Katie and Andrew's Wedding
Hopkins, MN, USA, August, 2007
"Our wedding was great! We used some great vendors and venues! We made our own invites and wedding programs with paper from Michael's and I highly recommend using www.craigslist.com to search for discount wedding items (centerpieces and such). We included the link to our Wedding Mapper page on the directiosn that were included in our invites. Many out-of-towners commented on how helpful the site was! Plus it's free!!"

Ceremony
Gethsemane Lutheran Church
715 Minnetonka Mills RdHopkins, MN 55343, US
Wonderful and beautiful church! Sanctuary is not air-conditioned and they do not allow secular music during the ceremony. You get to know the pastor through pre-marital counseling classes (required). We had a great experience with this church.
Reception
Minnetonka Country Club
24575 Smithtown RdExcelsior, MN 55331, US
I highly recommend the Minnetonka Country Club. It's pretty much the same price as any other venue and you get top-notch service!! Be sure to double-check your estimate bill and final bill for mistakes!!!
Hotel
Country Inn & Suites
591 W 78th StChanhassen, MN 55317, US
We used the shuttle service at this hotel ($300) to shuttle our guests from the reception to the hotel and the service we received was below-par. The driver was sleeping while he was waiting for people to come out for the midnight run and he refused to come back after 1am to pick up stranded guests (in the contract it states the shuttle must come back for extra guests at an additional price). We complained and got fully compensated. We rented a banquet room for opening gifts ($100). Our guests were loud and drunk and not a single one got kicked out so I am happy about that :)
