congratulations Amanda and Steve!

Amanda and Steve were married on July 15th just over the river in Moorhead. Their guests arrived to a table with place cards, showing them what table they were assigned to. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party did their grand march and began with dinner. The guests had their choice between two entrees, and chicken strips for the "kiddos". They had a beautiful summer reception with huge gerbera daisies at half of the tables, and a floating candle at the others. Their candy station was complete with a little saying that ended with "as you enjoy your bag of treats, please remember that LOVE is SWEET". Below are some comments that Amanda sent over along with some pictures from their night. We wish this sweet couple the best in their coming years together. Cheers to you guys!

Hi Jess, Everything at the Radisson was absolutely perfect! We had so many compliments about the food - it tasted and looked great! The serves was also great and the staff was so friendly! Even though we didn't have a lot of decorations the ballroom still looked beautiful! We were very pleased with everything. Thank you for putting up with all of our last minute changes and questions. Also, thank you to Jerry who had to put up with us decorating the night before. I don't think our reception could have gone any better. Thanks again for everything!!!

This fun loving couple was married on July 9th at the Bethel Church in Fargo. Their guests were greeted with an array of appetizers while they waited for the Bride and Groom to arrive after taking photos following the ceremony. Shortly after the social the night began with a dinner and a night of dancing with DJ Dude Walker. The ballroom was decorated with beautiful centerpeices which were red roses as well as a vase with a floating candle which set the mood for a wonderful evening of dancing. The guests enjoyed the sweetness of a cupcake provided by Hornbachers. We wish this couple the best in their future together. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon to Cancun!! Best Wishes!!

Congratulations Ruby & Adam!

Ruby and Adam were married on July 8th at the Episcopal Church in Fargo. Ruby and Adam were greeted from the balcony above as they entered the hotel lobby with hoots and cheers to begin a wonderful evening with family and friends. All of the guests enjoyed the dinner buffet they served as well as the chocolate bar table with many different types of chocolate candy. At each setting the couple provided boxes for each guest to load up on their favorite chocolates before the evening ended. Thier olive green and orange reception was complete with their beautiful 4 tiered cake from Quality Bakery along with an elegant centerpeice of which were tall eifle vases with two roses in the center of each table. We wish this couple the best in their future together as husband and wife. Best Wishes!!

Congratulations Jessica & Nate!

Jessica & Nate!
This fun loving couple was married on June 25th at the Messiah Lutheran Church in Fargo. The Atrium was filled with color with many flower arrangements in and around as people gathered to socialize with appetizers and cocktails while they waited for the couple to arrive to continue the evening with dinner and a night of dancing, music by PowerPlay DJ. Every detail was thought about which started with the centerpeices with many beautiful sunflower arrangments created by Jess's mother, along with the navy linens that were brought in by the couple added brightness which blossomed into an elegant evening for Jessica and Nate. As the guests arrived they were surrounded by the soft piano music in the background as they were requested to pick up their name tag(created by Jess's mother) which stated the guests name, which entree they were having, along with their seat placement(the tables were numbered and each name tag had a number to designate where they would be seated). As the guests entered the ballroom the soft lighting of the tea light candles on each table set the mood for a wonderful evening! We wish these two the best in their future together as husband and wife. We hope you had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Best Wishes!!

Congratulations Andrea & Chris!

Andrea & Chris!

This couple was married on June 24th, 2011 at St Anthony's Church in Fargo. Their guests were greeted with appetizers and cocktails as they waited for the couple to arrive from taking pictures following the ceremony in downtown Fargo. Following the social, dinner was served and shortly there after they made a toast and danced the night away to Paige Productions. On every guest table, the guests were swarmed with kisses from the couple(they were actually chocolate kisses). They also had beautiful hydrangea flowers for their centerpeice which was surrounded by tea lights which gave a very elegant feel to the room. A Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was at each place setting with a Thank You note from the couple attached to it. We wish Andrea and Chirs the best in their future together as husband and wife. Best Wishes!

congratulations Maggie and Mike!

This fun, life loving couple, was married on June 18th at Christ the king church in Moorhead. Their guests were greeted with appetizers and cocktails when they arrived to the hall, which was shortly followed by dinner and a night of dancing. Every detail was thought about which started when Maggie decided to haul up suit cases full of Macadamia nuts, all the way from Hawaii! Their centerpieces were complete when the flowers from the church, made it over to be used in the centerpieces. Good job on a "green" idea guys! We wish these two the best in their future together, just as Maggie's 1st graders in Hawaii did on the board she put up with their wishes. We hope you guys had a great time in Fiji (we have to say, we were wondering where a couple who lives in such a gorgeous place would honeymoon!) Below are some comments from both Maggie and her mom Claudia, thanks ladies!

Jess,

Thanks you to and the Radisson! once again we had awesome comments on the food and the venue as usual, was lovely. Mike and Maggie were absolutely thrilled with everything. It was really special because Mike hadn't been there before and he said we couldn't have picked a better place - that it was all perfect.

I think we were only short about 5 people for brunch and those who were there ate for them and about 30 others. Your kitchen staff was wonderful to make an additional batch of egg bake. The word got out that it was great and people really went for it. Maggie hates egg bake and she even liked it. Please thank the kitchen staff again - they were great. Also when tearing down on Saturday night, Sarah and Andy were so helpful. Also the kids and the parents loved the play room.

You were wonderful to work with and we all thank you immensely. I will continue to give the Radisson glowing recommendations.

Claudia
