Congratulations Jenny and Chris!

Jenny and Chris were married on the 12th of December and celebrated with us by having a BEAUTIFUL reception in the Ballroom decorated by a professional from Minot (looked great Tami!)! They were a great and fun couple two work with, I didn't get to meet Chris until they arrived at the hotel and he came strolling in wearing a Santa hat, the first time I saw them together I knew they were meant for each other. Jenny and Chris both have such a fun loving, easy going personality and I wish them the best of luck in their future! Below are some comments they sent over regarding their reception, I also hope to get some pictures posted here shortly....

Thanks Jess! You did a wonderful job! You were extremely helpful and I loved all of the assistance that you gave me and my mom. The Radisson and you did a wonderful job hosting my wonderful event! The food was delicious! I would say that service was exceptional for both the reception and gift opening. The room was wonderful, the Jacuzzi was wonderful. I loved relaxing after dancing all night!
Thank you so much for everything Jess! You organized a wonderful reception for Chris and I. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more wonderful person (you) to work with! Thank you!!

Thanks again!
Jen

Congratulations Nichole and Blake!

Nichole and Blake were married over the Thanksgiving weekend on the 29th of November. Being from Montana Nichole brought the wilderness to Fargo with her. They decorated the ballroom with fresh clippings from their land in Montana and brought them to Fargo. The ballroom looked GORGEOUS! Below are some snapshots of the Atrium and Ballroom before any of the guests started to arrive...

their guest book table with a picture to sign....
 

below is an arrangement they had done on our piano, it was positioned right off the elevator as the guests arrived and signed the guest book....

the below pictures are pretty self explanatory; the first is the cake table, second is punch and the next two are ballroom shots....

they had a variety of centerpieces on each table; below is an arrangement that they had at their head table with the sticks/vine going across the entire head table, the two below are some that were on the guest tables....

A nice thank you from a nice client!

Below is a comment from an event that we catered last night at a location off site (that's right we can bring the catering to you!). What a great person to work with and a great e-mail, thanks Jed!

We also want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, may it be filled with family, friends and safe travels to your destinations!

Hello Sarah-
I have heard nothing but great things in regards to the party. People commented on how nice everything looked (i.e. the table decors and food arrangement).
I wanted to say thank you once again for everything! Your catering/organization exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated everything.

Congratulations Amber and Eric!

Amber and Eric were a WONDERFUL couple to work with! They had a beautiful Hawaii ceremony on the 3rd of November followed by a reception with us on the 14th. The ballroom was decorated BEAUTIFULY, they brought their tropical theme back with them by using fresh orchids (which were HUGE) in the centerpieces along with beta fish on some of the tables. Below are some pictures of the ballroom along with some comments they sent over. Thanks guys, we hope you all of the best in your future!

Hey Jess,
Just wanted to thank you again for all your work on our wedding reception. As I said before it was just beautiful and everything went very smoothly. The Cityscape Ballroom was the perfect place for our event. It is spacious, yet still intimate.

Thanks again,
Amber and Eric

They did a beautiful job decorating the ballroom!The first dance!

A happy testimonial!!

The below comment is from a group that had a dinner event with us on the 11th of November. What a great group to work with!

Jess -
Someone from Bemidji called wondering if they could get the recipe to the pasta tortellini salad that we had - they thought it was EXCELLENT!! I have received raving reviews on the food - great job!

Thanks for the WONDERFUL comments... our staff AND chef LOVE to hear them!

Meet the Cityscape Ballroom....

You may or may not be familiar with our Cityscape Ballroom, the place where the magic happens, located on our 3rd floor. It can accommodate up to 280 guests, including your head table, and offers great views of downtown Fargo. I wanted to attach some pictures of various weddings we have had within the past year.

On a side note we are also hoping to have our menus and cost breakdown on our Blog as soon as possible, right now we're looking at the end of November.... we'll keep you "posted"!!

Holiday centerpiece revealed!

After much consideration we have decided on our 2008 Holiday Centerpiece! These arrangements will be available complimentary to our holiday parties and receptions. There are only a limited number on hand so if you're one of our couples or corporate holiday parties that would like to use them let your sales representative know and we'll be sure they're set aside for you! They are 24 inches tall and arranged in an eiffle tower vase with a combination of silver curly willow, ting ting, silver berries, glittered snowflakes, fluffy "snow" and tinsel....

Hi Jess!

I thought everything went amazingly well. We didn't have any problems, and we heard nothing but great things about the food. I thought everyone - from the wait staff to the bartenders to you (of course) - were so great to work with and everything was so accommodating. We really appreciate all of your help!

Thanks again for everything!
Danielle
