I have to note on Thursday's special. I know that it may sound like an odd combination but I have to say... this dish is AMAZING! We had it a couple weeks ago and the jalapeno is so mild but adds so much flavor to this dish it is a must try. Easily one of my personal favorites we serve!

where we're going...

Thank you to everyone that could stop by our open house held on the 16th and 18th of November, it was great to see both familiar and new faces!! We had our display boards out as well as the renderings of where the hotel is going as far as design. Chef Tom and his staff presented just some of the new options that will be on our new menu when it comes out. If you don't want to wait for the new menu... we can still do all of these action stations, call for pricing!! The action stations were serving up everything such as the mashtini bar where guests could choose from regular mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, and top with their favorite condiments... much like our right now risotto bar where the guests could customize their risotto order right there with our cooks. Also included was our harissa chicken drummies and new zealand lamb chops grilled atop galvanized gutters, grilled gruyere and tomato mini sandwiches with acorn squash and quince soup. To top off every ones sweet tooth was a, not only appetizing, but impressive dessert station offering both chocolate & sea salt pot de creme as well as sweet ricotta & pears with walnut brittle. If you didn't have a chance to stop by during the open house feel free to stop by anytime, the renderings are in our lobby on display. Check them out on your way up to Perspecives Lounge for a specialty martini or Passages Cafe for a perfectly prepared dinner!

destination weddings!!

Destination weddings are becoming more popular, year after year, for couples in our area. They're intimate, relaxing and beautiful... who wouldn't like saying i-do on a beautiful white sand beach with the ocean as a back drop, surrounded by palm trees?? Hmmm... maybe I should talk my husband into a vow renewal!

Two couples had destination ceremonies, then joined us in October for gorgeous celebrations! their moments were caught by our camera below!

Crystal and Brandon were married in Jamaica in the middle of October. The brought back so much of the "Jamaican theme" with them. They greeted their guests with a photo of their names in sand along with a mojito bar inspired by their ceremony. Beautiful teal accented the white on white linens which were topped by a vase of lily's. They enjoyed an array of appetizers before they danced the night away to DJ Ryan Boyar. Later in the evening guests took advantage of the photo booth Crystal hired, Black Tie Photo Booth, where they went home with some fun pictures! We wish this wonderful couple the best in their future together!

Jess and Todd were married in Cobo just one day before Crystal and Brandon were married in Jamaica. Jess and Todd joined us the following weekend, the 30th of October, for a fun and beautiful reception. They brought their Mexican theme back with them in their centerpieces complete with sand as fine as the sand on the beaches of Mexico. They started their evening with appetizers and drinks followed by a plated meal before they danced to music provided by Powerplay DJ. We wish this couple the very best in their future together!

congratulations Brittany and Craig!

Brittany and Craig were married on October 23rd at First Lutheran Downtown. After their ceremony they joined us for a beautiful white on white reception with red accents. There were candles everywhere you looked, I have to tell you... I've never seen so many!! Brittany had friends decorate the ballroom but you would have thought it was a professional doing the job with how gorgeous everything was! Their guests were greeted with appetizers which lead into dinner after their social hour. Following dinner they danced the night away to By Request DJ. We wish this beautiful couple a happy future together, congratulations guys!

congratulations Jess and Greg!

This beautiful couple was married at the gorgeous NDSU Alumni Center on October 16th. Following their ceremony they, and their guests, joined us for a stunning fall reception. They were welcomed to the hotel with an aray of hors d'oeuvres and dinner was served after thier social hour. Breaking out of the punch "norm" this couple served their guests lemonade and iced tea, the perfect thirst quencher for this sunny fall day! No detail was left unturned for this couple. Their centerpieces, made by Jess, were mason jars of wheat, picked from her dad's field, just at the perfect time. Other tables housed a basket of fresh gourds and decorative corn. Each guest knew where they were heading when they were greeted by a cork board, covered in cloth, complete with button tacks holding on the table assignments. Homemade activity books for the kids, with hand made crayons, kept them busy all night along with great dance music provided by Powerplay DJ! To top everything off each table setting was complete with a hand dipped pretzel rod, which Jess and her dad worked on together, striped in red and orange drizzle. This reception is one that will stick with me for a long time. Fall receptions, always being my favorite, this couple truly compliments each other, congratulations guys! Below are just some of the photo's we got before the wedding guests arrived, along with some notes Jess sent over following the day!

To: Jess Fredette

From: Jess T.

Date: October 26th, 2010

Jess,

Everything went really well (and if it didn't no one told me!), Greg and i had just a great time!

The Radisson by far passed my expectations for the reception. The food was fantastic (from what i heard, i barely ate anything, too excited), and my dad said the appetizers must have been a big hit because he said there was barely anything left when he got there! The service was phenomenal, the staff was very courteous and helpful, especially packing up, that was great!

Thanks for everything, you were so great to work with through this whole wedding process, I really appreciate it!

 Jess

Carissa and Chris celebrated their wedding with us on Saturday, October 9th, 2010. It was a perfect fall day - better than they could have asked for! The ceremony was held at the South Campus of Hope Lutheran Church in Fargo. Afterwards, the bride, groom and their 170 guests, joined us for some light hors d'oeuvres during their social hour. The ballroom looked beautiful, decorated in strawberry pint and orange. LeNei with A Grand Affair did the decorating, and as usual, didn't disappoint! The alternating pink and black table linens accented their centerpieces, which were a gorgeous combination of submerged orange orchids and pink and orange roses. Their head table, draped in orange, stood out as a focal point for the couple. After dinner, everyone danced the night away to music provided by one of the couples close friends. What a fun group! We wish this amazing couple nothing but happiness in the years to come! Congratulations!
