welcome to hearten
A wedding ring is often described as an outward symbol of an inward Commitment: by the time you are up there on the altar, you have already made a commitment to each other in your hearts. Likewise, this magazine is an outward sign of a commitment that we have already made as local wedding professionals. It’s a commitment to sharing our expertise, to bringing creativity and passion to our endeavors, and always representing the warm humor and camaraderie of the Midwest. This magazine, we hope, shows our commitment to keeping these values in Minnesota. Our inspiration is local - in this premier issue we bring elegance to the kitschy side of Minnesota tradition. Enjoy our delectable church basement feast, featuring playful takes on the foods we all rejected as teenagers. And in our reinvention on “Paul Bunyon & Babe,” we bring the local fashion scene into Minnesota folklore. This is the first day of our outward commitment helping you plan the right wedding for you, with some encouragement, bountiful ideas, and a lot of Minnesota. ~ Becca Dilley Founder, Independent Wedding Association
