for Northland Special Events. They were our florist, and my bouquet was simply gorgeous. I got compliment after compliment on it all night. Mariah really understood our vision for the wedding and the florals were a perfect complement.

There were so many little details that Mariah and her team thought of and provided that made our wedding special. I can't recommend them highly enough! Truly, hiring Northland Special Events was the single best wedding decision we made.

I really don't even know where to begin. Northland Special Events was a godsend for our wedding. Right at the first phone call, I knew I would hire them. Lynda took my call and spent 20 minutes giving me venue ideas, etc. - at this point I hadn't paid them a thing and had received some of the best information I'd had . That's the kind of first impression that you never forget !
Mariah got my vibe and what I was looking for even when I didn't know how to get my ideas across. If wedding planning isn't really your "thing" you'll never regret hiring them. I had very specific ideas about what I wanted, and no idea how to execute them as well as no patience for any of it. Mariah took this all off my plate, gave me ideas I'd never had, and made my vision come to life. That, coupled with the knowledge that my family and friends didn't have to be concerned with logistics the day of, made this the best money we spent for our wedding. Truly cannot recommend Northland Special Events enough.

Thank you so much Mariah, Ellen, Sydney and all the rest of the crew who had a hand in making our wedding the best day of our lives. From our first meeting to the last I never questioned your abilities and expertise. Everything you did was flawless. All the floral, centerpieces, coordinating our rehearsal and our wedding day was well worth the pricing. This was my favorite expense because it made us the most happy and RELAXED. Mariah is literally a fairy godmother who made all my dreams come true.

I can not recommend NSE and Mariah's team enough, they help you through every step of the wedding planning process. I felt so close with Mariah during the planning that I ended up choosing her as our wedding officiant as well. Everyone at NSE wants you to have your dream wedding and they will go to the ends of the earth to make your day the perfect day for you. Thank you to the team for making our wildest dreams come true!

NSE was amazing to work with. Easy to communicate with and exceeded all of our expectations. Our coordinator listened to what we had envisioned and fully executed. The set up and clean up crew was amazing and worth every penny.

NSE not only exceeded our expectations but blew them out of the water! I have known Mariah and her team for some time but to work with them on our wedding was a dream come true. Each meeting we had was a ton of fun and all of my visions, simply put, came alive on the day of the wedding! One of the most special moments was when Darrin and I were able to walk into the ballroom for our "First Look" with Mariah and we were speechless. Every detail, every meeting, came alive in that ballroom! It was spectacular, unique, and so very special to us.

I would encourage all brides to hire NSE for their wedding it takes all of the stress off the bride, bridesmaids, families, etc. The weekend should be enjoyed and that is definitely what we had with NSE leading the way!

We would hire NSE again and again and will continue to for all the events that come our way. You have a lifelong client!

Planning a wedding from the groom’s perspective I had no idea the amount of work and stress that goes into it by the bride. My wife and I just got married 8/11/18. I am much more of a easy going “you decide babe” kinda guy. My wife on the other hand put her heart and soul into planning this wedding. She was also working overtime for her career and ran out of time for planning. We decided to hire NSE about a year before our big day. We live about two and a half hours from Duluth and we’re thinking that we possibly needed help. I was skeptical about paying someone for something we could do ourselves. About 2 weeks before our day we sat down for our final meeting. My wife was feeling a level of stress of 10 out of 10 and I was really worried. After our final meeting however Mariah and the team relieved us of the nagging stress. Not only does she seamlessly bring everything together, she is also like a therapist in working with the bride. She was able to speak with my wife in a way that calmed her and put her at ease. On the day of the wedding I was absolutely shocked at how they lead everything and made sure that everything went to plan. My wife was bombarded with questions and we were able to defer everything to NSE and they took care of it. Any requests that we had - they took care of it with a smile and quickness. Mariah also was the one that married us at the ceremony and I highly recommend her for that as well. She really outdid all of my expectations. They also did our decorations and flowers and then took all of our gifts to our hotel room at the end of the night so we didn’t have to worry about a thing! If you are a groom and worried about spending the amount of money they charge, believe me they are worth it for your wife’s sanity and your own. Planning a wedding is especially taxing on the bride. And if you’re like me and hate to see your significant other stressed, do everyone involved including yourself a favor and hire Northland Special Events.
