Amanda Schaffer Makeup

Afton, MN
  • Beauty professional

I’m a licensed esthetician with the passion for bridal makeup. Located on the boarder of Minnesota and Wisconsin, so welcoming brides from both states! I specialize in a soft glam. I love a nice glowy base and a good set of lashes!

Amanda was amazing! I had my trial about a month prior to my wedding and loved it! The makeup stayed all day. Amanda was very responsive with any questions I had. She even let me know that she was going to make a couple adjustments to my makeup from the trial to make sure it was perfect. On the day of the wedding she was there bright and early and ready to go! She gave me a schedule for my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG. She was very flexible when we had to make a couple adjustments to the timeline as well. She was so friendly and professional and also gave me a touchup kit before she left. Her pricing is very transparent and I love that she includes lashes and airbrush or traditional foundation. I highly recommend Amanda and would rebook her 1000 times over!

Kerri Ann was communicative from the start of the whole wedding process. She helped us, as we were wedding planning, make a mock schedule of how the day could flow. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us. She accomendated us when we said we wanted our engagement photos in Duluth, Minnesota. We met with her a couple of weeks before the wedding to make a plan of all the different photographs we wanted as a couple and she was attentive and made notes to ensure we got all the photos we wanted for our special day. On our wedding day, Kerri and Ava, helped so much with us staying on schedule and getting all the photos we wanted. Ava helped get all the groomsmen photos while Kerri got all the bridal party ones. Having 2 photographers helped so much on the day of. We got our photos back really quickly and they all turned out amazing. It's hard to pick a favorite as well as which ones we'll want to hang up since we love so many of them. Thanks so much, Kerri and Ava, for all you did on our wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJs are expected to be perfect, every second they are working, every day. No other job has this expectation. We understood this and wanted a human DJ, not a robot. We wanted a DJ company that can follow what we wanted, what we put on the forms, a DJ to play our music, fill in great songs to match our taste and style, to pack the dance floor (we know this isn't a reasonable request as this relies on guests, not solely the DJ alone), a DJ that can pick music to encourage guests to dance, and show up on time and do not a perfect job, but amazing job. And this DJ did just that! Our fear was a dance that had poor music and no dancers. That's it. We've seen so many other DJ fail at this. Not this DJ company, they were amazing and exceeded all requirements above. The DJ was outstanding and worth every penny. And I loved that I could call the COMPANY at 10pm with questions. Knock out job and very well done. Highly recommend these amazing (not perfect) humans! :)

I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Keighla, her photos, and her work quality are the BEST! From the start, she is super responsive - the first sign of a quality vendor. Then throughout the planning process, she guided us through our day of timeline and logistics with ease, giving us tips and guidance on all things wedding. We were okay not taking engagement photos until Keighla suggested that we do them in order to get comfortable in front of the camera and meet her before our wedding day. So smart! We loved taking those photos and are so happy we have them forever and it was so much fun getting to know each other. Keighla is your biggest photo hype girl when she’s behind the camera and she makes you feel so comfortable. She will keep your day on track and will be by your side from getting ready to dance floor and everything in between. When we got our photos back, we swooned over them! We still do to this day. She captures the best moments in the most beautiful way. Recommend Keighla’s Fresh Face Photos 100%!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Been working weddings at the refuge for over 19 years. Hands down my favorite place to work with. The staff and food are as good as it get's. They will bend over backwords for you to make all your needs met. The place is beautiful like a ski lodge in Aspen with amazing place's for picture's and sunset. I have seen a bride change her mind 4 times before the ceremony on where to do it because of rain. The staff had all the chairs and wiped down and moved in under 13 minutes. Yes we moved 189 guest's 3 times in under 30 minutes because that is what the bride wanted on her day was outside. Sun came out and it rocked, and all we did was cut into 25 minutes of social hour. I could tell you stories for days and not one of them are bad. Joe, Krista and Lisa and the rest of the staff work very hard to make your wedding day everything you dreamed of. LUKE

Megan absolutely knocked it out of the park. She understood my vision and delivered florals that were absolutely swoon worthy. She was able to put together flowers that blended texture and color in a way that was simply perfection. She was also budget conscious throughout the process (we reused/repurposed bridesmaids bouquets) which I really appreciated. I think the photos speak for themselves. I would recommend working with Megan again and again. She is a lovely person to talk to and a dream to work with!

Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Noe and his ability to read a crowd and deliver a great party. No matter what you’re looking for, Noe at Viva La Fiesta is your guy!! Leia and Taylor

11/10 RECOMMEND. We had the absolute best experience we could have imagined for our August wedding at the Madison. From the very start, our interactions with Brad and Louise felt so special and different. They wanted to know us as people, shared in our excitement and we felt completely taken care of from day one. Brad and Louise were always responsive, open to new ideas and helped us to curate the absolute best experience we could have imagined for our day. I truly cannot recommend this venue/these people enough. As for the venue, the natural and historic beauty of the space speaks for itself. We loved all of the natural wood and the historic feel of the barn while also enjoying upgraded spaces including the Bride and Groom suites. These spaces were full of natural light for photos, all of the amenities we needed and were such a perfect way to start out our day. I will always have precious memories inside of that bridal suite with my favorite people surrounding me. We chose to get married on the back patio which is an absolutely incredible space that we fell in love with immediately. The flowers and greenery outdoors were blooming and made for absolutely stunning photos without us adding additional florals. Brad & Louise’s meticulous care of the property was apparent at every turn from landscaping to décor and more. Brad even built a sweetheart table for two made from historic wood that we were able to use as our head table. Who does that?! They do. Brad and Louise were both present on the day of the wedding and helped to us to make sure everything went smoothly. August in MN can get hot and our day was no exception but the barn stayed plenty cool and was comfortable for our guests to enjoy dancing all night. We didn’t make use of the second story for dinner but we did set up a photo booth and second bar upstairs which allowed guests to step away from the busy dance floor and take in precious moments from above. I could go on and on about the day and the space and just how happy we were with how it all came together. If you are considering this venue—book it. You'll be glad you did.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Afton, MN

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

From the moment we booked Little Mac Design, their communication was excellent. They were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was amazing - we absolutely love the way our wedding photos turned out! The photographer was so hands-on and made me feel so special on our big day. I also love her personality and how flexible she was when I wanted to change a few things. You can really tell how compassionate she is about her work, and the photos truly do show that. Thank you so much to Little Mac Design for making our special day even more incredible!
