Jackie and Lucas...

The beautiful Friday after Thanksgiving, Jackie and Lucas were married at Trinity Lutheran in Moorhead. They decorated the ballroom in gold sprayed wheat and evergreen branches, along with gold and blue holiday bulbs and dark blue hydrangeas. In lieu of a wedding cake, Jackie's grandmother provided a Norwegian wedding cake while Lucas's mom, came with hundreds of mouthwatering petifores. After an array of appetizers, this good looking couple and their friends danced the night away to music provided by power play DJ.

Tara and Ryan...

This fun spirited couple was married in the ballroom, surrounded by their closest family and friends.  Tara and Ryan had a circle ceremony, a very fun and intimate idea I'm keeping in mind for my 25th wedding anniversary.  The couple's family and friends walked in to the ballroom, onto the dance floor which was in front of the windows, and formed a circle.  After everyone was in Tara and her dad entered the room and her dad, closed off the circle.  A very emotional ceremony had tears coming to my eyes when Tara had to take a deep breath to say her vows.  After the sand ceremony, the pronouncement of marriage and a couple champagne toasts, the couple were joined with more friends and family as the night went on.  They served a wide array of appetizers and very cute cupcakes which were provided by Hornbachers.  Every table was arranged with submerged flowers and a floating candle.  Congratulations guys, with this much love in your eyes... you have many happy and healthy years ahead of you!  Below is a note that Tara sent over and some pictures that I snapped before there ceremony started.

Hi Jess! 

Thank you, we had the best time at our wedding!!!  Everything went well and we all had a blast!!  The food was yummy and the Radisson staff was very friendly and accommodating.  I just loved Jerry!!  He had the best ideas and was so helpful.  Everyone we came in contact with at the Radisson was so wonderful!  Thank you for all you do!!!  I didn't think I was nervous but at the ceremony I was all of a sudden hit with so much emotion that it left me speechless.  I could feel the love of our family surrounding us and standing there staring in the eyes of the man I love took my breath away!  Your music timing was excellent Jess...thank you!  I'm glad you liked the circle ceremony and are going to use it on your 25th anniversary, how special that will be!!    I also enjoyed working with you, you made everything so easy!  Thanks again so much Jess, I  wish you only good things!

Heather and Trevor...

This gorgeous couple was married on November 4th in Fargo.  Their guests were greeted with a hosted drink before they entered the ballroom which was tastefully decorated with white hydrangeas and cranberry stems.  Their wishing tree was accompanied by photos of both Heather and Trevor's parents on their wedding days.  Their cake, provided by NDSU catering, was 3 layers and went with their berry theme with each tier separated by 3 different kinds of berries.  A very cute idea, and one we've never seen!  We wish Heather and Trevor a marriage full of many happy years!

Nikki and Cody...

October 22nd started with fun when the guests came off the elevator, and were greeted by servers buttlering 6 different appetizers.  After the ballroom doors were open the guests flocked into a beautiful ballroom decorated with fall themes of gold pained pumpkins and pheasant feathers.  Each time the glasses wrung, the bride and groom would pick a couple to kiss before they would.  Everyone was hooting and hollering to the good time!  Engagement and fun photos of the couple were on each table in the Atrium, and a gold painted mailbox housed the cards they received.  We wish this couple many happy years together!

Kayla and John...

The life loving Kayla and John were married on October 21st before they and their 230 guests joined us for a very social reception.  They had no head table, instead cocktail tables lined the windows in place of it.  Each table was complete with a beautiful centerpiece put together by Sarah Gefroh Brandenburg.  Their cake was lined with pretzel rods that resembled sticks and the guests were welcomed by a scrapbook and a book the couple put together on Shutter fly, with all of their US and world travels.  Their wishing tree was FULL of well wishes from their guests by the end of the night.  If we would have filled one out, it would have read "cheers to the next happy 65+ years you two have together!" Congratulations guys!  Below are some snap shots and some comments from Kayla.

Hi Jess,

Thanks for reaching out... everything was absolutely fantastic!  I didn't have time to eat much, but I heard wonderful things about the food from the guests.  Of course, the baked brie was a huge hit!  Jerry was great and I was extremely happy with all of the service, although it was no surprise to me!  The whole day, including the reception was absolutely perfect and you and the Radisson were a big part of that!  THANK YOU!

It was a complete pleasure working with you Jess!  Should I ever need to host a large event again I will certainly look to the Radisson!

Thanks again,

Kayla

 

 

Becky and Nils...

This beautiful couple was married in August in Cobo then came and celebrated with friends and family in our ballroom on October 14th.  They brought back the "ocean" with them in their centerpieces.  They had a purple candle in sand with sea shells on each table.  The night started with playing their ceremony on the big screen before everyone enjoyed munching on appetizers and dancing the night away.  The photo booth was sure a hit with everyone too which was set up in the Atrium.  We wish you guys the best!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Hiti!

Congratlutions Josephine & Michael!

This fun loving couple married October 15th, 2011.  The ballroom and atrium area were decorated in fall colors to fit the season along with gaming feathers, which resembled a hobby of both the bride and groom.  As the guests arrived here at the Radisson, appetizers and complimentary drinks welcomed them.  There was assigned seating for the guests, which each name tag stated their name and table number along with a colored flower which resembled the food option.  The slideshow played throughout the social hour and into the dinner for the guests to watch and enjoy all of the memories Jo and Mike created throughout the years.  The dinner was served to all the guests and during the dinner a game was played, and the only way the bride and groom could kiss was if someone stood up and sang a love song to them.  This was such a great touch to the evening which brought laughter and love to a room filled with close family and friends.   The cake was served and the toasts were made to begin an evening with dancing to MixVibes DJ Service.   We wish this couple the best in their future together as husband and wife!  Best Wishes!
