Awarded Best of Zola
We booked DJ Clife because it was important to us have an energetic emcee and DJ who would work with our non-traditional wedding day flow and could mix/transition music (not just queue a playlist). He understood our goals and helped advise in planning/details, answering all the questions I had. We had a little scare with our initial assigned day of DJ getting double booked but we were SO happy with DJ Kanoya and his assistant!! They were super personable, and we & all of our guests (we brought LOTS of east coasters with us to Iowa!) had an amazing night on the dance floor!

ap FILM & PHOTO

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Cedar Rapids, IA

I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlee is the best to work with. I can’t wait to see the rest of my album, I’m already giddy with the sneak peak! She was absolutely everything I wanted in a photographer and more. My husband wasn’t wanting pictures, but during the wedding and afterwards, he was so grateful we had Ashlee capture it. Her style was what I was dreaming of, and if you’re worried about posing, she helps coach your poses. Our wedding was a fantastic day, and she’s one of the reasons it was.

Welcome to Elizabeth Bliss Events! We’re a destination wedding planning and day of coordination company that is truly passionate about the industry, and are excited to help create the perfect event for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Lauren on a wedding in Colorado a few years ago and I know the bride LOVED working directly with her. The bride didn't have to worry about a thing the day of which was extremely helpful since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from out of state. Lauren was friendly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and ultimately a pleasure to work with. I am a photographer and spend the entire day with the wedding couple and it was so great to see the bride not have to worry about a thing the day of because she knew Lauren had it handled already. I have also attended a styled wedding photoshoot that Lauren and Mercedes hosted this year and that was also amazing! I was blown away by the details and overall theme to it and it made for some fantastic photos to add to my portfolio. Whenever I see a wedding couple looking for a planner or day or coordinator, I always recommend Elizabeth Bliss Events!

Graphic Formation Films

Cedar Rapids, IA
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $6,500

I am a midwest filmmaker who specializes in weddings. My passion for filming weddings started with me documenting my own life and family events. I've fallen in love with genuine moments and preserving memories that can be relived in the future.

My husband and I had the best experience working with Ben. We had to postpone our celebration due to Covid in 2020 and Ben offered to film our very small ceremony then come film our big party in Sept of 2021! It was such a pleasure working with him and he made us feel so comfortable and was so accommodating through all the struggle. I was blown away by our videos. They are so fun, personal, and special to us. I love how the vibe of our video is very unique and catered to our relationship and personalities. Do not hesitate to have Ben as your videographer for the big day!

  • All-inclusive venue packages
  • Provides catering services
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
I can't say enough good things about Rosedale. Firstly, the venue is stunningly beautiful. It really needs no "dressing-up". Secondly, Jen is so nice and so helpful. Not only did she answer all my silly questions but did so promptly and with a smile. Working with this venue was such a breeze it felt odd not to have to worry about so many things. We chose to go with the all inclusive package which meant we had access to the whole venue from getting ready to our outdoor photos, ceremony in the beautiful gazebo, and the reception hall. Lastly, the catering is fantastic. We attended multiple tastings and loved everything they served. We ultimately went with the classic menu simply because it fit into our budget the best. If we had more room in the budget, we would have gone with a custom menu because we tasted so many delicious offerings that were not on a set menu. I would highly recommend this venue and catering company.

They included beautiful decor and backdrops in the rental, making it a breeze to design and decorate the space without having to bring in all of that ourselves.

I got my start many years ago when I was living back home in Chicago, at a cute little bakery, that I still visit to this day! I went back and forth between working in graphic design to cooking and baking. I started working in the bakery at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center as a part-time line cook in 2013 and in 2015 a became their in-house cake designer. In 2019 I decided to leave my position at the hotel and opened Sugar Flower Cake Design.
