Elska Photography

Laid-back style Gives back locally Collections from $1,800 (engagement session included)
Photos: Elska Photography

Elska Photography was built from a simple love of photography and a willingness to follow that passion fully. Weddings may be at the heart of the business, but the deeper focus has always been creating images that help people feel beautiful, confident, and fully themselves.

The name Elska means “love” in Icelandic—a reflection of both the photographer’s Icelandic roots and the meaning behind the work itself: capturing moments that cannot be relived, but can be remembered through thoughtful imagery.

“Photography is my full-time passion.”
Katie’s note Couples often connect with the down-to-earth approach and the ability to make the experience feel natural rather than overly posed. Beyond weddings, Elska also gives back locally through an annual showcase that raises awareness for suicide prevention and supports another local business each year.

Fuze Entertainment grew from an early love of music and a simple start helping with school dances—an experience that quickly turned into private events, weddings, and larger celebrations. Today, the business focuses on weddings, event lighting, and private events, with occasional corporate and nonprofit work as well.

What stands out most is the ability to read a room and build momentum naturally throughout the night. From smooth emceeing to creative track mixing, Fuze Entertainment brings an energy that keeps the dance floor moving without making the night feel forced or over-scripted.

The company’s roots go back to founder Dave Harmon’s love of dance, which eventually grew into teaching, wedding receptions, and what became the full Harmon Experience couples know today.

“They are your entertainment director for the reception.”
Katie’s note From teaching group dances to keeping kids engaged and coordinating the full flow of the evening, they act as true entertainment directors rather than simply staying behind the booth.

Love Always Floral

Fargo, since 2016 Full-service weddings Large installations $3,500 minimum (2026 season)
Photos: Revel Woods Photography and Liv by Grace, among others

Founded in 2016, Love Always Floral began as a one-woman business in Fargo and quickly grew into a private floral studio built around intentional design, creativity, and care. The name itself comes from founder Christy Tehven’s grandmother, whose handwritten signoff—Love Always, Grandma Lois—became both the inspiration and the studio’s logo.

Today, Love Always Floral focuses on full-service weddings, large floral installations, and everyday arrangements, with a team of designers known for thoughtful work, natural composition, rich texture, and unexpected floral combinations.

“Flowers are a visual representation of love.”
Katie’s note What stands out most is how much intention goes into every design—from large wedding installations to meaningful everyday moments. Their work blends artistry with warmth, creating florals that feel personal rather than formulaic.

Heart Cakes is a women-owned Fargo-Moorhead custom cake business built by two friends with a shared dream of opening their own space. When a local café became available, they took the leap and opened Moonrise Cafe, a neighborhood spot that now serves both custom cakes and everyday café favorites.

Known for scratch-made breakfast, lunch, pastries, desserts, and house-made coffee syrups, Heart Cakes creates custom wedding cakes designed around each couple’s style. Their specialty is vintage Lambeth-style cakes, with intricate buttercream piping and classic detail.

“Everybody deserves to feel welcome somewhere. We are here to hopefully make everyone’s day a little brighter.”

The UPS Store Print Shop

Women-owned 14+ years of weddings Two Fargo locations

With a background in graphic design and 17 years at The UPS Store, their print team has built a strong reputation for helping couples bring wedding details to life with both design support and high-quality printing. As a women-owned and women-run business, they’ve worked with wedding couples for more than 14 years and take pride in a “we can do that” approach.

From save the dates, invitations, programs, and name cards to welcome signs, seating charts, acrylic table numbers, yard signs, and metal keepsakes, they handle both everyday paper goods and larger display pieces. Complimentary print samples and careful attention to detail help couples feel confident before placing final orders.

“It’s so fun to take the stress away from couples when it comes to wedding printing.”
Katie’s note I’ve personally worked with Cassie and appreciated how detail-oriented and responsive she was—she made the entire process feel simple and much less stressful.

After the “I do”

Honeymoon planning

We craft honeymoon experiences as unique as your love story. Whether that means an all-inclusive escape in the Caribbean or a quiet Greek island village, each journey is shaped with care, rooted in your story, and built around the moments you want to remember long after the wedding.

When Fargo couples should start planning their honeymoon

Start about 9 to 12 months before the wedding. That’s early enough to get the resort and room category you want, especially for popular travel months like January through April, when Fargo couples are ready for sunshine. It also leaves time to check passports and spread out payments.

If you’re planning a fall wedding and leaving right after, book before summer. Many couples also add a mini-moon now and save the longer trip for later in the year. Both approaches work, and I can help you decide which fits your budget and schedule.

Mexico + the Caribbean

Destination weddings

Destination weddings offer a different way to celebrate—less centered on managing details and more centered on connection, experience, and time together.

When to start planning a destination wedding

12–18 monthsChoose your destination and resort, lock in your date, and set up your guest room block.
9–12 monthsSend save-the-dates with the booking link so guests can reserve their rooms and check passports.
6–9 monthsPlan your ceremony details with the resort’s wedding coordinator and book your honeymoon.
60–90 daysFinal guest payments are due, and the room block closes.

A local Fargo wedding and a destination wedding also don’t have to be either/or. Some couples marry abroad with close family, then host a casual reception at home for everyone else, using the vendors in this guide.

Planning your wedding shouldn’t feel like a list of tasks to get through. It’s a meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you deserve to enjoy every moment of it.

I help busy couples plan stress-free destination weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean with curated resort recommendations, room block management, and full guest support.

Before the big day

Wedding party getaways

Bachelorette and bachelor trips have become a favorite way to celebrate before the wedding, whether that’s a beach weekend in Mexico, a few days at an all-inclusive, or a city trip with your closest friends. I plan group getaways with everyone’s budgets and schedules in mind, so the person organizing it gets to enjoy the trip too.

Plan group trips 6 to 9 months ahead. That gives everyone time to save, request time off, and lock in rooms together.

Questions couples ask

Fargo wedding planning FAQ

When should we book our Fargo wedding venue?

Most couples book their venue 12 to 18 months before the wedding. Summer and fall Saturdays fill first, so if you have a specific date in mind, start touring as soon as you’re engaged.

How far in advance do Fargo wedding photographers book?

Plan on 9 to 12 months, and earlier for popular photographers. Some take a limited number of weddings each year, so reach out once your date and venue are set.

When should we set up a hotel room block for guests?

Set it up once your date and venue are confirmed, ideally before you send save-the-dates so you can include the booking link. Many Fargo hotels require a minimum number of rooms per night for group rates.

When is the Fargo bridal show?

The Bridal Fantasy Wedding Show is held each October at the Hilton Garden Inn Fargo. KFGO’s The Wedding Show is held each January.

When should we start planning our honeymoon?

Start about 9 to 12 months before the wedding. That’s early enough to get the resort and room you want, especially for travel between January and April. See honeymoon ideas.

Can a Fargo couple plan a destination wedding?

Yes. I help Fargo-area couples plan destination weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean, from choosing the resort to managing the guest room block and answering guests’ travel questions. Some couples also host a casual reception back home afterward. Learn more about destination weddings.
