Matthew Sherry, DJ and Video Services
A couple of years ago I met Matt Sherry at a bridal expo. We were sharing with each other about our businesses and I was immediately impressed with the vast knowledge and experience Matt has with music and video. (Their family run business, Complete Music and Video, has been around for over 37 years!) In just talking with Matt I knew why they’re so successful – he was really interested in talking with me and actually listened to what I was saying. I knew he did that with his brides, too, in order to be top picked DJ by brides!
Matt offers a cool “Meet the DJ night” about once a month at their office so brides & grooms can meet him and the other DJs, and I am often there showing how easy it is to register your honeymoon, too. It is usually the 3rd Thursday of the month and is fun because you get to spend more time with the DJs figuring out what you want while munching on some appetizers and sipping beverages in a casual environment – just for you.
When you are looking for a DJ, give Matt a call Contact Matt at: Complete Music and Video 222 N Concord Exchange Suite #3 South St. Paul, MN 55075 651 455 7244 Complete Music Website

Mike has been working with Brouillette Group (a family owned company) since 2006 and is well versed in all types of insurance; home, auto, commercial, health and even wedding. Mike works with a large variety of insurance companies. What that means for you is-- he is going to get the best coverage and best price for you and your family.
I know from experience, when meeting with Mike he takes time to listen and gather information from you, then goes to work for you analyzing your information, making recommendations, and designing a program for you. If he finds that you already have the best coverage for your money he will let you know and suggest to stay with the insurance company you are already with, and when he finds something better for you he will present you with your options so you can make the best choice possible. He actually told me to stay with my current insurance – I was impressed!
You can call Mike to have him do a free analysis for you and your new spouse. It is well worth it. The majority of the time he can get you BETTER coverage at a lower cost than what you are paying now and it's great time to review your insurance needs as you merge your lives together.

Besa Regan, Bridal Glamor
OK… To be honest with you, I am not much of a make-up kind of girl and I use to be allergic to some of Mary Kay’s skin care products. So why am I recommending Besa? Simply because Besa is FABULOUS and very funny to boot! A couple of years ago she sat down with me to give me a free facial and explain to me all about the new Mary Kay products (I hadn’t tried them in over 15 years and they had changed a lot), and I actually ended up liking them! She took a lot of time to listen to me and then teach me how to apply make-up so it looks nice and you can’t really tell that I am wearing it. She didn’t try to pressure me into buying anything, which I very much appreciated. Now I don’t waste any more time or money with other products. I just buy Mary Kay. They even have a 100% back guarantee – so if I don’t like something I can send it back. I have officially gotten rid of my junk make-up drawer!
Besa is a Mary Kay lady for life. She has been teaching professional skin care and color cosmetics with Mary Kay since November 2003 and is very passionate about it! She is so good at what she does she has earned a couple of Mary Kay cars and a gorgeous diamond ring! She LOVES to sit down with women, give them facials that they feel beautiful in – that is true beauty when a lady lights up and radiates with her new look! She can help you do that for your wedding day!
