Black Bear Crossings photo 2009-12-31

Question (from phone call):

Hello, Rev. Coleman,

This is Kathy from Black Bear Crossings in Saint Paul. Thank you for all your referrals from your website, and we're so glad to refer couples to you, as well! We love the picture you took of Black Bear Crossings, the one on where you review our wedding reception site, in the bottom right, which shows the lake. Would it be okay if we used it in our site?

Sincerely,

Kathy


Answer:

Good morning, Kathy,

It was so nice talking with you today! Yes, you may certainly use my photo of Black Bear Crossings, which is attached.  I love performing wedding ceremonies at your site, and couples are always glad that they chose it! Thank you, too, for all your wonderful referrals.

I look forward to working with you again!

Warm regards,

Rev. Tomkin Coleman

Northfield, MN wedding venue 2010-01-04

Question:

Hello Reverend Tomkin,

I recently discovered your Minnesota Wedding Blog, and you have such great information on Minneapolis/St. Paul wedding venues. I'm wondering if you have any information on venues in Northfield, MN, or if you know of anyone who might be able to give us that information. My fiancee is from Northfield, and that is where we would, ideally, like to have our wedding ceremony/reception, but we don't really know where to start looking.

Thanks,

Fiance is from Northfield





Answer:


Good evening, FIFN,

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

YES, there is a wonderful, classy site in Northfield, MN - the Grand Event Center, a former old-style movie theater, now converted into a gorgeous venue.

It's beautiful, private, and the people there are very friendly - I think you'd love it!

Warm regards,

Minneapolis wedding location question 2010-01-05

Question:
 Hello Reverend Tomkin,
I'm planning to have an August wedding in Minnesota and we were looking for outdoor locations for weddings and stumbled across this picture of you and a couple:

 I was wondering if you could perhaps remember this particular wedding and it's location because it looks absolutely beautiful! :)
Thanks so much!!I look forward to hearing back from you! :) August Bride

Answer:
Dear AB, Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Unfortunately, that picture is from a wedding I performed at the Four Seasons Resort in Maui, Hawaii (sorry!) They flew me out there and put me up in a hotel room...if that works for you, of course, that's great, but otherwise, the closest wedding site we have to that in Minnesota would be the Sunken Garden at the Como Conservatory, pictured below. A review of this wedding location is here.



Warm regards, Rev. Tomkin ColemanWeddings in Minneapolis

Photography giveaway in MN 2010-01-09

Question:


Reverend Coleman, 


I'd like to introduce myself.  My name is Jacob Mengelkoch, and I am a co-founder and photographer for a Minneapolis, MN based photography and videography company called Imagine Your Wedding.  


Right now I'm working on promoting our business.  In order to do so, we're doing a free wedding photography and video giveaway of our standard package, which is normally $3000.


I've taken a look around your website and decided to email you because you seem like the right kind of person we want our business networking with.  I love your information on great places to take wedding photographs in Minneapolis/St Paul! Would you be interested in perhaps mentioning this giveaway to any Minnesota brides that don't already have a photo/video person set up?  That would be great!  There will be a blog post regarding this sometime between tonight and tomorrow morning.  Please take a look around our website and let us know what you think!  Thanks so much.
